I don't like wireless ones, as i don't like the additional hurdle of charging the headphones along with the smartphone. That is also the reason why i dislike smartwatches.
There's also the fact that wireless audio isn't quite as good as wired, even today. It probably won't change until there's a major leap in Bluetooth technology & it's data transfer speeds...

Coming back to the point, the 3.5mm jack is in demand by the majority of users, so it makes no sense to ditch it. Huawei got rid of the 3.5mm jack on the P20 series, but is bringing it back for the Mate 20 series. Sony could do the same too, if they want to that is.

This is likely to be fake. 1st, the screen is taller than 2:1 (18:9 if you wanna refer to it as that), second, Sony moved the fp sensor to the back because of the US implementation, so having it again on the side will result in it being disabled in the US again, maybe? That would be a bad move, but hopefully the side fp sensor will work in the US, and be brought to flagships. Third, the camera button placement. Okay, so the volume rockers are below the fp sensor, but the camera shutter button is above it, meaning you will have to press it with your left hand, and reaching it with your left hand will likely result in one (or both) camera(s) to be covered while pressing it.
I hope everything is legit (except for the super tall screen and the camera button placement)

marko97sx, 02 Oct 2018You're asking for like, very premium cameras in a midrange ... moreImx586 cannot record 960fps. No DRAM inside the sensor.
I even thought it was made for Apple when Sony announced the sensor.
XA2 has same imx300 used by Z5 and XZ.
So the imx400 is high probability.

Shen G, 02 Oct 201818:9?? Seriously?
That actually looks higher than 19:9Tried measuring with a digital ruler, it's approximately 9:4 (or 18:8).
By far, this is the MOST unique screen ratio I've ever seen....

If you don't care about bokeh, you paid for nothing..
We don't know if this device has Ultra wide or monochrome + Aube.
XA2 Ultra has dual selfie. The successor of XZ3 will have it as well.
Samples of Xz2 are better than Xs Max...

I preferred the rear fingerprint scanner and the back looks kinda weird with that bumpy camera unit :(

And something like 3500 mAh.

Samsung S9 doesn't have a dual camera, just the +, and just like the XZ2 Premium, iPhone XR doesn't have one, but the more premium flagships have, you don't need two cameras when the XZ3's is bloody amazing! Now that they're gonna put it on the midrangers, we can expect on the flagships also!

Sony doesn't have a broad user base, no brainwashed following. Making a sub-par phone without that means they'll never get that... :)

Sony always late to the game. Everyone using dual camera and they still use single camera. Now everyone going triple or more camera and they are just starting to embrace the dual cameras.
