Also, chill out. Ignore those haters comments, i'm a Sony fan as well, but a Mate 20 user. I've got my own reason as well by bought a Huawei phone instead of Sony.

      Soapy, 08 May 2019Oml. You had me there at "my phone is not PlayStation" :'D ... moreI mean it is not fair that many costumers that may need only 32 or 64 Gb ( there are tons of people that can easily survive with 16Gb phone) have to pay for 128, 256 or 512 Gb just because some people demand that and usually reason is to install thousand games.

      While ago I had about 100 apps ( from OEM, from Google and the ones downloaded), that included apps like bank, messengers , email, photo editors, e-shopping, pdf reader, microsoft office (just to open files) , sports and other.....

      Not even 18Gb were being used. Android and all apps were not 18Gb. And I often updated my apps.

      Current SD cards are very fast (class 10 can pass 100Mb/s), so they are fast enough to keep photos, videos and music.

        B*t**, not even many celebrity advertisers use the phone they are endorsing, so that makes them NOT a fan already?
        Gawd! What kind of mindset is that?!
        I would assume a cockroach would think like that, but not a human being!
        Well, that's if you're actually a homo sapien...

          Walter C. Dornez, 08 May 2019Well Sony flagships do drop in priceAnd when that happens, I've already found so many better options to choose
          I always want a great camera phone that I could use even for at least 2 years, but Xperias of the past certainly aren't them

            freespirit16680, 08 May 2019Sensors are paid to put Leica brand name on it, it's not a ... moreA big company like Germany's Leica wont sacrifice its known naming just by getting paid by Huawei. They share their image processing, color mode such as 'smooth', 'vivid' option & definitely they are the one arrange the tri-camera module setup, hence the 'Sumillux' branding on the back of huawei's phone, eventhough using Sony camera sensor.

            If u own any Leica's camera such as Q, Q2 & D-Lux (i own this one), u'll know it has identical style imaging results as Huawei does. Of course they are better because of bigger sensor & pixel size setup, but i've gotta admit, looks like P30 series are better than their camera itself when it comes to low light capabilities.

              Good morning ... Those that have XZ3 will be able to try the early version of Android Q.

              Following devices will be updated to Q: X1, X10, X10+, XZ3, XZ2 series and upcoming devices too ...
              Updates may start in October as usual. Before Xmas all flagships will have new android as usual.

              Thanks and great day ...

                I'll admit, I can say my phone is indeed a "PlayStation" :')
                At times when I travel, i want my games with me. What better alternative there be for something like Nintendo Switch than a phone that does everything.
                And to be honest, not just games... Even with 128gb internal storage I needed equal or more than that on external sd card.

                And to be fair, Xperia flagships do have capability to connect with your Ps4 back home to play games remotely...

                            Ya right. Zeiss lenses in a smartphone. Sony has lenses with Zeiss branding, but still manufactured by them. It should be the same case here. Only caveat is the Zeiss-branded Sony mirrorless lenses do not live up to Zeiss standards.

                                    Its module setup along with the lens maybe by Zeiss, but the camera sensor itself definitely a Sony IMX.

                                    Since when Zeiss make a camera sensor?

                                      No not quite

                                      THe lenses are made from Ziess, however the sensors themselves are SONY.
                                      Like the p30 pro, the lenses are from Leica but all the sensors incloding the TOF are from Sony

                                        - Z3+ and Z5 had 3/32Gb like most of the phones around. S6 had 64 and 128 versions because they did not have SD slot. Only S6e+ had 4Gb.

                                        - X, X Perf and XZ had versions of 32Gb ( single sim) and 64Gb ( dual sim).

                                        - XZ2/XZ3 had more RAM in Asia

                                        People have different needs, not all of us need 128Gb, my phone is not PlayStation
