AnonD-671343, 22 May 2017I like all three phones (and the HTC U11 and Xiaomi Mi Mix)... moreI have used Unlocked internatonal Xperia Premium and XZ with ATT. No issues at all. Fingerprint and all features work like a charm. Infact, it is better then using an ATT or Verizon branded devices. Its totally free of all bloatware and the updates are super quick.
The best thing i like about Sony is the Software and Battery stability even after years of use, and super fast security updates which is very important for me as i am in media and security business.

I would have said perfectly, no sweat, as I've never had any issues when visiting the US. But if you had some issues with a Z5 then maybe you are doing things I'm not...

If you're simply talking about bringing or shipping one from Europe, I -believe- they're covered globally regardless, but I'm not sure.

People keep saying that the weird aspect ratios of the G6 and S8 mean that the actual usable area is less than we'd get from a 16:9; but what actually --are-- those usable areas (edge drop-off and the like considered too, hard to calculate that without the phone in-hand..) compared to the XZP?

I like all three phones (and the HTC U11 and Xiaomi Mi Mix), but each option has some issues. Here are my concerns about the phones:
1. Samsung phones historically have had two issues that only arise over time, software slow down and battery degradation. Have these issues been resolved with the s8 line?
2. Just how fast will the 821 chipset become antiquated?
3. How well will an unlocked international Sony work on AT&T in the US? I had a z5 premium that worked, but never as well as my Galaxy Note 2.

AnonD-18780, 22 May 2017The features you said may be obsolete now. But I use these ... moreRemovable battery will never be obsolete. This is a physical limit. You cannot charge a phone instantly because physical laws don't allow for it. You'd always have to wait at least an hour.
That alone means that removable batteries will make a return. Good ideas always return, but their future iteration would be less annoying. Motorola already does it matter unkoingly with its covers. Most people complain because they don't get how revolutionary idea is, most people don't get revolutionary ideas period, they merely use them.
So the future of batteries is this: removable battery + a time one that will keep the light on when the replacing takes place. Good ideas never become obsolete, they return. LG G5 is a phone beyond its time. Timeless camera, great performance, removable battery. That's 3/4ths of the perfect phone (it only lacks ergonomy).
Sure it's ugly, but "ugly" is fixable.

After Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and LG G5 I forced to switching on some sub stranded Chinese brands. I still believe no body will complain if these old features available in a latest flagship.

Don't comment crap if you don't know someone. I love smartphones and cars more than you love to eat.

I'm having an S8 since the launch day, I have S7 edge too and I know how much the camera is improved, image processing is the AI part of camera and Samsung has worked amazingly on it. I have iPhone 7 too (one of the early jet black adopters on launch date before it went out of stock) which I hate so much in front of my S8. I can advise anyone that S8 is the best smartphone and its smarter than anything else out there.

lacp, 22 May 2017You must be dreaming, XZs faster than Galaxy S8? That must ... moreSony have their own chipset on the lattest Android TV btw, It does not rule out the possibility that they might as well make their own chipset for their cell phones, and later, they will finish the artificial screen CLEDIS .. It will be very compete Samsung and Apple right away! Competition should make them (all company) for a better company of course!
