No, the youtuber are all in MWC, making videos of the press releases.
Does make me wonder if we'll eventually get a Premium variant or if that line is dead now
It's even better. You can wait for price drop
Yeh but it's in that awkward period where a new flagship would be revealed :( and I'd want the newer one instead!
Dude, the xz3 is like 6 months and it's falling apart already? Did you mean the z3?When prices and release?
My XZ3 is falling apart and need a new phone stat!
Did you guys think I should get a cheap xperia xz premium ir pixel 3 or maybe s10? I know those phone's are more expensive but willing to shell $500 fir a new phone.
I used to be a compact phone lover like you, then I started using a 6.2inch phone and never looked back.I wonder if I should stop being stubborn and get me one of these massive phones now that compact models are a thing of the past ;(
No. Don't give up the 3.5 jack either.I wonder if I should stop being stubborn and get me one of these massive phones now that compact models are a thing of the past ;(

The media consumption is amazing.

vivftp aren't you an active member at Esato? Thank God ADIDA does not have an account here lol
I can't decide whether to go with Black or Purple! Both look amazing IMO. If people think 6 GB of RAM is not enough, it is plenty! My XZ3 works just fine with 6GB of RAM. Sony usually bump up the RAM amount on their Asian variant. For Example the XZ3 was sold in the US and Europe with 4GB of RAM but in Asia they offered it with 6GB RAM and dual SIM
Don't the companies send out phones well before MWC so the youtubers can have videos ready the second the announcements are made (embargo is down)?
I mean, that's what I would do to get attention (if I'm not Apple or Samsung that get that attention regardless).
Looks good apart from the battery life, unless there smart stamina tech is any good, but I have my doubts.
Phones with larger battery still have battery saving software.
Jesus christ why do they do shit like this? Lower the resolution, make it an IPS panel, and make it a better product. It's like, almost the perfect handset. So, so close! Seriously, this thing is gorgeous. THIS is what phones should strive to be.
Like, I know it's not just Sony but with the subpixel layout and arrangements (pentile and such) on some OLEDs, you have to go a lot higher in resolution to make it look as clear as an IPS panel on the same size. More pixels also means more stuff to render, which means taxing the processor and battery. There is a point where the numbers really don't matter with pixel density on a phone handset. I mean, some of these things have like 500+ PPI, it's getting ridiculous. Waste of performance battery and money.
A lot of the drain, however, must be fairly out of their control. S855, a large screen pushing a lot of pixels, etc... I can't imagine it coming at all close to the S10, let alone the S10+ in terms of battery life, even though those phones are (in terms of screen size), slightly smaller.Sony's been pretty good historically when it comes to battery life so it should be fine. Guessing it'll be a while before we can get any reviews since the phone isn't out until Spring.
21:9 4K HDR ? Who makes this type of OLED screen? O_o
Samsung? LG? Or Japanese Display (which Sony is part of)
Edit- and for those who complain about the resolution being too high and the effect on Battery... well with my S8+ I have it on HD+ on default....and when I want to watch something on Youtube that is a higher resolution, I turn on the Entertainment Mode...which Boosts the Resolution and other pictures effects. It doesn't take long... just click... then watch the Video..and when I'm done watching stuff... just click back to default video settings.
I would trade that for battery life all day every day. Heck, I'm ok with 720p on a phone. Give me a phone that lasts more than a day and a half with heavy use.

So how available will this be in the US? Any of the major carriers actually going to support this in an official manner?
I get about 12-15hrs continuous use from my mate 20 pro, which has 4200mah battery and the Huawei battery saving AI is quite active.
Maybe sony's stamina tech will make it keep up with bigger batteries but I doubt it, also the it will probably adjust the resolution to save battery life, I would imagine 4k will eat up battery quickly.
Afraid we don't have that info yet.
IIRC people were able to mod previous 4K Xperias to run at 4K all the time and it had a minimal impact on performance and battery life. My XZ Premium is a 4K phone and battery life is just hunky dory
