AnonD-529536, 06 Mar 2018It's some kind of joke all the features are available in S9... moreYou mean like Sony and every single ornery phone out there copying Samsung by using phase detection, revising and playing hd video, or having a camera on a phone?
You've officially been debunked and schooled.
So next time if you feel the need to reply try and make sure you actually have a legit reason or point. Not just whining for your favorite brand. Or get schooled again. Up to you.

Tann Hauser, 05 Mar 2018Cant see any reason anyone would get S9 over this also.
No... moreCan't see why you always lie and make up random things. People might get the s9 over this because it's technically a better overall phone from an objective point.
Camera, display, features, headphones, design, existing customer service, even stereo speakers finally, etc.. all reasons someone might have a liking it preference.
-No hdr video? Just because it doesn't do 4k hdr doesn't mean it doesn't do hdr. And hdr or not doesn't describe camera quality. Which is generally overall better on Samsung except pure resolution. Deny it all you want, but review after review and personal experience makes it clearly factual. But you will still deny it and make up some random crap.
-No hdr upscaling? It has superior hdr on a superior display. Which is one of the reasons people buy it.
-More pricey? You mean a device that costs more in hardware, software, r&d, marketing, and accessories costs more????!!! YOU DONT SAY!!!!
-And what's so innovative on Sony? And sony get your undies all in a twist. What's really so innovative on any of these devices. We are at a point where most things are just refinements. Super slow mo?? Just enhancing slow mo. 3d tech? Not new. Variable aperture? Not first on a Samsung or smartphone. Though on both ends is somewhat innovative they way they work on these features.
-ok? Again superior display and hdr on s9. Hdr upscale on a 1080p lcd on supposed higher end 2018 device.
-Yes 10bit 4K HDR is nice. But would be better if they improved their aperture and incorporated ois. You talk about nothing being worthy or better in s9 compared to xz2...Samsung is using a variable F1.5 aperture for crying out loud. While sony was rumored to be getting F1.8 finally...finally four years late..But didn't even do that. It's still F2.0. And still no OIS. That's archaic. Their camera would improve drastically if they combined our with their eis and finally improved aperture. Again f1.5 variable vs still using f2.0 fixed.
-Ok? They all have a good isp. Others have their dedicated this or that. And it doesn't make it take best or even second to best photos. And it's not lack for of potential. I know the powers Sony holds and sadly suppressed.
-DVS. Kind of cool.
-Battery bigger?? The device is significantly larger and the battery is only 180mah bigger. It's even bigger than their flagship from 4 years ago that still had practically the same battery size in a 7.2mm thin and smaller package.
-Again. It better cost less. Everything in it costs less. Hardware, software, r&d, materials, marketing, accessories, customer service, etc. If it cost anywhere near the same it would be shameless over charging.

AnonD-742566, 05 Mar 2018Nobody buys a phone because it lacks a headphone jack. Man... moreThe worse part is people actually defending it... like are even capable of using your brain??? Like fine...You think you don't need it...until you run into a situation where you need it...But where does that make it a good thing for them to take it away??? You're not getting a bigger battery, extra feature, better audio, or cheaper device. It's literally just to rip us off and screw you over when you need it and it's not there...
And people defend it!! I mean clearly though we knew people were like this already. Apple is still leading the market with these types of stradegies...And being praised and defended for it.

Nobody buys a phone because it lacks a headphone jack. Many people will NOT buy a phone that lacks one. It makes absolutely no sense for all these companies to omit headphone jacks on their phones. They can't charge 3rd parties for the use of proprietary connectors like apple can. The pointlessness of this is the most infuriating part since they obviously weren't hurting for space if they could fit a feature as stupid as their new haptic transducer.
I was a long-time fan of Sony's phones but I believe I'm done buying them.

Well, they should ve made room for the jack. with a single mm more for tze jack, it would be a much better design for my taste, and wallet.
But as it is, my taste and wallet just disagree with those 6 mm.

Tann Hauser, 05 Mar 2018I am not half way anything. Headphone jack ommitance IS a... moreThe XZ2 less bezel and with 6mm side frame which is hardly arranging the 3.5mm jack and it will look weird meaning untidy (remember the camera power button, volume rocker, and shutter buttons all mounted at it left frame is a tidy design) if the side frame protruding the 3.5mm jack when holding the phone in landscape mode must feel the protruding jackhole. For massive entertainment, a wireless headphone also improve the holding in landscape mode because of no more wire and get better freedom. Furthermore, let 's looking forward be positive "What is the future tech adopted by Sony?" Wireless Charging Qi with Qnovo charging technology and Wireless/NFC headphone with LDAC technology and etc...It also a product differentiation compared to XZ Premium & XZ1.

No hdr video, no hdr upscaling, more pricey...
Only thing innovative on S9 is...dual aperture,...and animojis?
XZ2 has X reality first HDR upscale, first 10bit HDR 4K video, dedicated Bionz ISP, DVS, front 3Dscanner, along with bigger qnovo protected battery...all for even less price.

Headphone jack ommitance IS a mistake.
Everything else here is a smart design move by Sony, no matter if I dont like unpracticality of curved back, 18:9 ratio, or back fp scanner...those are just my preferences to avoid, not dealbrakers.
And seems most phone buyers dont care for practical, but fashionable, else Xperias would have more sales prior, with previous design.
And Sony needs more sales, simple as that...
Will the mistake of jack less slap them with reality, is yet to be seen.
