      I'd love a Xperia Arc remake with bezel-less design, that would be hot and pretty unique.

      What keeps me from buying Sony phones is the lack of international availability right now, my last one was the Z3 and I loved it.

      For those saying 5.1~5.2 screen is too small, seriously... It's a phone and it's within a great size, the iPhone SE wouldn't be such a success if everyone would rather carry 6' phablets around. Sony has the XA1 Ultra and probably more to follow on the bigger size.

        The pic is XZs. XZ1 is indeed hot imo. They finally did their best. No cutbacks on materials or mics, louder speakers, good button placement, different and classy look. Only downside is the battery size, which gives good endurance anyway.

                It's hot, but not that hot. XZ1 Compact is hotter imo. Waiting for next Xperia flagship gen. Hopefully in 2018 they kick in with refreshed design and replace my Z5. We know you can, Sony!

                  Sony Xperia XZ1 needs smaller bezels and bigger battery - at lest 3500 mAh.

                        I love the omini balance design of Sony but I voted no because I feel it is overpriced.

                          Pricing issue is bigger but give it a month or so and it will be slightly cheaper than the xzp in many markets.

                                  5.2 for me just way too small, Sony bad quality control -most recently I heard many complains about wireless signal and display problems touch not registering correctly- and still somewhat prone to overheating, too expensive 750euro(!!!), most carrier refuses to carry it also you cannot buy directly from Sony in my country so GSM sources which very risky, small battery, small internal storage and mediocre Ram-->
                                  What I mean is if a phone costs above 700+ euro then I expect premium hardware and we arent getting that with this phone.

                                  Also xperia xz premium cost 650euro.. so really interesting pricing strategy. BTW also that phone many problem and most people regret it getting- very low volume speakers, display problems, software issues unfixed, extremely bad wifi signal etc

                                  I would stay away from Sony

                                    Sony has fantastic high end devices, but I would want an entry level device from Sony; Snapdragon 430 or 435, 12mp camera on both sides, 5 inch screen with at least 300 ppi, stock Android, FM radio, headphone jack, Sony equalizer(or MaxxAudio), expandable storage, and removable battery. I would buy instantly for $100.

                                    I forgot; XZ1 is hot.
