I think the quoted price is awesome. I thought it was gonna be more than that. Pretty much the same price as LG G6 but you get more features. I just hope Sony increases the battery capacity to 3400 and add support for Quick Charge 4.0.

thing is.. sony wins best in show almost every show! but it doesn't translate to sales because of poor marketing, price, and biased reviews against sony from major tech sites.
What biased? I hate it when people claim this,same BS I see at BlackBerry Forums.
If bias was a thing then not a single Chinese OEM would be growing outside China, as the USA have a whole smear campaign go against them.
Let's put this the way it really is, Sony have not stood up to the challenge until this year, the XZ Premium will get great reviews because FINALLY Sony are actually putting in some real effort to compete.
This whole thing of whining about "bias" pure and utter BS. The top reviewers on YouTube tend to give every device a chance, and I have watched techsites do the same, they tend to like Sony but get disappointed by what seemed like their lack of interest in competing.
The XZ Premium changes everything. I'd get it over the LG G6 any day. Now let's hope Sony actually market this thing properly for once.

tseps - there is clear bias when they are attacking things on a sony phone but praise or ignore the same thing on an iphone or galaxy. if it's bad it's bad across the board. shouldn't change cause of who makes it.

Agree. The gsmarena guy who did the mini review on XZ Premium was being bias, especially on the chrome version. Because it is really beautiful so he is trying to discredit the design because of fingerprints and other useless things when Apple iPhone jet black and even the LG G6 are not any better in that regards.
And he said that LG G6 is nice and the best device of MWC 2017 when it is ugly and using last years hardware and overpriced! He praised the bezel-less design but in reality, with that weird aspect ratio, there's no real advantage to it really. You are just ending up with black bars on the side when viewing horizontally.
He even complained about the battery when LG G6 has a bigger display nd uses a li-po battery which is known to have a lower chardged density that li-ion.
I am so happy that phonearena was not able to play with working unit of XZ Premium. I have watched several videos on youtube where the reviewers were able to play with the device on.
The guy from theverge is totally biased. He has not even had his hands on the production unit of the device but he already complains about a lot of things.
Sony has been getting bad rep from these online reviewers. But at least, people are starting to notice that Sony phones are just as good, or maybe even better than the competition. Don't cheap out on marketing this time.

I watched all sorts of XZ Premium, LG G6 and BB KEYone hands-on and "reviews".
I am not really picking up bias, more like reviewers pointing out things they don't like in that particular device. E.g. Marques Brownlee pointing out how the LG G6 was not all that it's cut out to be with its near bezeless design, I also watched the GSMArena's and The Verge's videos, in all honesty I feel like you guys are being incredibly oversensitive, I understand you love Sony, but some little criticisms really don't mean bias.
With each device they seem to have something they like and dislike and each with a good reason why. None of what they said is neither here nor there, any mature adult can watch those videos and pick up on the fact that these guys are just giving an idea of what the device is like but neither are saying stay away from it.
The GSMArena guy is not "discrediting" anything lol, there are countless reviews that point out that S7 Black and iPhone 7 Jetblack are fingerprint magnets, including GSMARENA.
If you want nothing but positivity rather stick to Sony's press material.
So far I'm seeing nothing but excitment for the XZ Premium, each reviewer seems impressed and almost glad Sony are putting in a good effort, it's refreshing to see such excitment over a Sony phone.
I hope they push this thing hard in the USA for once, they could grow a nice market there, many of the reviewers seem to want to see more Sony that side.

The S8 is expect to be around £750 for the smaller one and £850 for the larger one too. So the XZP looks a bargain next to both the Samsung and LG.
