Sony Xperia XZs review: Slow (e)motion

7 April 2017
Slap a new camera on the Xperia XZ, et voila - you have yourself a brand-new flagship. Is Sony taking advantage of a smartphone-induced decrease in human attention span? Or just doing what everyone else does?

    Many websites took photos at MWC. It was easy to see that XZs is better than XZ on auto.
    Default of XZ is 8mp. Although you can change to 20 or 23mp.
    Default o XZs us 12mp. You can also use 17 and 19.

    Advice:

    - Daylight: highest resoltion
    - at night: lower + ISO

          This phone has been outdated long before it was even released. Even the original XZ is outdated by 2016 standards. XZs can't compete even with the 1-year old S7, let alone the S8.

            Lcd is not suitable for vr because it has lower refresh. I dont know it is true or not.

                "The aperture is one thing that hasn't changed - it's still f/2.0, not the brightest out there, but it's okay."
                Consider that Sony's f/2 lens captures more light than a f/2 lens for a smaller sensor. Xperia's f/2 lens has a full frame equivalent aperture of f/11.2 , there are a few smartphones with a better equivalent aperture, but for instance the iphone 7 is worse: f/12.6
                Also do consider that a smaller f-number (for instance f/1.7) can have more corner softness, less general sharpness and more vignetting.

Samsung provides an option to decrease their screens saturation. Present generation AMOLEDs are good and lot better than first gen. Don't go with these burn-out and other comments. All these were the problems of first gen panels.

Actually you can choose full payment without monthly contract with any American carriers (Check at AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon site). In the UK, The Galaxy S8 price is about £689/$720.
