I hate apple but their new 7nm chip is a worthy upgrade, the price for the same / similar rear sensor and 4gb ram make the xz3 pricey, should at least have the xz2 premium's dual camera. I guess this is why the grey market prices are £670 already for the sony.

Great review as usual. I think Sony is getting really close to nailing a great phone. You are right that the XZ3 should have been the phone released earlier this year, but at least Sony are aware of and have acknowledged their problems and shortcomings with their mobile division. And at least now they seem to be very quickly moving towards catching up and evolving their phones to both get back into the game and to actually compete against the other manufacturers. I also agree with you that the XZ3 may just be the best looking phone this year. Sony is also starting to nail the design aspect of their new phones (the old classic design was great, but out of date for the current tastes and market). I have had the Sony XZ Premium for a year and a half now and it's been a good phone. I want to upgrade soon and really like the XZ3..... cannot make up my mind if I should get the XZ3 or wait a bit longer and see what Sony releases next as I feel they are so damn close to nailing it in terms of making a truly great phone.

Really great to hear from you Allan. I love it when we get really good, thoughtful comments like that, thank you. Yes, youre right, it's a bit of a dilemma. Should you go ahead with the XZ3 or wait for the XZ3 Premium. Well... if you're going to want a dual lens set up, and better low light shots, I'd say hold on for the Premium... however there are no guarantees of course as to whether or not we'll definitely get that- just my hunch. It's tricky, but as you say - Sony really seem to be on the up!

@@tech_edit Imho I think it may be for several reasons. One is definitely that Sony realises that their mobile division needs to be fixed.....especially in time for the coming 5G. The other is probably also due to the general turn around Sony is currently experiencing where they made record profits this past year and they have been kiling it with their high end tvs (check out their master class OLED TV if you want to the sexist TV you have ever seen. The entire screen vibrates to produce all the tvs audio), their mirrorless cameras, their noise canceling headphones, and Playstation. So I think they can now turn more of their attention and focus to turning around their mobile division. P. S. Check out the Sony Xperia Touch. It's a tablet pc that has no screen. Instead it produces a projected display onto any surface that responds to touch. It's a product that is way too ahead of its time for the mainstream/current market, but it's a damn cool piece of tech imho.

As a Sony fan I hope they get back on track. I want to see them do well in the mobile market. But one of the things they need to do that they still haven't done is release one flagship a year. It's crazy how they went from releasing two flagships a year (which is already crazy), to now THREE flagships in the past couple of years, with their numbered series and the Premium line. They need to fix this. People are less likely to buy expensive flagship phones if they know they'll be replaced in 6 months. If they want to grow their brand fixing this would really help. And I also wish they would offer a version of their phones without a glass back. I really want to get their new phones, but I won't buy a phone that's fragile. I'm just not going to spend so much on a product that can break even more easily. I know I'm also not alone. A lot of people won't get a phone with a glass back (same how a lot of us won't get one with a notch). If they did two versions of their flagships, one without wireless charging but with a polycarbonate or aluminum back, they could get a lot of people pissed off that so many flagships now have glass backs. They could get these customers. If they would just do these two things, and actually work with wireless providers in the US to finance and market their phones, then Sony could get big again like they used to be in the Sony Ericson days.

@skankblocbologna3482

5 жыл бұрын

Agree - IFA in autumn should focus on flagships in compact (5"), normal (6") and Premium (6" 16:9) sizes. MWC in spring should focus on mid-range - i.e. XA3 - also in compact, normal and Ultra versions. Keep the design for a year and only update annually. I am also still waiting for a new Sony tablet - Z4 is still one of the best Android tablets but needs a replacement - 11" 4K OLED tablet with small bezels and 4 speakers would be nice... The other Sony departments seems to be doing great - PS4 is still great, OLED TV's are the best, new wireless headphones are fantastic and their Alpha mirrorless cameras are #1 in the full-frame marked...

Hope this phone awarded by KZread.

Great review man

Awesome review, David; liked it even better than the one you did for Directmobiles! Glad to hear your thoughts on the phone, as there's been mixed reviews out for it so far. Most I've seen/read seem to agree it's a good phone, but still lags behind the competition. And here in the U.S., it's considerably overpriced compared to some other handsets you can choose. I'm especially glad to hear you didn't have any trouble with it only having 4 gigs of RAM. It's a puzzling decision on Sony's part, especially when you consider that they're going to be offering a 6 gig variant in certain Asian markets. Still going to hold off making a decision until we get final details on the other phones coming out this month. I'm especially interested in the new Pixel (non XL), so I'm hoping you get a chance to compare the two. My OnePlus 3T is still doing fine, so I'm in no rush, and I'm hoping if I wait until closer to the holidays the Sony will drop a little in price (if it's the one I decide to go with).

@tech_edit

5 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the positive feedback mate, much appreciated. You're right, the OnePlus 3T is a very nice phone, so that means you can take your time to get the perfect choice. We will define comparing the new Pixel phone with the XZ3, so stay tuned my friend. You're absolutely right regarding the 6GB of ram in Asian markets, it puzzles me too. I've no idea why they do that - and why we get the lower ram models... very odd. And it was only recently brought to my attention that the US Sony prices are higher. I need to look into this. I remember that US Sony fans used to order their Sony phones from the UK and have them shipped over- and that was because the power button was also a fingerprint scanner, whereas on the US version it wasn't. Maybe it's worth considering doing now, just for the price difference? The USD is quite strong against the British pound, but there's always import tax to think about I suppose. Tricky. Anyway thanks for the feedback again - see you here again soo I hope. Once you've made your decision do let me know!

Btekt Late reply David, but I just placed an order for one of the 6 GB international models in that gorgeous Bordeaux Red color (neither option of which are available on the U.S. models). Was still undecided until I saw that the price on Amazon had dropped to $629 USD, brand new, which I believe is still cheaper than buying the U.S. version! Pricing was the only thing really holding me back, and now that they're going for this price, I thought it was finally time to pull the trigger. Really looking forward to getting this, as I've been intrigued by Sony phones for a long time.

Do a speaker review of this masterpiece..

Great review bro. This is the best Sony has produced since the Sony Z Ultra all those years ago! The only thing missing to make the XZ3 near perfect, is adding a headphone jack, a bigger screen eg 6.5" display, and at least a 4000mah battery.

Thanks for the kind words there - very grateful, yes, with any luck the XZ3 Premium will have even more to offer, though I don't think we'll see a headphone jack making a reappearance.... Cheers

@@princeD1100 yeah, I know what you mean, I was surprised when they killed it for the flagships. I've got no data or proof on this, but my hunch is that Samsung was very wise to keep it, even in the flagships. I wonder if they'll keep it in the S10 range in 2019...? Time will tell...

@@tech_edit The thing is, it baffles me as to why so many phone manufacturers are ditching the headphone jack when most people on this planet are using wired headphones! Oh yeah, one more thing Sony needs to add to the XZ3, larger internal memory, a minimum of 128Gb. You know what, I believe Sony is gonna release a more premium version to this phone.

Xz2premium or Xz3 which one is better?

That's a good question. For Sony's best ever camera (on a phone) I'd say the XZ2 Premium. For Sony's best ever display (on a phone) I'd say the XZ3. For the best of both, combined - wait for the XZ3 Premium! That will probably be unveiled at MWC in Barcelona at the end of February, based on how these things normally happen with Sony. I can't guarantee, just a hunch - but I hope it helps you out with the decision making process!

Sony hater is here ;D Nice to meet you.

Another update: Strategy Analytics (an independent company that tests to see if mobile phone screen claims are true) did a blind-test (so to speak) on which screen had the BEST display! 70% Of them chose the the SONY XZ3! Please note the link i gave is the sony site as i didn't want to link a competitive review site here. www.sonymobile.com/global-en/legal/testresults/xperia-xz3/#gref On another note, I finally pick up my SOny xz3 tomorrow, will let you know what it is like.

Watching this on my Xperia XZ3. The scren is just gorgeous.

Yes i'm agree this is the best looken smart phone of 2018!!!

Iittle do people know, the notch on the ass is a stabilizer so the phone wont spin on a table anymore and you can use it while it sits there

Please Please tell me where to get those sexy sony cases??!! OMG at 3:46

I’m playstation fan and I love Sony. My TVs at home are a bit over five years old and still they’re awesome today. I own a iPhone 8 and looking at this for a upgrade. This phone is faster then the Apple latest iPhone line up.

The front cam is 13 mp. Moreover, its not triluminious lcd, its bravia amoled screen. Few errors in the review, but the video is awesome.

Stunning looking phone but I'll have to make do with ma Huawei P20 Pro. Great review as always Btekt 👍

It has 13 MP selfie camera not 8 MP!

How do you not mention the HDR screen (HDR10, HGL & Dolby Vision), it's performance in displaying video, photos and menus, and especially NO mention or review of HLG-HDR video capable camera on the rear! This phone (along with XZ2) is the only phone with a camera capable of capturing HDR video for instant playback. It is the future of all cameras, and this phone has it built in!

Flaws you mentioned arent even flaws

The front camera is "13 mega pixel" Not 8 mega pixel

This Phone 😍...

I would buy it if it had a headphone jack and the fingerprint scanner was a bit higher.

But is it better than the XZ2 premium? Because XZ2 premium has some better specs. And it doesn't cost aa much.
