16 April 2017
Launching two flagships so close together may prove to be a bad strategy.

Anonymous, 16 Apr 2017But why cannot squeeze in top 10 omes in sales?And... Most sony users change their phones every 2-3 years, why?? Because sony smartphones are capable to serve you perfectly for 3 years, same goes for apple.

    AnonD-510098, 16 Apr 2017Yeah, Sony can only blame their selves for the mess they're inWhat mess?? You absolutely wanted to mention Samsung instead of sony.

      AnonD-39937, 16 Apr 2017To correct GSMArena: XZs is not a flagship, it's just an hi... moreYep. Flagship is suppose to be the best of what a company can offer. The XZ Premium is Sony's flagship. The XZs is not.

      So in a way, the LG G6 is LG's flagship.

        I can say the same about Sony. Have you ever see the comment section in a Samsung/Apple article before?

            Joselius, 16 Apr 2017As for Xperia XZ Premium, if you announce a phone with spec... morebig bezels massive bezels. From when big = bad ? I got big car, i got big tv, I got big dick .You understand big not means bad, okay if you are girl i can understand(cause it hearts...) that Sony is not for you. Its a men phone and not unisex/girly like Samsung is.But if you a men this phone is extremely right i cant say any other mobile witch looks more elegant
            than XZ premium.

                960fps is nonsense in real life
                Dual stereo speakers and low sound grade
                Bluetooth v5.0 what's new in 5!? High quality in sound or videos stream!? Nothing barring added distance at 15m to about 50m
                Hi-res audio!? Is that new?? Common man! Wake up! Hahahaha

                  So many screwers here are hating Sony. What has Samsung and Apple hype ever done to the brains of these people? Seriously?!

                  You are talking nonsense without even trying to use the product. I did. The XZ exceeded my expectation, especially in the camera when compared to the S7 Edge. Please stop being biased and use the phone first, gain knowledge, then talk

                    Joselius, 16 Apr 2017No. It is a flagship. It even said so in Gsmarena review of XZs. U believe GSMArena more than Sony? Sony never advertised this phone as a flagship. But you assumed it to be, making me confused if what you're saying is really reliable and trustworthy. XZ Premium is the true flagship phone of Sony in Q1 2017. XZs is nearly a flagship, but not a true one, yet can destroy the flagships like i7+, G6, U Ultra, etc.

                      you cant put 1 years old chip inside and say i am the best, it will be fan-boyish
                      Sonys XZs for me is useless phone no visual up great from xz is so stupid chose .Its like buy XZ for double money.
                      can wait to get my hands on premium

                        As for Xperia XZ Premium, if you announce a phone with specs and capabilities from the distant future and then actually release it in the distant future, then you are not fulfilling a specific purpose or need, and not innovating on time. It have hardware capabilities from the future while keeping its massive bezels intact like its 2013. All of this effort is lost with Sony horribly impractical device, which isnt even available for people to purchase. And when its released, have you seen how Sony prices its phones.

                        Four months from announcement date, when Sony tries to reheat the hype for this phone, a few diehard loyalists will spend too much for it, and they will be disappointed by it. They will realized there are more option in 3Q 2017. XZ Premium is like a museum piece from the future. We were amazed by it. It was Sony innovation when it was still happening(earlier this year) in the mobile space but we cant say the same when it arrived for sale by June.

                                    But they should understand that that "loyal" fan base is shrinking. Fans become due to some serious work, and if you are constantly doing half as+ed work, you'll lose them, and worst still, u never make new fans. My cousin used to be a big fan of Sony, he bought almost last laptops from Vaio. But his last phone was z3, later, he bought Mi5 for less than half the price for what he had bought z3 a year and a half ago, and he says his Mi5 camera has less noise than z3. now he's either going to Mi6, if it has waterproofing, and if it doesn't, then only he'll go to oneplus way. If both prove to lack waterproofing, only then he'll go XZP.
