They are just going on a different route that I really don't know what is going to happen, for the better or the worse

    sony's failure to satisfy customers is not caused by samsung. You guys should blame sony for not following to the current tech (like oled, slim bezel, ui improvement, etc)

With excellent control of the ISO, and great handling of the photos in very dark places like one of their cameras reaching until 400000+ ISO. When they introduced the Z lineup, there is definitely a lot expecting it to be taking excellent photos even in low-light like their cameras, but it wasn't the case. Currently this is how their camera goes, putting a normal software on a tanky equipment. If they want the high megapixel count approach, they should rework their camera software from the ground up

                Always the same story.
                Only solution for you Sammy fans is phone hard reset every 6 months or so.

                  xXENDER FREAKXx, 28 Dec 2017U are right. But the most important one is the camera softw... moreThe high MP count is the problem I think. Cramming all those pixels into such a small space and expecting the software to work miracles is a but much.

                  Plus having such a high MP count and constantly advertising that fact just encourages people to want to zoom in as much as possible to look at all that 'extra' detail, and that is where Xperia photos fall apart.

                  Up close their pictures do not look pretty, which is no surprise considering how little light (in all but the most ideal situations) that sensor is having to spread over all those small pixels.

                  Sony's software post processing has never been quite up to the task of effectively managing this situation, what ever they mean by "bionz for mobile" (bionz being actual hardware in Sony's stand alone camera range) is not the getting the job done to the standard it should.

                  A new approach is I would say required.

I dont think it will lags like their older phones. If you used their older phones like s7 you can feel it has minor lags even from start using it so it will lags after a year but if you used s8 it feels very different. Zero lags!

Overall sony has the most smoothest ui that I've seen, running on little ram but performance is similar to larger once. Camera of Sony is also great. Samsung already made its name taking nokia's position before, maybe its time for sony to rise up.

While s8 has deep blacks than little bit grainy blacks on xz. Yes maybe xz is not same line as s8, but theres no big difference between s7 edge and s8 on camera comparison if s7 edge that should be compaired with xz.
