Thoughts on the XZ1

Ninjabird7 — Fri, 01 Sep 2017 01:31:00 GMT

I would still like to get the XZ Premium but the XZ1 looks like it will have a better camera interface and has the 3D scanning.

What do you think?

@Ninjabird7

I have the XZ Premium and the XZ and yeah the XZ Premium its a beast, its amazing

With that said, the XZ1 camera seems really intersting, as of right now there's no info if or which Xperias will get it, but perhaps the XZ Premium.

Yeah I like that the Premium has a 5.5 inch screen and a 4k display.

I'm going to buy it. Hope it doesn't have crazy distortion like XZ Premium.

They should fix that distortion problem already

If that's true then I'm very happy to buy XZ1.

Black one would match my MDR-1A limited edition.

I think XZ Premium will get the new camera interface and 3d scanning in android oreo update.

I am new here,looking forward to this phone.

What do you mean crazy distortion ?

Here it's.

Some of XZ Premium's camera distort the building to the level that's unaccpetable.

But a 2700mah battery on a monster chipset?

I have doubts on the battery life. I still don't think shrinking battery size is the way to go.

SD835 is supposedly quite power efficient. combined with Android Oreo and its power saving features it could still get good battery life.

that said, XZ1 Compact has got the same battery size and with a smaller battery and less pixels to push around it'll probably have more stamina that the regular XZ.

I saw that link, If XZ1 has the same problem, I will not buy it.

I will wait and see the sample photo and the real thing at shop first.

Indeed this is the first Xperia that I wouldn't pre-booking.

It sound like a nightmare to pay $700 for such a bad phone.

Don't think that's the point.

You're talking about stock OS and an Efficient chipset which are true. But most people buy flagships to play intensive games or do multi tasking which consumes and drains battery.

Nevertheless, I will not be complaining even it weighs more due to higher battery capacity.

Pasing a review from android authority (who got best of 2017 ) about xz1

Src: androidauthority

---------------

Wait, what? Another Sony product among our top picks of IFA 2017? A Sony phone?

We wouldn’t blame you if you reacted like that, but here’s the thing – we’re not giving the actual phone an award, we’re giving an award to a specific feature of the Xperia XZ1 and XZ1 Compact – 3D Creator.

While Sony’s industrial design is as stale as it’s ever been, we must applaud Sony’s camera team for creating a truly impressive 3D scanning app, using just typical smartphone components

Should you buy the Xperia XZ1 or XZ1 Compact just for 3D Creator? Probably not. But if you already like these phones, the 3D avatars could be the icing on the cake.
