AnonD-789897, 08 Sep 2018oh really sc@msung fanboy.....Is your wanna compare, camera on the Sony Ericsson K700 introduced in 2004, at that time, was unbeatable. I took a selfie on it and people kept asking what digital camera i used. I told them i took the pic with a phone. Everyone couldn't believe it.
And, yes. I'm a Sony fanboy - i can't help it cuz Sony PlayStation was my life for many, many years growing up, then came Ps2 and that was the end of the road for me - i don't use a Sony phone cuz i can't afford it. I think Sony just make phones to keep the fanboys happy. Since Samsung and Apple are dominating in that area, also not to mention all the Chinese competition, i guess Sony just don't wanna get into it.

Long-term review but you should trust a part. Reviewers have a lot of devices, so they can use it day by day as an usual user (I mean using time is not enough, even they claim they used those devices for 30 days or 60 days). I have been using XZ2 for 5 months and 'smoothness' is not a word for this device. Laggy, yes, it has though it doesn't often occur. Today, I just took my phone, unlocked with finger print, swiped down to view wifi and bum, it freezed totally. I had to hard reset to restart my phone. I admit that my phone has no hardware problem since I beggin using it, but as a flagship, it makes me disappointed.
On youtube, I saw so many comments under many videos such as "sony is the best" or "sony is king". But I think they are all sony fanboy who never forget the past and face to current smarphone market. Sony makes good phones, but they aren't comparable to SS or Apple flagship. Exp: 960 fps, a such useless function while there is no normal slow motion like 120/240fps. Does almost normal users really need it? No and no.

DanishBeacon, 19 Jul 2018Im always amazed when i read abt sony smartphones how this ... moreSony have game console, camera, TV, Music, mobile division for entertainment product..
If their mobile division prod (Xperia) have the same quality of others division for the built-in camera, music, display, the other division won't sold well..
So mobile division create products that wont outperform others products, but give the almost reach the quality..
BTW XZ2 support connect to PS4 Remote Play..
And also they P-OLED display panel in XZ3 can't outperform TV division, because the size of the display for daily use a TV is a TV, phone display is not a TV..
FYI, other manufacturers like Samsung, Xiaomi, Samsung, Apple dont have division like Sony, so they can make their phones best..

why bessels are no no for sony phones and fine on other phone manufacturers. why it is that if a new feature is first released by sony, it becomes a gimmick for sony phones once it was copied by other manufacturers.... tsk tsk tsk.

Funny, to me, is that you all decry missing 3.5 jack. The reason I started using wireless headphones was that my L3 compact had widely known issue with the 3.5 headphone jack.
Better to leave it out than to put on cheap easily borked one. And, personally, wireless is better for clumsy me, accidentally pulling on a wire all the time :D

Im always amazed when i read abt sony smartphones how this company is continuing to fail to produce a simple, good-looking and attractive smartphone.
Smartphone part of Sony Co. seams to be menaged by old and tired people.
This is the same company that produces the best camera sensors in the world but still is unable to produce a good camera smartphone.
They build their legacy on Sony Walkman but are removing the headphone jack and they do not even have descent music platfom even if there is something called Sony Music!
Why all of this shit is not intergtated into sony devices like PS4 controller on Z3?
Company is so fragmented that is obviously easier to earn money selling sensors and electronic parts to competitors than to produce a sublime audio/photo smartphone with your own parts.
... I better stop here.

A really good all in all but I just can't accept they made such a thick phone and were still not able to accommodate a 3.5 mm headphone jack. Or the phone shouldn't have been this thick to begin with

I think the 18:9 display ratio trends will be the shortest trends and soon the more taller trends and notch trends will help people hate their shorter finger and thumb. XZ2 compact retain the perfect size for one hand usage and the 18:9 display ratio other 18:9 display flagships are not for one hand usages and stretching finger all day long like a dupe.

Honestly, I prefer 16:9 ratio. It is sharper than 18:9, which makes the screen longer, hence more expensive.
