Read a very interesting article I must have missed from my MWC web browsing last week regarding Sony and their development of a dual camera set up.
http://bgr.com/2018/02/27/xperia-xz2-no-dual-camera-sony-flagship/amp/
Apparently they have a dual camera system which was on display at MWC, but the device powering it was kept under wraps. They don't want to release a phone with the dual cameras until they feel it is 'right'.
From what the article says, Sony are looking to create a dual camera set up that excels in low light and the test subject seemingly blew the iPhone X out of the water.
Very interesting. Be good to see them implement it sooner rather than later though. I imagine an XZ2 Premium could be the first to use this and hopefully they put the 4k HDR display back in there too.

They may be leaving it all a little too late though.
The XZ2 was my favourite phone reveal of MWC but the Nokia 8 Sirocco wasn't far behind. I just don't really like the curved edges despite really thinking I would be getting it day one upon reveal.
Sony seem to have a big problem where they release too many phones in the year and don't really give their flagship a chance to get going.
I'd feel put out buying the XZ2 only for the 3 and / or the Premium model to come 4 months later. But it's a trend that happens all too often with them.
Slightly unrelated the the above, what the hell is with the thickness of this phone? It's very chunky. Seemingly no reason for it either as it's not like the battery is massive. I also don't understand the huge downgrade to the front facing camera. 5 megapixels from 13? Sheesh .
Yeah Sony makes very odd decisions. I wouldn't be surprised if they announced a new phone in a few months that competes with the XZ2, or makes it obsolete.
I like the simplicity of Google and Apple, you know when the new phone is coming, no surprises.
