Even though I trash talk aussieland1 for him sliding with that most disgusting obvious samsung troll here on esato, personally I don't think aussieland1 is a samsung troll. But I hope everyone once again realize who is the most oblivious hypocrite troll here on esato and why I started posted in the samsung tread.

Thank you guys .
As I said I think that the battery life is actually quite good (looking at iPhone 7 plus score ). Also again comparing with iPhone using the 1080p is more than adequate and for the instances when 4k is used that is a bonus .
Looking forward to when this phone is finally available for sale .
What colours do people prefer , I think black looks good . I was keen on bronze but not sure about the back of the phone |

^I'm getting the DeepSea Black as it looks the smartest, the chrome one looks ok until you start seeing your own reflection in everything you do which I'd imagine would get on my nerves after a while. I should have mine by Wednesday/Thursday next week if all goes to plan. 
I'm so happy 'cause today
I've found my friends ...

I'm also getting black. I'm not sexy enough to want to look at myself constantly. 😀

Think for everyone that are importing it, black may be the only option out there. 
Do want to the chrome, but not for the obvious reason of looking at myself. 
Honestly, can't wait until it releases, my current phone is pissing me off to no end. |

http://www.phonearena.com/rev[....]peria-XZ-Premium-Review_id4356 am I dreaming? A 8.7 score of xz premium from Phonearena? Wow. Phone Arena and gsmarena praise a Sony phone. BTW the battery score is better than Galaxy s8. Take that Samsung fanboys!

The conflicting battery score from two major review sites should be sufficient proof that GSM arena's so-called battery test isn't as definitive as they claim it to be. Clearly it favors some phones over others and isn't a true test of a phone's battery.
Strange that Sony had confirmed may 22 as a UK launch date but probably won't be available til June for me. Uk Sony site is giving free ear buds.. I wonder if I can pre-order from Sony UK directly. Need to look into that..

Actually battery test at GSMArena is much more reliable, simply, because it takes into account standby time and many other factors. While phoneArena only measures a constant web browsing. No reason to find some "conspiracy" theories of GSMArena performing test that Sony is bad at...
Sony made a not so good decision of going 4K display and the users will pay the price of lower battery life, but sitll, 72h endurance rating with such high resolution screen is really good IMO. Not that 4K is useful but still -_- |

@moogoo Don't think it's possible. Just tried checking out in Sony UK, and you can't choose any other country outside of UK. Also, by ordering with SONY UK, you're not buying from Sony. It's actually Expansys that is fulfilling the order. With that said, I believe Expansys does ship to outside of the UK, but they don't seem to carry the XZ Premium. |

Admad.. not saying there's a conspiracy. Just that there's no perfect battery test out there that's going to give you a perfect normalized comparison. Some phones are good at some things and others aren't. Only thing you can do is get a general idea and then it all comes down to your personal usage patterns.
Mnx.. yea I noticed that. I went through the check out and was unly given the UK as a choice. Oh well. Guess I'm waiting til June.. sad but it is what it is. I'm getting sick of using my Z1 since I had the xz for little while.. xzp can't come soon enough
