[EN] Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium Full Review, The Absolute Best Camera Phone, Yet a BIG Flaw

[@fantasytky28]

Finally a really really good review on sony phone. None of the other reviewer able to do. Thanks.

[@RayMaFlashingDroid]

thank you!! really appreciate it

[@MrWalker1000]

Is it objective or biased towards Sony

[@dibyamartandasamanta583]

MrWalker1000 You seems biased

[@naimeshirou9734]

This guy is the man. Sony is for pro and this guy is pro. Amazing review. You make Xz2 premium more amazing and beautiful. Great job!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@RayMaFlashingDroid]

Naime Shirou ty man!

[@nac7718]

He is a boss,but this phone lacks 2 things that stops me purchasing it,a silly 1 second maximum manual shutter speed and no raw capture,other wise the perfect phone

[@kimikhuzaimi9402]

I have xz2 premium..amazing phone

[@serginho9999]

Thank you man for making the video in English! I really appreciate it.. This is the best phone ever made and it's absolutely for me as I'm multimedia freak. I don't mind weight and bezels not a big deal I can totally live with that....

[@RayMaFlashingDroid]

Frando 99 ty! Sony is always the best when it comes to multimedia experience, now even the camera is op

[@ssaini5028]

How is the shutter speed on the XZ2P?

[@RayMaFlashingDroid]

S Saini never reached more than 1/15 in auto mode. While manual mode can extend that to 1s, using both lenses

[@imranhussein55]

FlashingDroid I've never used manual mode settings in any Sony phone, but using xz2 premium the ISO is convenient and more practical

[@keidasshu6209]

I agree with you on that!!!

[@andrewhenry1528]

You are one of my main reviewers in youtube hope you to do english version of every video

[@RayMaFlashingDroid]

andrew henry thank you! Will definitely do my best

[@njorl8723]

The 4k samples look amazing on my xz premium. This is by far the best camera phone on the market

[@RayMaFlashingDroid]

thank you!!! there'll be another ultimate lowlight video test, stay tuned

[@Freebiesheaven878]

No. The pixel 2 is slightly better in my opinion

[@dibyamartandasamanta583]

NightMarionette FNaFovaure Pixel 2 cannot do 4k HDR with that great stabilization

[@Freebiesheaven878]

Dibyamartanda Samanta 4k hdr looks dim without some modifications and adjustements sooooo

[@AlexMkd1984]

Alex sorry dumb sony fanboy best camera on maket belong to samsung s9 note 9 dumbass

[@lionelb8227]

The more I look at it, the more I find this phone elegant. And the camera itself makes me want to buy this phone, the best right now!

[@RayMaFlashingDroid]

Liion B yep, the best phone out there, just those bezels

[@lionelb8227]

FlashingDroid The "bezel less" race is bad in my opinion, I'm OK to reduce the size of those bezels, but not to the point of having notches. Moreover, high screen to body ratio is "not compatible" with front facing speakers, that's why the XZ2 and Pixel 2 XL have a worse screen to body ratio than the others. But this Premium variant could have bit à little bit better I agree

[@shanti016]

@FlashingDroid The Oreo gesture is hidden in the Xperia home settings disable as default. I enable it on my xz premium.

[@amranibrahimrashidi]

Thanks for this video. I really appreciate more camera and video review from you for this phone please... Thank you very much...

[@RayMaFlashingDroid]

thank you man

[@amranibrahimrashidi]

FlashingDroid welcome. Please do more camera and video review in details for this phone...

[@Tronkh01]

You're so good at editing and reviewing...

[@RayMaFlashingDroid]

[@j.m.4444]

Unfortunately his informations are wrong. So why is it a good review?

[@Tronkh01]

@@j.m.4444 What's the wrong info doe? 😂

[@liviumarila5200]

I love how it's a 16:9...all phones nowadays are too slim and long.

[@ahmedshafeeq7243]

Liviu Marila Yeeees thats what I like too, width is my major requirement in any display especially phones.

[@captainr5725]

Now 21:9 .

[@oxfordbambooshootify]

The sample video shots look absolutely beautiful. Bright, clear and hardly any noise noticeable

[@tecemdia9759]

The Best smartphone in The world!

You are an entuziast but no

[@tredfxman]

No but probably the Heaviest lol.

[@jyenhuang]

For me, it is also the best smartphone.

[@aikonriche]

Maybe in 2016.

[@Gravage]

Nice to have another English video from you, Ray! Great work.

[@RayMaFlashingDroid]

Will Frame ty!

[@creatorbydefault]

Brilliant review. I reckon I may be willing to overlook the heft and get it just for the camera experience.

[@RayMaFlashingDroid]

Joey Luu ty! The camera is just out of this world

[@wnldhanzo97]

Thanks for the english version. Im going to get this phone when i had the money to spend!

[@RayMaFlashingDroid]

TY!

[@rikimaru749]

This phone really blows my mind. I always liked Xperia but this is on is really special. I can't imagine how good will be the Dual camera of Sony if they do the same with their new 48mp CMOS. Curious to see how will be 3D Creator with this great camera, did you notice any improvement? Finally a good review thank you.

[@imranhussein55]

Anthony Richard I've noticed on my xz2, the texture is really good

[@Funk5Punk]

Great rewiew!

[@MiaKen1617]

Now, this is what you call "Quality Review" 👍👍👍🙏

[@Epicmango7]

You would think more mainstream KZbinrs would review Sony's first dual camera phone but no they don't. Thanks for the review

[@marvinorias8250]

Great review! This phone is just astounding! Can't wait to get one.

[@RayMaFlashingDroid]

Marvin Orias yep, just a bit massive, best all round flagship. but looking back to the note 5, note 7, actually acceptable :)

[@MrDarni187]

Very good review.. I'm getting this phone 📱 tomorrow :)

[@RadheRadheProduction]

i prefer the bezels. Where would the led notification light go if there were no bezels at all..notch looks ugly on a screen

[@youdarkraver]

Thank you so greatly for this in depth review. Although missing at some minor points, this IS the best phone of 2018. obviously.

[@RayMaFlashingDroid]

If u can live with those bezel, the xz2p is by far the best phone right now, in my opinion

[@youdarkraver]

FlashingDroid With all the notched nonsense phones, I kinnda grew to appreciate Sonys insistance on some bezels. I mind no headphone jack the most tho.

[@amroolzakry3867]

Good review👍👍👍👍👍

[@misterdaz1018]

I am still using the Z5 Premium I bought, the last time I visited Hong Kong in May 2016. I have been in need of a new Xperia for months and this great review makes me miss Hong Kong.

[@RodolphosTechchannel]

i actually got the xz2 premium today. paid only 530 us dollars for a new one. great deal. half the price since it was released.

[@Tronkh01]

Honestly, when it comes to bezel size, I like the htc u12 and the xperia xz2 best. Something in between is the golden point for me.

[@RayMaFlashingDroid]

Tommychoc ipx’s form factor has been my golden point, but this phone rocks, that camera is insane

[@imranhussein55]

FlashingDroid super insane, I'm really enjoying my xz2 premium

[@Magenta_Sherry]

Both of the phone and the review are great.

[@RayMaFlashingDroid]

thank you, unfortunately my Mandarin is not fully fluent, will focus more on typing subtitles for the Cantonese vaersion instead

[@Magenta_Sherry]

FlashingDroid It's not a big deal.I can understand Cantonese but many people in Mainland China cannot. Also,we hope you get into Bilibili or other video websites in Mainland China.

[@Magenta_Sherry]

FlashingDroid Now I am in Changsha（長沙）,Hunan（湖南）,not far from HK.HK is a great but crowded city.

[@Magenta_Sherry]

FlashingDroid Oh,some people in Mainland China said that your voice sounds great.And your pronounciation of Mandarin sounds interesting.Although it is not fluent,we can understand.

[@khalidabdi2212]

FlashingDroid Thank you for the deep and honest review because no did what you did and how you did so thank you. :)

[@RayMaFlashingDroid]

Ty mate!

[@ugnikalnis]

Khalid Abdi it's not a review it's preview because Sony said we didin't released final software version, it will be released with global September xz2 release.

[@khalidabdi2212]

Freydon Kort Even though, it looks a nice preview which was honest and felt non biased one

[@ugnikalnis]

Khalid Abdi agree those who understand quality over quantity knows about Sony

[@khalidabdi2212]

Freydon Kort Yes indeed :)

[@cherub0nyx]

Google is ur friend

[@Sabundy]

SONY's phones are brilliantly optimized, and their hardware and tech is great, but SONY really does need to find a design that works in terms of being unique but also being up to date with current design trends. At least if they want to get back in the game. Sony is an iconic brand, but they have been struggling with their mobile division. And they need to try something different..... really different.... If they are going to turn their mobile division around. And that has to be the design and the user interface imho. If they can nail that with the fantastic hardware and tech they have then SONY may be onto something. BTW.... The XZP2 smokes the IPhone X in speed in comparison videos on KZbin

[@looseyourzlf]

The best review ever !

[@pinodtc]

Thank you for this absolutely awesome review of this gorgeous phone

[@betomacias9515]

I am close to buy the mate 20X but... i can not find a comparison with xz2 premium between those models (some mate 20 pro could be enough is the same camera). Could you please do a low light comparison? I think mate 20 is clearly worse than p20 pro then this comparison could be the best in the world as show how mate 20 pro is worse than xz2 premium without any doubt! as they remove the monocrome sensor in the mate 20 pro then the performance in low light now is worse... please can you do this test!!! thanksssss!!!!! I would like then to buy in that case sure and soon the xz2 premium... also... can you answer me... with the same resolution in only video... in a battery test will the xz2 premium (lowering the ppi I think is posible to do in xz2 premium... beat in video to the Samsung S9+ for example? because I think the battery tests are not fair with sony xz2 premium because the highest resolution...) THANKS!

is it true that this has audio issues when recording video?

Incredible...beautiful design as well. I own a Sony Xperia XZ2 compact. Also a great phone. Sony is so under rated it's a shame. Lots and lots of quality.

[@enricopascual4990]

Very nice review and thank you for doing it in english. Hope you can do camera performance comparison between xz premium and the xz2 premium Thanks in advance bro.👍👍👍😊

[@rob12841]

Great review! thank you!

[@RAMRAM-ie8hi]

How to make time lapse on sony xz1?

[@airypotty]

Like your reviews. Slight correction. The cameras and fingerprint sensor are placed vertically in portrait...unless you mean when holding the phone in landscape mode. I used to be confused until thinking about the word horizon. 😊

[@Afilhado]

Great review :)

[@RayMaFlashingDroid]

Ty man

[@davidvandewater1402]

I'm the owner of the Sony Xperia XZ2 compact. I like the Sony Xperia Xz2 premium. The beautiful large cameras on the back is really impressive. I like also Nokia but this is stunning.

[@erikcastromontoya8211]

Thats why i love Sony, and nobody is looking at it, only Samsung and Apple im sick of that fans just dont know nothing! Im loving xperia x for years and now it is time for a upgrade, ill go for this one and is going to be amazing, thanks for the great review! Just a question, the videos recorded in the review were they in 4k hdr o 1080 super high iso? Thanks again!

[@mrvik97]

Awesome review, honest ! Love Sony

[@ericaskari]

The way how he took the phone in front of his ear, changed my mind, I'm going to buy it, I felt that it's not that much gorgeous but it is.

[@gmbmedia28]

I hope you can review the Sony Xperia 1ii and Xperia 1ii Pro. More power to your channel bro.

[@macmomazz]

Biggest question, does the wifi work? I have a XZ2 and the wifi on Sonys OS doesn't work. Had to push Android P in order for my Wifi to work. So I lose out on that great camera and dynamic vibration. #sad

[@yotoprules9361]

Get sony to give you a replacement.

[@SohelRana-xk7bk]

i just love it your video and thinking to buy this one

[@Mich2147]

Xz2 premium speakers vs xz3 speakers? Thanks

[@matthewweflen]

I'm using the XZ2 Premium presently. The weight is a real issue. I think a case with a wrist strap is an absolute must for a $1k phone this heavy. I miss my XZ Premium in terms of flatter, more easily held design. But the camera is definitely a high performance smartphone camera and the internals are top notch.

[@HAMEED...]

Sony always the leader of slow motion.spending a lot of money for iPhone is a total waste.

[@rtx_by_kelloggs]

Wow man, this review is insane, it's really good! this man knows how to do a review in the same way he knows how to dress

[@jinli74]

great video !

[@nick66333]

Great review m8

[@MTCypher]

What's the name of the city in the video?

[@VitalikUSA]

Hong Kong built by Great Britain up until 1998

[@SawhirUddin]

wow, awesome review

[@RayMaFlashingDroid]

Ty!

[@faikihizafaizal8250]

Where led notification?

[@tredfxman]

Great Review! How does it compare to my HTC U12+ ... ?

[@vikiviki408]

Easily better except for design(to some people atleast) and sound(both speakers and headphones are better on the htc)

[@vignesh_1165]

htc u12 plus is better than the sony in everyway much better design(very thin bezels and phone is also very thin(8.7mm) when compared to sony's (12mm),great speakers,headphones,display,touchscreen and camera.It is also the fastest phone.htc u12+ is actually even faster than iphone x there are videos on youtube that prove that.

[@morukuser]

Best review for the best smartphone 2018!! And best location!

[@abhishekjain9929]

Hopefully this one will sell better

[@Magenta_Sherry]

Hi,Mr.Ray.Could U tell me if you'll make the review in Mandarin?

[@charlescelino7830]

I'm using xzp right now. this thing is a totally different monster. but I don't think I'll upgrade soon.

[@RayMaFlashingDroid]

The new camera is unmatched, with the latest specs :)

[@charlescelino7830]

yes. but it's not time to upgrade yet. It'll become a lot better by the time I decided to give sony my hard earned cash again.

[@desmondting2002]

At first glance of Sony XZ2P got abit dissapointed. But later feel tat tis phone is a freaking beast. N thank for the honest review, you really show tat tis phone is worth it!!!! 👍👍👍

[@Mogamishu]

I am watching this in 4K 2160p resolution on my Sony XZ2 Premium. 😎

[@helenakhushi6579]

How's it running

Great vid, thx!

[@kenr4676]

most says the design is ugly but in reality its really gorgeous !!!

[@RayMaFlashingDroid]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, i like Sony’s simplicity as always

[@BB110]

你好，魅族16plus发布了，会不会评测这台机子啊！

[@fxexile]

so what is the big flaw? i still dont get it meh help me

[@RayMaFlashingDroid]

the big flaw is its bulkiness

[@fxexile]

so nothing wrong with the phone?

[@RennieAsh]

2:42 you have a left hand, right? :-)

[@sothet]

you should test day light photo and portrait mode also

[@RayMaFlashingDroid]

Yep, just got the update, can’t wait to test it out

[@ksmb1887]

great review.. thanks man, great phone 📱 sony❤️❤️❤️❤️make b.

[@ps761]

Xz2 premium vs xz3 camera?

[@Dragontrumpetare]

There are very few reviews out there that actually gives Sonys phone where the credit its needed. The swedish mobil magazine "Mobil" actually said it was not a very good camera, and there are lots of reviews that says the same way. All of those are not good at cameras at all. So then we have you, Matthew Monitz, Damir Franc and there was one more I think, that actually all states that they can't understand how so many reviewers could say that this phones is bad, especially on the camera side. The same thing when it comes to XZ3. Its ludacrious how todays media and youtubers are biased. I am certain that Erica Griffin also would have loved this Sony phones, but she cant afford to review them anymore because she do not get units to review. And she always been an ok reviewer of Sony phones.

[@samsonokoro5036]

I agree with everything you have said completely, its biggest flaw is its design, bezels, bulky and heavy. If only Sony just reduced all that and added a 3.5mm headphone with finger print sensor on the side this phone would be flawless. But it's still an exceptional phone even with the drawbacks.

[@bulitzecroz9463]

Nice job. 👌

[@THOMAS-zw2he]

The English version of xz2p seems more honest lol

[@RayMaFlashingDroid]

same content xd

[@amlan3669]

Please make video about xz2 premium vs note9

[@thinkingaboutit9826]

I want this phone but I don't see it at T-Mobile. I'm stuck with a great phone in the Note 8, and a great plan😢, but I want this phone. Even without the headphone jack, I want this phone!

[@MR._Mukherjee]

Do another low light condition video shoot out with xz2 premium

[@darydavid9338]

Sony has improved its camera flagship with this new device good job to sony

[@RayMaFlashingDroid]

Ya.. i was shocked

[@the.aravind.sankar]

Good review. A lot of reviewers seem biased IMO, I'm using a xz2 and comparing it to my friends' samsung and lg flagships it is way better in many things..

[@iulianene7495]

i heard something about iphone and samsung? are phones right? your review if is not the best is one of the best. thnx buddy. i was a very big fan of samsung note . all of them. i dont know why i decided to try 2 years ago sony. was a z3. perfect. than z5c.unbelieveble. the z5c is better then note 8 in every aspect,except camera.whith only 2 gb of ram. hard to believe. i am using note 8 for my work because of the spen. but.... xz2 premium is the one and only.

[@semangat4530]

Love it 😍

[@RayMaFlashingDroid]

Thank you

[@jakilahmoulien9070]

I guess the xperia1 is not the premium then. That crazy ISO performance is not featured in the X1 sadly.Dynamic range is superior on the xperia xz2p.

[@roeshak10]

Were all these videos and videos taken using a gimbal. Looks so and if that's the case the test is null and void in my opinion.

[@jeffreytai2429]

What's a gimbal?

[@spiritofblessingsworship]

I'm a simple guy, i see Sony Pro, I like, and Subscribe
