Sony Xperia XZ Premium hands-on: A closer look

MWC is an information overload galore. Now that we’ve covered the main announcements and we have them out the gate, we spent some extra time with one of the stars of the show – the Xperia XZ Premium.

Bloatware > Bezels. You can delete bloats but can't add bezels. So S8 > XZ Premium for me. #SD835 (almost 9GB worth of bloats on my colleague's S7 edge, and no, it's not a contract phone but retail. So no bloats from service/network provider. It's all from Sammy. In comparison from default settings; S7 edge 64GB: 55GB free by default. Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro 64GB: 57+GB free by default)

      AnonD-633729, 01 Mar 2017"What the LG G6 shed in bezels, the Sony gained. The upcomi... moreCouldn't agree more. Does not sound like a winner-phone from Sony, maybe in the next 20 or so years if they can step up their game enough by then. :-)

        Yeah, not a fan of the phone either. It's not like I want to not like Sony, but their offerings make liking them impossible! Why should I get a Sony, which won't even work on Verizon correctly, I believe if you buy one unlocked, when LG has made a very compelling (although somewhat disappointing, in that features are separated by region. V30 looks to be this, but without those boundaries) offer, at the same price?

          "What the LG G6 shed in bezels, the Sony gained. The upcoming Galaxy S8 similarly wages war on bezels, but not the Sony"

          "The mirrored front on the XZ model reflects all your surroundings, which can be quite distracting. It pulls attention away from the screen, a terrible thing to do"

          "we're still a bit disappointed that the Glass Loop Surface was a lie"

          "battery capacity is disappointing"

          "4K resolution on a phone screen is a gimmick without VR"

          "LG G6 delivers 12-bit Dolby Vision, while Sony has "only" 10-bits"

          Conclusion : another fail product from sony. RIP.

                I prefer the Z5 Premium design because it is more simplified and matured, although both look great
