Mistake Sony! And why I still use your super original Xperia Tablet Z, that even today, shames others. Ultra thin. Very light. Stereo speakers. FM radio. NFC. Waterproof (and I have used it in the bath). Grippy rubbery case. No 33rd party case required. Pogo pins for awesome dock (that I have, so you can use it as a digital photo frame etc). And the lovely square design aesthetic.

And your pre curvey phones were lovely too. A nice design aesthetic that was different. now you are the same as the others and yet offer nothing more, not even a stylus. :(

    Lead2XL, 30 Aug 2018Sadly, phones are getting not only larger but heavier - 193... moreYeah, I also wish phones these days are small again. At least there's the Palm Pepito with a 3.3 inch screen that's coming soon. It's a small phone.

      SNA1970, 30 Aug 2018no one cares about your headphone jack it is time old he... moreSamsung and LG still do. The alternatives to the headphone jack are awful. All USB-C isn't created equally because of what OEMs do, hence the reason why USB-C headphones don't work. Bluetooth is on version 5 and is still wildly unreliable. Many industries (audio industry) still uses the port. Most DJ hardware still have the port. The port isn't outdated. The port was removed for increased profits. Plain and simple. They sold a lie about planned obsolescence because the alternatives are trash. This isn't like the floppy being replaced by the CD and other moves. This port has numerous modern uses.

        it take ages for sony to use something new for their smartphone display.. started from tft display, ips and now oled.. a long way sony... long wayyy.. now let us start guessing how many generation more for sony to upgrade their motion eye sensor.. maybe in xz5 premium.

          Beautiful but no 3.5mm jack is a deal breaker. I use bluetooth on the go but at home my regular headphones are a must. The brand known for audio has no jack and the brand known as a pioneer are copying Samsung's design language.

            PeterThePanda, 30 Aug 2018No XZ3 Compact? Really disappointed at Sony. I guess my nex... morePixel 3 non-XL should be your go-to already considering Sony uses a mid-ranged chipset usually on the compact while the Pixel 3 gets snapdragon 845. I'm afraid of that battery when it comes out but still...

              Thankfully no notch... thumbs up for that.

                  Finally up to speed in the display category... AND WITHOUT A NOTCH!!
                  But I fear the price

                    To buy or not to buy, that is the question...

                    My Xperia XZ still working properly. *sigh* Why are Sony products so durable...

                      Sadly, phones are getting not only larger but heavier - 193 grams. Soon they will all be over 200 grams. Hopefully, some OEMs will continue to make phones that are more one-handed friendly. I guess I was spoiled by the excellent Xiaomi Mi 5 of couple of years ago that was only 129 grams! The good old days!

                        This phone is just like a Samsung Galaxy S8/S9 with a curved display with no notch! Thank you Sony!

                          PeterThePanda, 30 Aug 2018No XZ3 Compact? Really disappointed at Sony. I guess my nex... moresony never release 2 compact a year

                            what i like about this phone is the OLED panel... but the curve i don't...

                            the new colors in RED, and GREEN... also all panels looks black in regard of what color the phone is!

                            the rest isn't much appealing!

                              Curved OLED screen...stopped reading right there....

                                No XZ3 Compact? Really disappointed at Sony. I guess my next phone will now be either the 2018 iPhone X or the smaller Pixel 3 once they arrive here.

                                  Thesis86, 30 Aug 2018Okay. So I wish they left this panel flat. I wish they had ... moreno one cares about your headphone jack

                                  it is time old head phone jacks to disappear
