something to be happy.

I think the high global adoption rate of XZ is highly attributed to the fall of Note 7 and no other attractive phones (maybe pixel phones).

It is not hard to understand some features missing in the land of patents.

Hi guys, another question: the NFC chip is on the top left, beside the front camera right? But I can't get my smartband to connect to it Any idea what I could be doing wrong?

hmm.. so only the patent owner can include fingerprint scanners into their phones? o.o

Some factors to take into consideration.

Phone makers to pay royalties to use the feature or functions stated in a patent.

Sony may expect the sales in US would not justify paying for the patent to use the fingerprint scanner.

Not sure what was happening but none of the SG Xperias had gotten any update released within the past 1 month? The last one managed to get update was XA Ultra with Sep security...

Wonder what is taking them so long haha. My XZ starts to lagg slightly alr, was waiting to update to Android N and do a factory reset...

I guess it will take awhile...

I also find mine a bit lag. Even when is new without much stuffs.

I suspect it was due to Smartcleaner being too aggressive...currently trying without it...if it isn't then will have to wait for firmware updates...

Most of my previous Xperias also does the same thing, minor issue such as stuttering UI, non responsive touch are often solved within a few firmware updates after phone release...even my Z2 and Z3+ is running very smoothly now...

For me I find some occasional lag after charging. No idea why...

My Z3+ lags after charging I understand... but XZ? hmm

Will carry out a factory reset today and see how it goes HAHA

Do the pre-installed apps like Amazon, AVG, Xperia Lounge etc play a part? I get notifications every now and then, a little annoyed as previously in Z5 and Z5 Compact could easily uninstall these apps. Regret my itchy finger to tap and launch these apps in the first place, should have left them alone. But I could not feel that the xz has lagged. The only thing is hard to find glass protector. Sony shop bring in full screen but it doesn't contact the screen and tapping on screen is not so sensitive at times.

Can always clear cache/data on those apps to reset it or just disable them. I personally use Amazon so I am keeping it, same with Xperia Lounge as it sometimes give discount code/voucher only with notification off. AVG disabled however as it is causing longer time to install app and the annoying notification...

Currently only had some weird random stutter on UI especially swiping to Google Now when I suddenly wake it from long sleep. Currently turned off SmartCleaner and that stutter and app reloading seem to have gone...

Now I am just monitoring it and waiting for Singapore nougat firmware...
