And when they do it won't ... moreI'm sure it'll get over 90, People are just ignorant towards Sony, many of them doesn't even hold BOTH, unlike me and my friend here who has both Samsung S7 ,Note 5 , Xperia Z5 compact ,Z5 and Xperia X, haters just called Us or users "Xperia fans" but in reality it ain't we're just proving that Sony is underrated, only a few sites prove Sony's camera are awesome because they knew how to control, If you want I have a sample shot here S7 vs X from my friend WITH camera details.

Sony fanboys always ... moreActually what Dxo mark says it's true, you're just being brainwashed by iPhone and Samsung biased reviews, if you want I can give you a link of an Xperia X's camera Manual(SD650 one) vs S7 edge(IN MANUAL), shot by my friend who is a veteran photographer, you might cry, we ain't comparing it screen to screen, amoleds are oversaturated, when you compare X's camera to his Canon EOS 700d, Xperia's details are superb and color accuracy is close to Canon's unlike Samsung, oversaturated,and I'm very sure you'll say I don't know how to control manual, lol please I know how, I'm an Xperia fan? well I have plenty of Lumia's 1020,535,520 :P

AnonD-588252, 01 Oct 2016Thank you for clarifying. And yes, I do recall reading some... moreThis phone has 5 axis image stabilization which is first time in a smartphone that means whatever type of shake you induce the video will still be stable.
I tried it and trust me it works.

Xperia XZ's camera has a larger sensor, probably that's why the bezels aren't small
- better in "each number"? That doesn't make sense.
If you're talking about benchmarks, XZ scores as much as or better than S7 in GB4, 3dmark, etc. AnTuTu is crap, it's funny you take that scores seriously. Many manufacturers are known for cheating AnTuTu scores.
- Xperia X phones have a limit when it comes to recording 4K. It's just a measure to avoid overheating. The XZ shut down not because of external heating. Don't believe me? You can see videos of the Z5 Premium recording 4K videos for 40mins, after Sony addressed the video recording cap. Also the Btekt guy did say both phones weren't cool, they were warm. Overheating is different from heating up. Also, FYI in that video, they set XZ screen to a higher brightness than the iPhone 7. Why so? It just shows how biased they are.
- don't you get it? Sony didn't have the source code for Nougat, or in other words, didn't get the source code in time. Is that even a con? Sony's software is more stable than LG's. It's a proven fact.
- Android wont benefit from 6GB RAM in any way. Read up the articles from AC.

AnonD-216319, 02 Oct 2016I agree with you , but Sony missed out on other stuff too, ... moreXZ supports fast charging, just you must have a QC quick charge 3 compliant charger.
I don't agree with your comments on the battery life. While XZ's battery lasts a little less compared to the Z3, it's still ahead of what the HTC 10, LG G5, iPhone 7, S7, etc. offers. So calling XZ's battery worse that other flagships in terms of battery life is wrong.
I don't have understand about what's wrong with the thermal efficiency of the XZ. It doesn't overheat, it heats up just like other flagships.
Again, bezels aren't so bad. I'm fine with those bezels as long as it packs good front firing stereo speakers. The problem arises when the space isn't utilized, but this is not the case here. Those bezels also help in getting grip when holding the phone horizontally for taking pics.
And about Android N, is that really even a con? According to the leaks XZ might get the update this month. And the reason why Sony didn't put N was because they got the source code at a later time during the XZ's development. Having a LG device loaded with Android M, I have to say, LG's skin is the worst.
And at this point, having more than 3GB of RAM won't help at all.

Mick, 29 Sep 2016And sorry camera is not that important for me. I still don'... moreI agree with you , but Sony missed out on other stuff too, fast charging, fast charger out of the box not included, bad battery life compared to what Sony offered in the past and to many flagships today, familiar design that some aren't too excited about, big bezels everywhere, and very high price with lower ram and lower thermal efficiency, I had two wont's before so I know what I am talking about here, software isn't nougat yet even though nougat is officially out and running on v20 for example, and the list goes on and on

After 2012 the design of aony phones grown up very fast. Best language design is for sony they can't make it better that you can see many differences between older fones because they are best and it is hard to make them beter than before. Good job Sony.

Anonymous, 01 Oct 2016Steady Shot was a digital image stabilization technology us... moreYeah, can't disagree - the XZ is very, VERY promising. In fact, I am finally fancying a Sony. Was a huge fan of Sony Ericsson feature phones all those years ago. C-series, K-series, Walkman-series... Had them all before moving to my first smartphone - the HTC Desire. Using the HTC One (m7) now, another beauty. And while I am smitten by the HTC 10 no doubt, the XZ's dual sim feature is tempting me to switch loyalties again.

AnonD-588252, 01 Oct 2016Thank you for clarifying. And yes, I do recall reading some... moreSteady Shot was a digital image stabilization technology used in older Xperias from the Z1 to Z3+.
I guess they changed the name after that. XZ has far better image stabilization compared to its predecessors.
Anyway, you're getting a top notch camera with the XZ. The phone is a great all rounder.
