Sony Xperia XZ3

[amazingone]

Taiwan version has 6gb version ...

Greater China region will be having Xperia XZ3 in 6GB RAM, which is same for the Xperia XZ2 previously.

64GB but with optional SD upgrade. Tough luck when you are running dual sims. But if you are willing to backup often to your PC, shouldn't be an issue. A phone is after all just a phone, it's not a mobile storage device anyway. 64GB is just about right for all phones now. People are going cloud anyway.

4GB, a bit too little. The norm should be 6GB now. XZ2 with 4GB can understand, but i expect the XZ3 to have at least 6GB.

The only problem is variations by markets.

Paying almost similar prices to buy same phone but some country has the 6GB version.
This is bad idea for Sony.

What's wrong with Sony? XZ2 Premium and now the XZ3 still stuck on 64gb base and 4GB RAM? And outpriced for the config we are getting. It's a shame Sony never ever learns to move ahead. 128GB/6GB should be the default for 2018 yet they releasing **** configs like 64GB/4GB still.

4GB on other brands I think would lose a lot to Sony 4GB..

Sony optimised their Xperia Home UI very well that it works smoothly even if the phone is only equipped with 4GB RAM.

But it's better to have more RAM as we do more things on our phones.

Agree. With only 4GB Ram, Sony smartphones do not feel Laggy at all as we have less bloatwares installed in our phone unlike LagSung.

XZ3 looks good from pictures but i am gonna dump sony after so many years with them.
Sony's own music player and camera hangs way too often for my liking.

to be honest, I don't see 4GB phone cannot do anything that 6GB ram phone can. I rather to have longer mile age

I think if most were to run a dedicated dual SIM and have alot of media on the phone, including Netflix downloads and Spotify offline, 64GB is really nothing. It's nothing negative about what I'm saying. It doesn't work for me given that I've really like Sony phones since the Z2. Too bad they are really too slow to update core specs like storage and RAM cause their software is really solid.

Main issue about SD cards these days is that I cannot install APPs into the SD cards. Cant install whatsapp chat to SD Card, Can't have auto download for SD Card. SD card for what I also dunno..


Apps all on phone mem.

I store all my photos, videos and music on my SD card, which is very convenient when O switch phones.

I prefer those stuffs to be locally available too, though I backup my photos and videos regularly.

Have better than don't have.
Like Apple,no chance to use sd card at all.

The fruity users are used to paying more for higher internal storage, which is nonsense to me.

I still prefer the SD card, which unfortunately is not available in some android phones (xiaomi).
This is the distinction between android and fruit, which is the case for now and then.

Many Android flagships now doesn't feature SD card slots already, especially Chinese flagships.

International brands' flagships still feature SD card, which is good.

photos I have a dedicated camera (dslr and point and shoot). Music I have a standalone music player..

Its mainly the apps issue that really cheeses me. Old versions of android could do that. Then they suddenly changed it. idk why.

This is the problem from Google.

Referring to pixel phones, anyone can see that they are trying to phase out SD cards.
It is therefore no surprise that they removed the option to install apps into SD card storage in their newer firmwares.

And Sony being the cautious maker, does not attempt to include this feature since it is omitted by Google in the newer Android versions.
However this feature is still available but only by means of rooting or third-party apps.

There is also the developer options with the settings - force allow apps on external.
Not sure how it works though.

Google often don't have his own direction. Sometimes follow the bitten fruit...don't understand. Even to do so, fruit fans won't buy android la...
They should have keep those distinct function while control the fragmentation of android version, this is probably what users want to see.
No consistency...this is the main problem with android in between versions.

Variations in different markets is bad idea.
