Anonymous, 01 Feb 2019Let me see, you probably use crappy chinese phone ( xiaomi ... moreXZ2 Premium does NOT have 144Hz display. If anything that's the touch sampling rate, not the display refresh rate which is fixed at 60Hz on all Sony phones. Only phones from Razer, Asus and Sharp come with a high refresh rate display.
Pixel 3's top shot allows you to choose from 7 different HDR+ photos, whereas on Sony phones it's from 4. It's good that Sony saves it the full resolution though.
XZ2 Premium/XZ3 capture super slow mo at FHD for only 0.08 seconds, half the length of time it captures in HD resolution. Note 9 only captures super slow mo in HD but has the automatic motion detection and can record it for 0.2 seconds which makes it a lot more practical. And guess what, Note can record regular slow mo at FHD 240fps. Something which would be totally possible on Sony phones but omitted for some reason.
Note 9 can also upscale SDR video to near-HDR quality with something called Video Enhancer. Also, the effect of Qnovo Technology cannot be confirmed as of right now since early Xperia phones with that technology(e.g. X Performance, XZ) had a horrible battery life to begin with.
Look man, you can't just list all the random features without checking if they are actually useful or not and say they make a great phone because it has gimmick ABC.. Top companies excel at not innovating new features, but rather using existing technologies, making them readily accessible to average consumers and present features in the manner that people can appreciate them. Sony Mobile packs top-level techs onto their phones but at the end nobody cares about most of them apart from some useful ones like water resistance or embedded CMOS sensor because they are not that practical in real life usage.
For instance, does anyone care about how you can record HDR video on your phone in the format that is incompatible with pretty much all smartphone/laptop display? Does anyone notice the actual difference between 4K and QHD display from normal distance? Is the monochrome sensor on XZ2 Premium helping it take substantially better photos than its competitors? Does anyone enjoy using Dynamic Vibration System when they are watching a video? Why do their recent phones have such a thick chassis when they don't pack any larger battery than their rivals but it only makes them more slippery to hold and prone to slip off a table? They are doing what Chinese companies are doing right now and what Samsung used to do, putting as many gimmicks as possible and hoping some will stick, while copying some trendy designs from other companies such as edge display or curved glass back. At least their phones used to have a unique design, but then that also ended in 2018.
I thought illogical fanboys like you were a thing of the past, but man they really still exists.

I always trust Sony. But never trust Samsung. Even my Z3 still works.

Most of it you dont even know what is for .....
I knew XZ2 Premium has 144 Hz and WRGB screen before it was announced.
Let's see poorly implemented :
Pixel 3 Top Shot = three photos of 1MP without AF
Sony XZs (2017) = four photos of full resolution with AF
S9 = 960fps@720p
Xz Premium = 960fps@1080 ( with less dram than s9, half actually)
Iphone xs = burst without AF
Xz premium = burst with AF
Note 9 = only plays hdr vids in hdr quality
Xz2 = plays ANY vid in hdr quality
Z2 (2014) = stereo speakers
OP6T = mono speakers
If you do not know what stacked sensor is for, read about sensor readout.
If you dont know what anti distortion shuttter is, read about rolling shutter
Read about hybrid log gamma.
Read about how the tech from Qnovo protects battery against effects of fast charging. Yes fast charging decreases number of cycles battery can live.
You should be glad Sony is not iPhone clone , nor from somewhere companies break patents and steal info from other ....

Sony is a pioneer of many technologies and they utilise them wonderfully in their products.. with the only exception being their mobile segment. And don't mix BS into your list of "features" such as 144Hz display or stereo speakers with *Hi-res audio*, they don't exist on any mobile phone.

Sony honestly have greats phones (until the XZ). What they need to do is a better marketing strategy. Gurl, your phones aint selling is no one knows about it.

Oh great, a class leading camera. Which you can only use about 50% of the stupid phone's 21:9 screen to view. Inspired. There is absolutely no excuse for what is primarily an imaging (and communications) device to have an aspect greater than 16:9 ....... except of course eliminating costs.

It does not have 52 MP nor tele lens.
Bigger sensors are much harder to use OIS without going 1in thickness.
It has 66.6 rgb + 12.3 mono + ToF.

Nick Tagataka, 31 Jan 2019lol you wish.It will beat it. Not on sales but in pic quality. I'm not gonna buy this. Only if they release a compact version. I don't like Chinese brands, quality is crap, UI is a crap. Even LG has more quality. Don't care to pay for a phone just to upgrade every year, i rather a phone that lasts long .

Caramel, 31 Jan 2019If ONLY they come with OIS! if not this is a another Failure!with 52MP that gives quite a bit of leverage for digital stabilization (ie crop) without losing too much resolution
that said id also prefer OIS
