Bought the XZ at DirectD last weekend. It was to replace my Samsung S7 which will be given to another family member. First impressions after updating to nougat are positive especially on the way it looks, the smoothness of the software and the location of the fingerprint sensor. As expected, the camera is not very good and the 3GB RAM might be an issue in the future. However it is a great device at the price I paid.

Also done some quick camera comparison with the S7.

Conclusion

XZ and S7 comparable in natural light, with S7 having an edge in white balance and dynamic range. In handheld low light, the XZ reminds me of my old Xperia ZL while the S7 produces great images.
