Re: Sony IFA 16, Xperia XZ, X compact

MI5 — Thu, 01 Sep 2016 12:21:36 GMT

Not too bad considering some other models.

Re: Sony IFA 16, Xperia XZ, X compact

viridis — Thu, 01 Sep 2016 12:24:33 GMT

I might be well off...

Re: Sony IFA 16, Xperia XZ, X compact

Martin-O2 — Thu, 01 Sep 2016 12:25:33 GMT

Thats a really good looking bit of kit!

Re: Sony IFA 16, Xperia XZ, X compact

PhoneChanger — Thu, 01 Sep 2016 12:27:38 GMT

Looks interesting but with the ZX they aren't bringing anything new to the table, its just another high end android. No real distinguishing features which is a shame as I used to like to Xperia series.

Re: Sony IFA 16, Xperia XZ, X compact

Cleoriff — Thu, 01 Sep 2016 12:32:00 GMT

Look good actually. Any idea on camera quality @viridis? This seems to be a factor when you buy or recommend phones?

The camera tech is pretty new.

In fact, no one else has it yet.

Fully expect to see some samples when they appear near you...
Out of interest, some of the specs have a further info indicator (the * next to some things). Do you know what they are meant to indicate?

Re: Sony IFA 16, Xperia XZ, X compact

viridis — Thu, 01 Sep 2016 13:54:57 GMT

Boring small print at bottom of spec sheet.
Don't fully immerse it...
Not available in some markets.....
Subject to acceptance of xx and xxx....

Crap like that

Re: Sony IFA 16, Xperia XZ, X compact

gmarkj — Thu, 01 Sep 2016 14:10:10 GMT

Ah.
Thought that was the case (with the single/dual sim) but wasn't sure about the rest.

Pretty good guesses then...
Willing to bet XZ comes down a bit before release...
