SaintMartin, 17 May 2017Another crap with Sony brand on it... Sorry but this is 201... moreThis year fact, bezel=the year the phone came from
So basically sharp aquaos came from future and s8 is the premitive of bezeless
Not enough?
Xperia ZL come from the present day and s7 edge is older than Xperia ZL
That how phone timeline will go if you associate bezel with year

Tann Hauser, 17 May 2017Either that, or it is a really, really excellent phone, ... moreIt only happens with Sony threads. Either everyone is out to get Sony in particular (a mere bleep in the mobile world, not even top 10) or her fans are really that crazy.

Anonymous, 17 May 2017Eithat that or it is really really bad phone that Sony fans... moreEither that, or it is a really, really excellent phone, just like this here rev and some other concluded.
And unfortunately has a serious amount of rabid bashers commenting with nonsens, that indeed never even used a Sony flag phone, but have a rabid need to come and bash/troll.... and it happens in biggest amount on Sony threads...
I really dont understand why so much?
I mean, I know, had to do with "marketing" in the past, has to do with "marketing" now also.
Its the way some certain companies operate, as proven by some certain court judgings in the past.

Anonymous, 17 May 2017I think pure hate, closer to madness!.Eithat that or it is really really bad phone that Sony fans overinflate its importance.
Just look all the Sony reviews, 2x more posts than any other, sometimes 4x the posts of others (like this one). Sony has some of the most rabid fans. I don't understand why, they're nothing spectacular. Not even Apple has such diehard fans that actually did something spectacular (started the current era of smarphopnes).
Thankflully Sony cannot break even, so once they go under and their mobile division stops producing phones all this noise will go away.

Anonymous, 17 May 2017So big bezels, low battery, bad camera ... Is there anythin... moreAll X phones have Qnovo.
Get a XZP now and you have 3230mAh, in 4 years this value will remain the same.
S8 won't have the 3000 in 3 years, maybe not even 2700

I would also like to comment on always debated headphone sound volume tests of Xperias
As stated by an audiophile:
"Weidemann's explanation for why battery-powered devices perform best with low-impedance headphones is based on this: Most portable players use from 3-volt to a maximum of 5-volt batteries, that means the signal voltage at the output is low, but they can still deliver high current with low-impedance headphones, and the sound will be fine. However, if you plug in a high-impedance headphone to a portable device the voltage and current will be low, so the headphone won't play loudly at all, and dynamics will be reduced.
Summing up, if you're interested in headphones that'll be used with portable (battery-powered) music players and at home with a receiver or integrated amp, stick with low impedance, under 50-ohm headphones."
Xperias output voltage is 0.36 volt, others are at least double above 0.7 volts. Xperia headphones have impedance from 16 to 25 ohms, while some other, like AKG used here for testing, are 32 ohm....
No wonder Xperia output volumes are always lower in tests here.
Using Sony headphones on Xperia phones will produce higher good volume output.
Users bear that in mind.

How come the s8 has 210 comme... moreYou do realize that there better phones than S8 right?
Over S7 edge it only has a taller screen literally.
Exynos 8895 is just 5% faster, same ram, same pixel density, same phone width (s8+ I mean), same camera score in Dx0 score, even same battery.
It's rerelease of S7 edge , just taller. It should have been named S7T , because it is s7 just taller.
Same as this phone is Z5 premium basically. Just a bit more up to date internals but not by much. People would hardly feel a difference. Z5s maybe.
I think we should be out on the streets that companies re-release the same phones with higher pricetags and cosmetic changes or gimmicks. New phone meant new everything, heck it still means that with certain Chinese brands.
It's just sad that all those Korean/Japanese brands get so much praise. They're not even trying, they follow the same design and try to convince people to buiy the same phone over and over again.
This phone went to close 700 comments because of how many people are bashing it. I think S8 should had too, many of the big mobile companies have grown sterile and riding an easy wave to the bank. It should stop.

Just yesterday a friend of mine asked about what that pink/bluish area in top of her Samsung A5 screen is and can it be fixed? Shes bought it new and been using it for 10 days, said it heated a lot last couple of days...
I hated replying to her it was burnin, and there was no fixing.
It freakin burned through her amoled display.
Unfortunately, she bought a Samsung, as it was first recommended to her as she entered the store, and she didnt know squat about Sammy "quality" doing rounds over the net.

Been walking the streets the other night...
Examining colors, shading,... etc
I must say, XZ Premium brings best real to life low light photography, all other are so artificial looking, let alone daylight ones...
Indeed superb Eye camera.

How come the s8 has 210 comments in the review?
Is it that boring?
Too fragile perhaps?
Can't hold on to it as the grip sucks?
Essence of the s8 obviously stopped by the craftsmanship of the daddy, the don, the himalaya, the moab (mother of all bombs) the smooth silver surfer, the KING the Sony Xperia xz premium!
You all need to stop hating.
We are all on the same team here.
