In a YouTube video of the Xperia XA1, I heard that it will have a 100% SRGB screen or something and that it should have awesome quality. Now is this true or not?

      Anonymous, 27 Feb 2017i am not a sony fanboy and i actually think sony is really ... moreI think the XA1's pricing is fine considering the 23MP camera that came with the Xperia XZ (minus 4K video and the triple sensors). The XA1 also brought some premium design elements from the XZ like the loop surface. Hopefully they will use better build materials as the XA1's weight increased.

      But unfortunately for Sony, Motorola came with the G5 Plus having a Galaxy S7-like camera. But I'd still choose Sony's Hybrid AF over the G5 Plus' Dual Pixel AF.

      Also, Moto G designs can't get anywhere near Sony's. People complain of Sony phones' "big bezels". How would Moto phones look beside Xperia phones, then? Really, the Moto G5 bezels look ugly. Not to mention, all previous Moto G models had those huge bezels.

      And one last thing, THE HELIO P20 TOPS THE SNAPDRAGON 625 IN BENCHMARKS. THE HELIO P20 IS BASED ON A 16NM PROCESS. THIS WILL DELIVER LOTS OF PERFORMANCE AND BATTERY LIFE IN THE XA1'S 720P SCREEN.

            AnonD-257034, 27 Feb 2017Qnovo hasn't proved to be beneficial (not saying it's not, ... moreQnovo is to protect battery against the effects of fast charge.
            A battery that might live 2 or 3 years can get extra time.

            Qnovo is not power saving like Stamina.

                    Anonymous, 28 Feb 2017Don't talk about the Xiaomi, the Redmi low light photo is s... moreExaggerate and completely nonsense. Xiaomi's photo are fine for daily use but just don't expect the best out of this world. If you want very good photo quality I would buy Samsung, LG something instead of this overpriced phone with subpar battery from Sony.

                    And Xiaomi can compete with Sony just fine. In the lastest news Xiaomi sell 41.5m unit with 8.9% market share in 2016 and this in just in China alone not include world wide. I remember read some news before but too lazy to dig the numbers, Xiaomi also doing very well in India and in Asia. Also in price per performance/specs Xiaomi doing much better job than Sony. You're right Xiaomi's phones are cheap... and better specs all around. $200 Xiaomi's phone like Xiaomi Remi Note 4 can do just as good or better than $500 Sony's phones.

                      The drop test will put bezelless and smaller bezel in shame!

                        Bezels remain enormous on everything except the 6" device. No improvements at all for Sony in this regard in the last 4-5 years.

                        Very disappointing.

                          Anonymous, 28 Feb 2017I think you are just afraid of change. Sony is doing just fine.Market share results and Sony mobile divisions' financial reports say you're wrong.

                                  Another super expensive phones.
                                  For people in india where average daily salary is 0,70 eur this price is out of range.
                                  In my country most people earn up to 500 a month no more. So its super expensive.
                                  We will see what Oneplus will create but if we compare specs and price no matter how these companies like apple sony samsung huawei and so wil try they still be far behind.

                                    for sony xperia xzs/zx premium, you get ps4 remote play/controler support, qnovo battery technology, ldac high ( est) bitrate audiophile grade wireless 980 kps, 960 fps slow motion camera, that lovely special metal alloy alkaleido, digital noise cancellation (for games, music, video - requires special earphones - mdr-nc750

                                    for lg g6, dolby vision certified screen, aptx hd (at 580 kps), dual dac audiophile quality audio (not as good as onkyo granbeat though or other digital audio players) which is good, twin camera, small bezels

Like you said 820, 1080p and 3200 mAh for $700+ in 2017 is outrageous.
