So anyone want to clue us in on Sony's design philosophy here? Do we know why the mid rangers are getting more desirable features like thin side bezels and headphone jacks while the flagships are not? This XZ2 Plus just looks more like a flagship in a lot of ways than the XZ2.
I'm guessing these mid rangers we saw at CES and recently are just older designs they're pushing through because they already had done the R&D work on them, but it creates a very confusing message to consumers when your flagships are missing features that your mid rangers have, and some of those midrangers are arguably better designed.
I mean, if they had used the XA2 Plus design for the XZ2 Premium they could have just made the phone 2mm thicker to match the current thickness of the XZ2P and then they would've been able to push the camera and fingerprint sensor up to more sensible locations. That's just one example I can think of that would've made more sense.

Anyone noticed how rapidly "Xperia XZ2 Premium - the ultimate creation machine" video views on YouTube has grown? It grew 120,000 views since yesterday evening (14:00 CET). Now it has 400,000 views.

I will be buying one making the switch back to Sony. Then Sony will release an Ultra flagship variant either in CES or MWC and screw me over.
What I like the most about XZ2 Premium is the 16:9 screen ratio.

I thought Premium is the new Ultra since Z5P launch. Yeah, they're not the same because of the different screen sizes between the two and no pencil support.
You should try 18:9 display. I think it is great for overall daily use but a bit annoying only when viewing 16:9 pictures and videos (only a bit).

I think they increased screen just to fit DVS and Aube.
With 5.5 de device would be bit shorter.
Battery might have been compromised.
Lower ppi will help the wrgb to push brightness.

No need for OIS. High iso eliminates this need.
Bigger sensor is more important.
I read that when phone decides to use only the rgb the bw is used to improve focus.
I did not know such thing existed.
Also that HDR goes OFF with dual cam ON. Why?
Just read a comment that in HK phone costs $866 by Sony, but can be found for $700.

no it doesn't

iso is for light sensitivity while ois is for shake, quite different.

My point is:
If with iso 400 and 1/15s for example you can have same quality of iso 100 + 1/2s then OIS is no longer necessary.
Also even phones with OIS can blur pics with SS 1s..
