        RaghavaZ, 03 Mar 2017Are those stereo speakers loudest of them all? Are you goin... moreI like the design overall with the speakers.

          consumersmartphone, 03 Mar 2017XZ best selling flagship of Q4 2016, sold 1.5m units. Congr... moreSony's fans come second to Apple's in brand loyalty and in blindly following whatever their brand prescribes. And all of them are die hard haters of Samsung. Whoever says anything against Sony will be automatically labelled as Samsung's fanboys. I am sure at the end of this year someother phone will be adjudged phone of the year and will have to see what these guys tell then.

              AnonD-292154, 03 Mar 2017Those bezels are stereo speakers!!! No go to sleep .Are those stereo speakers loudest of them all? Are you going to use them alone to drive a party? You are boasting off those speakers as if they are as powerful as a music system! These awards are based on general performance, screen quality and camera quality, and not because Sony had put stereo speaker in their phones. Many will base their purchase on the above said three things. Stereo speakers are just an add-ons. Nothing to boast about the quality of those small speakers.

                OP and Xiaomi flagship didnt even sell half of XZ. Agree, that fact. But how many phone Sony sell whole year 2016? Compare with all Xiaomi sold.

                s8 nothing new. LOL this kid is blind or samsung die hard hater.

                xiaomi and OP software degrades(camera included) not to mention poor camera performance. "software degrades" really? how did you know that? My experience as tester that Xiaomi and Sony is the most optimized in Nougat for now, Samsung suck! "poor camera performance" compare with phone with same range please!

                "iphone 8 will be XZ Premium rival this year" lets see which phone is win best phone oh the 2017. BTW iPhone > Xperia, Fan and also number of sold. FACT!

                      Sony is on another level. I wouldn't compare to Korean or Chinese phones. People shouldn't look at small details like the bezels,,,,they should look at the whole package, experience, solid built, great Ui....

I've had a Oneplus One and Oneplus X for over a year and they are fine even now. I still use my Oneplus X as a secondary after getting the Pixel cause it's still great. Not all Chinese phones are bad.
