This looks to be a welcome return to form for Sony. Loved my Sony phones and reluctantly moved after the untimely death of my Z5. It seems like they have ticked most of the boxes for a flagship phone, with the exception being a smaller than average battery and no headphone jack. The camera seems to finally have stepped up to the plate and delivered on the potential previous Xperias have only hinted at.

It's a pity they are no longer ranged in NZ as I think it would be an ideal replacement for my P20 Pro when I look to upgrade.

Too little, too late. Great device but it's not going to help Sony.

Unfortunately I have to agree. They've really got nobody else to blame but themselves. They have such a huge fanbase but they have wasted it and people have moved on to other brands that offer better features and more value for money. It will be interesting to see what price this comes in at. I can see it being Note 9 type expensive.

I'm up to about my 5th Sony phone in a row now with my XZ2. I suspect that it will be my last.

@sbiddle and that seems to be the overriding feeling from a lot of current/previous Xperia owners. I wonder how long before Sony pull the plug on the mobile phone business completely?

They've already pulled out of the mobile phone business in a number of markets.

I used to have an Xperia Z2 and I remember going to Japan and there were tons of other people using Sony phones, whereas hardly anyone had them back here in NZ. Not sure if that's still the case nowadays though
