Sony Xperia XZ4 screen protector reconfirms extra tall display

31 December 2018
The 21:9 rumor is getting more and more solid.

Sort by:

Mr Magma, 31 Dec 2018Agreed. 18:9 or 18.5:9 were the best infinity /full display... more21:9 is cinematic standard, don't you?
I would rather back to 16:9 than those extraordinary ratio.

    Shanti Dope, 31 Dec 2018The XZ3 already has some pretty asymmetrical bezel size. F... moreThat's XZ3 is symmetrical, learn your Etymology.

      Finally we could move back onto media consumption standard, Either 3:2, 16:9, 16:10, or 21:9.

      Geez, those unstandardized screen ratio (18:9, 19:9, 19.5:9, etc) are such a cancer.

        Here's hoping.

            VKhon, 31 Dec 2018If they can make bezels small on this phone (and on the rum... moreBecause the compact is small and has some limitations.
            That is why it wont be 21:9 like the xz4.

            XZ2c did not even have space for the useless DVS. XZ4c wont have monochrome/aube, just single cam with imx664.

            It also has front speakers, something XZ4 sadly does not have.

              Vertical Samsung logo on the back will certainly look nice there.

                  If they can make bezels small on this phone (and on the rumoured XA3 Ultra), why on earth the Compact version has such enormous ones.

                    xXENDER FREAKXx, 31 Dec 2018Well it seems like Sony's hopping into the world of asymmet... moreThe XZ3 already has some pretty asymmetrical bezel size.
                    Funny enough, this XZ4 appears to have about as small chin as the iPhone XS's (side bezels are thinner than most phones, similar to XA series side bezels).

                      vrvly, 31 Dec 2018Wonder if they will set 21:9 as default for recording and s... moreI doubt it will, given the fact that 16:9 is still a worldwide standard. Plus, maybe that video is shared among other smartphones with different aspect ratios, it's going to be a problem

                        No dual speakers?

                            Anonymous, 31 Dec 2018"There’s no 3.5 mm audio jack, but that’s hardly a surprise... moreAgreed. 18:9 or 18.5:9 were the best infinity /full display aspect ratio. That's why I really like the v30, s8 and xz3 overall design. New phones that are coming with even less bezels and 19.5:9 aspect ratio are also good to me, because it keeps the same footprint. But this possible 21:9 is a joke. 99% of videos are still 16:9. I'm not hating, I'm won't buy it and move on, but I find it really useless.

                              No notch, no edge screen, take my money already

                                The hole on the bottom could be the 3.5mm headphone jack.

                                  Wonder if they will set 21:9 as default for recording and stills, shooting 4:3, similar to what I seen on 18:9 phones, whats the point of wide screen everywhere while shooting and viewing in prehistoric ratio.
                                  Hopefully they move status and notifications to the bottom, imagine otherwise.
                                  And do not forget camera launch and shooting in horizontal position, though their option to launch by holding phone in such manner is awesome, that alone will not stop people from recording 9:21 vertical videos, wouldn't want too watch that on my 21:9 screen, would you?
                                  21:9 is great even for VR, not that I expect much from sony...

                                      Sapphire Blue, 31 Dec 201818:9 is the best. Those 19.5:9 and 21:9 are too tall and ugly.Agree.. Just like what Meizu do with their phone.. Altough they are not so popular but I like their aspect ratio and symetrical bezel cut out..
