Tann Hauser, 19 Oct 2017Cant wait for Oreo on my X Performance. Batterylife already... moreSaying of updates, I am not sure if people who is using XPERIA XZs like me will get to update to a newer version one version ahead of ANDROID OREO as the final big update, since it is like a slight refresh from my daily driver XPERIA XZ, with a new camera, more memory and a newer ANDROID version one version ahead of XPERIA XZ during its release. I doubt XPERIA XZ will get the next ANDROID version after ANDROID OREO, well I already have some Z series that is out of updates already; XPERIA Z1 XPERIA Z2 and XPERIA Z3, which shows 2 years later there will be no more updates, maybe there will still be Security Patch Updates, idk. But I am not sure if XPERIA XZs will get because it have the same processor that is from XPERIA XZ's year, so I have some doubts that Google will have some incompatibility again or something. Can u figure it out though Tann?

    AnonD-704412, 19 Oct 2017Sony's Xperia XZ Premium will receive the update to Android... moreCant wait for Oreo on my X Performance. Batterylife already improved about 30% with updates, am sure it will be even more with Oreo. :-)

      Nautica77, 18 Oct 2017So have all the updates fixed all the problems?? As in WiF... moreYup. WiFi and BT stability improved with .137 build. If persistant, turn SmartCleaner off, it does keep your phone clean and tidy, but usses more battery and clears system cache constantly so can produce slower multitasking and connectivity issues.

          Sony's Xperia XZ Premium will receive the update to Android 8.0 Oreo in December. That's at least true for units sold in Japan, the company's home country, since that's where the information comes from. In other parts of the globe, the rollout may start sooner than that, or later. WOHOO YES!

            This will improve what Sony has failed to do. Possibly for games, but sadly the screen performance will noticeably degrade, as Sony has been unable to solve this issue. and after many complaints Sony declared that they will focus on quality to improve it, lets contemplate for better mobile future.

                  AnonD-392500, 16 Oct 2017There are bloatwares, even more than galaxy phones. Bloatw... moreYes, you are correct. Unfortunately, Sony phones have the most Bloatware. Even worse, is that this software can't be uninstalled and soon slows things down and lag and stuttering occurs.

                  This is quite strange as most other brands allow you to uninstall the factory bloatware.

Furthermore, the Sony already use Qnovo for it smartphone but Vaio doesn't. After Xperia had adopt Qnovo do you heard any explode news? IF NOT, why you can trolling Sony with Qnovo technology? and the iphone 8 battery swelled why you dont troll it? why Samsung Note 7 explode you dont troll it?

                      AnonD-481725, 18 Oct 2017As usual poor references, your fake stories aren't related ... moreHere is some info for you from phonearena about Sony's ongoing camera distortion flaws.

                      "Users have started to complain and report a lens distortion issue with the new flagships.
                      Apparently, there's some trouble there. User posts on the official Sony Mobile forums as well as on XDA Developers show numerous pictures of test grids and other everyday objects that should appear straight. However, they do not. And the issue is not just around the edges of the photographs — there seems to be a concentric ripple effect going through the image with only the middle being perfectly straight and the other portions suffering some form of distortion.

                      This is unflattering to faces, as it can contribute to “big nose” or “egghead” effect and is definitely not ideal for capturing simple compositions where there isn't much going on to distract the brain.

                      Alas, the distortion seems to be here to stay for this generation of Sony flagships. Maybe it will be fixed with the next models ?"

                        Still don't believe, then do a Google search with "Sony 2017 battery recall"or "exploding Sony batteries" to read hundreds of complaints and thats as serious as you can get.

                        Here it is again, about Sony's ongoing exploding battery recalls from 2006. 15 recalls in total. This is the current recall....

                        Unlike you, I don't give an opinion, I give hard facts from recognized sites. You opinion is useless here againt the USA Govt Consumer Product Safety Comission. I'm sorry if the truth upsets you so much, but my advice is to just accept the truth and just move on in life.

                          You made me think that instead of focusing on smartphone issues we should take care of human issues.

                                Your link also said “Best Smartphone of 2016” was Samsung Galaxy S7. Thats the "BEST" phone for the ENTIRE YEAR of 2016. Best phone for 2017 has NOT been given yet and you can bet that Sony will NOT receive that award.

                                2015 MWC Best Smartphone was Apple iPhone 6.
                                2014 MWC Best Smartphone was Samsung Galaxy S5.
                                2013 MWC Best Smartphone was HTC One.
                                2012 MWC Best Smartphone was Samsung Galaxy S3.
                                2011 MWC Best Smartphone was Samsung Galaxy S2.

                                Wow, incredible, Samsung has won the MWC "BEST" Smartphone of the year 4 times over the past 6 years !

                                  Sony is quite the opposite and just denies known faults. Although its 14 million exploding battery recall from 2006 is still ongoing.
