I see a lot of online buyers from Indonesia buying XZ premium and do not get bothered that after sale services for it do not yet exist in the country.

First the bezel you are trolling from another way, second the is the camera quality, third you asking a OIS, fourth you mention the Xenon flash, fifth praising Samsung and iphone without proof, sixth meaning the 4K is useless, seventh slim down the phone, eighth heating issue, ninth said the 960fps is gimmick. I think the competitors is no money to hire more trolls , it is just like a one person show to repeating, it is just like repeating the Samsung Note 7 explode news to sharing with more people.
Reply your points:
1- Bezel: to protect the phone from drop damage, do you agree?
2- Camera and 3- IOS: with the IMX400 Dram sensor, 19% larger pixels and 5x faster image scanning reduce image distortion, get a look on this link: http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_xz_premium_vs_iphone_7_plus_quick_camera_comparison-news-24773.php
4- Xenon flash: heavy battery consumption. camera large sensor + large aperture + software algorithm are better for nowadays, perhaps future will coming with latest flash system, but Xenon is heavy in battery usage.
5- Praising Samsung and iphone? brain wash people again?
6- 4K display tech: tech is improved, 4K display now is using the panel to do shirthing not use the the CPU, so can save more battery.
7- slim down the phone: do you love bend-gate?
8- heating issue: SD835 no heating issue and the graphite is a whole piece in the phone, watch link:http://www.gsmarena.com/heres_whats_inside_the_sony_xperia_xz_premiun-blog-23700.php
9- 960fps video: you can record the favourite short time with longer sensible. Btw the Predictive capture is awsome but you didn't mention it.....
....So I can claim you is a trolls.

i want a sony phone that is slim n sexy, just like the note, iphone and huwaei, i dont mind the bezels look good but i got to say it will look big, bulky and ugly when holding the phone, i personally own the z5 premium and i dont regret buying it, but when a colleague passes by and see my phone in its very slim cover he immediately notices its bulky phone, i have to say to him its only the cover man, and yes the phone fits so slim in my pocket so i have to remove the cover most of the times...
my second issue with sony is the camera, while it takes amazing photos and videos, the edges are ALWAYS noisy which you can solve with cropping or just ignore it, but that's something they definitely need to work on !... Also i tend to have shaky hands when taking photos mostly, i don't care if they introduced smart digital stabilization for videos, AMOF most of the time i dont use them as they crop down the video, i just want to see OIS for god sake for still images as well as videos, this is in note5 for years and other phone, and yet i agree sony is a great camera manufacturer but they didnt quite nail it when it comes to smartphone camera, its sorta like split personality, more pixels, excellent 4k videos, good colors, but noisy edges issues, bad low light support (no xenon flash also) and i would say phones like samsung and iphone can take overall better pictures !
Also what good is the 4k screen for if you can't even play 4k youtube videos, maybe just watch the 4k videos which you took that's one thing only !...
No complains on the batteries WHEN ON STAMINA MODE !
Finally, they really need to slim down their phones, and stop the heating issues, the phone does well on stamina, but slightly heats up on gaming, and sometimes in hot days, also who really needs 960 FPS, i will play with it once or twice only, its not a real requirement for everyday use or even occasional use, it just a WOW factor to sell their phone nothing more IMO. Really sony phones are as confusing as attractive they are !...

Everything must have clue...
I read the 4K display panel of XZ Premium is using the display panel ability to produce the 4K shifting it is saving battery compare to Z5 Premium, because Z5 Premium using the CPU resource to doing 4K shifting. You may try to find on eprice Taiwan on google and search the related topic that I mentioned (it is officially from an interviews from Japan resources).

4k display with even less than 3200 mah battery ????????? Recipe for complete disaster. Only people who are enthusiastic about VR would go for this . Else it wont probably even last 24 hours under moderate usage .

Ok, lets see..
As i see the XZS has nearly defeated every phone they copared it to(so, what the XZP will do), dont look at the benchmark results look for how the performance stays the same, in every phone has samsung ever released..1st day wow awesome phone..2nd day a lil' bit of bug..3rd day like s**t..etc..
And the bezel is safer for phone u know when u drop the phone the bezel protects the screen..
And also it got 960fps and qnovo battery charging..the first one will make recording videos more exciting and of course with 4K HDR with more contrast, and the second one will improve the battery life because sony cares about battery..and when u talk about how thick is it, remember the failure attempt for samsung in the note 7 slimmer phone with bigger battery, yeah buy a note 7 and go to hospital for free..other companies just care about who will produce the bigger phone c'mon guys stop it, i think in 5 years time will be holding 50 inches phone..XZP is a classic phone in design but the S8 is weird idk what is the advantage of that edge..and of course dont forget the sd835 and the adreno 540, it will has an astonishing performance for sure...promising phone, go forward SONY!
SONY XPERIA XZ PREMIUM WILL BE THE PHONE OF 2017!!

It's about unique features ...and Sony beats it with 960fps slow motion !
Compact slow-mo camera.
When iPhone lunched 240fps, many cool videos came out and iPhone made a lot of rep from that.
Expecting more than that for xz premium's 960fps.
Just imagine what you will see :)
