Someone Else, 30 Aug 2018Nope. You're wrong. Sony use the exact same camera sensors ... moreThen , what's the point of bringing brighter aperture from F1/2.0 to F1/1.8 LOL XD ?

Finally Sony made a smartphone with an OLED display, god it's been ages, and it's finally time to say goodbye to IPS LCD. Not saying that their IPS LCD displays were bad but, OLED is pretty much better. Well, it seems like I may have finally found myself the true upgrade for my daily driver, but I'll probably wait till next year when brands unveil 5G smartphones, maybe more design improvements will be made. But for the Side Sense, I'm kind of concerned with the durability...

Someone Else, 30 Aug 2018Nope. You're wrong. Sony use the exact same camera sensors ... moreYou are right. XZ3 is more like the 'XZ2 Pro' or 'XZ2 Plus'.
Bascially the same specs, except for these:
1) XZ3: slightly bigger OLED display.
2) 13MP front-facing selfie camera (XZ2 was 5MP)
3) Android 'Pie' 9.0 preinstalled.
4) Slightly bigger battery (3.3k mAh vs 3.1k mAh)
5) That 'Infinity Edge' curved glass display copied from Samsung
Everything else is the same.
If you really want to get a Sony phone, I think the XZ2 is much cheaper now and thus better value for money. But it's your choice.

"19 MP, f/2.0, 25mm, 1/2.3", 1.22µm, predictive PDAF & laser AF"

Kiyasuriin, 30 Aug 2018Nay, didn't return. T_TThe only 3 phones i can accept without headphone jack-
1. Iphone X... because the oled display is folded to reduce bezels
2. Oppo Find X... because there's no space to put it (top is moving, bottom is full)
3. Nokia 8 Sirocco... because it's dimensions are too compact (140.9*73*7.5)!
All others are thoughtless gimmicks!

Horrible fingerprint scanner location
It looks like we're stuck with this dysfunctional design for many years to come, just like we were with the last design

Someone Else, 30 Aug 2018Nope. You're wrong. Sony use the exact same camera sensors ... moreI think the only hardware improvement was the larger , brighter aperture , from just okay F2.0 to much brighter , acceptable F1.8 . Other things such as DRAM , memory-embedded capacity , module , etc. are the same . Sorry if that misconducting LOL .

Anon.D, 30 Aug 2018Sony fans before Xperia had OLED: LCD da best it stands thr... moreSo true.
Btw, there's very little improvement on the XZ3 compared to the XZ2. The XZ3 is literally an XZ2 with a different display. It have the same RAM, same storage, same camera, same design, and the same chipset! I mean, what's the point of releasing a new smartphone that have the same chipset as its predecessor??

If you must have the headphone jack, buy a Chinese phone or a Samsung phone.

This is Sony answer to thick bezel. Well, it is thinner but the curved display though. Where your originality?

Anon.D, 30 Aug 2018Sony fans before Xperia had OLED: LCD da best it stands thr... moreFor me as a big Sony fan, I would say OLED is a nice addition to them but for the LCD is much better specially when some other smartphones will employ the miniLED backlight so yeah say what you want to say because I'm a sony fan and still saying the LCD is better
this OLED has 2K which means Sony didn't have to make the LCD 2K HAHAHAHHAHAH

I think this was a "finally" moment for me coming to Sony Xperia phones. Ive had sony/Sony Ericssons phones only and this one makes me have a "want" feeling and really has t happened for a long time.
Currently i own the Xperia X Performance so this will be a big upgrade for me.
To those that are unsatisfied with the announcement, i tell you this: no phone maker will probably ever cater to everyone needs, that is a fact. Some will always love iPhones no matter what, some Samsungs and some the smaller chinese brands. Whatever reasons consumers will like those brands is all due to personal preference. No brand will be superior the other but thats just my opinion :)
