Anonymous, 03 Mar 2018I don't want wireless charge & glass back panel is deal... moreI can say "ok" for your desires..

Everyone has their own desires, so thats okay..

But every company, not only sony also have their own desires to build their products..

That's why their choosing materials and features to be included in their smartphone make the consumers love or not..

For sony, i think they have choose the right way for their smartphone..

With LCD, so they dont have a more space for they camera and dynamic vibration system, then the bezel can not reduced more..

With wireless charging module, so when the phone in wet condition just because of water, the phone can be charged safely with wireless charging adapter.
And wireless charging is more modern than wire charging (maybe the other company will have its feature in the future)..
That's why they ditched 3.5 mm jack to wireless connectivity for the music pleasure.. because Sony has the technology for wireless music pleasure..

With glass on the back, so the phone will be more modern than polycarbonate plastic as well, you see xperia XZ Premium for example..

IMHO

    Tann Hauser, 03 Mar 2018Yeah, a big mistake on the jack thing. But looking overall... morei mean even you can kind of see they definitely ripped off from HTC? Surely not even sony fanboys (not even me) can deny this. The design is not ugly but it's not very original from sony. And hTC does it at 7.9mm thinner than Sony which is really thick at 11.1mm.

    it has a few nice innovations but it could have done more for sure. the panel is great but im sure samsungs still edges out until JDI releases their own OLED panels.

    the issue here is that its not original and no headphone jack. I refuse to buy a headphone jacless phone from literally any company. ANd if im gonna upgrade im upgrading to the XZ1 and not the XZ2. or waiting for Sony's flagship at IFA which im sure will be better than this crap. Its just disappointing cuz sony should be leading the way not followign. 4k hdr is nice but still 3d and vibration thing are gimmicks.

      Bet you couldn't guess which phone won the best smart phone of MWC 2018, it's the Sony xperia XZ2, it's official, if you don't believe me Google it yourself

        Too much complaint about the design. I myself don't want to complaint about the design but the back is look like HTC. Curved back doesn't look elegant, flat looks more classy. And camera looks like doesn't have much improvements except 4K HDR recording.

                This year, 2019 (maximum) is last year for part of Sony's smart phones and it doesn't matter it's Japanese or Chinese or Martin!! Weather they like or dislike it Xperia XZ Pro or premium is last arrow in their box! BTW, if I tell you why they removed 3.5mm jack.h you answer probably it was too: it's neo trend or before since we'd removing 3.5mm in past in Motorola's smartphone! The interesting matter it's: if I tell you why they used f/2.0 in rear cam! If I tell you f/1.8/1.7/1.6/1.5 is most necessary needs for Sony's cameras!! What's you answer you logical reasons..

                  Anonymous, 03 Mar 2018XZ2 dont have 3d creator on front cam, only xz2 compact. Yo... moreYes XZ2 does have 3D scanner with AR integration, much advanced feat than simple animojis creator.
                  Yes, DVS is great for gaming and apps, its a proactive haptic feedback, not passive dependant on the app as all till now. Its a DualShock PS controller feature on a phone now. Expect some dedicated games for that. Not a gimmick at all...or you think every smartphones vibration system is a gimmick too?
                  Super slo mo... you can call it unsufficient, but it is the only one available on a smartphone so far, so it is best as it is.
                  And yeah, headphone jack.
                  Although everything else is great on this phone, I am not givin money for it, exactly because of that.

                    AnonD-481725, 03 Mar 2018That if it was a Chinese or Korean product but it is actual... moreJapanese..!?? I guess it's another Japanese ceremonies:
                    19 MP *f/2.0* centenarian actually..

                      pkbl, 03 Mar 2018are u out of your mind!!!! 1. when did i say that having a... more1. You said "The spec you were talking about was all software".Think about it. Samsung has too many softwares than what could sony offer on their unit upon First turning on the unit. Furthermore. The Samsung galaxy S9 and S9+ still has headphone jack while this brand new unit from sony doesn't have any headphone jack. And since both of them should have qualcomm 845 chipsets. Both of them would get APTX audio support. But this round goes for samsung because of the existing headphone jack.
                      2. Well then. Back to the issue of having a stereo speakers. Just like what you said. You use a headphone while on a public areas. So let me ask you. What's the point of having a stereo speakers?
                      3. "I never mentioned about anyone copying any one" Then why did you say "not copying everything that Apple or Samsung does"? You're pointing the fact that samsung is now copying apple and apple is now copying samsung.
                      According to the links you gave. It only shows how stupid you are to believe in their companies stupidity. Since Xperia Z up to last years Xperia XZ premium. They've been designing the same smartphones with no changes at all. While other brands have include fingerprint sensor under the screen, Triple stereo speakers, wireless charging, daydream VR, infinity display, wireless charging, and even more. This year's sony flagship. They've taken only three steps forward. Such as Bigger display, wireless charging, and even dynamic vibration speaker. But also Three steps back. No headphone jack, moving of the fingerprint sensor on the middle back, and moving the camera and sensor in the middle!

                      If you remember. There are lot of rumors about sony's upcoming XZ pro.

                      Many have believe that this would be announced on MWC. But when sony announced XZ2 and XZ2 compact. Many have expressed hatred! Check the comment section on this video:

                      Against S9 and S9+ too many features. What does XZ2 stands out for except for the camera and the software update support?

                        AnonD-537624, 03 Mar 2018Rumour is note 9 or s10 won't have it Oneplus 6 won't hav... moreWell, keeping the jack is entirely on the manufacturer choice, and is in no way a con for anything.
                        So I guess jack less is a stupid trend, just as the notch.
                        I will buy jack phones as far as them exist, even if it be midrangers.

                          Anonymous, 03 Mar 2018Around $450 was worth it..That if it was a Chinese or Korean product but it is actually a Japanese.

                            -The XZ2 front is less bezel (Galaxy Note doesn't have less bezel),
                            -The XZ2 front has 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection (Galaxy Note doesn't have the 2.5D display)
                            -The XZ2 front has dual front firing stereo speaker and the speaker bar design is a mash up the Z2 and Z3 designs. (Galaxy Note only has an ugly mono speaker on it back.)
                            -The XZ2 front sensor arrangement is well balanced (Galaxy Note has a sensor on its top and the hardware home button at its bottom it is not balanced at all)
                            https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_note_n7000-pictures-4135.php

                            -The XZ2 back cover design is a UFO/plate shape and its back cover is balanced form the center, that's why it can find an X shining (HTC U11 DOESN'T show shining an X because it is much flat at its bottom and the upper is thicker and curved.)
                            -The XZ2 back cover arrange all the sensors line up centered and the fingerprint scanner is at the exact center of the phone (HTC U11 back cover sensor arrangement is at the upper side and this kind of sensors arrangement adopt by most China brands)
                            -The XZ2 adopt the 3D-rolled Gorilla Glass 5 that gently curves around the edges (HTC U11 upper is curve design but it bottom design is TOTALLY FLAT it is not balanced.)
                            -Both Galaxy Note and HTC U11 are rounded than the XZ2 base on its corners.

                                I like the phone for Sony revamping its design language. it takes a lot for a manufacturer to get rid of its trademark build to follow and keep up with trends. The decision to place the camera where it is is strange however, I don't really know why Sony did this. Interested to see PS$ integration though as that's a huge opportunity for Sony. Otherwise just price that can make or break this for me.

Yes, both of them have curved backs. But the curvature is different in the XZ2, hence the reason it reflects light differently than the HTC. Seriously, just because the back is curved doesn't mean the design was stolen by Sony. It's 2018 and we've come to the point where all phones are starting to become slabs of glass on metal frames, and now with the whole "bezel less" trend going on, phones are starting to looking similar to each other. One could say we've reached the pinnacle of smartphone design.
