I read on a japanese site something interesting.

The article had a screenshot of a post on some forum. According to the post XZ3 was supposed to be for 2019 with SD8150/855, but weak sales of XZ2 ( worst sales among all xperia since x1) made them rush it. Probably a xz2+ was going to be at IFA instead.

The post also says the new Xperia flagship will record 4K60 HDR and 6K videos. The were rumors that Sony might use a dedicated processor instead of relaying only on Qualcomm's Spectra which Sony helps Qualcomm to develop.

In my opinion next Premium is for MWC, I am sure they want to have first 4K oled before it's used on Note 10 and Mate 30 Pro.

    I would buy it if they brought back the 3.5mm headset jack.

      It must be hated first when Sony does it, and only love it after Samsung or Apple or Huawei or any popular brand starts to copy it

        They're one of the fastest when it comes to software updates, their cameras are easily in the top 5 (reviewers can be a-holes at times and try to make Sony look bad, but GSMArena Camera Comparison Tool Chart says otherwise), their audio peripherals are great (Android Oreo's LDAC codec is from Sony, and thanks to them, I have it on my Redmi 5 Plus as well), pretty much they're clearly very compelling as opposed to the barebone improvements that others could offer.
        I'd say Huawei still wins in the most exciting devices, but Sony is far more interesting this year than Samsung or Apple!
        Their dual front stereo speakers are very underrated; the one on the Pixels sound even worse!

        The worst yet, people criticize the great things on devices, and when OEMs remove them already, is only the time they'd miss it, and again, put the blame on them for removing those things. People are crazy b*tch*s, and if it wasn't for these stupid reviewers that put heavy pressure on Sony, I'm sure for now that we may still have the 3.5mm jack and an even better design than the XZ2 and XZ3.

          I think there will be even more integration between Sony divisions.

          I heard that since xz2 the camera department of Mobile was integrated to Alpha team. If you scale all pics to 12Mp like other brands do you will see how better xz2 is. Less compressed jpeg and less noise redeuction for more details.

          21:9 is almost the ratio used by movies. Looks like Sony Pictures is making great money. CALL ME BY YOUR NAME was a strong name for best movie last OSCAR AWARDS. And now Venom is success. They have Spiderman in the Spiderverse on the way.

          Many people use 21:9 monitors to play games.

            At least there are 21:9 ratio contents around. I'm yet to find a content that's optimized for screens with a horrible notch.

                    The TV content is recorded 16:9.

                    The 18:9 and 19:9 are the ones without any explanation. No camera (except the own phones ) can record these ratios.

                      Why do these manufacturers keep coming out with stupid screen ratios? At this point we will have useless phones that have the profile of a candy bar.

                        Big fan of Sony but this is boring! They are literally giving Apple and Samsung the power... What ever happened to Sonyericsson days.

                              It seems to be another piece of trash that again does not have a headphone jack.

                                Good move from Sony, but still the phone looks like Htc u12 wish if Sony removed a bit of forhead and all the chin.

                                  Now it's getting harder to find a phone with 18:9 screen :(. LG eventually will relaunch the Chocolate phone with 21:9 screen ^o^

                                      This device looks okay, there's something off about the side mounted fingerprint scanner though imo. I'm definitely hoping it's a premium btw, a 6.5" 4K HDR OLED display would be amazing. They could actually get it right with this one (unless they slam a SONY logo on the chin like on the XZ2/3, go minimalistic all the way please).

                                        Very nice design. Good job Sony
