@moogoo After using Vanilla Android for so long, I just could not stand what Samsung did to the UI... So, there's many things in the UI that just cannot stop annoying me. Personally, I dislike the color on the display. Hate the stupid bixby button, as I constantly press on it by accident.... Because it's a curved edge screen, there's no temper glass screen protector that has full adhesive. This will cause touch sensitivity to be reduced since the glass is not in direct contact. Since I'm really into a mobile game that requires constant contact with the screen, I have to go to a TPU film protector. Those are no fun. Honestly, if I wasn't forced to get a new phone...
Due to actually having a functional phone, I'm kind of leaning towards the wait and see approach. As there was quite a few issues with my Z1 as it was the earlier batch, which was resolved when I sent it back for a replacement. Though, I really want to get rid of my S8+. Probably won't sell it, just pass it over to my mother, as she's been wanting a new phone for a while.

Maratonmannen - thanks! I got the same case. it's sitting on my desk waiting for my XZP! haha! We're all gonna have similar looking phones it seems.
MNX - i hear ya. every time i see the samsung UI i want to puke. it's too much. i love the vanilla/sony approach. it's clean. as for screen protector, the roxfit one i have actually has adhesive over the entire back of the protector, not just along the edges. that was my biggest complaint with the one i got for my XZ, which i eventually ripped off cause it kept coming off. Only complaint with the roxfit one is they color in the top/bottom bezels instead of leaving it all clear. Not sure why they chose to do that. I'm going to see how it looks and decide whether I want to keep it on. But it definitely has adhesive all along the back and has full coverage over the curved glass edges.

nice vid.
not sure why people are going apeshit about squeezing the phone to launch the camera. sony has a dedicated camera button that does the same thing!
I wonder why Sony doesn't enable RAW format? It would be very much welcomed, but I suppose it's not really necessary for a mobile phone camera.

Here are 6 photos I took today. 3 with the XZ and 3 with the XZ Premium, both phones were set at max resolution 23mp and 19mp respectively and both were in manual mode with all other settings such as ISO and WB are set to auto. Let me know what you think of the image quality. Conditions aren't perfect as it was windy and slightly overcast today. Enjoy.

One thing I've noticed between the shots is even though the MP count has dropped on the XZ Premium the file size for each of the shots is pretty much the same as the XZ.

XJ - nice pics. XZP definitely has sharper images and cleaner details. especially around the corners. Very impressed. Can't wait to get mine! MONDAY won't be such a bad day this time around!
Also, I don't seem to notice any distortion whatsoever.

@moogoo The premium definitely has the cleaner images out of the two, colours are pretty much bang on with both pics as you'd expect as well. I think the HTC U11 will have a rival for top spot over at DXO when the finally get round to reviewing the device.

I'm very jealous XJ.
EE called me today to say they had cancelled the order. When I upgraded, they sent me an email to say I needed to call them as there was a problem with the order - but that went into my spam folder. They contacted me via text and told me I could upgrade for free by mistake - but it was actually going to be an extra £160! So in the end I told them to stuff it - while in a fit of pique.
Regretting it now. Pics looks great.
