Nobody, 03 Mar 2017Yes bro they put a bomb in smaller footprint{note 7} than x... moreEvery user must have the overnight charging experience, only Sony care about it, Xperia XZ Premium have the Battery Care (Trademark) to prolong the battery life. Those competitors make the sealed battery smartphone is crap because the don't take care to their sealed battery.

Furthermore, Xperia XZ Premium have the Qnovo battery charging technology to maintain the battery life, those competitors with the sealed battery become pity, because the company don't care and don't make the durable battery for them.

      AnonD-392500, 05 Mar 2017Yeah...not worth to upgrade from Z3.That comment is nothing more than dimensions.
      This should be a fairly large upgrade compared to the z3.

They suffers great-loss in Indonesian market because most people in there avoid sony. Yeah.. sony have very bad after sales service in there, that's why peoole avoid it and choose other brands with better services (like samsung, huawei, lg, etc).
        That is the reason why sony never sell the X series in indonesia. Because people in there won't buy it.

            The samples look promising. Not as good as a Nexus 5x or Pixel, but quite ok. We'll see.
            "You may think that Sony should have gone for a brighter aperture (it's f/2.0). However, the Google Pixels showed that a f/2.0 aperture is enough for a best-in-class low-light photography, no matter what Samsung and LG PRs say." Bad journalism. The low light capability of the hardware is roughly determined by (sensor size)/f-number^2 . Full frame cameras have better low light performance even with f/8! Moreover the Pixels/Nexus low light capabilities are so good because of HDR+. Without HDR+ the Pixel/Nexus is not special in low light.

                  As well as compare to old models like Z3 for just one example.
                  The xz premium is a whopping 10mm taller, 5mm wider, 0.6mm thicker, with only 0.3inch more screen, and only 130mah larger batter. And more bezel if not mistaking.

                  The phone looks good and will have good battery life. But lack of design advancing and has waisted space.

                                  The trend for thinner phones began with the iPhone, but people just don't know when to stop. Look at note 7 - all because they wanted a slimmer phone.
                                  This year is bezeless design year - I bet a LOT of people will be very disappointed when their bezeless phones gets dropped on the floor.
                                  Till then, I'll use my phone in landscape mode and use the bezels that actually protect the phone when dropped.
                                  By the way, I think the XZ Premium actually has a chance being smartphone of the year 2017. Except for the iris scanner and the oled display, the S8 has nothing over the XZP.
