Huh! That's sort of neat actually, though I can see myself hitting it on accident a lot with how I hold my phone.
I've been using their phones for years and have yet to accidentally hit that button. Currently using last years XZ Premium.
Some rumors saying the XZ2 Premium will be Sonys last LCD flagship. Can't wait to see what next year's Premium looks like.
It's 2 stage button so if you hold it lightly it wouldn't launch the camera. You would need to press it in with moderate force for ~1 second for it to launch the camera.
Damn, I was really hoping the XZ3 would have that 48mp sensor. Oh well.
I'm glad they haven't jumped on the notch train, but I'll miss the side fingerprint sensors from their pre-XZ2 phones.
This looks like a decent refinement of the XZ2's design (a design I didn't really care for). Don't know why they couldn't have released it six months ago and avoided the XZ2 entirely.

It looks like the Xperia XZ3 is leaking prior to tomorrows announcement:

More colors shown at the link. Here are the rumored specs:
If accurate then I can at least say I like the design a bit more than the XZ2. Was hoping to see the 48MP camera sensor in action, but I suppose that'll be next year.
sucks that it only has 4gb ram
One of the reason I still go for Sony phones....the 4k lcd.
The xz2 premium is a weird device. It's dayam heavy and kinda ugly. I had it for almost 3 weeks now and I really hate the finger print scanner placenta.
Battery is just OK, front speaker is good, screen is amazing and camera is useable.
I think I liked the XZ premium better....

SD636 for 350€ isn't a bad deal, I mean HTC's are a bit overpriced cause they still have some magic left when it comes to build quality. And that back glass is pretty damn unique. 3.5mm jack is also a huge plus, and its the 2nd and only SD636 device without a notch.

If you're in a market with Xiaomi presence, it's a terrible deal. The Redmi Note 5 has the same chipset and does absolutely everything the HTC does for ~200€ except NFC and USB-C port, and it also has a bigger battery.
That's exactly the phone I was referencing to actually. The battery is bigger by only 400mAh, and I also trust HTC in terms of build quality, aftermarket service and camera quality. Of course there are now phones out there that can cost the same for far more, Nokia 7 Plus here's looking at you, but I absolutely would pay the premium because its HTC.

The OLED 2k screen automatically makes it a better purchase than the XZ2 premium, imo. Definitely on my radar

Apparently if you pre-order via Amazon in the US you get a pair of Xperia Ear Duos thrown in. $279.99 regular price tag. Makes the price of the XZ3 and lack of headphone jack a lot better.
Well at the very least the front panel looks as good as the XA2 Plus, which was miles ahead in terms of bezels compared to the XZ2.

Hm, I'd be interest in some reviews to see if they are actually more comfortable now. I love my MDR-1000Xs, but I can't bear to wear them more than a couple of hours at most until my right ear especially gets irritated to the point of it being too uncomfortable to bear. Got some QC35s just because they're more comfortable. But the sound quality and overall convenience of the buttons and the quick attention mode are far ahead of Bose's AAC set. They're fine, don't get me wrong, but if these are comfortable like the Bose's (and hopefully don't creak as much when you're moving), they could be my next set.
The idea that Google would fake leak their phone to suddenly surprise everyone with BAM NO NOTCH seems like a really bad idea.
How many people purposefully went out and bought a different phone because the Pixel leaks look terrible?

That is a top 10 Anime Plot Twists in the making if true. How the hell could that even be remotely true.
Going back to the HTC U12 Life:
https://www.androidauthority.com/htc-u12-life-review-899552/
As the article mentions its overpriced, but I still trust HTC when it comes to making phones, and a SD636 is a much more logical choice than say, the SD450 found in the LG Q7+ which retailed for the same price. I applaud the lrice gouging from Chinese companies, but at the end of the day, despite not getting a bang for your buck, paying a bit more for something from the bigger legacy brands is always going to be worth it. And the feature set honestly isn't bad on this one, just downplayed and hampered by the insane value chinese companies offer, alongside average build quality.
You know, the Google faking rumor, I legitimately thought about whether there could be some thruth. I mean this was very aggressive leaking...

I'll ask both here and the apple thread...
First off to preface; I am dumb. I have an iphone 8 which I do like, and have no issues with... but since we are preconditioned to want new shiny things AND the fact that my contract is up in November I was thinking of giving my wife my iphone since she is having issues with hers.
I have had all android phones up until this iphone to so I am not really against going back to android or staying. I guess my question is there anything really worth upgrading to right now? S9? S9plus? I could switch carriers and get a Pixel 2 XL (but not the pixel 2) but I have heard of screen issues with it.
Or do I just wait it out? Iphone x once the new one comes out later in sept?

Wait for the new iPhones (September) and Pixels (October) before making a decision.
Yeah, I was gonna for the iphone for sure since it's only a few weeks.
I wish someone around me (Canada) reliably carried google phones.
My small pixel 2 is incredible. Most reliable phone I've ever used. It has a different panel than the 2XL you have been hearing about.
Isnt the Google Store in Canada (online)? All pixels are unlocked and can be used on all carriers.
Fake news. Most are around 850 or higher. The one 765 is US Cellular.
It is, but I don't have the kind of moolah to dish out for one, I get my phones through carriers usually.
The Google Store has payment plans just like the carriers. They also have a trade in program and typically offer a free incentive if you buy at launch.
It's open style so you wouldn't hear the difference considering you're letting in outside noise.That price and no LDAC or even Apt-X?
Regular Pixel 3 leaked. They managed to fuck this one up too https://9to5google.com/2018/08/30/f...pixel-3-surface-specs-also-confirmed-gallery/
2915mah battery is pathetic and they downgraded it to a 1080p screen.

Stop spewing nonsense. Nothing is getting downgraded.
My Pixel 2 has a 2700 mah and it gets great battery life. The screen is also 1080p.
This is a healthy bump in the battery department and perfect screen resolution. Samsung leaves their phones on 1080p be default. Lol.

My mistake. I thought Pixel 2 was 1440p. There is no way 2700mah gets you "great" battery life though if you use your phone at all.
Pixel 2 is very battery efficient. Not every Android phone uses the same amount of battery.
I notice it, but I do alot of text reading. The screen on the OP6 is nice though. It's the best 1080p screen I've used.
Pic of battery stats with sot?
Yeah okay, that's fair. You do notice it if you pay attention to text, I'll give you that.
Why has resolution suddenly become more important than pixel density? That thing is apparently 440dpi, which seems like more than enough for a phone. Battery definitely seems a little small, even if it's an upgrade over the Pixel 2, but I'm also just sensitive to battery capacity ever since my Pixel XL's battery started falling off of a cliff.
My phone was just charged in full. Heading out the door to go camping.
I always have a little charge the next day unless I game. For comparison I thought my P1 battery was crap compared to my P2.
