Who cares about prolonged Sot if you have a powerbank?
Who cares if it have Qnovo battery tech if it takes too long to charge? People don't like slow charging android phones.

You say tons. But you only mentioned about battery life! Here's tons of features that sony doesn't have but the samsung s8, s8+ and note 8 have
1. Bezel less display.
2. 128GB internal storage.
3. Wireless charging technology.
4. Both the S8 and S8+ are daydream certified.
5. All 3 units are perfectly designed for split screen task
6. Iris scanner
7. Note 8 has dual camera lenses
8. All 3 have Samsung Desktop Experience support.
9. All 3 have 32-bit/384kHz audio. Which is louder audio system.

So in the end. S8, S8+ and the note 8 has something of offer tha the sony.

    Tann Hauser, 11 Sep 2017Simply put, XZ1 has tons of features that S7 or S8, or Note... moreThe S7/S8 have the best battery life out of all FLAGSHIP smartphones. You won't get more than 6 hours SoT on a Pixel, an iPhone, an HTC U, an LG G/V-series or even on an XZ1/s/Premium. My S7 is already one year old and I haven't seen a noticeable reduction in battery life.

    The only thing the XZ1 has that the S7 doesn't is that gimmicky 3D creator and useless 960fps slomo video. The S7 has way way more advantages over the XZ1.

      My only problem with Sony is those huge bezels and small screen size :( Don't know if Sony have any phone with at least 5.7", I'd love anything around 6".

      And woahhh look at battery 2700mAh :(

        Dazzatruth, 10 Sep 2017I cant see many people buying this with far better phones a... moreSo, in your mind, less bezel alone equals a better phone?
        I guess then best phone award goes to UmiDigi S2, the best smartphone with unbelievable 300$ pricetag.

          Anonymous, 09 Sep 2017My S7 is one year old already and I'm still getting 6 hours... moreSimply put, XZ1 has tons of features that S7 or S8, or Note 8 dont have.

          My 6 mnth old X Performance has in average 6-7 hr SoT on LTE, having better batterylife. On wifi it can go up to 8-9 hr SoT. Funny thing is...it was like that half a year ago, it will be like that in half a year, and even after an extra year, so then it will still have better batterylife than any S7 or S8.Your S7 battery will degrade in half a year to 4-5 hr SoT, or maybe even go bust due to fast charging without control, as many users report. So you ll end up changing it, or, of course, getting a new Galaxy phone with new battery.
          While you doing all that, I ll still happily charge my 2700 mah battery that a bit longer, for the same 7 hr SoT.
          Thats the whole idea behind qnovo feature, onen of many that your phone doesnt have, and XZ1 has.

My sister buy a cheaper smartphone last year, she capture lowlight photos and I review it on computer, it is very very blur, the internet speed is slow, I aware when we do the video calling with Wahtsapp, the connecting speed is bad and the front camera image quality also very bad...., yes the cheaper smartphone can do a lot for job but it is lack of quality.

The phones you patronize look year 3000s but the quality couldn't even make to 3001s. how fool are you? being so judgmental on the outside not looking what's inside?

                            I cant see many people buying this with far better phones available and Sony's yet again square non design phone with large top and bottom bezels even the sides are thicker than the competition. Its just another xperia phone nothing new no curved screen like a lg flex 2 or a samsung s8 and note8 no cool iphone feeling with thin bezel and screen rap around front camera design. No this is really a ugly sony phone worser than the first xperia z series. It looks like a 2010 phone.

                                  1)xperia phones have qunovo adaptive tech, which means that even after two years the battery performance will be as good as new
                                  2)Galaxy s7 is not the only phone in the world which gets faster software updates.It is something that every manufacturer is doing to its flagship phones.
                                  3)we still are loyal fans to Sony because of front sterio speakers cause it gives a good gaming experience. And since it made xperia xz1 louder, its gonna be like 'cherry on the top'

                                    Anonymous, 09 Sep 2017My S7 is one year old already and I'm still getting 6 hours... moreYou need so many gimmick then you go for it, I have my demands doesn't same like you. Anyway my Z2 also get 6 hours screen on time.

                                    I also can disable unused apps in the settings for my Z2, but XZ1 is Oreo it have more efficiency and less drain the battery compare to previously versions.

                                    Cat.16 is not important then why you don't use cat.6 or even cat.4? Fyi mostly I use the data more than WiFi, I don't rely too much on WiFi, because I have my data plan. Even my cat.4 is still fast and snappy. Your S7 can be even faster, but the XZ1 with cat. 16 rule in the Internet speed.

                                    I don't want wireless charger that a gimmick, what I want is safer and more efficiency on charging. Sony listen to customer demand, they use the Qnovo adapting charging technology and battery care, even charge overnight hassle free, don't like any cheap charging tech to explode phone like I post the news before. I do love glass phone, my one is very durable and sturdy with unibody Aluminium frame. I don't believe samsung S7 will durable than it Active versions, S7 is even fragile than my Z2.

                                    I do care stereo speakers because it is front facing designs is more ergonomics for hearing, mono speaker just hidden at back or cover by hand in real life usage. The XZ1 have improve the loudness, it is awesome!

                                    My Z2 with quick charge 2.0 also take charging time almost 2 hour from 5% to full. I think the XZ1 with quick charge 3.0 must be even better.

                                    The rest I won't argue with you,
                                    those gimmicks too much doesn't means everything is good features. I change from Samsung to Sony because I know what I want.

Screen is only bested by two newer Samsung Galaxy flagships. Camera is still among best. Features are still unmatched. The S8 is just basically an incremental upgrade from the S7 and the S7 is far more powerful than 2017 midrange Samsung Galaxy releases. RAM is still the standard for current flagships, and processor is only topped by a few highend SoCs released this year. Midrange devices don't use last year's processor and RAM. They usually lag behind in power, quality and features last year's flagship by at least 2-3 years.

                                        this is the most beautiful and complete phone they have made so far. thank you sony for this. those of you wanting to have a "bigger battery" go buy a truck battery. how sony sucks juice is not the same as your O+ or samsung does. comparing who's better at battery life by just comparing the size of the battery is just plain ignorant. you just dont know how envious those companies are to sony because they can put smaller size batteries in their phones and still run for a day or more. try that putting on your 4000mah phones.
