[@amranibrahimrashidi]

Recombu camera comparison pleaseeee....

[@gamexarena110]

Camera comparison with s9+

[@Meghannnnnnnnn]

Recombu I live in Sunderland! Small world haha

[@thariqmoh]

Please test bokeh mode

[@alexdiezg]

Speed tests

[@serginho9999]

That is one gorgeous looking phone!

[@kujtimzymeri3358]

A beast. Better of all on his category.

[@VWbobby94]

Finally the XZ2 Premium on the channel!!! 😀

[@recombu]

Aye took a while, and not for lack of desire! We'll make up for it now ;)

[@j.m.4444]

It is not a mainstream phone. That is why it is my phone.

[@allindianews2424]

Company like crapple r making bezzleless phn but why not Sony, Sony is always known for its innovation,

[@silva_br1]

Pushpendra Chaturvedi Sony does not want to give up on front speakers and great 13MP front cam. Speaker beside usb is awful.

[@teradac2]

Exactly!! like Sony the only one doing bezels. Apple has bezels and no one mentions it

[@monika278bly]

They prefer function over form. And there's nothing wrong with that.

[@yannolove1335]

True

[@youdarkraver]

Dont forget to review also bokeh mode and monochrome video recording. Keep it up.

[@recombu]

Certainly will do, cheers!

[@HunBela]

A good old camera compersion vs samy would be good. 4K HDR, full HD, stabilization, full HD in the dark. Also would love to hear your oppinion on the screen vs a sammy phone. Cheers

I read somewhere that XZ3 is going to be released in... 3 days?

[@shaktifreedomemma6355]

my sim card tray wont go back in , feels like its stuck? any advice

[@mrinmoypaul6075]

I love Sony phone. And nice video

[@dado380]

Mrinmoy Paul If you owned xz premium,you wouldnt say that.1000 $ for plastic phone with mushy buttons which are stuck so often.Overheating issues,quality of hardver is so poor,phone is hollow and so squeaky.Its false advertising beacuse its native 1080 display.You can try to run the phone in 4k via kdz,but the nothing works.Apps are crashing,battery drains so fast,everything runs with so much lag.

[@newview1040]

Mrinmoy Paul I had many sony phones like z2 z3 z5 X and I really dislike this stupid phones. There are always issues with heat and battery life (for Xperia X or Xz xz1) is really terrible if we compare it with S7 edge.

[@HunBela]

I have the XZ Premium since launch day, and it is one of the best phone i ever had.

[@yeongkarsoon481]

non bezel-less and non-notches.. i like the way it build cuz my thumbs wouldn't cover the display while playing games

[@djfapples]

Congratulations for the review xz2 premium is unique 🎭 best 📱 the fastest and with dual motion eye camera (aube)

[@recombu]

Cheers, in-depth coverage on its way!

[@abdulkhaliquekhan981]

Nice video nice phone love you Sony

[@usmanabdulkadir3334]

Great unboxing and hands on reviews keep it up as always bro

[@recombu]

Cheers!

[@majidnobles]

Curious about the wallpaper. Is that default? Lol it is a bit weird that they would put anime as a default wallpaper.

[@princesskeiranizhiealizxyr1541]

I'm.curious too.... ButI guess it was edited already.. Because as you can see on the top it keeps on downloading process.

[@Sabundy]

Personally even though I have the XZ PREMIUM (been a beast of a phone, and has been great the last year I have used it) I'm waiting to see what Sony does with the XZ3 as there are some very interesting rumours about that phone.

[@pascaladjaero]

More videos please, updates on battery life in the full review as well as an in depth camera review (bokeh and monochrome mode too). Also test SD card speeds on the device (like read and write speeds on the device vs what the card is rated for) Also let us know if you got used to the so called weight. This vs the regular xz2 and some other flagships. Thank you

[@orizasatifalubis1348]

Hope can have it soon 😍

[@sayyed350]

Sure thumbs up for sony, nice video Can y plzzz tell wat theme or wallpaper u r using

[@Mogamishu]

Unfortunately the XZ2 Premium does not support USB ethernet. It supports USB Host but no USB ethernet functionality. So you can not use a wired LAN ethernet cable to connect your XZ2 Premium to the internet at home with a USB to ethernet adapter, in case your WiFi does not work. The missing USB ethernet functionality applies to all of Sony's Xperia smartphones. Very disappointing.

[@darren2983]

Cant wait... I ordered this on monday for £650 in silver!!!!!!!! arrived from hong kong on wednesday but unfortunately I wasnt in to collect it AHHHHHH. I feel like it be pretty exclusive to have a silver one in uk so early :)

[@pvtme2000]

I was thinking of ordering one from Hong Kong but worried about it working ok in the UK

[@nilascocaguimbal1882]

Finally. I'm waiting for you to check the phone out

[@recombu]

We're on it ;)

[@adv.arunsawant8530]

How many android major versions will it get ?

[@ThePaulKM]

No headphones in the box? Yeah, Sony never fails to disappoint.

[@UKProud]

I don't see an issue with no headphone jack....wireless phones are easy to come by.

[@sabirkothiya9977]

Can you unbox and review the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4?

[@poypoygerminal6778]

Is it the default wallpaper?

[@AjaxJP]

Oh shit Ryuko Matoi You have good taste my friend

[@lionelb8227]

I'd like to buy this phone, but the screen is a bit too big. The rest of the specs though are incredible, this dual camera setup is the best available right now for sure and the price is totally justified.

[@recombu]

Yeah, you get some serious hardware for the cost, and all of it actually useful.

[@teradac2]

Totally agree I'm in the same position. Sony has always been the best phone for me but I need that 100 percent satisfaction

[@Tq-qy7zi]

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

[@malikumair3026]

Love sony

[@zen4k9]

How much the price in UK?

[@silva_br1]

I think it costs £800

[@yogeshdeshmukh6446]

How's the noise reduction in low light

[@ronandraveche2372]

the best

[@sats7819]

Does this have the camera overheating issue?

[@davidgtx8708]

Rocumbo can you do a camera test note 9 vs xz2 premium

[@cemsthetic]

Why no headphone jack?

[@Diogoafsimoes]

They needed space for the Dynamic Vibration System

[@kapilbusawah7169]

Diogo Simões no, no they didn't. It was SONY's marketing department keeping up with 'trends'. The placement of that motor does not intrude on having the headphone jack. There are 4 corners remember

[@newview1040]

Yasin Cem Demir because sony is a stupid company and last years they have been taking such silly decisions so forget them and have a samsung phone, it's better.

[@ssaini5028]

because this isnt the 80s anymore

[@egcozinon]

HATIM Youness yesss! exactly!

[@yotoprules9361]

I'm thinking of getting a used/refurbished XZ2 (not premium). It says it only comes with a generic box and a usb charger cable, and when I search on ebay for usb to 3.5mm adapters it says that its not compatible with every single phone. Can you link me one that will work or what I need to look for?

[@alvinds5479]

Mine came with the usb-c to 3.5mm adapter

[@yotoprules9361]

But it doesnt come with the adapter where I am purchasing it from. The seller confirmed it. I'm thinking of getting the belkertech one

[@kapilbusawah7169]

This could've been my phone of the year if not for the lack of headphone jack. Thats soooo disappointing since the DACs used in SONY phones are really good. I still wouldn't buy it since I have the XZP but man, the audio experience could've been amazing

[@teradac2]

Phone of the year if it weren't so bricky 😔 phones amazing but the look puts me right off. Might just get the xz2 and not the premium

[@MrJohny4U]

YOU CAN ALWAYS BEND YOUR FINGER TO REACH THE FINGERPRINT IT WONT HURT YOU !!! PLUS, ITS ONLY GONNA BE FOR LESS THAN A SECOND SO WILL NOT SPEND YOUR TIME! PLUS YOU CAN (HAVE TO) CHECK AND CLEAR YOUR LENCE ON EVERY PHONE BEFORE A PHOTO !!!

[@princesskeiranizhiealizxyr1541]

Maybe it takes their entire life just to reach that fingerprint. 😊 Thats what you called lazy people. They keep on complaining and not contented.

[@alexdiezg]

Kraken unleashed!

[@WazzaMK2]

No headphones in box?

[@kapilbusawah7169]

WazzaMK2 its a review unit. They don't get them.

[@WazzaMK2]

kapil busawah oh right, thank you for letting me know.

[@egcozinon]

no headphone jack no headphones! logical isn't it! :)

[@WazzaMK2]

Tomy Boy wouldn't they provide wireless ones then?

[@Zenbloke]

Nice phone but no jack no sale

[@teradac2]

Wireless headphones are the way fwd it's only a matter of time trust me.... It's already happening now

[@yannolove1335]

Iphone doesn't have a jack also a lot of phones now

[@teradac2]

@@yannolove1335 exactly plus wireless will clearly be the way fwd

[@Zenbloke]

Guy's one for the same money as I would spend on wired headphones I get a higher quality of headphone than I would for wireless and I like the heads up I get from the wire if they fall off. Second there are only a handful of no jack handsets mostly belonging to Apple and 2-3 android not as many as you would think and the standard XZ2 has a jack and this phone is significantly bigger

[@Diogoafsimoes]

Love the video! You just missed the Bokeh option!

[@recombu]

Ha yes, we'll correct that in the full camera review! Thanks for watching :)

[@ZoltanF1LH]

I love Sony and I really wanted to upgrade to this phone IF IT CAME OUT IN 2016... In 2018 it is not good enough. Sony dropped the ball and failed hard.

[@AllanPhillips]

No-one's going to buy a phone at that price with such huge bezels in 2018.

[@silva_br1]

Iphone 8 Plus is the best seller phone of 2018. Bezels are bigger. It also has less battery than XZ2 Compact.

[@AllanPhillips]

@@silva_br1 Anyone wanting an iPhone has a very limited choice. Android users have a huge choice.

[@sparx2391]

Bezels are too big

[@egcozinon]

k brooks yes they are indeed....in 2018 it's unacceptable!

[@inSaNe_44]

SUoerb! THank you.

[@abdelghafour_]

I need That phone in my life pretty sure can you send him for a gift

[@Shehryar89]

This is how you do a proper 4K HDR (display & video by keeping waterproofing intact along with dual stereo speakers setup) awesome phone but poor aesthetics/ design compared to the competition. And for that matter they should have priced it at least 200 - 300 dollars below the Samsung's best (Note 9) on the market. It would have sold like hot cakes and would have got some market share back for Sony. For now its a bit over priced considering looks. 16:9 is fine but those top/ bottom/ side bezels should shrink along with the bulkiness. And where is that 3.5mm headphone jack? (not good Sony your'e still an inch way to make the best phone out there. This shit has been going on for so long and stop putting out flagship phones after every 6 month's along with that pathetic naming scheme) Will wait for the price cut...it will be around 60% of the launch price after almost 4 - 5 months

[@silva_br1]

Selling for 600 dollars would not help. Some ppl say they are not going to buy because of price, then when price drops after months those people still do not buy. Few days ago a store in France had xz2 for €495 only. I doubt they sold all units.

[@Shehryar89]

@@silva_br1 price, timing & branding matters (naming scheme)... If they had launch this back in March/ April with an OLED panel (XZ3) while under cutting S9+ price and not launching XZ3 in Sept. This phone would have made some market share for them.

[@lunhkips8646]

Nice but battery is so.. Bad.

[@ariana_grandexx5451]

First!!! No one else is!

[@mithunsaha8968]

Sony make us feel that, this is 2016.those bazel looks ugly

[@egcozinon]

mithun saha ...ugly af! yes! funny how Sony keeps to be a soooo stubborn company! No one can change their minds! They will loose customers like me! I loved Sony very much before! But they disappointed me a lot of times!I had 6 Sony phones before. Until they not realize that they should do something new....i will never come back to Sony! Ever!

[@MR._Mukherjee]

Wow..... make a extreme low light condition video shoot ....

[@recombu]

We'll definitely be doing a full camera comparison, the video chops on this thing is nuts. Here's hoping it lives up to the hype!

[@98あり]

👍

[@adminswap]

Xperia xz2 premium is good phone. can you review xperia xa2 plus phone on our channel ?

[@RJ.Nandhakumar]

Smallest hand fingers position on finger print 👎🏻

[@slmts6705]

Stupid design, stupid marketing, stupid heavy stupid thick, stupid no 3,5 mm or headphones, stupid battery capacity, stupid lcd, but some great innovative !!!! I was always fan of Sony but they needed to move on and listen to consumers !stupid Sony stuff

[@egcozinon]

Salem Ettis TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU !! !! thankfully someone see the reality !

[@yannolove1335]

If you don't like it go get iPhone or Samsung

[@slmts6705]

I say my opinion hoping Sony will improve that and listen to criticism !!

[@egcozinon]

Salem Ettis they won't listen! believe me

[@slmts6705]

Well they got until 2019 if they continue like this, there's no Xperia in few years even fan will move one... !

[@arupsarkar9935]

2nd..

[@recombu]

So close! Next time, eh.

[@naimeshirou9734]

First!

[@recombu]

Winner winner chicken dinner!

[@naimeshirou9734]

Recombu yayyy. Love that anime wallpaper ha. Please test the bokeh mode. All the camera features thankss! 😄

[@RubyFreak]

It looks dated...

[@recombu]

Can definitely see how it won't be for everyone, it's certainly a brick compared with many slender new flagships. We're a little bored with the standard glossy notch styling, so it's nice to see something a bit different :)

[@imranhussein55]

Recombu indeed it's not for everyone

[@RubyFreak]

Yeah but the the regular xz2, Htc u12+, and the Samsung Galaxy s9(+) or note 9 look all very good, and they have slender bezels with no notch...

[@RichardRatner.1972]

Ruby Freak Agreed, it's put me off

[@dado380]

It is dated,the bellybutton phone with false advertising,its native 1080 display not 4k.

[@Tommellor1983]

512mb......wow! 😂

[@egcozinon]

do not like Sony anymore.... :( ...too much bezels again! still no amoled...no headphone jack! remove cameras too...who needs em...😊😋😁

[@imranhussein55]

Tomy Boy don't force your Sammy specs on Sony phone. Sony is Sony

[@egcozinon]

Imran Hussein iphone...huawei...motorola...one plus....oppo...vivo...etc...and nokia use amoled too! so....! it's reality!

[@imranhussein55]

Tomy Boy then Sony will use JOLED or POLED

[@egcozinon]

Imran Hussein woud be great...and less bezels! And boom! They will be successful again like before!

[@lionelb8227]

OLED has its drawbakcs too, and a great LCD panel is so beautiful!
