Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium Review: Too Quirky for the Mainstream

[@PixelPeepers]

"The XZ2 Premium does offer higher ISO than the competition, up to ISO 51200. Although that did help me take great low light pictures with less noise, i've also been able to get similar results with other phones that also offer some sort of ultra low light mode like the Huawei P20 pro and the LG G7 Thinq" - I end my quote... This lady knows as much about photography as i do about quantum physics... ISO 51200 is the only NATIVE low light feature a phone can have to deliver NATURAL results in low light. Night mode, super bright mode, and other "we don't have the technology but we'll fool you with some HDR like frame binning" mode are really messing with the colours and exposure making the photos look so unnatural.. Why do you think a pro camera like a nikon or a canon doesn't shoot "night mode". "low light mode" but they push the limits with high ISO values? Why is there this trend on the market today to really be affraid of grain in low light photos, and manufacturers preffer using a very agressive noise reduction that eliminates all detail, making the photo look painted? Why natural colours are so overrated and the likes of Samsung and Huawei boost the colour vibrancy to insane levels?? Why is photography overrated, and everyone but Sony is focusing on taking fucken selfies and cat pics for their social media accounts? Reviewers should have more respect for what Sony tries to do... staying true to the photography ideea, inovating where it really matters. Sony gives you high ISO values, HDR video, and other goodies from their PROFESSIONAL line of Alpha cameras like sony A9 or A7 MkIII, and Samsung and Apple gives you animoji.... P.S. sorry about the rant, but i am pissed at what videos some reviewers make these days... having NO CLUE about what they speak of... Oh, and sorry for my english...

[@kushwantsingh3330]

Pixel Peepers lol...only indians crying here for sony... Lets see how many lf them will buy a 1lakh rupee phone from Sony... Hahaha

[@juventinu84]

Peter Thiel well i am not from India, i am European

[@naimeshirou9734]

Pixel Peepers agree!! I wait for you to test XZ2 premium against other phone. You pro at this photography thing. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@PixelPeepers]

thanks for the vote of confidence, but it might take a while until i get my hands on the XZ2 premium, as i don't have access to reviewer units and must wait for it to be released in my country

[@naimeshirou9734]

Pixel Peepers don't worry. Take your time 😃

[@PaulTheadra]

Why is this review so very negative? What about the sound processor? How come the review didn't cover ''positive'' features? This felt very biased and tunnel visioned.

[@naimeshirou9734]

Well ignore this biased reviewer said. This is not even a real reviewer . She is just other brand user that hate Sony and force to review Sony.

[@kushwantsingh3330]

Paul Stockwell sony sucks....its UGLY....

What about 1080 slow motion, 4K HDR10 screen, duel speakers, excellent low light? This Bimbo obviously can't do anything other than critize it falling off the couch. Ridiculous!

[@chilangoleader]

Did she said Sony is 2 years behind in tech? 🤔🤔🤔🤔 Does she even know about phones?

[@aa8413-h9c]

Alberto Garcia she borned at the moment when s9 just released..

[@RichardRatner.1972]

[@Sacchidanand]

No maintain of ultra low light sensitivity for pitch darkness, 960fps super slow mo, Qnovo battery care, real time SDR to HDR up scaling, HiRes audio and DEXHD audio up scaling, selfi camera 📸, front facing stereo speakers with S-Force and very good Sony apps like album, Music, Sketch etc and very fast updates without any lags.

[@manvithreddy3230]

Peter Thiel many don't care

[@Sacchidanand]

Peter Thiel, not all 📱s have to be carbon copy of one another or be bezelless. Just like vintage cars, a 📱 with bezels with most of the best specs can exist.

[@MrGAMEALOT]

I am a really big Samsung and Android fan, and sony do make good phones, I know their design might not be Modern or Bezelless. But seriously, this review is so Biased towards the negatives, why not Tell everyone Why they should buy this phone and why not include all of the Features of this phone! Biased Crap is what this video is!

[@MrAsh-cw5cq]

That phone isn't ugly

[@rzysf59]

I think engadget should not have you to review sony device 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

[@troy5568]

Yeah Better not review the device than do so but be subjective against it

[@karo3529]

These phone reviewers expect every phone to be the same, have exact same design. Not a good idea. I like when a company does something different, like Sony.

[@arunraj-om8iu]

Why are you so negative..????? 🙄

[@amlan3669]

what??It's sony's most expensive phone....what do you know about sony?sony first invented waterproof and dustproof smartphone,1st to put 4k hdr display on smartphone,1st to put 4k hdr movie recording feature,1st to put 960 fps superslow motion camera,and even most manufactures use sony's lenses....and you say xz2p is overprice

[@kushwantsingh3330]

AMLAN BORUAH all these things are also there in my Galaxy s9 and that doesn't cost this much😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@kushwantsingh3330]

AMLAN BORUAH kodak was 1st to invent camera....look where they r now😂🤣🤣😂🤣

[@kochan10]

Exactly. Who gives a damn who invented feature A first? Just because HTC manufactured first device running android everybody should praise HTC and never buy another manufacurer's smartphone? It's only the end product that matters, regardless branding. Nowadays every company copies from another.

[@ganeshbalakrishnan5468]

Peter Thiel there is a limit for cost if the product is made of cheaper materials. Shitsung knows it and keep the low price. And garbage like you think that it is better.

[@manvithreddy3230]

Peter Thiel fool u need to gain some knowledge before commenting and getting trolled, u are biggest troll in every comment, lol 🤣

[@danidarklord666]

[@nddomaul334]

yea

[@Guuzaka]

Many hate the design, but I absolutely love it for its large, notch-free, 16:9, 4K body. Could have been extremely close to perfect if it had a headphone jack.👀🎧🔊🔔

[@MrSolarkh]

Stop doing reviews...

[@kushwantsingh3330]

Keegan Harold better than u honey

[@MrSolarkh]

Peter Thiel I'm not a reviewer, but why do it if you not good at it all. I guess it's just not me. The amount of dislikes tells it all.

[@naimeshirou9734]

Keegan Harold ignore him. He is Sony hater or trolling around

[@almomedvedec896]

She knows shit about phones so I'm not gonna take this review seriously

[@justineroviccenal7121]

When they reviewed Samsung: The new Samsung Galaxy S9 still has that curved back glass panel which looks so good and comfortable in the hand. When they reviewed Sony's: The new Xperia XZ2 Premium has a new design with a curved back glass, which is too outdated and is too slippery. And is also smudgy An evidence that there is no fairness on reviews done by some KZbin channels. Smh

[@DavidJones1]

Typical American Anti Sony review, no need to watch

[@terokasam3434]

David Jones she is korean

[@ganeshbalakrishnan5468]

aaaaa haaa now i see why she was bitching.

[@CenturyOfCid]

@@terokasam3434 Oh so she's being paid by LG and Samsung

[@victor_enku97]

She didn't deserve to receive this phone early, nor did the phone deserve such a human reviewing it. Bet she is a Samsung fan.

[@thunder7135]

Guess again: Apple fan actually...

[@Tronkh01]

She doesn't know anything holy shit I'm triggered😂 "High iso let me take low light pics with less noise", "is always 2 years behind the competition"... Who made their flagships waterproof? Who bumped up the resolution game? Who makes camera sensors for literally every good camera phone out there? Who made features like super slow motion? Who made phones record and take pictures in hdr? The list goes on and on.... Damn.. And how the fk ain't Sony using the dual lens for a feature? Low light capabilities are only good on the huawei or what? That bias doe. Get your facts right before you trashtalk the only semi-major phone brand which still differs from the mass. Literally every other company besides blackberry and maybe htc is going down the same path producing the same phones over and over. Doesn't have features my ass. Edit: Damn that took longer than expected.. Now rage, rage the night away! Edit 2: btw try dropping other phones as often as you dropped this device and then compare what's left of them to the fully intact xz2p.

[@kushwantsingh3330]

Tommychoc kodak invented camera and look where they r now😂🤣😂🤣 Anyway ugly phone with humungous bezel

[@Tronkh01]

Peter Thiel kodak didnt invent cameras... Cameras date back to the 17th century

[@kripler3001]

Peter Thiel, moron

[@ishaansimpsonishaansimpson]

Peter Thiel if sony is ugly buy oppo vivo gionee good design phone

[@morrismullins4291]

Tommychoc lol you're right.........

[@arminabdi]

It isn't "just" 0.1 inches larger than the regular. I has a different aspect ratio (16:9) which compared to XZ2's taller 18:9 screen means a much bigger screen. I can't believe you are a reviewer and you don't know this. And that aspect ratio is the reason for bigger bezels compared to XZ2.

[@rzysf59]

Just send me the reviewed device you have if you keep it intentional dropped...not good review...always give negative statement

[@naimeshirou9734]

Reza Yusuf Gadjali that how i feel. Its the most expensive Sony phone ever. Disrespectful

[@djfapples]

XZ2 PREMIUM IS A MASTERPIECE

[@SKY4510Production]

Using dual cam to take a picture from the busy street, tons of light from the car and the shops. Then u say the result is similar to others phone. Why not just say the XZ2 Premium is complete bull s***. Dual camera is gimmicky. All others phone are using fake HDR, only SONY record in BT.2020 format. Those fake HDR is just pull up the contract and throws in some colour. Sony knows what is REAL HDR. Maybe they are the only manufacture own a smartphone and camera business. The format is the standard of the industry. Why Amazon and Netflix need to have an HDR version? Why not just doing what Samsung HDR does. Than People with no HDR screen also can enjoy the real colourful movie. Thanks for the drop test though. We all know this phone is very hard unlike iPhone and Samsung curved screen. You should do a chair arm drop test. see which phone is still in one pieces. I am a SONY fanboy but I accept any negative comment with a good reason. Not this complaining out of nothing.

[@lionelb8227]

Something I don't understand: people were bored about Sony's design, so they've changed it. Now, people are also complaining about the design: "curved rears are so 2 years ago". That's disturbing… And I don't think that low light shots taken with the G7 or the P20 Pro are as sharp as the ones taken with this XZ2P... Also, saying that the Pixel 2 delivers accurate colors ( at least more than this phone ), the review unit should have a problem… Lol

[@amlan3669]

g7 and p20 pro can't give as sharp as xz2p at low light condition..xz2p has highest iso on it

[@lionelb8227]

AMLAN BORUAH To be fair, the more your ISO is high, the more details will be lost, but Sony has done a fantastic job and their sensors or software is really good at dealing with high ISO. This XZ2P is their best example of that.

[@troy5568]

High ISO doesn't necessarily mean a bad one. Digital cameras have this, and even beyond that, and they do a fantastic job in low light that not even this XZ2 Premium can compete with (at least no phone yet can be as good as a DSLR or mirrorless camera in low light).

[@MR._Mukherjee]

best camera smart phone....wow sony

[@kushwantsingh3330]

Creative School worst phone ever made that too 999$ 🍉

[@MR._Mukherjee]

Peter Thiel ...yes that's not for you.... sorry........

[@kushwantsingh3330]

Creative School no thank u....i have an iPhone X that's 10 times better, faster,sexier,takes better pics and is 10 years ahead of this 2010 Sony crap... Guess what....both cost same at 999$🤣😂🤣😂

[@imranhussein55]

Peter Thiel 10 times better, faster? I had iPhone X and xz premium, it wasn't even slightly close to what xz premium was offering

[@kushwantsingh3330]

Imran Hussein in what way? Iphone x beats the shit out of this ugly phone in literally every department

[@law6646]

why no testing video 1080p high ISO?

[@youdarkraver]

[@naimeshirou9734]

Nah. She hate Sony thats why. She drop 1000 price phone.

[@ssaini5028]

yeah that was terrible, its the standout feature and it was not reviewed. No other phone can record iso 12800

[@troy5568]

She tried to tackle the things the phone isn't greatly known for, and ignore the things the phone does greatly or even the best in.

[@misterblackpepperswag]

No, cz she is a big fan of notch, especially gigantic notch of pixel 3 🤣

[@juanlorenzojarata3940]

"I don't know what Sony was thinking when they designed the Xperia XZ2 Premium." First of all, Sony redesigned the phone from the Xperia Z series up to the last year's XZ1 since got most people got bored of their design philosophy. This year, Sony tried another design aesthetic and yet you are still not contented with its changes? I WONDER HOW PEOPLE NOWADAYS ARE NOT HAPPY WITH WHAT THEY HAVE BECAUSE THEY KEEP ON COMPLAINING INSTEAD OF JUST APPRECIATING THE BEAUTY IN EVERYTHING. This video supposedly was made to be a REVIEW VIDEO of a device that will speak for the majority of consumers, not your personal vlog you just upload about sharing your insights. How stupid can you get placing a phone on a thin edged sofa? Any phone you put there the same size as the XZ2 Premium, it will also fall of. And lastly, see how this woman criticizes the phone on how ugly it was. Look who's talking.

[@kushwantsingh3330]

999$.....are u kidding me? Sony is drunk af

[@imranhussein55]

[@naimeshirou9734]

At first, I didn't notice the reaction to this video and just put the video on full screen and very soon I found out what will be my reaction, a DISLIKE but I watched to the end and I wish I could give this more than one dislike. At the end when I saw the overall reaction I became happy to see that most viewers can detect a good review from a biased and very unprofessional one. I can easily say that this was one of the worst reviews that I have ever seen and I will never watch any of your videos.

[@silvergrahampalme7340]

I want this phone its so cool, the best cameras i ever seen, the best IPS display out there, great battery life, excelent audio and innovations

[@nilascocaguimbal1882]

The only review I've seen where the tone of color had to be adjusted. Demolition job. Black propaganda. That is a preproduction unit to begin with. This is the most negative review on a phone I've seen so far.

[@pishia1104]

This was a poor review. A dog could have made a better review than this lady. I am not even a Sony fan or Sony user, but there was obviously negativity throughout the entire review. The XZ2 is legitimately a decent phone with good camera, excellent build quality, good screen and excellent battery. Is $1,000 too much for ask for the XZ2 Premium? Probably so, but Engadget did not react as negatively to the iPhone X which also starts a $1,000. I am surprised that anyone can even take Engadget seriously. They have been consistently accused of being biased throughout the years. There are tons of articles on this. This lady does not even seem to know anything about technology. She talked bad about the screen, but I bet she does not even know about screen technology. Same for HDR video. Subjective as hell.

[@kushwantsingh3330]

Dead wrong. 100% American, not even of Indian decent. Makes a significant amount of money, can afford any phone I want. Never used a Sony phone, clearly said in comments for people who can read. Even said I am no fan of their phones. Some people are too stupid to read and jump to make a comment and look like an idiot. I suggest the idiots who are too dumb to read to GTFO. :D Seems like you copy and pasted this comment to multiple people. Throughout this video plenty of English speakers are calling her out. I see you have spammed multiple people with the same comments verbatim. What an attention seeking idiot.

[@Topdealmaker]

Ugly design? It might be but everyone forced sony to change design. Sony didn't want to have similar design like iPhone, Samsung and other Chinese companies having same designs, copying each other . Then what do you expect from sony?

[@satyarishikesh5440]

Yea ur absolutely right.. Sony doesn't copy anyone..

yeaa sony is beauty and not copy design make nice ther one design

[@ES-qy2ju]

"The XZ2P doesn't deliver enough unless you are a pro movie Maker" It is ridiculous, how would that be a limitation or something bad. It offers you the ability to do it Or are you going to tell me that i shouldn't buy the LG VXX because their pro features? it's ridiculous

[@naimeshirou9734]

Your comment is pro

[@RoninGaijin]

SONY is 2 years behind the industry in dual rear cameras... Uh no. Last year was the first year they were becoming mainstream and the best camera phone, the Pixel 2, is still a single. I like the XZ Premium design better and it had a pretty great camera before. Even THE XZS last year was pretty great

[@jheiethutz]

you call this as Review? LoL. biased review. Sony has its own unique design. stop complaining and looking for the features that other phone have. 2 years ahead? sony's dual cam, each lens has its own purpose unlike those other phones. yes.maybe xz2 doesnt have a nice back panel but this phone has unique design. look at those Oppo, Apple, Samsung etc, they have similar look.

[@charleschacko2523]

[@ayarayad6037]

And did the s9 worth that price?-_- What did it has better than this flagship except the design! Dislike 😒

[@imranhussein55]

ßayar Ayad even the design isn't better, because S9 and S8 are alike design wise , xz premium got the award on if awards but S8 didn't, Xz1 got gold award on if awards and red dot. Even though both Sony phones were bashed for humongous bezels, so I'd say the same for xz2 premium, it will get the awards and S9 will be left watching

[@ayarayad6037]

Imran Hussein I'm not talking about the xz premium design or last year design, actually I loved that design and I was always afraid that they change it because of some stupid fans taste, I was talking about the xz2 premium design which I don't like and it's too wide, and yeah s9 don't even have a design or any other flagship they all'r the same and always was, Sony is the only one with there unique elegant design, and I wish that they return there old classy design

[@kushwantsingh3330]

ßayar Ayad ugly design.... Bezels

[@ayarayad6037]

Peter Thiel Peter Thiel I said except the design, and is that makes the phone worth the price, my brother's phone has a same bezel less display with 300$, so I'm talking about quality and specs all the phones now has the same design, new design yes is ugly but they choice to be defirent, and I prefer bezels on the phone like there old design

This is clearly a review(hate speech) of Engadet: Pay us for reviews Sony: Why should I do that? GTH Engadet: What?Alright then, You asked for it. And she is FAT. Did she just make a review of XZ2P and sugest buyers to buy S9+? Sounds like what Samsung would do. From the way they jab Apple these days on there ads. Never inventing new tech... Plus next year's S10 might be having the AUBE chip in it. SMH

[@nokialunatic]

Its Beautiful in its own way. Its a beast. No other phone has a 4k display .

[@ES-qy2ju]

"more accurate colors" I think the colors on the XZ2P are much more realistic That is why they don't like it. And use the picture mode for change the white balance is a huge facepalm, i meam, that has nothing to do with the white tone. She should try to use the WHITE BALANCE in first place.

[@naimeshirou9734]

Marciano Demidof same. But i will wait for Xz3 official spec first

[@JeroenvanStrien]

Anyone who puts such a big phone on a narrow chair restraint and then complains that he falls on the ground does not deserve a Sony.

[@CactuarKnight]

One of the worst, biased, negative reviews ever... Oh wait it's Engadget.

[@naimeshirou9734]

CactuarKnight is it always like that? 🤔

[@yaoyeechua7668]

When u said curve back is so 2 years ago? Xperia was flat this whole time until now everyone starts making flat back... That moment when you said HDR 4k is worse than regular 8bit 4k... You said the picture taken just as bad as your monitor, so we know your monitor is bad. Change it so you can see the brilliance of the phone. I am done.

[@troy5568]

And they have a big YT channel here LMAO

[@זיוביטון-י2ד]

Biasd

[@sabianpamungkas]

Boring design? did you say the same thing to Apple when you're witnessing their design from iPhone 5 to iPhone 8? Heck, even from 3GS era. And what makes Galaxy S9 worth the money when this thing offers more? Who paid you, seriously?

[@eshrakkader5996]

if you ask me... I'd say the reviewer looks uglier than the phone itself 😂😂😂

[@gbolahanlateef6322]

Silly. Lol

[@MidnightBloomDev]

All these people saying they like this untraditional design and hating Samsung, Apple, Xiaomi... *Display to body ratio is very important!* if you don't want brick in your pocket and yet big display you need bezeless design.

[@imemjee2248]

Not sure if the phone looks ugly but your review definitely does..

[@Tiger24kicks]

I’m buying this phone tomorrow can’t wait. I like the look of the phone plus no one will have it which I like.

[@harizshahhamin6324]

“Look how ugly it is” Me: Have you ever look yourself at the mirror? Use the 12mp monochrome sensor to see your face...

[@ceejaykaliber4898]

Sony for life. But i like the compact version 👍

[@gummi4977]

Maybe now Sony phone product were what we deserved, but weren't what we needed. Sony had their selling point that actually deserved to be pointed out, yet this get bias with many other smartphone industry that have many choices to get. Hope Sony Will always stay with their vision

[@ingodwetrust7773]

How much did you pay the Samsung for this review?

[@troy5568]

Rather how much is it going to take them to review professionally?

[@nexmad3627]

if sony is outdated in design. then what is the design of iphone 8-6? jurrasic design.

[@troy5568]

Jurassuck*

[@misterblackpepperswag]

For the reviewer, who just an ordinary women, who didnt know how tech it is... Why I loved Sony? - Just Sony did the anti mainstream design.. some people hate it, some others love it - you must a pro in mobile cams to full fill sony camera and software, rely on auto mode? Go take an iphone - do you know, Z1 series still getting until marshmallow? Where's samsung? Just 1 or 2 mayor update? The really sh*t about Sony, is just their aftersales.. that's it!

[@rubadesu]

The phone is awesome many people would spend money for this over a galaxy s9 or even pixel. The logic of this girl can be used in both directions. She used this against sony as a hater 😫😁

[@mahmoudalkhateeb247]

Although i agree that this phone doesn't follow the trends or "features" of 2018 as I design student I can easily say that this phone is one of the best designed phones out there, better than any Galaxy phone I've ever seen and don't mention the p20, it's designer nightmare

[@rzysf59]

Sorry engadget...i unsubscribed your channel since your reviewer is too bias

[@FelixDiaz-zf7pd]

honestly these mainstream publications cant be trusted. Check out Mathew Moniz if you want an unbiased source for xz2 premium news. His review should be coming soon. Sure the phone has it's issues but this review was negative since the start.

[@hanif_afa]

idk sony was thinking? girl idk Engadget was thinking allowing you to be a reviewer here. so disrespectful.

[@geraldjunjie4285]

Most of the reviewer likes to complain about the fingerprint magnet for the glass cover at the back as well as the phone is slippery. Why dont u all blame about the glass panel at the back of the iphone x as well? And who will care about the phone is slippery or not? Do u ever try to put ur phone in that condition? Why don u blame about the Samsung's phone for the "2 years outdated" curve back design? I felt like your review is so biases. BTW, can u see the pixel of the Quad HD display on the samsung's phone? If no then why u bother about the not-countable 4K display of the Sony phone? It does make some different on the viewing experience for the 4K display on the Sony's phone.

[@naimeshirou9734]

Gerald Junjie she just hate Sony so much.

[@tonyjrsanchez]

I heard her say that she liked the way the pixel 2 takes pictures better than the sony. I wonder if it is because the pixel 2 lies to her making her look prettier than on the sony. I wish youtube had an option to report this video as misleading and fake. Does she ever mention if this is a pre production version of the phone or is it the official phone that will went on sale today ?

[@princealexander3896]

Your assessment in the end of the video is really accurate of this phone, and the audience Sony seems to be trying to grab. The negative you mention about this phone is found in just about every other review. This also includes the positives you pointed out, so I'm not sure what people are getting mad about. Don't normally like your reviews but great job.

[@haixinzheng9759]

I’m sorry to say this, but regarding the comments you made about blueish photo from both front and rear Xperia camera, it’s not Sony’s fault, but that’s just how you look like. While the competitors tends to apply layers of filters to make you look more reddish and over saturated, Sony were known to deliver some of the most natural result from photo shooting.

[@Sau0791]

This is the worst review not particularly of any phone it's pure biased

[@cakarcakaran]

The video recorder with HDR was dull and flat she said LOL. The purpose of HDR video is for it to be color graded easier on video editing software, it's different from the fake HDR with vibrant color which makes color grading hell for video editor.

[@dogyamato5619]

You have to fiddle alot with the camera settings alot to get things perfect. It rewards you for putting effort into it, by giving you the best pictures. If you are more lazy a Samsung phone is better for you

[@darydavid8832]

Honestly, I do agree with your opinion about the new Sony dual camera flagship smartphone

[@Tronkh01]

The phone's ugly because it's a reflective surface. You can't go out there and call mirrors ugly. It depends on the person looking at it.

[@marxygaming4640]

I think she didnt knew all the features of the phone...hence an incomplete review...this was rather a rant on the phone....i agree with the ugly design but its other features are worth looking in too...

[@youdarkraver]

She didnt review the phone at all. This is a schoolgirl-with-an-iphone-selfie level rant... Typical Engdget.

[@marxygaming4640]

youdarkraver haha...look the like to dislike ratio....someones getting scolded..lol

[@jeremychong8541]

Agree with this review. Sony may have been the first of many things. But they sure aren't great with what they started nowadays. It has been years since everybody had been using a Sony lense and yet Sony themselves never get great camera performances on their own xperia lines, even DxOMarks scores are average. Good they finally changed their design, one that HTC adopted and failed a year before, not good. At least htc had some common sense to put the fingerprint reader higher up. Just subscribed to Engadget for being truthful about this phone. I wish Sony tried a little harder since I used to be a big fan of Sony products. Hope they bounce back up in the industry. And one more thing, comparing the reviewer's looks with the phone is irrelevant.

[@xMel21x]

Who in the world put their phone in a small place like in 1:17? After paying more than 700€, NO one would put their phone like that. Come'on...
