May his intention is to creat the xperia xz specific thread?
The other thread are mainly for previous x series i.e. xpeira x, x performance...
Same thing la, why there are galaxy note 5, note 7, galaxy s5, s6, s7 separate threads.
Why no one ask them to combine all galaxy note series into one thread, all galaxy s into one and so on?
Indeed. Hard to talk specifically about XZ when the tread mix up like that. This one dedicated to Sony flagship XZ only as xperia barely get the attention lately
Better photo quality than X Performance and Z5 Premium but still grainy to able to compare to S7 Edge, IPhone 6S, HTC 10, LG G5 and Huawei P9.
You have more control in manual mode. Reduce the ISO in darker situation. Its 23MP sensor you have many way to play with it if you don't really relay on superior auto mode
