The dual camera system will also have a portrait feature (which Sony simply calls Bokeh mode) and will let you shoot using only the monochrome sensor for crisp, detailed black and white shots. Oddly, these two features won’t be on the XZ2 Premium at launch and will arrive in a Q3 software update.

My guess.. XZ3 at IFA.
Then XZ3 = XZ2 + dual cam
Days ago I found a photo of a scheme about design.
If it is true, Ambient Flow might stay until 2020.
Is this silver the same of U11?

I think people would be fine with the design if they had decreased the bezels like on the XZ2 at the very least. the "fatness" of the phone, I think people may be ok with since there is a dual cam module, fusion processor, and a larger battery.
I hope the flow design doesn't stay too long. probably the first sony design in a long time that i wasn't hot and heavy for. The more I look at it, i wouldn't say it's ugly, but it doesn't evoke any sense of awe for me. I'd be happier if they'd just rounded the corners and flattened the back with the use of some very interesting materials to differentiate themselves from the rest of the pack. I get it, they don't want to look like everything else out there, but eh. think they made the wrong call on this particular design. should have kept the loop with less bezels.

The design is not the problem.
The position of stuff makes it ugly.
1) different speakers
2) rgb and laser af above cam instead of on the right
3) fps is too low, middle of the phone
If they had corrected that, it would look great. |

Most of SONY staff in Thailand don't like the FPS position and send the feedback to HQ already.
The change is possible for next year.

Hopefully in IFA. I remember the X line didn't get refreshed and they immediately changed to the tube design with the XZ when they announced it in IFA.

^ fake. Because the cameras and other sensors also turned red. Just an edited XZ2P.
------
I think the design will be changed for smartphones launched in IFA 2019, just after the new naming scheme for 2019.

The bad news is, they won't be launching this phone in UK & Ireland.

After the XZ2P's announcement, here's what I'm thinking:
- I think this is not their real flagship.
- I think XZ2P will only be launched in some markets, like Japan, China, etc.
- I thought the new sensors are entirely new. It turns out, that they've only added an IMX477 next to their old IMX400.
- I don't think XZ2P is going to be a hit (although, reviews might say otherwise).

^that's interesting.
If that rationale is to be believed, it's like saying "the older phones are popular there, this one isn't THAT much better to make most people want to upgrade, so we'll just not release it in those locations and save money". at least, that's how I see it.
Definitely will be holding onto my XZP longer... wait for the next design iteration and improvements on the camera, which undoubtedly will be nice, but not perfect out of the gates.
I still find it very strange that they felt the need to announce it now when they could finish up the software for it (bokeh mode, etc) and maybe even tweak the design some more for an IFA announcement and same day launch. Now they're announcing it with little fanfare, and software features aren't gonna be available til end of summer AND the phone isn't gonna be release for another 3 months. by then it will be forgotten for the most part. they better be releasing constant examples of how impressive the dual camera setup is to remind people that it's coming otherwise they will be shit out of luck when it finally does release.
