Hey guys, we need something original!"
"I know! Let's take Samsung's curved screen design and pair it with the back of the HTC U11/U12+."
"Sounds great! But what about the bezels?"
"Don't make them as small as most other manufacturers do. We like them big and juicy, people like bigger phones with smaller screens!"
"Excellent! But what about our brand? People will be confused by the design. How do they know it's a Sony?"
"Easy! Let's slap SONY on the front of the device, so that people never forget what they bought!"
"Perfect! But what about additional features? Something really original!"
"Let's make the frame sensitive to squeezes, that's never been done before!"
"Brilliant. And what about RAM? 6GB is the new standard for flagships, some even go 8GB!"
"We'll do neither of that!"
"You're promoted!"

3D Memories, 30 Aug 2018Exactly, it's a clone of Samsung Galaxy S8 or S9. It's like... moreTo be fair it's a generic "phone with a curved display & no notch" design.

Why do they have to follow every single dumb trend...
First, fingerprint on the back, instead of the best location ever (on the side). After that, they made everything glass, instead of the actually durable aluminium/nylon combo. Then they came with the rounded back which makes it bounce all of the place. And now with the rounded corners and curved display.
Why do they get worse every day?
They had the best designs.
Flat, symetrical, simple, effective.

The biggest improvement of it , is actually the BIONZ and Spectra ISP image processing algorithms with Scene Recognition 2.0 , or in this case , AI on Xperia .

This article even states that "It consist of a familiar 19 MP, f/2.0, 25mm, 1/2.3", 1.22µm Motion Eye camera" which is the EXACT camera setup as the XZ2...

Luxor, 30 Aug 2018This is Sony answer to thick bezel. Well, it is thinner but... moreWell , for the least , the back still reminds me Xperia Neo / Neo V design era back in 2011 though (with Arc / Arc S curvature back) .

I like that Sony turned to OLED, and also the fact that XZ3 is thinner than XZ2 and XZ2 Premium. I'll wait for the full review, and if camera + battery life are also ok I might buy one.

AA, 30 Aug 2018You are right. XZ3 is more like the 'XZ2 Pro' or 'XZ2 Plus'... moreYep, I agree. Sony fans should just buy the XZ2. It doesn't have an OLED display, but you get almost everything from the XZ3 with (as you said) a cheaper price.

Anonymous, 30 Aug 2018The only 3 phones i can accept without headphone jack-
1. ... moreThe headphone jack, like the FM radio, is considered a 'poor man's feature', and omitted from the most expensive flagship phones (only Samsung resists this trend for now).
The cheaper phones usually have the headphone jack. Because nobody in a developing country e.g. India would buy your budget phone if it does not have it.
It's discrimination, plain and simple.
