      Let me explain my answer (There're other Sony's out there).

      The USP selling point of this phone was 720p @ 960 fps. But I wish to point out the shortcomings:-

      1. Why not 720p@ 480/240 fps for a longer duration than 0.18 seconds?
      2. Why not 1080p@480 fps for a limited duration?

      Or further, why not place a fast flash permanent memory exclusively for the camera so that recording more than 0.18 seconds is possible? Ok, I agree this is hardware matter, but the 1 & 2 require only software changes, right?

      And why the aperture so dull and a pixel size so "common"? Don't they know high fps requires higher shutter speeds and eventually a lot of light?
      1/960th of a second is too high even for DSLR's.

      We all know Sony and how capable they are. And I would say, their next flagship should bring more solid options.... For now, they aren't even trying.

            What with the stupid options? 3 of the option pretty much saying 'I will get a Sony device no matter what'. The last one is the only one saying to get a different brand. Btw, is there a difference between getting the phone by preorder or after it launches?? Weirdest option ever.

                Going to pre-order it, finally a BEAST is going to be in the market.

                    Should i buy the s8+ or should i wait the sony
                    (Interms of specifications)
                    Or should i wait for 1+5
                    I have good feeling it's going to be great phone

                        those are royal flagship phones
                        But for normal 800$900$ phone is enough

                                    At current exchange rates for $815 US dollars I'm with the "I'm going with a different brand" crowd @ 35%.

                                      Sony phone was so ugly. I wondering why some minority people still want it, are they Sony die hard fans, or just because they are Japanese so they supporting own country brand phones?
