Won't guess the reason behind but it is pretty pointless. He can't tell us the real things as it is restricted by Sony. You also cannot tell us the wrong thing. It will build up the expectation to people. See what he did on SM42.
2 weeks till the IFA... And we all know is 5 FCC id, H81/H9x, a potentially flagship device CAD and a leaked phone case from weibo.
Let hope someone will leak out some things a day before the confess. |

The case belongs to next phone.
Look at the render, the usb is not in the middle of frame like xz2, but cutting rear panel.
Now look at the case, the hole for usb. |

Small bezels do not equal high quality, the XZ2 screen quality is on par with the S9 and better than the rest. Huawei triple camera is marginally better than the single camera in the XZ2 and lets not go into the whole waterproofing thing. There is more to life than bezels, Sony just screwed up the XZ2 designs but did well otherwise. Lets be real, the S10 will outsell all of them despite those relatively large bezels.
I was speaking to a marketing psychologist recently. She was saying that people have a very good idea of what they want to buy before they go and buy a phone for example. They research it and make a subconscious shortlist and very rarely do they change and get something not on their list. A lot of people that rant have no intention of buying the thing so they will pick holes in whatever they can find, its human nature. The posts change dramatically if a person needs to buy a new phone, that's when rational comparisons are made and then you see the value of each product.
The one main reason why the XZ2 hasn't done too well is because it is a bit too large. The Compact is perfect but it looks like doggy poo and the Premium is just massive for nothing. Make it pretty and compact for it to sell, nothing more to add. |

Badassmans views are somewhat correct
But people dont know about yhe blazing fast ui experience in sony devices, its much faster than one plus phones. Its really worth marketing |

Most people buy with their eyes first. So a company can claim the brightest screen, the best ui, the best camera, but if the phone doesn't catch the eye, then those great feature won't matter.

The i8+ has better sales than iX. It looks better and also less expensive.
I doubt Find and Nex together will sell that much.
China = anything that looks like iphone becomes popular ( except Lenovo)
USA = most buy phones from Verizon, T Mobile or AT&T , not unlocked
South America = most dont care about flagships due price, Moto G and Galaxy J dominate marketshare
India = devices above $600 will never succeed
What's left for Sony?
A) try to take #1 from Apple in Japan
B) be the #2 in Taiwan
C) sell device similar to XA2 in South America for no more than $300
D) increase sales in key places of Europe ( UK, Germany and Scandinavia)
E) deal with one carrier in USA

@badassmam, I was due to upgrade from my XZ to XZ2 but I didn't. As I wrote in the XZ2 thread The phone has only one deal breaker for me and it's not the thickness or the bezels or the size or the lack of top bottom symmetry or even the lack of the 3.5, it's the FPS [location] on the back, 99% of the tries I put my finger on the camera lens, even while the phone rested in my hand my finger was on the camera lens.
And I have been a  user since 1997, a  user after that and from 2012 a Sony user. So it's not entirely true people only try to pick holes and have no intention of buying, I had every intention of buying the XZ2 but its flaws put me off and I did something I never done before, I bought an older model, the XZs (brand new for 250 euro!) and now I'm waiting for IFA or in worst case scenario MWC 2019 for the next Sony. |

@S4k1s
My post was regarding others who continually bash the slightest thing because they will never really want to look at an Xperia as an option to buy hence the bashing.
You're like me in many ways, I always buy Sony but I've been buying older models at lower prices because there have been very few devices that have been first day buys. I got the Z1 Compact straight away and I really liked the Z5 that I had a green one and a grey one. Others like the XZ and X Performance didn't last long. |

I guess you can't please everyone. I find the location perfect. If anything, it might be a problem when you put the device in a phone holder in the car. Maybe the under the screen is the way to go.

I suspect Sony was working hard in spreading disinformation and false rumors. It seems they're hiding the real deal and I hope we'll be surprised. |

Well we always seem to get a certain amount of disinformation leading up to IFA, CES or MWC, but yeah this seems to be more than normal.
Design and features are one thing, but Sony's really gotta work on their marketing strategy. |
