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?

      Just give the Motion Eye to the others, they'll do better as always.

        I'm shocked by the bezels too. That's a big no go in 2017.Even in 2015 en 2016 the bezels of the Sony phones felt unnecessary, due to the lack of a home button on the phones. They're playing safe with their phones and that's killing in this business.

          Thanks for this review. I saw other camera samples and I got a bad feeling... And sadly the feeling wasn't wrong. As much as I like Sony, the design and their Xperia-Brand - for smartphone cameras there are simply better options. I had the Z, Z2, Z5, X and XZ, but always the same problem with the camera: I don't want to take photos only in sunshine. I really can't understand why they are not able to produce a good or better low light experience. And so I just ordered the S8.

                    Whenever considering their phones, but just to be frightened by their big bezels. Good specs phones are attempting but with big bezels may scare would-be customers away...
                    Really hope they could consider seriously change the design in the following phones.

                      "And despite the claims for a redesigned lens, we still see corner softness though to a slightly lesser extent.

                      Just as before, there is a considerable amount of noise and noise reduction artifacts, which don't look good when pixel peeping at 100%."

                      Whoa, after all these years... These problems remain to exist. Artifacts really do look bad.

                        So the only difference between XZs and XZ is 1 more GB of ram and slightly better camera.
                        I used to be a straight up sony fanboy but this is just retarded.
