- 1,5 y.o Z5 can take better pics than iphone

- My phone has 3gb ram, I can open 50 apps and there is still ram available. No app has ever reloaded, not even Real Racing 3... G6 has 4gb, s8 has 4gb..

- S8+ has 172k on antutu, XZP scores 181k

- XZ Premium is not going to bend in your pocket nor show gray stripe on display

- Iphone has poor sound and front speakers are way better

- iphone has low ppi display , even compared to other full hd 5,5 in .

- When you have Z5P or XZP you o not need a tv to watch 4K content.

Go to youtube and search Clove Technology. Hands-on XZ Premium.. Start at 9:12 , he plays a video on s7 and XZ Premium. XZP humiliates s7 display...


People in my country buy iphone because they think it is fancy, not because what it may offer..

Here you can pay 6000USD for a macbook that is not able to run games or pay half for a Dell powered by a I7 seventh generation + 4K display + 64gb ram + 13 hours of battery

    Performance and camera and screen are not matters of preferable. Nobody would really like a dead slow phone with crooked lenses and hardly recognizable lettering on screen. Everything apart from the design language, about a phone, is a hard fact. You merely have to choose what is best anyway... people f*ck up only out of ignorance.

      What a terrible tragedy is it if you have strived so much for embellishments yet your fundamentals are so lacking. Like putting a lipstick to a pig.

      Also what's with Sony in irrelevant threads? Are you people paid to make those posts? If so, it's my duty to strike down the marketers' fantasies.

      Sony's perceived superiority comes from things like 4k (nobody can see the difference), phone speakers (they're still tinky,try headphones if you want high quality), Bluetooth numbering (no device suports it and even if it did it's the smallest upgrade ever), camera (not better than other flagsh's actually, or rather better at one thing worse at another)... etc

      Yet insist on putting low ram (low caching = much more reloading) , low battery (Sony at this juncture posts the worse battery than any company) and giant bezels (easily the most uncomfortable to hold/carry despite their relatively small screens).

      I advice Sony to pay less in marketing and design an actually good phone. Specs matter don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Skimp on them to your detriment.

        What happened to personal preference? I thought we were free to choose the phones we liked.

        Why are people still imposing their PERSONAL PREFERENCES on others?

          I'd rather pay 850 for XZ Premium.

          - Better screen
          - Better audio
          - Better photos
          - Better videos
          - Better design (iphone looks cheaper)
          - Dual
          - Front speakers
          - Higher IP rating (z3 has ip68, i7 has ip67)
          - Fast charge
          - Nfc
          - Bluetooth 5.0

            This year only two flagship phones that are worth looking for-galaxy S8 and iphone 8. I will choose between these two for my next phone if next oneplus is not good enough. I must say others are piece of junk.

                Also Apple is the only to consistently murder any android soc in performance. Same with background app caching. You rarely have to reload on iPhones.

                It's top quality, and top quality should be paid dearly. Laggy, last year's performance on the other hand...

                    AnonD-483897, 05 Apr 2017Recent rumor says no edge display for iPhone 8.Very recent article from gsma read "Apple bought 70 million curved OLED displays from Samsung". So there is an edge/curved screen iPhone.

                        Makes sense given that unlike Samsung it would actually have top hardware ... it makes sense to price it highly (actually it's still less than S8+)

                        Probably a twice as good SoC, much more Ram for background app caching, probably a better screen since they break into amoled too. Most certainly better battery too.

                        It's fun that Samsung would henceforth be refered as the unjustifiably expensive brand. It already started in tablets where Samsung priced their inferior tab (worse soc, probably half the battery life, less than half tablet app selection) almost twice over Apple's

                                        Anyone could have predicted the iPhone 7 prices. Apple prices are the same and havent changes. New models only have new prices
