However, the company has announced that it will continue to release new smartphones at least for the foreseeable future.

Sony gets additional points for applying several and very noticeable design changes on the Xperia XZ2. Would Sony's new phones ditch the sharp angles?

The Samsung Galaxy S9 is generally covered the most in terms of exposure, as Samsung is the top dog when it comes to Android flagships. Now, out of these two, Sony Xperia XZ2 has been spotted with 6GB of RAM in some Asian countries.

The company's long overdue flagship redesign is happening, but you may not like some of the new stuff the 5.7-inch Xperia XZ2 will bring to the table later this month. The Xperia XZ2 has glass on the back while the XZ2 is plastic, which also means that the smaller version doesn't support wireless charging.

Both devices support slow-motion video capture - up to 720p in the S8 and up to 1080p in XZ2. We really like this about the phone as other OS on some of the more mainstream products don't give you much in the way of customisation at all.

The Xperia XZ2 also features the world's first native 3D creation on a smartphone - 3D Creator - now available with greater flexibility for 3D scanning. As for the internal storage, the XZ2 has 64 GB while there will be 64 GB, 128 GB, and 256 GB variants of the S9.

And the 5.8in iPhone X screen also has the benefit of being an OLED panel - and a damn stunning one at that, thanks to manufacturer Samsung. The list of launches also includes a number of flagship smartphones from the likes of Samsung, Nokia, Sony and even Asus. Certainly not the most convenient place to have a front camera, but hey, it looks very cool, so we think it's a win overall.

Sony's Xperia XZ smartphones typically come with advanced features and up-to-day components, but fail to attract the kind of customer attention that perennial favorites from Apple and Samsung do.

Reports of multiple bodies found in West Brookfield home
The Quaboag Regional School District said two of the children were West Brookfield Elementary School students. The bodies of a woman and three young children were discovered inside a MA home Thursday, authorities said.

Qualcomm's Snapdragon 845 processor powers the phone, as well as 4GB of RAM so expect both phones to perform at lightning speed.

Those looking for a different entertainment experience could find it with Sony's Xperia XZ2. They offer four hours of battery life and also come with their own charging case, which can deliver a further three full charges before it needs to be recharged.

With a tagline "The Camera".

Also, the fingerprint sensor has moved from the right-hand side of the frame to the rear of the phone, below the main camera.

So, it seems the end of this popular port gets one step closer as another smartphone joins this controversial audio revolution.

As well as having fantastic options when creating content, the XZ2 also provides the ability to upscale any content being watched or streamed into HDR - making everything that you watch on your phone look it's best, regardless of where it came from.

There is a 'Dual Pixel" 12MP rear camera that has a "dual aperture mode' which can record 4K video at a maximum of 60fps. In general, the camera specifications are exceptional and may even be able to compete with Samsung.
