Sony Xperia XZ3 review

13 September 2018
Few phones can claim they caused quite as big of a stir as the Xperia XZ3. After Sony dropped its first curved OLED Xperia, seemingly out of the blue at IFA 2018, reactions have ranged from overwhelming excitement, through confusion and all the way to denial and anger. That's a level of drama typically reserved for soap operas or celebrity gossip and it all spells out one thing - a massive wave of exposure for Sony.

      Tann Hauser, 15 Sep 2018Now, read my comment again, from the start, very slowly...Hey buddy, stop feeding the troll, Sony flagships always have a lot of posters here trying to badmouth it, I don't like the fact that Sony is starting to look like another samsung phone however they will always have their own little ways to distinguish themselves away from the others.

                    Tann Hauser, 15 Sep 2018There, you read it right now. And furthermore about that o... moreYeah and you can change the display settings of samsung to be more natural too and they are incredibly accurate if tweaked properly, so what is the point? Besides it's not that samsung can't make natural displays, it is the public which likes saturated displays where color pops out. Display preference varies from reviewer to reviewer too, with majority preferring natural looking ones, and I am not denying that sony made a good display, on contrary it is quite the opposite, their TV's are the best so I do have faith that they would have made a great smartphone display, unfortunately though, it came a year too late... Ironically apple, which for all intents and purpose was strongest proponent of LCDs till iphone x caved in a year earlier, so why was sony so late despite of their OLEDs being the best?

                            Trolls by definition are people undermining the subject, causing debate deviation. Samsung screen fboys are trolls here, causing Sony fans and fboys to react.
                            So, you are the troll here.
                            Get your definitions right.

                              And furthermore about that oled screen, this guys comment sums it up preety nicely...its all about the sum of those settings, not measured numbers:

                              No wonder people liked this one more than all others, when put side by side to choose the best looking one...

                                [deleted post]He's one of the most famous Sony-troll around. He used to compare Sony's manual mode's 1-sec exposure shots with other phones automatic mode shots, even there the other phones wiped the floor with Sony.

                                Sony however needs users like him, to survive, well not really, they are dead anyway.

                                However in all honesty, this device does look good, will still check for DPReview to cover it, if they bother to at first place.

                                  Here. From being vehemently against it, now you went to don't care route. Besides GSMA has concrete numbers, market has concrete numbers, and just because this weird video says something we should refute them? Are you serious? now you'll say that numbers can be manipulated, so find some that are relevant to argument and show them, while at it, please find sales numbers too...
