          These phones look great and hopefully the specs will back it up too, Sony can learn a thing or two from TCL.

            Say Unbiased Sony Fanboy: do you know any single fangirls? I am single, left handed, with no children looking for love. They don't actually have to be fangirl though.

              Meh, 18:9? No thanks. But if they keep 3.5mm jack intact ill think twice.

                $300? Upper mid-range at best. SD630 - SD660 or MTK P series.

                    Sony makes contents in 16:9 except movies that are in 21:9. They will obviously follow their own way because no one has even started adopting to 18:9 screens yet despite a year passed.

So, 18:9 is not to be adopted by Sony as of now. But, He really is overdoing his job as a fan of Sony. It's just a matter of time before Sony adopts it, so no point in arguing against it as a fan.

                      The 5 does look really good. 18:9 ratio is irrelevant.

                        Lot of words but no the real thing:
                        Where's the specs?!

                              These OEMs think they have fixed something when they basically just made another problem.

                              Reason why I like Sony's move for sticking to 16:9 is that there's nothing wrong with it.
                              Stick to what works, fix ONLY those that needs it.

                                        God these 18:9 screens suck. Someone was willing to trade his G6 for my S7. I tried. Almost threw up within an hour. Disgusting, useless and simply dumb.
