Sony Xperia XZ Review with Design Driven Product Transformation

IT168 evaluation Some time ago Sony CEO Hirai Hirai said in an interview that Sony will not withdraw from the smart phone market, hoping to become the future leader. This response positively dispels the outside world's remarks on Sony's mobile crisis. According to Sony's recent financial report, after some adjustments by Sony in 2015, the overall business of the company finally turned into a profit. In the first quarter of 2016, Sony’s mobile business also made a profit. Although its net profit was only US$ 0.04 billion, it was not easy. The realization of profitability and Sony's active adjustment of the market strategy are not blindly expanding the scale, and the overall picture of profitability has an important relationship.

At the product level, Sony used the Xperia Z5 to draw a full stop for the Xperia Z-series phones, which lasted 3 years. Although many people feel sorry for the Z-series products, Sony Mobile must face the need to break through and change in a fiercely competitive environment. At the beginning of this year's MWC, the launch of the Xperia X, Xperia X Performance, and Xperia XA products was a good start. It played a role in the transition from Xperia Z to Xperia X. The Xperia XZ released this year on the IFA is a milestone transformation, but also by Sony. So can this product open up a whole new market for Sony Mobile? We might as well analyze it.

Knowing that Sony's friends must have known that industrial design and hardware black technology are what Sony is good at, and these two specializations are just as good as the Xperia XZ. Compared to the previous Xperia Z series full-balanced design, Xperia XZ uses a new design language "UNIFIED DESIGN" design. The material of the fuselage changed from the double-sided glass to the all-metal body (the rear cover is made of magnesium aluminum lithium alloy). In addition, 2.5D glass and ultra-narrow borders are added as design elements that are more easily accepted by the general public, thus changing the problem of the previous frame. In other words, from the Xperia XZ we can see the design innovation that Sony brings to the industry and the design trade-offs made by Sony.

No need to mention hardware, Sony Xperia XZ uses a 5.2-inch 1080P display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor platform, 3GB of memory, 64GB body storage space, 23 million pixels main camera and 2900mAh capacity battery. Putting 3GB of running memory on the flagship of the Sony Xperia XZ is a bit unsightly, but it is also where most of the consumers spit, but if you really want to buy this phone, probably will not pay attention to these hardware parameters. After all, the real attraction of Sony phones is not hardware parameters. In addition, it is also a big pity that BNM does not support Netcom.


Sony Xperia XZ basic parameters at a glance Screen features 5.2 inches, 1080P resolution The body size is about 146 x 72 x 8.1 mm The body weight is about 161g The processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 Network mode Dual card dual standby, mobile / Unicom dual 4G
Body storage 64GB Operating memory 3GB Front camera 13 million pixels Post characteristics 23 million pixels Product selling Triple image sensor, 5-axis image stabilization, battery protection, IP65/IP68 waterproof and dustproof battery capacity of about 2900mAh, support fast charge operating system Android 6.0.1 body color phantom black / quiet blue / streamer silver sales price 4999 yuan

The main selling point of the Sony Xperia XZ is triple image sensor technology and five-axis image stabilization (electronic image stabilization). The so-called triple image sensor technology is simply the Sony Xperia XZ addition to the built-in image sensor, laser focus sensor, but also equipped with an additional RGBC-IR sensor, in order to obtain more accurate white balance and exposure values. With regard to the specific imaging of its camera, we will elaborate on the part of the camera behind it.

Sony Xperia XZ positioning is a camera phone that focuses on fashion elements. Thanks to Sony's technical advantages in audio, display, and photographing, Sony Xperia XZ has gained support for ultra-realistic displays, high-resolution audio, ISO up to 12800, and other features. This is an exclusive and unique selling point for Sony mobile phones. Therefore, Sony Xperia XZ is more suitable for audiophiles, users with higher demand for mobile phone design, camera capabilities.

In addition, Sony Xperia XZ first selected Jingdong crowdfunding method for the first sale, in addition to Sony's official website also opened a pre-sale purchase, the State Bank version of the price of 4999 yuan (including support for fast charging plug). Both platforms have different degrees of random gifts, and friends who want to buy can purchase on demand. Of course, if you don't feel bad about gifts and don't need warranty, you can also choose to purchase the Hong Kong version. At present, the Hong Kong version of the Sony Xperia XZ is already available on the spot in Taobao, priced at about 4,400 yuan. It must be said that the pricing strategy of Sony's mobile phones has indeed made a large number of potential consumers daunting, but is this not what is the unique feature of “Sofa”?

In terms of appearance and industrial design, Sony has always had its own unique insistence. From Sony's products, it can be clearly seen that the strong Japanese flavor: fresh, simple, Founder. These iconic design elements have also been fully reflected in the Sony Xperia XZ. In the following section we briefly explain the design of the Sony Xperia XZ.

The front of the fuselage, the overall shape of the Sony Xperia XZ Founder, tough, both sides of the design of stereo speakers. The machine uses a side 2.5D glass design, with the rounded sides of the fuselage rounded design, to ensure a good grip on the side of the fuselage. Different from the common 2.5D glass design, the Sony Xperia XZ only performs a 2.5D transition on the left and right sides of the screen glass. The front and bottom of the fuselage use a special treatment at the interface between the frame and the glass.

It can be seen that the top and bottom borders of this phone are slightly higher than the screen protection glass, and the screen protection glass is like embedded in the metal body. The design of the frame higher than the screen glass is very common on Sony's previous mobile phones. The advantage of this is that it can prevent the glass from directly touching the ground when the phone is dropped, reducing the risk of broken screens, but also at the expense of grip. This time, Sony Xperia XZ optimized the grip on the premise of ensuring security, and achieved both the two aspects without losing the beauty.

The front of the fuselage, in addition to the integrated handset speaker, sensor, front camera, there is also a breathing light and NFC chip (located in the middle of the breathing light and the front camera). In other words, when using NFC-related functions, the area should be as close as possible to the sensing area. But another point, Sony Xperia XZ currently only supports Google Wallet, for the time being can not be used for payment purposes, the author can think of the use is limited to recharge the bus card and read a specific NFC chip information.

With regard to this area of ​​the top of the mobile phone body, we can see that many domestic mobile phone manufacturers use symmetrical designs to rationally arrange these components at the top to make them look more concise. The top layout of the Sony Xperia XZ is somewhat cluttered and not beautiful. Especially in the case of the area where the "SONY" logo is also printed, there is less design sense.

Back of the body, the Sony Xperia XZ uses a different body material than the general mobile phone, magnesium aluminum lithium alloy. This material is not only thin and has better stability and thermal conductivity. After sandblasting and grinding, the surface has a very high metallic gloss and is not easily contaminated with fingerprints. Because it is an all-metal body design, the Sony Xperia is designed with an antenna overflow at the bottom and covered with a plastic cover. This kind of processing method is actually not very common on high-end mobile phones. The main reason is that metal and plastic materials are difficult to be exactly the same in color. However, we can see that in the Xperia XZ phone, Sony's processing is very appropriate, the color difference between the two materials is not obvious, still has a very high integrity.

In the camera part, the Sony Xperia XZ uses a 23-megapixel main camera, and the official said the camera wakes up in just 0.6 seconds. And has long supported 12800 high ISO, optical image stabilization is still a pity, but video recording supports 5-axis electronic image stabilization. However, the Sony Xperia XZ phone in the camera highlights the use of triple image sensor technology, the "triple" refers to: image sensor, laser auto focus sensor and RGBC-IR sensor. The addition of the RGBC-IR sensor is mainly used to improve the white balance and the accuracy of the exposure. In a simple process, the white balance performance of the Sony Xperia XZ main camera is indeed very eye-catching, even in the white balance has a "The iPhone, which is also known as the iPhone, has to be admired.

Sony is one of the few mobile phone brands that insists on using the side fingerprint identification keys. The reason why Sony does not use front or back fingerprint identification solutions is that the author guesses to a large extent the consideration of the beauty and integrity of the body. Due to the smaller internal space and the smaller fingerprint identification area, the side fingerprint identification program does not inherently have an advantage. But after continuous optimization, the experience of the fingerprint recognition of the Sony Xperia XZ in speed and accuracy has been very good, it can be said to be "second unlock."

However, it is still a pity that the software support for this machine's fingerprint recognition function is not very good. Currently, it can only be used to unlock the screen within the system. Like the domestic mobile phone more common album encryption, folder encryption and other functions, Sony Xperia XZ does not. At present, only fingerprint logins that can be used for the China Merchants Bank Pocket Bank client are found, but they do not support Alipay and WeChat's fingerprint payment.

Finally, look at the bottom of the fuselage. The Sony Xperia XZ uses a one-piece mid-box design with a groove at the bottom of the fuselage that is machined by the CNC (the same at the top). The texture of the bottom part is actually different from the frame of the fuselage, which is more smooth and translucent. For this part, the official does not have any written description, but in terms of perception, it should be embedded in a piece of glass. The details are elegant. The USB Type C interface used by the Sony Xperia XZ, this interface is very obvious advantages compared to the traditional Micro USB interface, supports a larger charging current and faster data transmission speed, now it has become very popular.

The above is the interpretation of the appearance of Sony Xperia XZ this phone. It continues Sony's usual Japanese style, concise, and founder. The improvement of the 2.5D arc glass on the front side of the fuselage and the round frame of the fuselage did not deprive the family of the inheritance of the family design, but it has made some effective optimizations in the sense of grip. This is rare. . The Sony Xperia XZ excellent workmanship can better leave a large number of domestic mobile phones far behind, some have been "artisan spirit" of their own domestic brands, in front of Sony Xperia XZ, really shy?


For most international manufacturers, local optimization targeting the Chinese market has always been a headache. Due to the inability to use Google services in China, foreign mobile phone manufacturers need to customize a set of services for domestic users. This can meet the needs of domestic users. Apple and Samsung are relatively top-notch among many international brands in this localization, but there are still some areas where the details are not acceptable. The strategy of Sony mobile on the mobile phone system has always been to adhere to the principle of simplicity, simplicity, and smoothness, and follow the operating logic of the native Android, which leads to optimization of Sony's mobile phone software far beyond the domestic custom system.

The Sony Xperia XZ system is based on the Android 6.0.1 version of the revised design, and is expected to upgrade to Android 7.0 version in the past one to two months. The advantage of following the slight customization of the native system is that the basic functions are guaranteed to be smooth and smooth, and the speed of version iteration can keep pace with Android. The problem is that the localized services with convenient details cannot satisfy the users, and users need to download the third-party software to make up for the functions. However, this has caused problems in the domestic environment. First, there is a serious application of the background chain startup phenomenon in the country, which will increase the power consumption. Second, there are many advertisement tools in the domestic tool software, and the phenomenon of unfriendly experience. This will make Sony's mobile phone system in the domestic market into a very embarrassing situation.

Having said that, from the author's current experience, the problem of application startup can be improved by installing the green daemon. If ROOT is used, better results can be obtained (ROOT is not recommended, ROOT may lose warranty service after ROOT. ). However, this undoubtedly increases the cost of learning for ordinary users. It is hoped that this issue will be valued by Sony Mobile and will be perfected in the future upgrade of Android 7.0.


Sony Xperia XZ basic framework interface

When the Sony Xperia XZ was just getting started , it felt like its user interface was very flattering. The design is concise and refined, the colors are varied and in line with the aesthetics of young people. There is a positive improvement in the tone of the brand, which is also consistent with the style of Dafa. After a period of use, Sony's interface design also made it difficult for me to cause aesthetic fatigue. Especially the music player interface, it is difficult to find someone who can design more exquisite than Sony.


Sony Xperia XZ comes with software interface

Sony's local optimisation for the country is slightly on the calendar. It can display the lunar calendar and annotate holidays, but it does not support the subscription function. If your home TV supports Video&TV SideView function, you can load the latest TV program information and program preview on the mobile phone. At the same time, you can also mark the program you want to see, or set a reminder. In addition, the mobile phone can also be used as a TV remote control, which is very convenient.


Sony Xperia XZ software technical support

Sony Xperia XZ's achievements in audio and display are still commendable. After the compressed audio or color performance of the general picture, placed in the Sony Xperia XZ, can get better performance, here have to add a Dafa is good. In addition, if you have other Sony products, such as cameras, TVs, PS devices, etc., you can also connect with your mobile phone to get a better experience.

Overall, the upgrade of Sony Xperia XZ in the system mainly remains at the user interface level. In terms of user experience, Sony's consistent fluency continues. But the cliché's functionality and local optimization are still Sony's weaknesses.


Triple Image Sensing Technology

The so-called triple image sensor technology is simply the Sony Xperia XZ built-in image sensor, laser focus sensor and RGBC-IR sensor. The image sensor is technically more advanced than the previous model. The laser focus sensor is used for fast close-focusing. The RGBC-IR sensor is the first of its kind in the Xperia series, which mainly improves white balance and exposure accuracy.

1. Image sensor : The image sensor used on Sony Xperia XZ is called the Exmor RS sensor, which is what we often call a stack sensor. Unlike the past, the image sensor that Sony Xperia XZ is equipped with supports predictive focusing technology. An upgraded version of the PDAF phase focus can predict the next motion of the subject on the basis of the increase in filming rate.

2, laser focus sensor : As for the laser focus compared to everyone already very familiar with it, it is common in the flagship mobile phone, the main principle is to use the laser device to shoot multiple laser beams to the subject, by receiving the reflected laser back to calculate the camera and the subject matter The distance between them enables fast focusing. The advantage of laser focusing is not only that it can achieve fast focusing under well-lit conditions, but also that it can achieve fast focusing under dim light conditions, and it will not continuously “pull the bellows” like conventional contrast focusing. However, laser focusing also has its limitations. Sony officials claim that it can only achieve 15cm to 100cm of fast focus, so when shooting large outdoor scenes, laser focus is not available.

3, RGBC-IR sensor :


RGB-IR sensor implementation principle

The RGBC-IR sensor is the focus of the Sony Xperia XZ camera upgrade. Unlike the traditional RGB sensor, the RGBC-IR sensor can additionally record infrared images and colorless pixels, and then adjust the white balance and exposure using an algorithm. In other words, through this technology, the Sony Xperia XZ can restore the color of the subject itself to the greatest degree, even in a complex environment.

From the principle of triple image sensor, the main advantage of Sony Xperia XZ camera is three aspects: focus ability, color performance and white balance control.

Sony Xperia XZ camera experience

Today's mobile phone manufacturers are designing the camera interface to imitate Apple, trying to provide users with a quicker and simpler photo experience. The Sony Xperia XZ remains the same for thousands of years, continuing the interface of similar SLR cameras. Even in advanced automatic mode, you can still see various complex options in the lower right corner of the settings menu, such as automatic browsing photos, grid lines , touch pictures and more. The filter Sony we often use is still not provided, we can only call the menu to adjust the color temperature or brightness.


Sony Xperia XZ camera interface

The design of Sony is too biased towards niche. It is more appealing to geek users and influence lovers. However, as a mass consumer product, the mobile phone still hopes that Sony can study the general consumer habits, simplify the complicated operation steps, and make it easier to take pictures. Also worthy of recognition is that Sony Xperia XZ exhaled the camera is very fast, the actual experience is about the same as the official said 0.6 seconds, lock screen directly press the camera button to open the camera, can be very convenient for life The snap shot.

Another great advantage of Sony cameras is that they have a very rich camera application that allows users to take a variety of creative photos. However, these camera applications are often power-hungry, and occasionally use it for a while, prolonged use is prone to fever, serious power-down problems.

Photo proofs comparative analysis

In the process of camera experience, in order to more intuitively respond to the Sony Xperia XZ imaging, I use the iPhone 6s Plus in the hands of the comparison, the comparison chart released without any post-processing in addition to cutting, both phones are in automatic mode Shoot down.

Before the comparison needs to explain two things.

1, Sony Xperia XZ proofs are taken using 23 million pixel mode, iPhone6s Plus 12 million pixels, so the former has an absolute advantage in terms of resolution, while the latter because the pixels are lower, so the image processing, the algorithm is more rapid and stable .

2, from the author's own experience point of view, Sony Xperia XZ in the focus compared to the iPhone6s Plus has a clear advantage. In dark light or macro shooting, the iPhone 6s Plus often “pulls the bellows” so that a slight shake of the camera can result in inaccurate focusing or blurring. Thanks to the application of triple image sensors, Sony Xperia XZ has barely experienced this phenomenon.

Sample comparison:

Outdoor proofs comparison (c)

From the above two comparison charts, we can see that the Sony Xperia XZ has a cool white balance when shooting outdoor scenes. This is most evident on the second map. Compared to the real scene, the proofs of the iPhone 6s Plus are closer to the original colors at the time. However, the photos taken by the Xperia XZ have more intense colors and higher saturation, and they are more appealing to the user's eye. However, the iPhone 6s Plus was overexposed when there was plenty of light outdoors, and the whole picture became very pale.


Macro proofs comparison (a)



Macro proofs comparison (2)


Macro proofs comparison (3)


Macro proofs comparison (four)

In terms of macros, the performance of Xperia XZ and iPhone6s Plus is comparable. The strength of the Xperia XZ lies in the fact that the lens is capable of capturing a wider range of scenes with greater blurring power and better resolution. The iPhone 6s Plus has the advantage of being very stable in metering. After comparing several photos, we can find that Apple has more sophisticated and accurate control over the camera's various parameters.


Backlight proofs contrast

In the backlight conditions, iPhone6s Plus performance is very calm. HDR mode will be automatically turned on when taking pictures. It will not only clearly capture the clouds in the sky, but also the color of the pavilion's eaves. In contrast, Xperia XZ is significantly worse than the iPhone 6s Plus. Although the camera will automatically recognize that the camera is currently in the backlight conditions, the imaging results are still not satisfactory.


Indoor dark light proofs contrast

In the dark room, Xperia XZ appeared again in the beginning of what we said, and its color performance is a little too strong. Obviously, Sony is taking a range of artistic talents and can focus on the color performance of things. If you do not compare, you will feel that the photos taken by Sony Xperia are excellent. But in the end it is a good thing to restore the original color or try to please the user's eye is good, I can not assess the superior, it is still different from person to person.


Outdoor night proofs (1)


Outdoor night proofs (2)

Thanks to the excellent genes inherited from SLR cameras, the Sony Xperia XZ's rear camera's ISO performance has soared to 12,800. However, from the point of view of proofs, the 2500 ISO has also become obsolete. The entire picture is brighter than the iPhone 6s Plus. . However, too high an ISO can cause the sample noise to soar. In addition, the phenomenon of sky redness appeared in the Xperia XZ proofs, and it is hoped that Sony will improve this in future software updates.

Five-axis image stabilization comparison test:

In fact, in addition to the camera's triple image sensor, Sony's five-axis image stabilization is also a major feature. It can adjust the jitter of horizontal, vertical, rotation, horizontal rotation, vertical deflection through the algorithm, so that the recorded picture becomes more stable.

The following video, left for the Apple iPhone6s Plus, right for the Sony Xperia XZ (both phones are in 1080P, 30fps mode shooting).

It is easy to see that the performance of the Sony Xperia XZ 5-axis image stabilization is amazing. In the beginning of walking, the gap between the two is not obvious, but when running, Sony Xperia XZ's picture is still quite stable, and iPhone6s Plus has shaken very powerful. Unfortunately, this five-axis technology can only be used in Sony's own cameras. After testing the live broadcast software, it does not support five-axis image stabilization, and certainly does not rule out Sony's later adaptation. However, according to the usual practice of Dafa, this is almost impossible.

Comparison of photos

Sony Xperia XZ advantages:

1, the camera exhales fast, focusing speed.
2, sharp imaging, high resolution.
3, proof color saturation, especially red, green, blue three colors.
4, night proofs bright screen.
5, five axis anti-shake performance dazzling.

The lack of Sony Xperia XZ (only for 23 million pixels):

1, camera interface options are complex, easy to get stuck.
2, metering is not accurate enough, the degree of light and shade is erratic.
3, night sky is red.
4, backlight performance is more general.

After this experience, the Sony Xperia series has retained the camera key that has won my heart, and there is a feeling of using a card camera to take pictures. The Sony mobile phone camera still gives me a leading technology, optimize the feeling of lag. The imaging performance in automatic mode is good or bad. If you understand the camera and know how to adjust the parameters, you can easily use the Sony Xperia XZ to take good pictures.


Hardware performance test

Hardware performance, Sony Xperia XZ is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, equipped with 3GB of memory, 64GB eMMC flash memory, support 256GB body storage capacity expansion. With regards to the Xiaolong 820 processor, everyone should be quite familiar with it. This is the flagship processor that Qualcomm has opened in 2016 and will be widely used in the flagship mobile phones of major brands this year.

The Snapdragon 820 chip adopts the 64-bit Kryo architecture independently developed by Qualcomm. Using the 14nm FinFET technology, the CPU has a total of four cores. The highest frequency can carry 2.15GHz, and the GPU uses the independently designed Adreno 530. Comprehensive performance and previous generations have significantly improved.

In addition to the CPU/GPU, the Snapdragon 820 also features a built-in Hexagon 680 DSP. This DSP uses the new Hexagon architecture and integrates HVX (Vector Expansion) and low-power islands. Based on the low-power islands, sensor information processing can be performed, and other chips that do not need to work can be completely turned off to avoid wasting power consumption. On the other hand, based on the DSP, photos (video) can be dynamically adjusted in real time, such as increasing the brightness in the darker part, and the entire brightness of the picture is not changed, which is the so-called LTM technology.

In addition, for the mobile phone signal, Xiaolong 820 also uses TruSignal technology. When the posture of holding the mobile phone influences the antenna signal, TruSignal can intelligently use the secondary antenna of other parts of the mobile phone as the main antenna to maintain the call quality and reduce the call quality. Line rate; At the same time, the environmental changes are dynamically found for the fluctuation of the edge signals of the base station, and the deterioration results are quickly adjusted and compensated to achieve a significant increase in the call quality and achieve an effective reduction in the line breakage rate.

In the actual security Bunny Run score test, Sony Xperia XZ received a score of 120,751. The application of relatively heavy hardware performance such as large-scale 3D mobile games will not have the slightest drag. At present, the main aspects of Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 821 processor are the main frequency of CPU and GPU, and the overall performance has been improved, but there will be no obvious difference in actual use. When selecting a mobile phone, the user does not have to be overly entangled with both Snapdragon 820 and Snapdragon 821.

About running memory and flash memory. While the flagships have jumped 4GB of running memory, the Sony Xperia XZ's flagship phone still insists on using 3GB of memory. Many users may have questions, 3GB storage enough to use it? In fact, 3GB of running memory is sufficient for running Android systems. In Android 6.0, the minimum required hardware performance, 3GB is higher than the minimum requirement. However, in China, due to the lack of Google GCM (Google Cloud Messaging) push, all major applications (mainly domestic applications) will make message notifications in the background and keep it as possible to keep it awake in the background. Coupled with the domestic application of the mutual wake-up mechanism (common in Baidu, Ali, Tencent software), but also led to the tight operation of the memory.

Therefore, 3GB running memory is not enough to use depends on the user's habits. If you know how to effectively control background applications to wake up and reside, 3GB of running memory is enough. However, if you allow these software to flow freely, you will always use resources in the background. Not to mention 4GB, 6GB of memory may not be enough. In summary, the overall hardware performance of the Sony Xperia XZ still appears to be top in the first tier.

Thermal test


Under high load conditions, Sony Xperia XZ fever test

When the performance of the mobile phone was fully operational when running the points, we tested the heat of the Sony Xperia XZ. From the results, the front of the fuselage hot spots mainly concentrated in the bottom of the screen, although the maximum temperature of up to 42.1 degrees, but because the hot spots are not on the screen, so when you do not feel there is significant fever. The heat condition on the back of the camera body is very even. The temperature of the entire metal plate is not much different. This is mainly due to the good thermal conductivity of the magnesium aluminum-lithium alloy used by the Sony Xperia XZ , which is able to average the heat and dissipate heat faster.

Personal experience and summary

The meticulous use of the Sony Xperia XZ design is more than adequate. Whether it's the control of the black border, the protection of the screen glass, or the principle of insisting on the camera not standing out, it won my heart. Stereo speakers, triple image sensors, IP68 waterproof, etc. are its bonus points. The only place that I regret is its system. Although the UI design of the system is very exquisite, neither functional nor localization can be compared with deep customization systems such as MIUI and Flyme. In addition, due to the domestic application of the background chain wake-up phenomenon, leading to abnormal power consumption often occurs in mobile phones, for people like me often use mobile phones to brush microblogging, people watching the news, Sony Xperia XZ is difficult to guarantee the use of the day. Although the STAMINA mode can significantly increase the lifespan, it will severely limit the performance of the mobile phone, causing the operation of the card to affect the use of mood.

At present, the domestic Sony mobile basically only makes use of hardware to make profits, so it cannot squeeze the price to the level of domestic mobile phones. Again, most people who are really willing to buy Sony phones will not focus on hardware and software deficiencies. Because it is a flagship, it is neither the best hardware nor the best software experience. But superb industrial design and distinct selling points are often the most attractive and are currently the most missing in the mobile phone market. Many features of Sony Xperia XZ, such as triple image sensor, five-axis image stabilization, IP68 dustproof and waterproof, etc., are also not available in many mobile phones.

Worthy of praise is that Sony Xperia XZ's fever situation compared to the Xperia Z3 + / Z5 / Z5 enjoy version, with a significant improvement. The built-in software of the system has also been streamlined. There are only Baidu maps, mobile Baidu and Sina Weibo, and most of them can be directly disabled.

For the domestic mobile phone market where hundreds of flowers bloom, the Sony mobile phone is still full of great challenges. Apple and Samsung firmly control the high-end mobile phone market. The flagship products of LeTV, Xiaomi, and OnePlus continue to lower the price limit. Sony Xperia XZ up to 4999 yuan price positioning does indeed daunting mass consumers. Under the huge costs of R&D, promotion, and operation, Sony is trying to win the hearts of more users with its products, and continue to do brand premiums. The market test is even more severe. However, we cannot deny that the Sony Xperia XZ is indeed a flagship mobile phone with a very comprehensive quality.
