MNX - that's exactly what i'm talking about in my post. I can see some very slight distortion on the horizontal lines at the top and bottom edges of center. but it's every where else. again, this is normal for a wide angle lens in most cases to have some slight distortion.

you gonna take the plunge?


ALSO - i've been searching for glass screen protectors and so far,e very single one i've found that seems to be "quality" has the colored bezels instead of being entirely clear. WHAT GIVES? I don't understand. is this something people want because they want to block the mirrored bezels on the phone?

@moogoo I've ordered one from Amazon, it's due to arrive any day. I'll let you know what I think.

Same issue when I was searching for a protector for my S8+. Not sure why when it's already black around the screen. Seems like that is the trend now. Just make sure they don't cover any of the sensor at the top....

Not yet, still trying to hold out! XD

So I've got mine pre-order today. It's a dual SIM version so it's a nice addition. I also have the lens distortion, it's pretty light but it's still here. Looks like a pincushion distortion to me, it should be fixable with software, nevertheless it's practically invisible in typical photos.

Overall the phone feels very nice, it's quite an update from my Z3. The microphones are at last high quality, but unfortunately, the LED flash is crap as usual :

congrats admad!

yea i don't think the LED flash will ever been as nice as we would like. instead they are focusing on better sensors and lower aperture. enjoy your XZP

The phone is very nice (hardware wise). But software is tragic! I can't believe that a new device is packed with a software that is few years behind my previous phone...

On Z3 I had an USB mass storage option for file transfer between PC and SD card. Now it's gone, the only option for file transfer is an ultra crappy MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) which is very slow! What's the point of having USB 3.0, ultra fast SD cards when a file transferring method is limiting all that to ancient times. I intentionally bought high speed SD card for my new phone (128GB, read 100MB/s write 90MB/s) but I'm limited to 6MB/s due to shit transfer protocol? Are you kidding me?! LTE speeds are higher than cable transfer, oh the irony is killing me...

I made a test, copying a 1732 MB file to a phone external SD card. Here are the results:
Sony Xperia XZ Premium (SD card: Samsung 128GB micro SD SDXC Class 10 EVO+ UHS-I U3 100MB/s Edition, write speed 90MB/s)
Transfer time: 4m53s (293s) which gives a transfer speed of 5,9MB/s.

Sony Xperia Z3 (SD card: ADATA 32GB HC class 10, read speed 50MB/s, write speed 10MB/s)
Transfer time: 2m9s (129s) which gives a transfer speed of 13,4MB/s.

Z3 clearly wins with much slower card... I didn't use my new card there because that would totally smash XZ Premium. Before I got my new phone I did test Samsung card in my Z3, the writing speed was 30MB/s and it was limited by USB 2.0 on Z3. I was eager to see USB 3.1 on XZ Premium in action, but the result as you can see is tragic...

The next "surprise" is the Bluetooth music streaming. Track information is sent only once when the devices are connected (I stream music on my car radio). No update afterwards... So I get stuck with no information on what is being played at the moment, on Z3 everything worked fine. I guess that's thanks to new Bluetooth in XZ Premium -.-.

I'm really angry right now, basic functionality is limited to how things were 10 years ago, just great.

admad - not sure i'm experiencing the same thing? When i plug my XZP into my PC, I get a popup on my phone. It asks if i want to install software. I decline. It then has a usb option in the notification bar, which i tap and select "transfer files". When I look on my windows file explorer, my XZP is listed as a mass storage device and I can click and drag files to and from without any issue.

I have not tried bluetooth streaming yet but I do that too and I will not be happy if it only sends the track information once. i'll let you know
