The new XZs is tempting, especially with this camera, gsmarena samples look pretty good so far.
btw the photo of the white device is not the XZs.

Camera is a major improvement but still not able to capture class leading image. I think Sony should lower the megapixel count in their future flagship phone. 1/2.3 inch, 12-16 mpx is the best range for smartphone IMO.
Posted by GRANEDE
http://www.theverge.com/2017/4/5/15188128/phone-bezels-look-dated
Yeaaah, I have to agree with them. Unfortunately Sony mobile will see a revolution in design in 2018 ( according to sony mobile ceo ) so I expect the design language to remain throughout the 2017. I so want a 5.5 inch FHD, SD835, front facing duo speaker, at least 3200 mAh sony phone in the same body as XZs.
Posted by Shino03
I'm afraid I disagree! If all phones will become bezel-less then how will you differentiate your phone.
Look at the xiami mix and sharp aquos crystal, if those phones become the norm, I will be glad if Sony keep those bezels.
Posted by moogoo
I agree. I think bezels have a purpose in design. going fully bezel-less is a trend i'm not too thrilled about. also, having the xz with front facing stereo speakers is night and day difference from my z1 with side bottom single speaker. i certainly don't mind having bezels if i can get speakers. unless someday sony incorporates their screen audio tech from their TVs into a phone (probably not likely).

I disagree with gsmarena's opinion on xzs camera performance. They are many improvements in the image department from previous generation. But Sony still have lot of works to do if they want to people to consider the top three camera phone maker in the work. I still think they should go with 12mpx resolution for better low light performance.
Posted by Tibagy
Great review as always from GSMARENA!
I agree that they were severe in evaluating the XZs camera, as it is notorious that it is better than XZ's, yet it is still behind the cameras of the Blackberry Priv and Microsoft Lumia 950 XL, mainly in ISO BASE as well show the graphics below:
But it is worth mentioning that in low light, the new Xperia is better than the previous generation and the top of the line Microsoft:
That new firmware upgrades further enhance the camera, but in a nutshell, congratulations to Sony, the device actually evolved from the previous generation !!!

That camera review is like always crap, they always how how to downgeade that part.
They never complain about the camera review of Samsung with their oversharping, not natural colors and bad video recording.
That review was a flop, i Don't know why you said its a great review, no its not a great review, a selected review.
Posted by Shino03
To be honest, I don't know why mobile reviewers think they know better than professional camera reviewers.
All I can remember the last time I used a DLSR camera is that softness isn't always bad.
And if you will look at the fine details of that comparison tool, the XZs is miles better than the blackberry.
The reality is Sony's approach is capturing more detail in the expense of noise. Just look at the paper money in that photo comparison

He actually posted an unboxing and hands on video just before that one
Posted by doministry
Hmm. It's strange with this lowlight performance of XZs on this GSMArena review.
I mean the lowlight pics look like a total crap, especially the live / street ones.
But also in the sheet comparison test, XZs looks actually worse than XZ.
My XZ can take great night shots so is it a photo taking technique again??
I wish. But if XZs makes such bad lowlight photos, it's my last Sony for sure.
I also believe those reviewers less and less. I have to test myself.
As for PhoneBattles videos, they definitely seem NOT fake at all.
And if you really analyze this iPhone 7 / XZs comparison,
exept the walking part XZs's EiS looks more stable and steady that iPhone's.

Reducing MP has nothing to do with low light performance. How about simply implementing OIS like every other manufacturer? -.-

OIS doesn't do better than Sony's EIS.
It's all about the algorithm.

In photo department of course it does. Phones with OIS can take pictures with lower ISO at same shutter speed that i.e Sony will use with higher ISO, that's where EIS fails to do anything, and this is the reason why night pictures with sony (not taken on tripod) fall short behind competition.
In video department I will agree that EIS works very well (even better that OIS alone), with no much harm to quality (FOV is hurt a little bit, but that's something you won't ever notice).

Of course it does, it's simple math .The bigger the area for light capture, the brighter the image with less noise and the better performance of the camera, especially in love light.

Come on now, i'm a Sony fan too, but let's not pretend that the battery life is amazing. Just compare it to the Galaxy series, the Moto Z Play or the Xiaomi/Lenovo phones and Sony's battery life is pretty average to good at best. Which is sad cause i was gonna pre-order the Premium but now i'm waiting for the battery life test which by the looks of it would also be average.
Posted by XperiaJunkie
Battery life on the XZ is very good indeed, no complaints here at all. Getting at least well into a second day on a single charge as this screenshot shows and if the XZs has even better life then well done Sony.

Those battery life tests on GSM arena don't ever seem to translate to real world usage for me. Sony phones tend to be average or worse on their tests but my phones have always outlasted my friend's galaxies and iphones when we are out and about and we all started with 100%. they're all pulling out their power packs while i'm still going strong.
i've never ever had complains about my battery life. it's been one of the hallmarks of a sony phone since the SE days and i really don't think that's going to change.

The battery life went from good to superb with the latest update for me.
Just like Moogoo. It lasts well into the second day now. I sometimes only charge my phone to around 50% and I feel safe that the Xperia XZ won't die on me during a regular work day.

You have mistaken MP with sensor size. Changing Megapixel count has only minor importance. For example, let's say we have 1/2,3" sensor. You can have 8MP or even 32MP, it doesn't really matter, because 4 pixels of 32MP will catch roughly the same ammount of light as one pixel in 8MP. So, when viewing images captured from these two sensor at 8MP or less, the quality will be practically the same.
What is important is the lens size and how stable the light going through the lens is (OIS). At GSMArena they only test auto mode, you can get good night shot on tripod with correct settings, just set ISO40, shutter speed 1 sec and you will have beautiful night photo, as long as the phone will be on tripod
Which is sad cause i was gonna pre-order the Premium but now i'm waiting for the battery life test which by the looks of it would also be average.
Battery life on Xperia XZ premium will be very different, it has newer chipset and different screen resolution, as chipset will probably be in favour of better battery life, 4K resolution might take some extra juice pretty fast.

In the beginning the battery life of my XZ was poor compared to my older Z3C ... but with time the battery got better ... once it was even good for 3 days!
Ok,I do not use it much but still wifi,bluetooth and NFC are always on,listen to music on it 1-2h a day,few calls and that's it....the rest I do on my PC.

Definitely, it's visible on their lowlight test (chart).
Because of the auto mode each phone has a different setting applied.

OKay. So this makes more sense!
Examining all those shots I can clearly see that some of them ARE REALLY IMPRESSIVE.
That just proves my point - Xperia works well when it has right settings.
And Auto sucks quite often.

Looks like G6 samples look actually worse.
Now it's interesting to see those standalone XZs samples look actually great with a proper setting,
and than see the same camera taking much worse pics while compared to iPhone.
XZs pics are instantly more blurry.

There's no comparison, XZs wins in stabilisation, sound, detail and colour accuracy. There does seem to be blue tint on both videos with the P10 the worse out of the two though. The stabilisation on the XZs is no joke I reckon it'll beat any phone on the market with OIS it's that good!!
