      Anonymous, 11 May 2017Image distortion happen on iphone 7 plus not XZ premium, be... morepeople dont realize the faster readout is overall better in everything because it actually means the phone can do somethings it wasnt able to before.

      people dont realize that sony focuses on practical quality meanwhile samsung tries to attract consumers via looks.

      People think the memory readout is just there for sure it actually makes a big difference on a lot of things.

        SC_Lee, 11 May 2017Still has the grainy effect when zoomed in, a signature of ... moreEvery smartphone capture grainy image, but the Sony latest sensor reduce more than competitors, because the IMX400 sensor detect more pixels more light more color signals. FYI the XZ Premium have 19MP is compare to 12MP iphone 7 plus, that means 7MP more details can capture, that's why the iphone 7 plus capture image washed out and lost more details.

              Apart for the super huge bezels, mainly, and secondary as the article stated, the big question mark is about the battery life. Having said that, the XZ Premium is an excellent top flagship phone, full of the best 2017 specs and even some innovations.

                Really great camera shots.
                Improvement in G lens and rgb sensor is showing here.

                  AnonD-368020, 10 May 2017As far as Sony is concerned you can closely predict gsmaren... moreAhah.... so right. :-).
                  They dont even have to write it.... its always the same tone.

                  Especially about the camera... first out all negatives, then conclude its overall good... for fans.
                  As opossed to some else.... first conclude its surprisingly excellent, then add the negatives only in post scriptum.
                  The wording effect difference on readers is mesmerizing.

                    I don't think many people will be definitive about their next phone until the Note 8 is announced.

                          Still has the grainy effect when zoomed in, a signature of Xperia camera's post processing.

I don't see any softens image on both, but iphone 7 plus can't capture the enough color especially when zoom in the image, it is quite pale.

                                Riptide, 10 May 2017Wow... those bezels. The screen-to-body ratio must be total... more68.4% which isn't as bad as the G5/G5 Plus

                                      If Sony had saved this for IFA like Z5 Premium, Note 8 could shadow it.

                                      Note 7 was really great before all those problems.

                                      Maybe there will be XZ1 and XZ1 Compact ... Both with imx400 and powered by 835.

                                      XZ1 with 5.2" Full HD and same 2900 mAh.
