last year’s Xperia XZ and Xperia XZ Compact. Still spotting the

It is worthy of note that
the Sony Xperia XZ1 and the Xperia XZ1 compact are the first smartphones to
rock the latest Android operating system- the andriod Oreo. The question is,
has Sony done enough job on this devices to make you want to go out there and
get any of them when the they hit stores from next month.

nice device.but i hope they have solved the problem with the hotness experienced in previous xperia models. anyway am sticking to my iphone.
I guess it's true what they say then; " once you go Apple, it's hard to go otherwise " Good luck with your Apple.
Sony has never disappointed when it comes to early software update. I appload them for that. And for this device, they tried.
Decent specs, killer rear camera and despite the facts that it will be running Android 8.0 out of the box, the battery is a complete turn down. 2700mAh capacity is not good for this generation.
Yomi, great job! Your analysis is on point. 2700mAh is definitely a let down.
