I have the Z5 and will be getting the XZ when it comes out in the UK. As for the camera I absolutely love mine it's amazing so don't mind having the same one again
'this is why every phone should have a dedicated camera button' is pretty spot on. I hate gimmicks and first having to launch the camera app. it takes way too much time to snap.
Then you should earn more money and buy a proper phone. You are definitely using a cheap ones. And it's still nice to have a camera shutter button than having nothing
If I am ever forced to leave Windows phone by the evil forces of free market and developer disinterest, I'll probably go for Sony's Xperia. If only for the dedicated hardware button; I am so used to it now thanks to my Lumia 950 that there's no way back for me.
In my case, if i would have to leave my Lumia, i'll go for a Lenovo moto z. That phone is fucking amazing...but guess what? The Lumia series is dead according to Microsoft but the Surface Phone is coming our way so, i'd rather wait until the SP appears to make a decision about the succesor of my 640XL.
Sony got pushed head first onto concrete by Apple and Samsung so now Sony is struggling to stay relevant because everyone thinks Sony is weak cuz it got bullied
***** Because i am currently using Z5P with 4k screen. Its the exact same reason that i prefer to downgrade it to 2k from 4k but then again i am not sure about 1080p, i believe i could gain alot of battery life from the downgrade so 2k is desirable unless i need more battery life and performance. I prefer to strike a balance, excessive battery life is overkill too since i charge once a day. So is performance when my eye can't detect much pass 60fps.
because since the Xperia Z3 onwards Sony Xperia Phones have been sh.t, barely any camera improvements besides megapixels and barely any attractive design updates. To top that, they release 2 phones per year..so yea people have pretty lost interest in Xperia Flagship phones.. plus I am gg to bet although Xperia XZ camera sounds promising, it will be like trash in comparison to Apple iPhone 7 /plus and Samsung Note 7 with the fact that those phones also uses Sony's sensor so yeah it just means Sony cannot optimise it's own Xperia cameras which is a huge turn off
+LKH10 Barely and camera improvements and it is trash? Xperia phone cameras has been rated no.1 by DXOmark above both Apple and Samsung phones. I don't know what you mean by optimize, but if over saturating photos with post filters then perhaps Xperia is not a phone designed for the mainstream.
Ji Kang Chua Yea I know but performance of the camera seems less appealing than iPhone's and Samsung's to the consumers that's why the sale numbers. But yea I guess too much of a natural photo looks too washed out compared to iPhone's with some optimisation
Everyone keeps talking about how this should have been the x Performance. are you all stupid. Sony always releases their true flagship at ifa in September and after that it's a minor upgrade 6 months from there.
Not sure if that's why phones should have dedicated power button considering Huawei have been doing similar with a double press of the down volume for a long time. My guess is many other OEMs do the same thing too. Still, this is my next phone. Pre-ordered.
+omfgareth samsung does it with a double tap of the home button too. Yet I find that having a dedicated two-stage camera button is somehow the most straightforward and satisfying solution for me
+TechAltar I see, I was not aware that Samsung took a picture when double tapping the home button, I thought it just launched the camera. I agree with you in regards to a dedicated two stage shutter button being the most satisfying and for me the most natural and reliable way to take photographs on any device, I do not understand why so many brands have ditched it when mobile photography is obviously so important within the smartphone industry.
yes you are. a phone can be shaky and sluggish with better specs. the connection between specs and software makes it good. and if you look at Sony phones then you will see that they are always running smoothly, even if other phones may have better specs
jedag jedug I read many said no to overhearing. But my xz now running 7.1.1 over heats a lot.. Get suts down on normal code shooting forget 4K. Became super laggy lately
you're epxecting a tech journalist to know his his shit. dude doesn't even mention rgbc sensor, lazer autofocus, 5 axis stabilization, qnovo battery tech. and his says z5's sensor is a bummer when it was tested as best sensor when it came out last year.
it's the best sensor right now but sony camera software is a bummer. I am also confused why sony isn't put much effort to developing the camera software.
The fact that it's a Sony sensor isn't a bummer at all. What I refer to is that previous Sony phones with the exact same sensor had underwhelming camera performance, so it's a bummer to see that probably we won't see much change on the image quality front (other than more accurate white balance and better focus)
Sometimes comments are just too dumb for me to ignore. What video were you watching? Qnovo: 1:53 Laser: 2:34, rgbc sensor (I call it an infrared sensor, because that's what reps told me it is): 2:36 5 axis steady shot stabilization: 2:57. Which of these did I not mention again? And who was it that tested this to be the best sensor? DxO? Because other than then, basically all reviewers, including Android Authority, Pocketnow, etc. all said the image quality of the latest flagships was unimpressive compared to Samsung's for example
Yes it's called Xperia X Compact so it's not high end but mid range bc it is the compact version of the already released Midrange Xperia X phone not really the compact version of Xperia XZ although X Compact and XZ were launched together
LKH10 I don't like the X compact it's glossy plastic casing makes it a little cheap looking and easily to get scratched. I thought I will be seeing the compact version of XZ just like the Z5 compact which as a premium look on it.
everything is fair an average phone but sony just can't price higher than S7 but they do! & it is the reason only hardcore sony fans buys it. the mass go for Samsung
+Truth Seeker yes, that's what I feel too. Sony and HTC both make great phones, but when they price them the same or higher than the Samsung flagships, they just can't win

Sony actually surprised me pleasantly with this phone. It looks sleek, elegant and unique. Performance wise it seems an amazing phone...
im getting sony xperia xz for sure after a 2 year gap. Sony interface is amazing and where samsung icons looks like a cartoon.
Sarvesh Solanki absolutely brother. Same feeling about d samsung UI. Xperia UI looks more soothing and realistic to d eyes. Perfection from sony!!!
BEST Review so far i have seen ...Thumbs Up ... This Phone looks far better then Mini Bomb Note 7 ...

I think I will be getting one for my mum too :D

Yes my note 4 and galaxy s7 was very cheap if you are correct then my note 4 has camera button also my s7 whooptiedoo.
I like this phone! Crazy...

PHONE LOOKS FANTASTIC AND DIFFERENT.
All i want is a XZ premium phone with 2k resolution and 5.5" screen!

nonsense. the z3 compact and z5 compact are amazing phones.
Personally think it's because they release too much Flagships in 1 Year and think if they focus on one flagship it would be good
Awesome channel with great content. Looking forward for more videos and TSB. ;)
I like that you make time to reply. so many guys ignore us subscribers. thank you.
it's already been 4 years where is the reply you are talking about hahaha
ill definitely have a look at what's on the market. Huawei is really looking good at this point in time. p9 lite or honor 8.
Everyone keeps talking about how this should have been the x Performance. are you all stupid. Sony always releases their true flagship at ifa in September and after that it's a minor upgrade 6 months from there.
The Best Sony
1:43 goes to press home button...oh wait

You are right Samsung doesn't take a picture, it just opens the camera
a shame you could have given this 'first look' more time marton...will you be getting one to review from sony...!!!
also NFC....?
+Lars loves Tech I don't know yet, but I think I'll get one for myself one way or another :D
aha...sony fanboy...LOL
so the zed is no longer the flagship damn. we were waiting for the Sony Xperia 7.
stunning phone. probably buying this to replace my water damaged blackberry priv (RIP)
A shame that they didnt tell us about this when showning the x performance I would totaly have bought this instead. :@
Best smartphone of 2016?
does it have FM radio?
First of all, WHERE IS THE NOTIFICATION LED ON THE REVIEW UNIT AND ITS 64GIGS AND NOT 32
excelent!!
how does the camera compare to Samsung galaxy s7 and the note 7 ?
4k recording was available on the z3
Wait a second Marton. Are you telling me that the X Performance could not shoot 4K?
+Deepak Mekwan I don't have one myself, but according to the spec sheet it couldn't :D
The truth is it cannot but it can...
If you know what I mean...
No I don't haha, I feel sorry for people that purchased it though.
***** Here you go... forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-x-performance/how-to/root-how-to-enable-sonys-4k-video-t3406075
Thanks man! So it is possible...
I wonder if the camera still shuts down if you're shooting video if it gets too warm?
no It doesn't do that anymore. They also fixed the overheating issue while taking 4k video
it didn't do that with my z5 either
XZ is the first flagship of the x series, not the X performance
lol even Sony Xperia z2 can record 4k
but 4k does not mean that it was as good 4k as it is on this phone
see 2:25 "But Atleast now you get finally 4k recording" explain??
even Sony manufactured the world's first 4k display smartphone last year!
Gamith Adithya I didn't understand your comment right
the specs seem basic and less than other flagships that came out months ago no? snapdragon 820? 3gb ram? Am I wrong to think those should be better?
yes you are. a phone can be shaky and sluggish with better specs. the connection between specs and software makes it good. and if you look at Sony phones then you will see that they are always running smoothly, even if other phones may have better specs
how about overheating issue?? i just concidering to buy xz.
i have z5 and overheating as hell.
jedag jedug I read many said no to overhearing. But my xz now running 7.1.1 over heats a lot.. Get suts down on normal code shooting forget 4K. Became super laggy lately
the problem on z5 overheating is the chopset. xz chipset sd820 fixed that
yes 810 super hot :D
What..?! the Sony sensor is a bummer? so I guess all smartphone's are a bummer also.. like Samsung and even IPhone!
you're epxecting a tech journalist to know his his shit. dude doesn't even mention rgbc sensor, lazer autofocus, 5 axis stabilization, qnovo battery tech. and his says z5's sensor is a bummer when it was tested as best sensor when it came out last year.

Why would I care about Android authorities opinion about camera over dxo mark which specializes in texting cameras
does the XZ has a compact version?
Yes it's called Xperia X Compact so it's not high end but mid range bc it is the compact version of the already released Midrange Xperia X phone not really the compact version of Xperia XZ although X Compact and XZ were launched together
LKH10 I don't like the X compact it's glossy plastic casing makes it a little cheap looking and easily to get scratched. I thought I will be seeing the compact version of XZ just like the Z5 compact which as a premium look on it.
iphone 7 👏👏
hahahahahaha no.
Sony wretched, iphone 7 fantastic 😉👏
Emre ÇİL Not at all. You're just an iSheep haha
Xperia xz radio miss

NO FM RADIO SONY😠😠😠
first
No OIS.... :-(
Ugly UI ugly design, nothing new that really matters!
Enjoy your Samsung's childish UI instead. The icons are for people with brains
Charge Final Impact i actually have a Motorola, i prefer stock look, just remember UI is a personal preferance
prefer stock yet the sony ui is nearly stock haha
John Kevin Villar its true but the walkman style icons and oily wallpapers thats what i hate
Mohamed Fadel Abadila haha wallpaper ans icon? You can x gf ange that natively in sony ui. I bet you didn't used sony phone lol
