    This is just wrong. I tried posting comments along with my video refuting GSM Arena's claims and they did not approve the vid. I was not rude or disrespectful in my comments, I simply asked why my XZ Premium exposes faces perfect with bright sunlight in the window behind me, and theirs does not.

    That's not fair at all and it winds up skewing peoples opinions on devices and their capabilities.

        My XZ Premium handles bright backgrounds just fine when taking selfie videos. Sorry GSM Arena, there's something wrong with your test

          higher price, same unresolved camera problem every year, same user interface every year.
          and all of xperia phones look the same, no special differences in design between regular phones and the flagships.

Nothing to shout about it but its camera is several levels below them. My galaxy S4 takes better pictures at night than XZ premium. Try yourself if you don't trust me.

                            Sony Camera Software has always been bad, my Xperia M4 Aqua would probably take good photos if it used something different, but how it is, it is worse than the iPhone4s. Same goes for overall responsiveness, there is a huge lag and delay for the simplest things, web browsing is almost unbearable on it.

                                Why? Because selfies are for insecure facebook sheeple.
                                I wish I could remove the selfish camera from my XZP..

                                      Quality of Sony phones is very very higher than Samsung and other android smartphone . I mean durable smartphone. I am using Sony xperia z1 since 2014. Still now look new.just same time my brothers bought iPhone 5s, Samsung s4 and both are dead now.
                                      Durable smartphone means Sony smartphone
                                      Feature smartphone means Samsung (quality Chinese) .
                                      I watched many video on YouTube in XZ premium.
                                      Its is the fastest phone in the world right now .
