And yes....plenty of reviewers both have no idea how to review this phone, and I would argue show a blatant reviewer bias against it. I find they often are clearly looking for things to complain about and find fault with. Especially when the exact same complaints could be made against the iPhone or Galaxy.

@@Sabundy Exactly. It's interesting that most of them "are professional" reviewers. That's why this reviewer is unique. On the point and shoot he clearly gives it to the iPhone but is clear that if you know something manual settings you get better results with Sony and he goes on to show the difference. So no device is advantaged, just says it as it is. This way people can make informed choices. Since 2004 I have been with Sony Ericsson transitioned into Sony. I was about to make my Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium the last Sony as I wanted to get a Huawei or Samsung but this video changed that, my next phone is Sony Xperia 1 x.

Some reviewers nowadays don't review phones for what they do/offer, but from a "what they want or know standpoint", and that's totally absurd in my opinion. On the phone itself, I'm pretty impressed by it. The camera capabilities are excellent, and the other features as a smartphone are also good.

Hey Rajashekhar, it's OK at night with the regular camera app, but because Sony hasn't yet caught up in the CI area, the Xperias definitely don't perform as well as the Pixels and iPhones yet for that quick late evening or night photo. The ability for those phones to instantly bracket a clean photo is pretty impressive. That said, if you take the time and dial in the correct exposure on the Photo Pro app, especially with a RAW file, you can get some excellent results (as demonstrated in the boots shot in the video), and it will be much more natural and realistic than a computer augmented photo. So it really depends on what you would use it for: landscapes and cityscapes with lots of patience and plenty of time, maybe a tripod? I'd go Sony; quick family snapshots? Hard to beat the Pixel and iPhone there. Hope this helps!
