The design is not bad at all..
Looks stunning in green color..
Black look kinda ok..
They improve almost everything..
New streao speakers setup, new camera algorithm..
Hope this time we see louder speakers and finally a camera that on par with competition..
If sony price this around €700 it will sell well😊 |

I agree with most of you, while the overall design is better than nothing. but the few details are making it awkward.
1- In it's thinnest it's 6mm, in it's thickest it's 11mm, which is too much.
2- Lack of 3.5mm port, it's might be as what @josephnero said it might be reserved for a more high-end phone later. but just the idea of removing it is bad for me and a lot of other people.
3- Nothing wow here, while I don't mind 5, 8 or 13 MP front cam as I rarely take selfies, the bezels while better than previous Sony's but these are nothing to say at least good compared to the competition. It reminded me of what HTC did with their U11 already.
And I still didn't found a proper Android replacement for my phone, I won't buy a new phone now but maybe later this year or early next year so I still have time for IFA.. but I was thinking about getting an iPhone (can't believe I'm writing this  ), but really I can't see any worthy Android flagship.

Guyz now we know why S9 camera sucks
Sony has played a special part in all this since it helped co-develop the Qualcomm Spectra 280 ISP in question. |

I've have checked tons of photos samples of GSMArena.
Photos from XZP/XZ1 that have low ISO are not any worse than the samples from Note 8, u11 etc.
The way ppl say, looks like difference is 25% or 30%.
Ppl forget to scale all photos to same resolution before they compare.
Bigger photo will be even bigger if you apply zoom, the object gets " closer" to you compated to smaller photo.
Front camera of XZ is better than S8.
How is it possible?
Why would GSMArena give to XA Ultra review the title : LORD OF SELFIES?
I saw samples of S9, I am shocked how bad they look.
I have never seen all that noise on a 12MP.

65 for dust and 68 for water.
Same as usual.
GSMArena says if you choose 1080p SSM, time goes half of 720p.

So slow-mo video resolution can be switched from 1080p to 720p? That's nice to know and that was what I was thinking when I was in the shower a while ago.😂

Nope
IP6X is dust-proof at it highest rating
IPX5 is for splash resistance
IPX8 is waterproof 1.5m submerge for 30 min (no salt or chem)
and pressure under water not to high to ensure on device safety

Every company is in the same position here, only Apple can do but with hundred of hours practice to perfect. AFAIK

Overall the XZ2 is a decent package, it looks alright and is getting a lot of praise. The camera is a step up, need to see if the final units get 4K 60 fps as MWC ones don't have it. Today's software is very buggy particularly the camera app. Sony have said that the 3.5mm jack won't be missed and will be compensated with whatever thingamajig so the audiophiles will know more. The speakers have a vibration thing that enhances the deep thuds and stuff which is a cool trick, it actually works well so that is nice. Not a fan of the FPS on the back but because it is much lower than its competitiors, its alright to use and I suppose it makes sense to make a push in the US. Thickness is alright and bezels smaller to an acceptable size but I like having bezels actually.
XZ2 Compact is plain ugly and it looks quite bad because they went for polycarbonate instead of glass. Sure the footprint is great but its a tubby thing and it feels quite cheap particularly if you go for any colour other than black. I said I would get this if it had 1080p screen but I can't because of its ugliness.
The overall vibe is positive for both but I think the XZ2 is getting much more love and even if the Compact is fat due to the internals they could've just given it some glass to give it a better look.
I mentioned that there was a sneak peek at the mystery third device for certain people, it happened and slowly some bits will leak. Dual camera is there but I have a feeling that it will be in line with the XZ2 design but I hope they change it up to make it very different to the XZ2. Premiums have has glossy finishes historically but I suppose with more should be done. My feeling is they should actually announce it before IFA and go up against the S9 and S9+ because their camera will get much praise for sure and I think their S9 low light will be much improved.
I'm waiting on the XZ2 Premium but I'm happy with my blue XZ, its a shame that they didn't go for the Y design because that is the true evolution of the loop design rather than this ambient flow or whatever they call it. |
