Looks interesting but with the ZX they aren't bringing anything new to the table.

We're waiting for Apple to do that

Next year apparently?

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

When I know, you'll know lol

[gmarkj]

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?

[viridis]

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

[gmarkj]

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

XZ - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-Xperia-5-2-Inch-SIM-Free-Smart/dp/B01L96EBPS/

X Compact - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-Xperia-Compact-4-6-Inch-Smart/dp/B01L96ZFXK/

[viridis]

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