Sony Xperia XZ3 unveiled: Big, curved OLED display!

30 August 2018
The latest Xperia flagship brings a rather radical design change to the Sony lineup.

guv94, 30 Aug 2018It was expected not to have the 48MP sensor unlike all the ... moreWho really cares about some slow-mo gimmicks, 48mp massive sensor would made big difference

    Everything to late and disappointing. No 48mp camera. Selling point is OLED while all other major companies selling phones with oled for years. Plus really shitty design, with all those rounded edges, looks like a soup bar. One rubbish single camera :( and as usual IPhonish price guaranteed. No good Sony, not at all.

          IronTed, 02 Sep 2018If you're someone who doesn't scoff at the Galaxy Note 9's ... moreThe note 9 may cost more, but offers far in return for it in many aspects from device, hardware, software, accessories, functions/versatility, etc. Even down to costing more in most aspects from r & d, marketing, to customer service.

          Therefore making the xz2p and xz3 more over priced in worth.

          And that's saying either the xz2p or xz3 are bad. Clearly they are great.
          Just that factually it offers less in aspects for the money even as far as accessories and customer service. Not just the devices. You should be able to objectively see that. It just costs so much more than other devices with no reason to justify.
          Not that any of these phones should cost that much unfortunately.

            If you're someone who doesn't scoff at the Galaxy Note 9's $1000 price tag, I'm not sure how you can look at the Xperia XZ3 and not think it's at least worth considering at $900.

              Anonymous, 01 Sep 2018Hard to say, but dedicate camera button is very nice! Even ... moreI too like the dedicated camera button. It's just that it is even more silly to remove the 3.5 mm jack.

              BTW, I have headphone with the 6.3 mm plug too, that I connect to the keyboard and some sound mixers. But thankfully, they are detachable and I can use the 3.5 mm jack to connect to phones. As a audiophile, sometimes I also listen to FLAC and use 5.1 channel for home theatre. Also since FLAC is not possible everywhere, I use 320kbps MP3.

                  AnonD-632062, 31 Aug 2018Hmm. So all the people who bashed OLED all those years ago,... moreHard to say, but dedicate camera button is very nice! Even essential to good camera phone!
                  So credit to that, but I agree that 3.5mm plug should belong to phones Many years to come... IMHO. I know that it is old technology, but still most best headphones Are made for that or 6.3mm plug and I want to use best headphones when listening music!
                  I use flac for my music files for the quality instead of mp3 even it takes Many times more space to store. I know that backround noise will dimish the difference, but when there is silent I want to have the best sound quality! And that means 6,3mm plug or 3.5mm plug in most cases! There Are some good +1000$ headphones that use bluetooth but the selecting is still quite slim... so there is still plase for physical connectors.

                    SNA1970, 01 Sep 2018The port was removed to save space . and anyways they gi... moreNo the port was removed to push people toward Bluetooth. I have a Z2 Play, one of the thinnest phones in existence and it included a headphone jack. Other notchless phones have been able to figure it out. Other companies are being lazy and want to profit off wireless solutions. It's all a cash grab.

                    Also, that dongle is garbage. Razer's dongle sucks, Google's dongle sucks...we shouldn't be in 2018 needing dongles because OEMs thought about profits first at the expense of customers.

                      and anyways they give you the adapter why do you complain much?

                                    xXENDER FREAKXx, 31 Aug 2018U are basically repeating what he said. SteadyShot is Sony'... moreWhat you're saying doesn't make sense, the SteadyShot trademark is applied to both optical and electronic stabilization methods, as the link indicated, and with mostly no distinction between different generations.
                                    Therefore it's JUST STABILIZATION.
