Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This review is for the Sony Xperia XZ. To start, I'm running T-Mobile here in the northeast. Also, we have other Xperia phones (Z Ultra, Z3 and Z5), and this is replacing a Samsung Galaxy S7, as my patience with Samsung and Apple is exhausted. (My wife has always had Samsungs and even she was getting ticked off) First, I'm 100% convinced that so called "Experts" who review phones are being paid by the phone manufacturers, and I'll explain. Take screen resolution. They complain that a particular phone is weak based on specs. Never mind that your eye can't tell the difference between 720p and 1080p with screen sizes less than 46", any 5" phone that doesn't have 1080p is committing the ultimate sin in the view, as long as it's not Apple. For me, the order of importance in a phone is the following (starting with the most important): A) It should be able to get a good signal from a cell tower. B) The WiFi should work well and be stable C) The camera should take nice quality pictures. D) It should be snappy and respond quickly E) The build quality of the device and display. My wife has the S7. Wherever we traveled, she'd hit weak spots and lose connectivity, while those of us with the Sony phones never have issues (she has had issues in the heart of Manhattan, while I'm getting 5 bars with my old Ultra). At home, I have 3 access points, and the channels are spread out. All the Sony phones have no issues switching from one AP to another, while the Samsung would lose it's mind. The Cameras are equivalent (edge to Sony), the Samsung has a nicer display, but the build and feel of the XZ is just at another level. As the older Xperias Z's are superior to any of the Samsungs, the new XZ is magnitudes better (there is just no comparison). and that's why I brought up the issue of "professional" reviews. This phone makes the previous Xperias look cheap and they are great phones in and of themselves. How Sony is not dominating the market is beyond me. I don't know much about the LG and HTC phones, but having owned an iPhone and various Samsung Galaxy phones, they can't hold a candle compared to this new XZ
