HILARIOUS... MahdiMTT actually made an account just to bitch at nodar...
Personally, I hope Sony stays LCD. OLEDs are nice and all, but there isn't a single mobile OLED out there that doesn't have some kind of blue or green tint at an angle, especially as the panel ages. Yes, even the samsung ones. The LG ones are even worse, as we saw with the pixel 2 XL issues. If sony goes OLED, they will be using LG panels based on recent news, which would mean we'd have Pixel2 XL type problems, potentially. I don't think sony can afford that kind of bad press especially if this is supposed to be "their year". Then again, they tend to say that every year.
If they go OLED, no matter where they get the panels, I hope their QC is much better than google's since I know for sure their customer service for replacements/exchanges will be no where near as good.
Only real benefit of OLED to me, is the possibilities of different layouts and configurations in terms of hardware in the phone. I wouldn't mind a thicker phone with a much larger battery. I find phones are a bit too thin these days. Add a few MMs for a few thousand MAHs. I don't think anybody will complain about that tradeoff.

We have been chatting about the " Pro" model for a good while.
A phone that might cost almost $1000.
I think the oled is possible.
New cpu/gpu, new design, second cam and bigger battery are not enough to raise price that much.
In many locations XZ Premium was cheaper than Z5.
Must be other stuff we dont know yet.
And that interview the SM guy says 4K oled would be coming soon.
If he was talking about IFA 2018 or MWC 2019 I dont think he would say that.
Nobody uses soon for what's coming in 6 months or 1 year.

yes the pixel did have a blue tint, but I feel LG knew this and has been slowly trying to fix it, saw a YT video where a person bought the first release of the pixel 2 and then one later manufactured after the blue tint info, and the newer device has less of a blue tint. The blue or green tint will be there since from what i've seen most oled panels have more green and blue subpixels.
That being said, oled tech is evolving all the time, and the panels we had say 3-4 years ago are not the panels we have today with regards to life span, burn in and colour reproduction.

Yes.. It does not look the same because different height.
Then it give us the impression they are not same diagonal.

OLED has its advantages but for me the XZ Premium LCD is the highest quality screen. I like Note 8 of course but 4K vs 2K, there is no contest. Samsungs can be adjusted if you don't like the fake vibrancy but a lot of people actually like that so let them be. Things like burn in are ultimatley down to quality of the panel, I've never heard any Samsung user complain about burn in while you see the Pixel 2 has a load of deficiencies. I have never seen anything that shows that OLED saves battery vs LCD in real world tests and it makes you wonder why people aren't able to squeeze much more out.
On a side note, I think the UI needs an overhaul because I find Oreo so inconsistent. I couldn't get a full black UI using Substratum so I now have a full white one which I'll accept because all my apps are similar. I hope an OLED Xperia would have a true black UI and I'd like some redesigning of menus etc. as some of the Substratum themes have little subtle changes that make the UI look so nice. Either make a change or allow for themers to change as much as possible.
OLED in early ramp up production maybe suffer with multiple issues
but as more as production line keep running, they usually iron out these kind of problems
which is maybe little hope for company like Sony, that can't stay in group of early adopters
Yes, UI is supposed to get redesign with more consistency approach, totally agree on this.

What do we all think of this render of the XZ Pro.
Personally I think it looks brilliant.
