Shui8, 05 Jul 2018As ex Sony user, this bad camera algorithm plague for a lon... moreSony has to pay for it to get tested. Knowing thr Huawei iPhone x and Pixel 2 will wipe thr floor with it wnd everyone will know the facts, they've let it get delayed to grt sales in.

    9xx6, 05 Jul 2018Stop making excuse. You see your fav brand has a bad score.... moreI am not nitpicking on Dxomark, I just want them to seriously include the front camera score because it also a camera and help people take selfie without rush or hesitation. Dxomark include the zoom and bokeh scores, how many people zoom and how many people take bokeh photos?! More people take selfie when alone or with friends and family and post to social groups but why Dxomark don't include the front camera score but include zoom and bokeh when iPhone lead the change, too bias! Front camera can also take FHD videos, AR photos, video call, and some advanced smartphone can take 3D images scanning which is more advanced than before.

      Lol.
      DxO is DxO.

        [deleted post]I'm begging you to get your facts right first before commenting.
        https://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/qualcomm-snapdragon-845/
        Scroll down and read the part which says "Samsung and Qualcomm partnered to manufacture the Snapdragon 835"and "Qualcomm and Samsung said Samsung Foundry would once again manufacture the Snapdragon 845"
        So please educate yourself first before anything else.

          As ex Sony user, this bad camera algorithm plague for a long time already, but many loyalist still defend it because dont want to try and switch to other brand to believe it.

          But not with XZ2. Starting XZ2, camera is among top performer right now....but i wonder why DxO still not review it as almost all flagship branded got reviewed already....that is indeed sounds fishy.

            [deleted post]Get your facts right before commenting and bashing someone, your beloved Xperia has a brain (processor) which is manufactured by Samsung. Both the snapdragon 835 and 845 are being manufactured by Samsung. Go look it up. Not only that, android central says "The Snapdragon 845 is, like the 835, a 64-bit octa-core chip built on Samsung's 10nm process."
            So please do your research before commenting.
            Now feel free to accuse android central of being a Samsung fan lol

              Anonymous, 05 Jul 2018Nope, rather stick to Apple Samsung or Pixels. Tried a coup... moreYeah better to keep using reputable brands like samsung or apple.
              My point is.. once xiaomi/huawei enter a country, it will eat most of xperia users. It already happens in asia.

                [deleted post]lol. I love all of his comments.
                He is the funniest gsma commenter, especially when he argue with someone else.
                I enjoy reading all of his comments.. enough to make me laugh. LOL

                  Who trust DxO nowadays? We should stop paying attention to DxO. It makes them look trustworthy.

                    Stondec100, 05 Jul 2018I disagree. It deserves a score of 15 at best. I disagree too! Its 2018 and I would give a score of 5 to its camera. If it was 2012-13 then 75 is okay.

                      No XZ2 review at DxOMark... not even a review of a pre-production unit of the XZ2 Premium... a light-paced review of the XA2 Ultra... released on July... yeah; no surprise on that untrusty site -

                        Predictive memorys, 05 Jul 2018You don't understand why Dxomark don't include the front ca... moreSpoken like a proper fanboy! stop defending a phone with an average camera and stop misleading people with your comments, I have read the review of gsm arena and the front camera is BAD! all pictures are blurry and out of focus. Now you will accuse me of being a Samsung/iPhone fan so typical of you.

                          I disagree. It deserves a score of 15 at best.

                            [deleted post]Nope, rather stick to Apple Samsung or Pixels. Tried a couple OnePlus, Xiaomi and the p20 pro. They are not in the same league as Apple Samsung or Pixels.

                              [deleted post]Yes, I hear Sony is already shutting down operations in Africa, Turkey and Middle East. I bet you soon they will close down their mobile division.

                                      "An impressive selfie setup which fails to make a great impression"
                                      and
                                      "Unfortunately, the selfie image quality turned out subpar no matter which camera we used. There is below average detail, the photos are soft and look out of focus even when the 16MP snapper does come with AF."

                                      Now you will say, ohhh look a Samsung fanboy or gsma is paid by Samsung and iphone lmao. Accept the truth the camera on XA2 Ultra is average at best. The only Sony phone to come with a good camera is the XZ2 but the design is meh and no jack.

                                        Why Dxomark don't include the selfie score? And night selfie score too! Front camera isn't camera?? Please explain to me.
