Also, I have Xperia XZ Premium and being a premium phone it still lacks
1. Double tap to wake
2. Always on display (XZ3 will also skip on this)
3. Nightlight
4. Ability to play audio on 2 Bluetooth devices
5. Secure folder
6. No iris scanner
Ask a Sony fan and they will say if you need night light just turn the screen on while the phone is charging at night :D shows they actually don't know anything but are only pro at trolling.

AnonD-558092, 03 Sep 2018Where I live, the XZ3 is priced at S9+ 256GB price. And yet... moreSane people would go with samsung when comparing similarly priced phones. Samsung has every feature sony has and more while being better at eveything.
Luckily there are still some sony fans out there because nobody else is buying sony phones after being let down by lackluster software updates.
I would not mind the weak support for each device if the price reflected that but since the flagship sonys are closer 1000 euros than 500 euros this level of support is not enough. The phone is very expensive and yet the life of the device is very limited unlike with many other manufacturers who keep supporting phones much longer than sony.

Blind fanboys saying fake stuff again. Samsung doesn't even make OLED TVs seriously. They have QLED and HDR10 (HDR-10+ with SW update coming to supported models soon), which is OLED without the disadvantages of increased risk of burn-in and accelerated degradation of screen (no organic parts). Blacks arent perfect but very very close. Anyways you are wrong.
Plus XZ3 OLED is not BRAVIA. It's LG P-OLED.

wooty, 02 Sep 2018Lol you're comparing a junk with Apple? Apple provides 4 to... moreUm, b*tch please?
Apple's 4 to 5 year software support guarantees nothing but slowing down of the device. Look at the iPhone 4s on iOS 9 and compare its speed to the Xperia Z on Android 5.0 Lollipop.
And what's funny is that your latest iOS 12 barely has 60% of what Android phones can do. I'm glad you're not yet bored of the same old cr*p-looking interface for years, but I am, and many of us already are.
Speaking of which, the Xperia Z5 got upgraded from Lollipop to Marshmallow and all the way to Nougat before the support has stopped, which is just about right for an Android flagship.
Android 8.0 and 8.1 barely has a difference enough to encourage users to upgrade. They should wait for Android 9 instead, which the XZ Premium, XZ1 family, XA2 family, and XZ2 family are going to receive.
Sony also does provide monthly security updates for their phones. Their XZ and XZs just got the August 2018 patch level.
And the matter of fact that the XZ3 launches with Android 9 Pie straight out of the box just proves how incorrect are you at almost everything.

The tv OLED de 10 bits rec 2020 They are expensive than obsolete 8-bit TVs amoled poor in subpixels and sdr.
the 4k HDR video cameras are more expensive than the 4k sdr.
the xz3 comes out cheap even.
You get a Bravia master Oled 10 bits rec 2020 and a 4k HDR camera for only 799 euros Surely you can get for less and with a headset or PS4 as a gift

Fayth, 02 Sep 2018if Apple can sell $1000, why Sony can't ?Lol you're comparing a junk with Apple? Apple provides 4 to 5 years support (updates) to their respective flagships, Sony? Less than 2 years I can guarantee. Look at XZ Series, these poor flaghips (with exaggerate flagship prices) are not even running Android 8.1. Secondly, other than providing a punctual monthly security patch to their flagships, apparently Sony doesn't provide any new features for their flagships. Not even a simple clock widget or better yet a wallpaper! So who is drawing a bigger picture here?
