[@alanglegend7259]

at least give some ps4 in-game gifts to those who paired their ps4 with their xperia phones i think everyone using playstations and this would at least show worlds that sony is also a smartphone company

[@mndlessdrwer]

What Sony really needs to do is actually enter into negotiations with US carriers to actually sell their devices over here at a useful volume. Oh, and they should probably go ahead and integrate the CDMA radio so they don't have to produce an entirely separate device for Verizon.

Good stuff! US based youtube only care about Samsung, Apple, Huawei because i think they got paid and that's a flaw in doing a smartphone review. When you get paid, you are now biased towards promoting the good stuff only for that brand and not pointing out the flaw/s. Great job, man! Sony fanboy!!!

[@eferrari96]

And they don't have Xperia there. Maybe that's the problem

[@ballinboxer3676]

They don't get paid, they just know what phones get views. Also, 90% of the big tech reviewers point out the flaws in all their tech reviews please stop accusing without any facts

[@randomguy9118]

Sony had the best placed fingerprint sensor ever! on the xz1 series

[@imranhussein55]

For someone who've used all Sony flagships from 2014, I can't say xz1 series had best fps placement, I prefer the ambient flow fps placement better than loop surface

[@imranhussein55]

Picking it up, the finger lands naturally on the fps, trust me, I've used both xz2 and xz2 premium, the muscle memory gets it fast, just like this reviewer has said, you might even find unlocking upside down, because accustoming to it is easy

[@crisradax]

It will be back on the xz4

[@josephf5036]

Totally agree with you. I own a Sony xz1 compact and the fingerprint is absolutely brilliant. I own as well a Nokia 7 plus with fingerprint on the back and even if it's quite responsive it just doesn't seem right! Maybe it's the phone factor even if I'm 6'4.

Excellent review!!! Thank you! Glad you mentioned some of those features other reviewers left out about this phone that truly make it stand out.

[@anthonysiegenthaler3551]

I'm a big Sony fan, they call me AnSony 😂😂😂. Somehow I like how Xperia is struggling with sales, they always try harder to innovate and create a real stunning phone. The headphone jack is a big loss though but oh well, Sony is going with the time/hype (i guess). I won't blame them it's somehow standard these days to ditch highly useful features. Overall I like the XZ3. I'm kinda shocked though cause XZ4 already announced for Feb 2019. Too soon.

[@99Venom]

Maybe because the XZ3 didn't sell well and they're using another strategy of design and sales. Maybe, just a guess...

[@purplespark8]

Why, if they're poor in sales, would they go without an option that many people would've liked? e.g. the headphone jack

[@oceaneleven537]

I owned a Sony Bravia TV and i loved it. May consider Sony Xperia phones when my current phone breaksdown.

[@WhatGear]

There's some good deals out there right now. So yes I would

[@Stop_Elitists_Wars]

Android Pie, Headphone Jack & 6-8gb Ram, Quad HD screen, 4000 Battery, 128/256gb storage, should be high-range phones now.

Am still here your loyal Sony Fan boy 🤣 and loving this intro 😉👌

[@RocketNothing]

Completely agree! The no headphone jack is epic fail. Just replaced my Z5 for an XZ1 on upgrade, thankfully my carrier still had some left. The clerk seemed pretty confused I insisted on a unit 2 models out of date. Don't really like any of the pillow backs, they look tacky & render the phone unusable on a flat surface.

Which one have stunning camara and display quality??? Xz2p or xz3?????

[@usmantariq7997]

Thanks for the info! But you didn't talk about a lot of stuff like its battery life, software performance, 3D creator app (did you ever use it?) etc. Moreover, I was expecting some feedback over the PS4 remote play app, because you do have a PS4 so I was wondering whether you have played any PS4 game on your XZ3 yet? By the way, Huawei P20 Pro Porsche version has a under-display fingerprint sensor and there's also one on the back.

[@BeyondtheFern]

I got my XZ3 about a month ago as well (did a pre-order on Amazon here in the States) I love this phone, I also have an iPhone 7 Plus. I got The Sony as my work phone, but I'm slowly migrating over to it - I am in the Apple ecosystem and use the watch with a lot of the health apps so will probably do that for a while. I have had other android phones in the past but this is the best one I have used so far. The build quality is fantastic, The phone feels solid and well built (and yes slippery - a case is a must!) The screen is amazing, I watch Netflix on it all the time :-). I actually don't mind the fingerprint sensor, but I wonder if that is because I watched enough reviews before I got the phone that by the time I got it I was ready for it be below the lens lol! I actually have always leaned toward the Nova Launcher, but this time I went with SquareHome (a WindowsPhone style) launcher, and it is really working great for me. I think I have gotten so tired of the app icons (thanks iOS) I just really wanted something different. Kind of funny since I wasn't a fan of the Windows phones when they were around. Anyway, just wanted to say this really is a great phone and I wish it got more attention. Oh yeah, I'm a bit of a Sony fan (girl) too - I shoot with the a900 and a99. Cheers!

[@shengmb1257]

How is your phone bro? Some reviews say that the xz3 overheat after a couple minutes of video call or playing games that requires internet. Is that true?

[@locoism1025]

Maybe they should have kept the headphone jack... now people will less likely buy Sony smartphones. I can't fathom why these companies make these decisions, specially when the smartphone's top and bottom bezels have the space for it. Another thing I can't understand is that Sony, HTC and Oneplus are companies that talk and advertise about how great their internal audio quality is, but kill off the headphone jack!!🤔😒 LG is still the best and hopefully don't fall into this trend, on the other hand, Samsung may abandon ship with the S10 lineup next year.

Yes, im a SonyFanBoy as well and with that said, i want an XZ3 for an upgrade ❤️ Nice honest review, no biases or what so ever. Even me i have some technical preferences but overall Sony is really a doing a great job on their "millenial" Xperia fones. They jusy have to listen to all the Sony Xperia fans to what they are suggesting and opinions and esp THEY SHOULD MAKE A BETTER MARKETING STRATEGY cause, honestly speaking in terms of usage and quality, if u ever get to use a high-end Xperia, you'll say that this is really better than Samsung or Huawei. Sony just lacks some tricks which these 2 powerful companies have.

there is actually a phone that has a under display fingerprint sensor WITH a fingerprint sensor on the back , its just that its way too expensive , its a phone from last year , the huawei mate 10 porsche edition

Is this phone worth buying now because is 3 years old and now have half price ?

[@kev4014]

Case is a must, you get used to the fingerprint but agree could be higher, the only problem using a case is the side sense goes from knocking it unintentionally to repeatedly having to squeeze it to activate it,

[@kaibaCorpHQ]

Man, I wish Sony would push the specs a little harder for the price and get these things in all the US carriers; I would like to be using a Sony device, I grew up with so many Sony devices like everyone else here, but it's just not a wow me phone :c.

[@shawnorjiakor]

You should buy the Hidizs USB-C dongle for the XZ3. Under $30 USD and it's extremely powerful with immense sound. It works well with my U11 and it's the battery efficient.

The best fingerprint sensor is the one on the Xperia™ XZ Premium as the power button on the side had been my favorite implementation until manufacturers like the Razer phone and new Google tablet straight up jacked it from Sony.

[@MrcACrl]

Don't you miss the lanyard attachment slots? I think the Xperia Z series is the last to have it and the Z5 P was my last Sony (still have it). The Galaxy S9s have a lanyard slot as well. Build quality of my Z5 P is better than the S9+, which I got because Samsung seemed to copy elements of design from the Xperia Z5 P and included a lanyard slot. For those who are lost, the slot allows you to attach wrist and neck straps directly to the phone, like a camera - helps when the phone is large and slippery.

My Sony xz2 compact is almost the same phone...I don't know why they bothered with 6 month incremental upgrades. They should really focus on one phone a year, at most. Drop the price a bit, and they would recoup their losses from pounding out phones the last few years that barely sell.
