AnonD-639496, 17 Apr 2017"Well, I prefer HDR over non-HDR screen."
- the Galaxy S8 ... more"the Galaxy S8 supports HDR. And it's the first phone that will have HDR content become available. It is also rated as the best display. Display mate said that the colour accuracy of the Galaxy S8's display is unrival. I prefer sAMOLED over LCD"
-1. S8 has HDR on software, XZ Premium has it on hardware.
2. Sony has worked with Amazon Prime and Netflix for more HDR contents, and they will probably be more 16:9 HDR contents than 18.5:9 HDR contents
3. DisplayMate only tests Samsung and Apple phones. How could we trust it without giving every single flagship phone a chance of being tested? Same for instance, everyone trusts DxOMark because they test almost all phones today.
4. Sure, sAMOLED is better than IPS LCD, but Sony used the inferior hardware better than Samsung the superior technology.
"Sony's Multiframe Processing camera' is a lot slower than the Galaxy S8 and Pixel's (which defeat the purpose for fast HDR photos). The XZ Premium is just standard HDR."
-Sony has been doing this ever since the Z2, even without toggling HDR Auto. It's already fast, but only goes slower because of the high mp count. But the DRAM on the XZs and XZ Premium help them take a hell lot faster HDR multiple frame photos.
"Again no. XZ Premium doesn't have smart auto-focus on its front cam. Stop spreading lies."
-Spreading lies? How about watch the video tests and find out that even the Xperia X and X Performance have AF on the front camera? Nothing is just telling it, but it's there. I never lied to my life, at least not yet nor I feel the need to.
"A high quality earphones have the same importance as a phone's audio quality. The Galaxy S8 WILL take advantage of the high quality AKG smartphone. After all, it is bundled together. Why wouldn't Samsung take advantage of their OWN AKG earphone for their OWN Galaxy S8?"
-1. Exactly, so why does the S8 don't have a dual front facing stereo speakers? High quality indeed, truly acceptable for a $800 flagship
2. Take advantage by what? Like the S8 has Hi-Res Audio, DSEE HX, ClearAudio+, etc.? For the past years, I never saw Samsung won an audio contest, and I don't see the S8 to change that
3. Then why not? What's the purpose of that high quality AKG headphones when the phone outputs a cheap $20 audio quality from the headphone jack? Totally useless.
"Why would I want bezel-less smartphone?
1. Bigger screen in a not so big footprint (this comes in many advantage)
2. Easier to hold
3. Can equally pack an awesome camera (bezels is not the issue here)
4. Looks more futuristic and modern
5. Are you seriously defending big bezels?"
-1. Then why not go full bezel less instead? I prefer some bezels with proper aspect ratio than small bezels with big screen but terrible aspect ratio.
2. That is the advantage of bezels, you can't take that same argument.
3. Can pack an equally great camera? Is it why LG dropped their image sensor from 1/2.6" to 1/3.06" and from 16mp to 13mp? And the front camera from 8mp to 5mp?
4. Futuristic? Funny, I don't need to look futuristic, I need to look normally perfect. Functionality > Looks any day.
5. Wtf is that statement? If you can't try to defend your argument, then no need to try. I'm not defending bezels, I only want to know why small bezels would change our lives. I'd go with it if small bezels can stop all natural disasters in the world.
"Why I don't want big bezels:
1. Bulky
2. Small screen in a big footprint
3. Outdated design
4. I can equally comfortably hold a bezelless smartphone like I hold a big bezel smartphone."
-1. S8+ isn't bulky, I get it
2. Then what? Get a compact phone instead
3. Oudated design yet tablets still have it
4. So you mean a small bezel phone is just as comfortablr as a big bezel phone? You don't make any sense. Stop trying if you just can't
"Are you stupid? The XZ Premium DOESN'T HAVE an IRIS SCANNER!! It's NOT fine to not include a FPS in the US. The iris scanner is more secure anyway , so..."
-First, I'm definitely NOT stupid. I am using my brain and common logic to what we're talking about here. Second, I don't care about Iris Scanner if it'll just be useless when I have shades. Third, you said you'll use iris scanner more than fingerprint scanner, so by that means, you no longer need a fingerprint scanner, which means it'll be fine for you to not have it. What's the problem with it? Last, acuse US System for not allowing Sony to enable fingerprint scanner in that country. Sony can't do anything to bypass it
Enough?

HTC U Ultra 1% vote. Yet they still dont see what is wrong with their flagship. No need fancy sapphire crystal to make a good phone. Learn from rival!!

AKG smartphone? Never heard of it. But what I mean is that the AKG headphones will be of no use when the phone doesn't make full use of it. Sony even with standard high quality earphones, offers Hi-Res audio, LDAC, DSEE HX, ClearAudio+, and so many sound enhancement settings to use the earphones with. Result? Top class audio

AnonD-639496, 17 Apr 2017You speak like a true fanboy. :)
I would rather have a 3k ... more"I would rather have a 3k sAMOLED display than a 4k LCD"
-Well, I prefer HDR over non-HDR screen. Samsung screen looks nice, 'til you see the reds turn orange. Yes, I have seen this on the S7 Edge already - it was on Basic Mode and YouTube red is definitely orange compared to the XZ's true red.
"I would rather have a Multiframe Processing camera than a 960 FPS slow mo camera. "
-How about both? Yep, Sony has been doing that same process for years even before Google had it. Google is open free to know it
"I would rather have a smart autofocus front cam than a high megapixel front cam. "
-Again, why not both? If you open your brain up and look at the XZ's specs, autofocus is found on the front camera too. Where can you find a 13mp AF front camera on a flagship? Even Samsung is left behind at 8mp AF front camera.
" I would rather have the more useful high quality AKG earphones - that included in the box - than a front facing speaker."
-And what software would take use of that? I prefer Hi-Res Audio, DSEE HX, ClearAudio+, and S-Force Stereo Surround on a good flagship quality headphones more than high quality headphones that the phone doesn't take the full advantage of. Besides, flagship is flagship, and by means of flagship is always high quality. A single mono crap speaker with terrible quality is very unacceptable for an $800 flagship.
"I would rather have a bezel-less phone than a big bezel phone"
-Simply because of what?
Aesthetic?
Then I'll name the reasons why I need bezels:
A. More protection to screen
B. More comfortable to hold
C. Can pack the excellent large camera sensors and stereo speakers
D. No accidental touch on the screen when holding the phone
"I would rather use the more secure iris scanner than a fingerprint scanner."
-So I guess it's fine for Sony to not include a fingerprint scanner in the US models since you won't use it anyways, right?
I guess a user is finally convinced to not have a fingerprint scanner in the US versions. Thank goodness lol
"Lol. Sony's fanboy kill me. XD"
-Kill with true facts and lack of imperfections. XD
