Sony Xperia XZ3 hands-on review

30 August 2018
Sony has always had its own, rather unique approach to mobile design. Whether you liked the boxier look of old, favour the curves of the new "Ambient Flow" concept or don't really find either appealing, it is hard to ignore one irrefutable accomplishment of the Japanese design team - continuity.

      My Xperia Z3's glass cracked again (...2nd time). I like Sony but this is sheer design negligence and i don't intend to keep forking out for a new digitizer/glass replacement = repair costs.

          Hip hop king, 01 Sep 2018oh dear but I can name tons of features Xperia has and the ... moreOh yes mman. Poco offers equal speed for 300.
          Anything you named havent the value they asking for that phone and when was brand new i mean Sony it cost a lot more.
          So please as i said.
          Many people swithc new phones every 2-3 years in that case Poco will be worth 100 euros compared to brand new 1000 euros sony worth maybe 200 after 3 years.
          If both phones can last 2-3 years and they can the poco is much better option to get along with.

            And many companies dont use many things they make too....not among leaders in semiconductor or anything......just copy like apple or Chinese brand.....or in some things like any and all do to an extent.

                Anonymous, 01 Sep 2018This is not a dream right? Those guys are acting weirdI really have no idea what is going on here lol. For Tann he moved on from Sony I respect his decision, whereas for 60EZ I don't know what is going on with the "switching roles"...

                  I wonder if Chrome out of the box on this model allows for screenshots in incognito mode (??).

                            Just because something looks similar, they say it is a copy. Why are people so biased?

                              It's about time Sony moved to OLED.

                              This is the best design in the Xperia line-up to date but there are a few CONs with this device:

                              *4GB ram
                              *no 3.5mm jack
                              *$900 Price tag

                              For that price, it should come with more features.

                              It seems for $100 more you can just get the Note9 for more features.

It's a waste of resources. Your PC monitor you are using right now doesn't have straight color accuracy and that's not a problem either.

                                      "Sunlight legibility on the XZ2 Premium isn't great. It matches the previous Premium in contrast under direct light, but that's a pretty low bar, with virtually all competitors being at least a little better, and the likes of the Galaxy S9+ and iPhone X significantly so."
                                      loooool!!!!!!!!!
                                      ''The Xperia XZ2 Premium's display settings promise an accurate sRGB reproduction in the Professional mode, but we measured an average DeltaE of 4.1 - decent, but not all that accurate.''
                                      hahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
