I'm talking about camera performance wise haha. The Z3+ is vastly disappointing. lol sold it in less than 20 days of ownership.

Can say that the XZ has the best camera that Sony mobile ever did. It is decent when compared to competitors.

Is the reception bad at your area? Coz bad reception will affect battery life.

Thought the same but checked the signal bar seems pretty stable and standard. LTE around 2-3 bar.
I'm using maxis.
Maybe this weekend wanna find time to reset back.

Maxis consume more battery than other telco.
Before this, my z3 was using celcom, finish work still having around 55%, maxis just left about 35%.

My z3 has much better speaker than xz(one reason i flashed a nice mod).
The mod developer admit that xz has downgraded sound quality. (worse speaker and using Qualcomm driver, while z3 using external tfa(amplifier))

Using XZ for more than a week, I have 0 regret. I got i on the first day it reach Malaysia market, not preorder, direct buy at Sony Centre. The things is I didn't compare XZ to any other phone, coming from a lower end phone before, this is a huge upgrade for me.

And, everything about XZ is great if not the best. Battery life, screen, speaker(sound quality), signal, smoothness, charging time, built quality. And it's rare to see people using Sony nowadays, at least in my circle. So being unique is something I'm looking to. icon_rolleyes.gif

the batt life on mine had been satisfactory. depending on how much game i play, it can reach SOT of between 4 hours - 5 hours in a single charge.

speaker is ok wor... it may not be as loud as some other phone, but definitely not on the soft side lor. no problem watching video and listening to music at all

my opinion so far
1. battery life
mediocre. assumption of Sony greatness in optimizing, light software UI, small screen and FullHD screen to translate for good battery life somehow not materialize. i dont play game, SOT hardly can reach 4 hrs. (sync always ON, location set as battery saving, auto brightness).

2. fingerprint
demn good! thumbup.gif

3. smoothness.
impressive when consider it only have 3gb ram. satisfied and smooth. no issue. only minor gripe noticed kinda lag/slow response when using RSbrowser when press new tab.

4. build quality
picture didnt justify it's beauty. it looks ordinary but when holding it, feel great!
nice in hand feel. screen to body ratio can be better though laugh.gif

5. dual speaker
meh. quality not that good. maybe better a bit then others but the loudness really like sweat.gif
soft. at least last time when using Z2, i'm satisfied with the speaker when compared to other flagship at that time. this one like, common. it is Sony, should have great audio also.

6. reception & call quality
good. happy. no issue like any other smartphones i used before

7.UI
light and easy. i like it. much better than S7Edge UI. but bomb7 Grace UI also pleasing to the eyes.
sony music app among the best.

8. video recording
no personal comment. dont bother to record any video even with previous smartphones. from youtube, sony EIS/steadyshot looks awesome.

9. still camera
in good lighting, satisfied. nice! smile.gif thumbup.gif just need to ensure steady hand but autofocus can be better though and saving picture even @ 8mp, for me i would say damn slow. need to blame UFS storage in boomsung phone.
low light...so so. im not camera guy that like to fiddle with the setting before take picture, for me, when wanna snap, press wanna it to be nice and good. but with XZ, need to put more effort in capturing photo.
in general, a bit disappointing coz after few z series generation, a great mobile camera sensor maker and great camera PNS/DSLR maker still playing catch-up game in camera optimization in mobile phone even with their own sensor whistling.gif
other OEM like HTC, Google, Samseng or even chinese OEMs able to finetune Sony's sensor to produce better image and Apple by using much smaller size sony sensor optimize to produce better image than flagship Sony sensor in Sony phone then something not right in Sony's camp.

10.will i recommend to average joe outside?
nope. some of my friends who are looking to replace their bomb7, asked me about this XZ when saw i used this phone the last 2 days in office, i just told them better just get S7e to replace their bomb7.
when asked why i bought this, i just said, typically i favored either Samsung flagship or Sony flagship, so it's time for sony. after all i had used the last 4 samsung flagships (s6, s6e, s7e, n7)
and i told them,the spec certainly not worth to buy this phone @ 2699 from retail shop. if wanna buy js buy from gemfive, find seller @ 2499 and use discount coupon to make it around 2.28k.
if wanna pay 2.5k, better js get Huawei P9+ or S7e.

the above opinions may sounds negative but yeah that's my personal thought it.
do i regret bought it? nope. smile.gif
using XZ naked without any case, the feeling itself is priceless.
