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?

Tann Hauser, 11 Apr 2017You want ease, buy iphone or S8, you want real quality: ... moreTrusting the site you cite so often i can see few things
-Your favourite brand isn't at top
-the device you mentioned in the post are at par with your device while being simple for shooting instant photos and one is better at that using same sensor
- professional mobile photography is a joke. People prefer easy to use rather than better which it isn't to begin with
- I can buy a cyber shot for half price and it'll run circles around all the devices there
- nobody likes to wait to compose a shot mobile photography is better when it's simply point and shoot

              First of all, I don't hate all manufacturers. Besides Samsung, I really like Motorola, Huawei, OnePlus and BlackBerry, and I'm really starting to like Nokia and LG again, so your comment makes no sense, Sony fanboy. Just because I dislike a specific Sony smartphone, doesn't mean I hate all manufacturers.

              Also, your comment on my profile picture makes you look like a 9 year-old boy. Grow up. It's just a phone.

                I'm not about to start denying the existence of such weaknesses though. Nor will I be claiming that every single last feature on the XZ is better than the equivalent offered by the competition, that would be untrue and could be argued as bias.

                    If I could find some explosions, I can only see a few, and all of them are served well by Sony. Samsung felt the need of responding to the fiasco because they can't deal to go down in business because of that.

                    Don't try to put Sony in vain just to make up for Samsung's fiasco. Sony had that experience, now it's Samsung, and Sony battery explosions have nothing to do with Samsung battery explosions

Unlike Sony that denied and tried to conceal its exploding battery problems. In fact, 6 complete Sony model recalls and over 10.5 million battery recalls. Of course other brands have had battery problems also. But Sony has the highest record. Fortunately, there has never been any major injury and the future looks more secure with major security designs now in place by the major brands.

                                "Sony Xperia XZ is a not a universally excellent all-round photography tool as the LG G5 and Samsung S7 are, and the Sony XZ can occasionally trip here and there - especially in low light."

                                Samsung Galaxy S7 and LG G5 were equal outright winners. Third place was Iphone 7 and last place was Sony Xperia XZ.

                                The later released Google Pixel phone wasn't included in the test, and probably was the Best cameraphone of 2016.
