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?

            The Sony provide the best and safety way to charging the phone. You can only find mostly the Samsung phones explode and catching fire news. You probably don't know what is Qnovo, google yourself and learn something new.

              What happened to Sony?? XA. ZX XZ XI VII SX XS Bla bla...These model numbers confuse the most of us. Stop sending people out into a confusing world of models and stick to what you used to release... What happened with just the Z?

But yeah, feel free to destroy your ears by doing so. What kind of 5.1-setup do you have, model of the speakers, subwoofer and amplifier? Just want to know, I'm into this stuff. :)

                    Obviously you are not satisfied with your phones speakers enough to listen music through its speakers. If I want some hifi deck sound of course I bt to my home 5.1 surround cinema.

                    But while sipping morning coffee, my stereo front speakers are excellent for listening to morning music... well balanced clear stereo and loud enough sound.
                    And yt watching and gaming wiith front stereo speakers.... well, nothing can beat that, no unleveld stereo speakers, or any mono speaker.
                    So, be real.

                          Again - mediocre Sony phone. Now my poor comment will be waiting for the bashing Sony fans. lol

                          Same design since four years and a mediocre camera. There ya go, fellas! That's Sony.

The earpiece is used as a speaker, it's not as loud as the bottom one, but definitely creates stereo sound. Not that it would matter on a phone.:D Tiny speakers all are useless for music. Wish I was kidding, but then again some people think their Logitech-speakers are HiFi. :D So I understand if you don't know better sound, but please. Tiny speakers can't be as good as you like to think. Be real. :)

                                Tann Hauser, 10 Apr 2017I dont know about your phone with speakers on the bottom, b... moreI had the HTC One M8 with "perfect" front-firing speakers and those were as bad for music as every phone speaker out there, so I don't care about those anymore. For serious music listening, no other real option than external speakers + subwoofer or headphones. Also had Nexus 6 with front-firing speakers, okay for ringtone and notifications. As long as the ringtones and notifications are loud, as they are on Mate 9, that's all I care about. But not for music, never ever. I'm very much of an audioholic, yes. Sound needs to have richness, that can't be achieved with phone speakers. Tiny size limits too much.

                                        I quit using that extra bt speaker when I got X Perform....cause while maybe louder, its just mono, and sound coming from phone itself is just better. And loud indeed.
                                        I really enjoy my front surround speakers.
