28 September 2016
Sony's latest flagship, the Xperia Z6 comes with refined design, improved camera, and a due update in specs. Wait, back up a little there - it's actually called the Xperia XZ this time around but, yeah, the rest of that is true.

Tann Hauser, 03 Oct 2016Wow, at the end of all that "exact measures" babble you men... moreThis is the result of MANY of the review sites underrating Sony Xperia's, don't worry,plenty of time I've been roasting Samsung users personally and even iPhone users, my friend meanwhile has an officemates full of iPhone/samsung users but when it comes to photography, they relied on my Friend's Xperia X and Z5

    [deleted post]Then there's no point in arguing with you, you're just one of those fanboys or ignorants who doesn't have both devices, come back to me when you own,or have someone lent you both of those devices, you'll see what I'm talking about without even relying on youtube channels or techsites and about the camera, I've provided a link that shows it all

        [deleted post]Wow, at the end of all that "exact measures" babble you mention camera, but denies exact measures of camera performance.
        Double standards much?

You can change the dis... moreSee you always rely on tech sites, it really is oversaturated even in basic mode/normal and the colors are turning much worse as the they,those amoled screens, the whites are inaccurate now and turns into a yellowish tint as like my 2 year old Note 3 and 1 year old Note 5, even compared it to S7 to my Z5 and the lcd of the Z5 is natural, not that I agree that Amoled displays aren't good, what I like about them is the deep black and screen angles.

You can change the display mode on Samsung phones to basic to make them more accurate, the second most accurate on mobile (the iPhone 7 and 7 plus are slightly more accurate). You can't do that on Sony since it is always inaccurate. Almost every site says this, which is backed up by objective measuring, except the ones that just happen to say the camera is good. Lol, wonder why that is?

AMOLED? Their blacks are good but colors? Dude amoleds are oversaturated, I have a Galaxy Note 3 and 5 here you know and my friend has an S7 edge, that's the problem to people like you, you blame manila shaker a Sony fanboy when some praise sony, you're just a IGNORANT,smh

You see, the thing about the display is you can objectively test how accurate it is. And the xperia display is probably the most inaccurate display of 2016, objectively measured. Yet that dopey website says it is accurate, and you say its 'true' too. Know what that means? Both you and that site have no credibility and have no argument to make. Understand? Then go away before you make an even bigger fool of yourself.

                  I can do compares with their rev photos that actually prove Xperias camera is best.
                  As I did numerous times.
                  I thank gsma arena for that.

                    samples are great but why iso is very high ?! 8000?!

                      Anonymous, 03 Oct 2016more noise and edge softness means Bad. No one want it. F a i l.Im more bothered with all elses cameras false colors, oversharpening, low detail, slow focus, bad stabilisation, etc,etc
                      They all are F A I L in compare to Xperias.

                          Anonymous, 03 Oct 2016You are joking, right? This actually made me laugh out loud... moreNope.
                          Im exactly on the point.

                            Anonymous, 03 Oct 2016You are joking, right? This actually made me laugh out loud... moreNo I am not.
                            Actually, reactions to my post prove me exactly right.
                            As always.
                            Seems to me, for you fanboys Xperias camera rev MUST be negatively connotated, else...its obviously bias.
                            No matter what compares we give that prove otherwise, or proffesional sites like dxomark measure to the point.
                            Always same unsubstantiated fanboy replies...
                            Yawn...
                            Its getting boring.

                            Here, again, some real substance for a change:

I have an iPhone,Samsung and Sony.

F a i l.view angle is more wider than other competitors .. if you don' t like those little corner softness that even appear on note 7 and iphone 7 pics , you can crop the edges even with this view angle is more than uncroped photos of competitors .. xperia xz is the best phone in android world !

                                        The user reviews or comments here is full of opinions of people who never even touched or even used the phone they comment on. People can see the bias of the reviewer like in phone arena where the users are happy with xperia z5 but the reviewer crap all over the xperia z5. I found reviewer in sites such as phone arena, gsm arena, tech radar was tougher when they review sony xperia units.
