Kind of disappointing Sony dropped the headphone jack when they offer great headphones and other media options/accessories. And to be perfectly honest, I don't care about portrait/bokeh mode cuz I don't take selfies everyday and I'm sure there's at least another person on this blue earth that agrees with me.
you didn't get the point. Sony built in a DAC and a sound processing unit they design in the correlation with Qualcomm. It must be supported with type C connection to be cable to work. A jack only gives you 3 pins, type C gives 18 pins. And your point in this case is inappropriate.
These guys are allways trying to make sony phones look bad and i just dont get it.. in this video they were more subtle, but they always seem to arrange some excuse to steer people in other direction..
I don’t get it. UA-camrs, especially ones working for renowned channels should just review the products and take out their personal biases. Start your personal channel and share your thoughts. Like Max from Apple Insider, or Brian Tong. We know most companies pay for reviews and even send out “review units and review guides” to direct what you say or can’t say. I would prefer a balance review that allows customers to choose freely and not be steered toward any product.
Joseph Aquino at least that would be fair statement tho. I meant the thing is actually ugly imho. Sony doesn’t learn. From horrible names to weird design. 😂
Marx Domah That's your opinion. Apparently, we're on different side of the coin and it's really subjective. I find it pleasing, but not to the point of buying it, yet. Sure, even I see other designs more pleasing, but I really don't find it ugly. Overall, Xperia is the first thing that come up to my mind when it comes to phones. Next is Nokia, which also has a fair share of fanboys and bashers. We should live by it and buy what works for us... Not what looks good to others. Cheers.
This phone cost 950$ here, while the s9 cost 330$, both prices are on contract. So do explain why you think this phone is better then a s9 when it cost almost tripple...
It is... Now The Second Hand Units are Available for Cheap as $150.. Planning to Buy One Soon.. Only Concern is Battery life. 3300 Looks kinda Small to This Big High Res Display
Why the hell is this guy putting down the phone and saying gimmicks. A lot of the "gimmicks" Sony started like water resistance, 960 fps slow motion and auto multi-capture (predictive capture) to name a few, but when Samsung and other manufacturers copy these darn reviews don't refer to those as gimmicky or say they are coping. I have a XZ1 now and if I followed these idiots I would have been missing out on a very excellent phone. Side note, the XZ3 isn't one of the first phone to be lunch with Android P, it is the first phone, even launching with P before the Google Pixel line of phone for 2018.
@RoseWolfz Prime I'm leaning to agree with because all these so call reviewer always give Sony phones a bad rep even when Sony start a trend that they can't live without (water resistance). Unbox therapy don't even review Sony phones and so far the XZ3 screen looks better than the note 9 and the iPhone Xs.
Lol screen resolution is not everything mate😂. Look how the iPhone XR is selling. The thing is Sony doesn’t give you value for your money. Other flagships take a whole year to release one phone and they do it right but Sony takes 6 months and they never learn from their mistakes. For 900 dollars, I should be getting a great portrait mode, better zoom, great gesture mapping and a fingerprint placement that doesn’t look awkward. I’m not saying the competition is perfect but they do learn from their mistakes. My advice mate, you are too loyal to Sony and it makes you blind to their obvious faults. Go use a Samsung or a pixel 3 cos you deserve better. You won’t regret it.
I'll definitely be buying this phone really soon. Absolute amazing phone. Completely underated and deserve more recognition. This also only costs €579.99 in Ireland with Three mobile network.
You obviously don't know where these two you are talking about are coming from. There was a time when Sony, LG and HTC where big too in this market. Samsung and Apple just made it better. They are more interesting. It's not just about the marketing. The proof is that everybody wants to be them and unfortunately it's not working for them because they just create lesser quality clones.
Guys if you love music quality and display gets this phone asap because the display is OLED and I've owned many phones already but Sony offers sound and display quality at its finest.
I am Sony boi watching with my XZ Premium...what i am dislike about this Sony new flagship to be honest is the camera and fingerprint location..i am aggree with Phone Arena its little bit lower...i am realy love my XZ Premium camera location...
Really liking this phone, and since I've been wanting to try a Sony phone for years I just might take the plunge this time. My main gripe about it is that, at least here in the U.S., its wildly overpriced for what you get compared to its competitors. Since I'm not planning on buying anything until closer to the holidays, I'm hoping the price comes down around Black Froday/Cyber Monday - if I could get this for around $650 - $700 I think I'd go ahead and grab it.
Sony create world's first phone that can render the SDR videos to near HDR level quality.. Samshit can't do that.. Im not even thinking twice, even thinking one and a half times to buy this phone as soon as it release... As smart guy, i only wanted best wireless audio player with sony's HI- RES,cau'se we live in wireless ERA (2018).no.1 best display and xperience on multimedia. ONLY SONY WHO GOT THAT.
@@ibrar1001 yeah bro.. This xz3 is not sony's first capable of upscale sdr to HDR. Even sony ips display is capable also and brilliant. and This oled on XZ3 is only added lot dead-dark pitch in black colour. going to the next level
Don't support the idea or no jack option. That's what the manufacturers want you to believe, that you dont need it like when Apple removed the cd/dvd and other ports.
@indigoal3n stfu if you hate Sony. None of your points make sense. You're purely a desperate hater. Sony is a very reliable brand next to apple and Samsung. And the bezels aren't that big like you're describing. The z3 is far better than the shit phones you've mentioned. So stfu!!!!!
@indigoal3n how do you know all that things, you mentioned that you have an lg g7, a very pretty smartphone, but if you dont have a sony xz3 how do you know if the sound quality of g7 is better? You know that sony has one of the best sound quality in their products and sony xz3 is not exception... Besides that, sony xz3 its an incredible inovation, lg g7 is its an incredible copy off another phones like samsung (design, AI button), apple (notch, dual camera) and huawei(AI post processing)... Im not saying that g7 isnt a good samartphone, it is. The 3.5mm jack is not there and as you said " no headphone jack, yet they're a music powerhouse of the whole world, makes zero sense, especially that MP3 was Experia's major feature back in the day, Sony and music and headphones go together like peanut butter and jelly!"- you are completly true, but they removed it because they want to show us that they earbuds have the best sound quality and the best wireless conection (some tests show us that ear pods of apple fail a few times in a day while sony earbuds dont fail) You said that xz3 dont have a sd card port, but it has! I dont know where did you heard such a stupid thing! Dont compare g7 to xz3 because xz3 its more advanced... If you are going to compare xz3, compare it with s9, iphone xs max, mate 20 pro and mi 8 explorer edition!
@Spaniard King I'm gonna pick on up this phone also, if you'd had Sony products before,they leave a lasting impression very unique. This will be my first Sony phone and it 99% likely to be my favorite android phone ever. And I had Google,Motorola,ZTE,Samsung and iphones,but no one does it like sony
@Spaniard King iPhones are Meh,very boring to use. Not sure how people can go years of just using iPhone. I'd imagine Sony is like stock Android with just the right amount of features,not overwhelming like Samsung.
Great review. Phone seems really nice,,, really dig stereo speakers facing front. All the specs seem good. 6 hours battery is fine for my use. Higher definition phones always use batt faster. Probably even AMOLED. Not thrilled with the glass back,,,thats getting old. Grippy material or the ceramic matt finish is more practical and just as appealing to me. Price.... Stil to high but I'm a person that thinks No phone should cost more than 700 tops. And even that is higher than what I d pay. 4 to 5 is my limit. And for that I'd expect quality, good metal build etc. There's no excuse these days for less. Nokia is keeping it real, price and quality and features wise. Love that Sony is using stereo speakers though. Thanks again,,very thorough.
In terms of color reproduction, and accuracy, a bit debatable. Phonearena measures Delta E errors that are over 3.59 for RGBCMY, and 7.54 for Grayscale (Anything below 3 is considered good and unnoticable to the eye) Gamma is around 1.81 which makes shadows appear brighter than they should. (Ideal target is 2.2 to 2.4) Only Iphone measures below 3 for Delta E with gamma hitting at 2.2. Color temperature/White balance isn't accurate and measures around 7990K. (6504K is the ideal) This makes whites and colors look more bluish and cold looking, which to be fair is a common problem for most devices. (The Iphone xs and S9 measure 6644K and 6890K respectively) At least you can manually get rid of the blue tint on the Sony and Samsung by using the adjustment sliders by bringing up the reds and greens a bit. Overall, I can see why apple scores highly in color display as their displays are calibrated before being shipped. On the Sony, it's kinda of a hit or miss, that may require manual tweaking in order to reduce the blue tint for best results. Other than that, I do like the Sony more once it's properly calibrated.
Excuse me. I work at Best Buy, and the phone available to buy there. Do your research before making assumptions. This channel is nothing but biased towards Apple products.
Every time I watched this channel review a Sony phone, they have nothing better to say but to bash it no matter how good the phone is. Go check Amazon and BestBuy for a more accurate review. The PhoneArena channel is praise only on iPhone and Samsung, probably those company donate money to them for a good words.
Not really faster than Samsung and LG in terms of release time. They have been releasing flagships every 6 months as well: Galaxy S and LG G series in Spring and Galaxy Note and LG V series in Fall.
I'm thrilled about the front facing speakers and the fact that they didn't go with the notch I'm sad that they got rid of the 3.5 millimeter headphone jack when was too small of a battery in for that price point only one camera. Sony has made their own cameras and should have a wide angle lens.
Watching this in 4K on my XZ Premium and i think I'll be upgrading once the XZ3 Premium comes out. Here is why: - 4K OLED Bravia Display - Next Gen Snapdragon with 7nm Process - 6 or 8 Gigabytes of ram - Dual Fusion Camera sensor improvements from the XZ2P - 128 gb storage - 4K HDR 60fps Recording (Currently only 30fps) This is a great phone already and so the XZ3P will be the one that puts sony as the undisputed king of Android spec-wise.
I like to try this phone. I still have my Xperia Z3 which is still working great. Partner has the z5 which has had problems but hope its just the phone not a z5 issue.
I don't get the buzz of OLEDs. I think the XZ2PREMIUM's display is one of if not then the best panel out there right now. 4k, HDR, really accurate (when calibrated), large, bright, great colours if you need them, vibrant when you need it, flat when you need it plus there will never be any colour shift or screen burn problems inherent to OLED
A good review as usual - but what is an "ounce" of weight to most in the planet? If you're using (oddly) a non-metric system you could at least state the equivalent in grams so that most would understand.
I am using xperia xz 2016 version. main issue- over heating, low battery longevity, camera apps shuts down due to over heat within minutes... I guess its made for the Siberian climate zones. Only great thing about Xperia left is timely Software updates. May be/Should be best after Pixels & close to Nokia.
I like that their phones had sharp clean rectangular line I think it made them look slick and they were different from all the other phones that all look the same. I don't like they are doing this more curve design now they just look like every other phone.
They do have plans of bringing the new gesture to its Xperia Launcher. And I believe that it isn't just Android Pie users who'll benefit to that. Nearly all Xperias will recieve the new update.
throughout the video you were comparing it with iphone x latest series and note 9. and at the end you're saying we need more at the price range of 900USD that too with headphones and wireless. Why everyone praises ios and not the UI of Sony its way better than Note 9 and most of the android phones in the market. I love design and i hate notch
Sony had strong fundamental that will never copy anyone... after numberous of concept and design they just reaching an end to create new look that have sony dna from the pass... Now.. they look like samsung and HTC combine.. sad
when sony releasing same old OmniBalance design everyone is complaining and saying that's boring boxy sharp design, then sony changes its design to ambient flow design then people still complaining and saying that the phone is look a like samsung or htc, its really funny
Actually they only used Omni-balance design on Xperia Z /Z1, Z1 compact, and up to Z5 Premium. After that they actually changed the design. To loop design, and unified design.
I don't understand your logic... HTC+Samsung = Samsung? No HTC+Samsung= HTC? No Math Error HTC+Samsung= Sony? Ok but still unique, besides, Ambient Flow was inspired by SE Vivaz and other SE phones.
This review is so biased. I am a sony boy but i am not blindly buying anything cause i am fan. Here sony has done some real innovation than other companies. They have always introduced something new to their phone than doing same thing every year like iphone and Samsung jusy increasing the specs every year with software updates. Sony has introduced so many new things to its phones every year like dynamic vibration, oled screen, 4k hdr shooting, super slow motion at 1080p, newly improved stereo speakers, side sense(still developing), low light and black and white camera in xz2 premium.
Still too big for me. I just want 1080p 16:9 XZ3 Compact, Five inch body. I don't like curved back or slippery material. I like rectangular brick chocolate bar design like XZ1 compact with bezeless. (80% screen to body without notch) Please, make one for me.
I dunno why people r so worried about the FPS on sony,... is it because that’s the only drawback here ( not to forget the 3.5mm jack )else a perfect phone I guess
Total Sony fanboy and this phone might well be on the cards. One thing I've always had issues with on Sony phones is the screen rotation,don't know why but it can be quite infuriating.
I wish they'd put the fingerprint back on the side. I had a hard time deciding between the XZ2 and V35 a week ago and just couldn't over the fingerprint scanner placement. I love Sony's implementation of Android so much more than LGs so this was a huge let down for me. Wish they had fixed it with this model.
@@indy33333indy I have the phone too and I have the issue along with a lot of people. It's only really noticeable when your playing a game like pubg or a fps. Maybe golf clash
i have: nokia lumia 1020 , samsung note edge , LG V20 , sony xa1 , sony xa1 ultra , sony xz premium . best phone XZ premium . best pic and video recording 1- XZ premium 2- XA1 ultra . best concert recording 1- XZ premium 2- lumia 1020 & LG V20 . best display XZ premium has 4k ! however the Note Edge is my favorite samsung phone with its excellent S-Pen great for art and video editing. the XZ premium has an excellent 3D scanner which can scan in faces, heads and objects that can be exported as obj. files with texture maps that can be used in 3D animation software like Maya. the V20 and Edge have excellent useful secondary displays.
Premium version will have better dynamic range and XZ2 Premium is a proof of that. XZ3 Premium will throw these ishits and pixels off the park as there will be dual cam and wider aperture
How does it do playing UA-cam Videos? I'm using a Samsung J7 Sky Pro right now and if I try and watch a youtube video on the max setting of 720p 60fps the screen flashs black 2-3 times before it goes completely black and I'm left with audio only, this is something I'll have to research for my next phone.
I think if this phone had the fingerprint scanner on the side as my XZP, and the headphone jack, it would be perfect. Best sound, best screen, Japanese quality...
Why do I always feel that Xperia phones aren't quite worth their price tag.. I get a similar feeling about every HTC phone that came after the One series. I don't know, maybe it's One Plus's fault.
Always wanted a sony but as always their camera software or the algorithms they use just never hit the mark and i cant understand why. Sony make among the best camera's in the world and should be setting the bar for all manufacturers to follow but yet they've had this on going issue for years with ALL their phone's software algorithms and they never seem to want sort it...Same goes for battery life its just mediocre.. Yet the price their asking for this device is ridiculous.. Considering you can get the Huawei mate 20 pro with better everything for the same money or less.. If Sony spent the time on their camera software and ironed out the algorithms the same as Google has done with the pixel 3, just imagine how amazing the outcome would be...
Flasgship phones are dead. The XA 2 Ultra is actually the better buy. I get over 9 hours of SOT and bigger battery! Performance is on point! Can't lie! I'll have to say the XA Ultra is the better buy and smartphone. It's still worth buying now in 2019. Plus it's only $199 at Best Buy. Well... At least last week it was. 😂👍🏽
Comparing a NON-HDR photo from XZ3 with an auto-HDR phone from others? IDK. Are u really using it few weeks? If you do, you should know SONY won't enable HDR in auto mode. Once again. SONY HDR video is REAL HDR file. Not those HDR-style/filters/tune crap from others phone. You really need a HDR screen for watching those file.
good that they didnt use gestures of android pie, those gestures are useless, it makes usage slower and it doesnt do more than the standard navigation bar
Phone arena is typical on their Sony reviews. Showing Sony as mediocre at best. Problem is olso gsm arena does it. The camera is the best in terms of resolved detail both day and night, you can see it in the gsm arena photo comparing tool. On 2nd note, you can always edit your photos afterwards with snapseed and photoshop apps to get the desired dynamic range, contrast, temperature, sharpness etc. Or you can mess with manual settings before taking the shot. He speaks like we are idiots, not knowing that we can edit photos
No.. They did not develop that OLED display.. It's a LG display... They where just slow getting over on OLED. Always-on many had on LCDs to so that function don't need OLED.. Thay could also use dimming zones on a LCD for optimal performance
Give me one proof, just one link from trustful site where saying who made that screen. I will give you a hint. There are no solid evidence about who made it. That is the reason why most of reviewers avoid to say who made it, they are just saying, Sony made a great OLED screen.
just compares it with note9. 4000mAh vs 3300mAh, 128G memory vs 64G, spen, 2 cameras vs single camera, 3.5mm jack. all that for 100usd more only. Sony did a serious marketing mistake.

@@axelcrime9908 everyone has a Samsung everyone has apple. This is the best phone that's not either of those.
Jesus Robles both of those are respectable, but the software on both is horrible
03:41 GSMArena jajajajaja!
Oh yeah
Bought it a few weeks ago , after having a HTC for a very long time. I am very pleased with it ,
I own this phone and it's amazing. Future proof till at least mid 2020.
What Do you mean
The best phone ever I’m gonna buy it 😍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Excuse me. I work at Best Buy, and the phone available to buy there. Do your research before making assumptions. This channel is nothing but biased towards Apple products.
Every time I watched this channel review a Sony phone, they have nothing better to say but to bash it no matter how good the phone is. Go check Amazon and BestBuy for a more accurate review. The PhoneArena channel is praise only on iPhone and Samsung, probably those company donate money to them for a good words.
Nice Video Sir. Comparison between Sony Xperia xz3,Note9 nd iPhone xs max please.
Not really faster than Samsung and LG in terms of release time. They have been releasing flagships every 6 months as well: Galaxy S and LG G series in Spring and Galaxy Note and LG V series in Fall.
I'm thrilled about the front facing speakers and the fact that they didn't go with the notch I'm sad that they got rid of the 3.5 millimeter headphone jack when was too small of a battery in for that price point only one camera. Sony has made their own cameras and should have a wide angle lens.
Watching this in 4K on my XZ Premium and i think I'll be upgrading once the XZ3 Premium comes out. Here is why:
- 4K OLED Bravia Display
- Next Gen Snapdragon with 7nm Process
- 6 or 8 Gigabytes of ram
- Dual Fusion Camera sensor improvements from the XZ2P
- 128 gb storage
- 4K HDR 60fps Recording
(Currently only 30fps)
This is a great phone already and so the XZ3P will be the one that puts sony as the undisputed king of Android spec-wise.
Haha, now what happened to all that? I have Xperia 1 😁
I like to try this phone. I still have my Xperia Z3 which is still working great. Partner has the z5 which has had problems but hope its just the phone not a z5 issue.
This phone looks great in the red option
Truly premium
Sony knows how to do their own thing
SONY IS ABOUT LOVE❤️ PLEASURE🤗
I don't get the buzz of OLEDs.
I think the XZ2PREMIUM's display is one of if not then the best panel out there right now.
4k, HDR, really accurate (when calibrated), large, bright, great colours if you need them, vibrant when you need it, flat when you need it plus there will never be any colour shift or screen burn problems inherent to OLED
A good review as usual - but what is an "ounce" of weight to most in the planet? If you're using (oddly) a non-metric system you could at least state the equivalent in grams so that most would understand.
is it that hard to register the fingerprint senson in the middle of you finger instead of the top?
SONY IS BACK 👏🏻 proud of you
I am using xperia xz 2016 version. main issue- over heating, low battery longevity, camera apps shuts down due to over heat within minutes... I guess its made for the Siberian climate zones. Only great thing about Xperia left is timely Software updates. May be/Should be best after Pixels & close to Nokia.
I like that their phones had sharp clean rectangular line I think it made them look slick and they were different from all the other phones that all look the same. I don't like they are doing this more curve design now they just look like every other phone.
They do have plans of bringing the new gesture to its Xperia Launcher. And I believe that it isn't just Android Pie users who'll benefit to that. Nearly all Xperias will recieve the new update.
Cool design with rounded edges. the only question to meditate is the height of the unlock button
throughout the video you were comparing it with iphone x latest series and note 9. and at the end you're saying we need more at the price range of 900USD that too with headphones and wireless. Why everyone praises ios and not the UI of Sony its way better than Note 9 and most of the android phones in the market. I love design and i hate notch
While other techtubers focusing on LG V40 and Nokia 7.1,Phone arena still stay cool on their style,That makes phone arena special..
Sony had strong fundamental that will never copy anyone... after numberous of concept and design they just reaching an end to create new look that have sony dna from the pass... Now.. they look like samsung and HTC combine.. sad
Good i was tired of those sharp edge boxy phones
when sony releasing same old OmniBalance design everyone is complaining and saying that's boring boxy sharp design, then sony changes its design to ambient flow design then people still complaining and saying that the phone is look a like samsung or htc, its really funny
I would've been fine with either design if only they kept the headphone jack. RIP
Actually they only used Omni-balance design on Xperia Z /Z1, Z1 compact, and up to Z5 Premium. After that they actually changed the design. To loop design, and unified design.
I don't understand your logic...
HTC+Samsung = Samsung? No
HTC+Samsung= HTC? No
Math Error
HTC+Samsung= Sony? Ok but still unique, besides, Ambient Flow was inspired by SE Vivaz and other SE phones.
This review is so biased. I am a sony boy but i am not blindly buying anything cause i am fan. Here sony has done some real innovation than other companies. They have always introduced something new to their phone than doing same thing every year like iphone and Samsung jusy increasing the specs every year with software updates. Sony has introduced so many new things to its phones every year like dynamic vibration, oled screen, 4k hdr shooting, super slow motion at 1080p, newly improved stereo speakers, side sense(still developing), low light and black and white camera in xz2 premium.
Still too big for me. I just want 1080p 16:9 XZ3 Compact, Five inch body.
I don't like curved back or slippery material. I like rectangular brick chocolate bar design like XZ1 compact with bezeless.
(80% screen to body without notch)
Please, make one for me.
I dunno why people r so worried about the FPS on sony,... is it because that’s the only drawback here ( not to forget the 3.5mm jack )else a perfect phone I guess
I love the Sony smartphones, they are always different, what makes them more special
Total Sony fanboy and this phone might well be on the cards. One thing I've always had issues with on Sony phones is the screen rotation,don't know why but it can be quite infuriating.
Lovely device. Can't wait for the xz4 premium next year
According to GSMArena It has an endurance rating on par with all the other flagships release this year except for the Mate 20 pro.
Can blur the background using this phone? Like you are distance away from the subject same as those phone who have dual rear camera?
Can you unlock by looking at the device?
Amazing phone but the removal of the headphone jack totally ruins it for me.
I wish they'd put the fingerprint back on the side. I had a hard time deciding between the XZ2 and V35 a week ago and just couldn't over the fingerprint scanner placement. I love Sony's implementation of Android so much more than LGs so this was a huge let down for me. Wish they had fixed it with this model.
Does it have the same screen sensitivity issue the xz2 premium have? (if you move your finger slowly it doesn't register)
lol
I have xz2 premium and i did not notice any problem with screen sensitivity. Everything on this phone is like a butter smooth.
@@indy33333indy I have the phone too and I have the issue along with a lot of people. It's only really noticeable when your playing a game like pubg or a fps. Maybe golf clash
@@johnnynelson9997 i play dead triger2 game without this issue. It may appear only in some games or some devices?
@@indy33333indy correct its a known issue with all xz2, compact, and premiums. Seems it can be fixed in software but requires root
It's IP68 and IP65 certified, not just IP68. (no, 68 is not better than 65, IP-ratings don't work like that.)
I got it to about close to 10 hours full usage with this type of battery without recharging during the day
Please explain the camera i want to buy it.
No offense but why is this chef reviewing phones?
Omg true...hhahahaha made my day..
i have: nokia lumia 1020 , samsung note edge , LG V20 , sony xa1 , sony xa1 ultra , sony xz premium . best phone XZ premium . best pic and video recording 1- XZ premium 2- XA1 ultra . best concert recording 1- XZ premium 2- lumia 1020 & LG V20 . best display XZ premium has 4k !
however the Note Edge is my favorite samsung phone with its excellent S-Pen great for art and video editing.
the XZ premium has an excellent 3D scanner which can scan in faces, heads and objects that can be exported as obj. files with texture maps that can be used in 3D animation software like Maya. the V20 and Edge have excellent useful secondary displays.
Please tell me the name of this game that you play on XPERIA XZ3
Premium version will have better dynamic range and XZ2 Premium is a proof of that. XZ3 Premium will throw these ishits and pixels off the park as there will be dual cam and wider aperture
So much obsession with the fingerprint scanner. I wonder what else it does apart from just unlocking the phone or accessing locked apps?????
How does it do playing UA-cam Videos? I'm using a Samsung J7 Sky Pro right now and if I try and watch a youtube video on the max setting of 720p 60fps the screen flashs black 2-3 times before it goes completely black and I'm left with audio only, this is something I'll have to research for my next phone.
Who cares about having 3 useless cameras anyways?
Sony needs some strong midrange models for indian market.
What you addressed most was questioning why Sony dared to be different from every flagship phone
Iam a sony girl through and through...! please wish me luck because iam gonna buy it....
I will buy xz3 Green :d my first Sony phone.
Lol Sony Fanboys in the comments are just like Apple Fanboys. They don't think Sony can do any wrong. Calm down.
Sony is like no other .Sony means quality,trust,passion,uniqueness.
I think if this phone had the fingerprint scanner on the side as my XZP, and the headphone jack, it would be perfect. Best sound, best screen, Japanese quality...
When launch in India I am waiting too much.
Whats the name of the game? Thanks
Gorgeous design. Great after sales, in India at least. Great display and Sony has excellent record of software updates
Dedicated camera key
If Sony keeps putting out flagships every 6 or so months why can't the prices drop dramatically if the new ones going to come out in less than a year
XZ2 Premium and XZ3 are not available in Philippines why? 😭 😭
Hi, what game is that?
fingerprint scanner is best put at the side, similar to xz premium. Best user experience. Don't know why they need to change it and follow samsung
I hope they release an XZ3 compact.
Yes and with a headphone jack.
does this come with dual sim ?
Why do I always feel that Xperia phones aren't quite worth their price tag.. I get a similar feeling about every HTC phone that came after the One series. I don't know, maybe it's One Plus's fault.
8:07 Ups, watch the position of your finger. Maybe the FP position is better than expected.
It is a fact that Sony offers smartphones in the best quality.
Always wanted a sony but as always their camera software or the algorithms they use just never hit the mark and i cant understand why. Sony make among the best camera's in the world and should be setting the bar for all manufacturers to follow but yet they've had this on going issue for years with ALL their phone's software algorithms and they never seem to want sort it...Same goes for battery life its just mediocre.. Yet the price their asking for this device is ridiculous.. Considering you can get the Huawei mate 20 pro with better everything for the same money or less.. If Sony spent the time on their camera software and ironed out the algorithms the same as Google has done with the pixel 3, just imagine how amazing the outcome would be...
Flasgship phones are dead. The XA 2 Ultra is actually the better buy. I get over 9 hours of SOT and bigger battery! Performance is on point! Can't lie! I'll have to say the XA Ultra is the better buy and smartphone. It's still worth buying now in 2019. Plus it's only $199 at Best Buy. Well... At least last week it was. 😂👍🏽
Comparing a NON-HDR photo from XZ3 with an auto-HDR phone from others? IDK. Are u really using it few weeks? If you do, you should know SONY won't enable HDR in auto mode.
Once again. SONY HDR video is REAL HDR file. Not those HDR-style/filters/tune crap from others phone. You really need a HDR screen for watching those file.
Not buying Sony products until they fully support their products. Been a Sony buyer for 25 years.
Is it worth to upgrade from my S8?
good that they didnt use gestures of android pie, those gestures are useless, it makes usage slower and it doesnt do more than the standard navigation bar
Phone arena is typical on their Sony reviews. Showing Sony as mediocre at best. Problem is olso gsm arena does it. The camera is the best in terms of resolved detail both day and night, you can see it in the gsm arena photo comparing tool.
On 2nd note, you can always edit your photos afterwards with snapseed and photoshop apps to get the desired dynamic range, contrast, temperature, sharpness etc. Or you can mess with manual settings before taking the shot.
He speaks like we are idiots, not knowing that we can edit photos
No.. They did not develop that OLED display.. It's a LG display... They where just slow getting over on OLED.
Always-on many had on LCDs to so that function don't need OLED..
Thay could also use dimming zones on a LCD for optimal performance
Give me one proof, just one link from trustful site where saying who made that screen. I will give you a hint. There are no solid evidence about who made it.
That is the reason why most of reviewers avoid to say who made it, they are just saying, Sony made a great OLED screen.
5G band 20Gbps ?? double tap wakeup? side button FPR ? two week battery life ? CAMERA LED BRIGHTNESS??
just compares it with note9. 4000mAh vs 3300mAh, 128G memory vs 64G, spen, 2 cameras vs single camera, 3.5mm jack. all that for 100usd more only. Sony did a serious marketing mistake.
How is the battery
Am a serious lover of Xperia's people , i need to get me one these though i will still keep my XZ PREMIUM, GEZZZZ i love these items
It's funny that Sony delivers most camera setups to other manufactures but they still fall behind on picture quality from their own setup
