    AnonD-647328, 08 Mar 2017Thats quite a funny way of talking about its giant bezels. ... moreTypical, when there's nothing new from the manufacturers they rave about or like they look for something no matter how flimsy to bring down those who have actually packed the best tech and features in the phone. Only a clueless person will say he doesn't know the top and bottom bezels are there for stereo speakers. Keep grasping unto straws, typical from Samsung fans.

      2 simple reasons why this model won't sell well. Huge bezels. This is 2017 and the public want bigger screens with the same size phone. So obviously, smaller bezels is the solution and the evolution for 2017.

      Refective chrome casing will make it overly glarry outdoors and simply uncomfortable to use outdoors.

              I currently have a s7 and those are the issues I've been dealing with. Due to lack of phone choices I had at that time, I had no choice but to get the S7. I can't wait to get rid of this phone and buy the XZ.

This reason alone will cause the failure of this phone. Its 2017 now and people want the new tech.e.g. bigger screens without a bigger phone, so smaller bezels is the next evolution of mobile phones.

                                Plus the excessively reflective chromium casing will reflect so much outdoors making it too uncomfortable to use and again a design flaw rendering it useless outdoors.
