Ang tipid ng freebies sa PH, you only get a relatively cheap BT headphones, sa Europe either PS4, PS4 VR or yung bagong High Res headphones nila worth $400 din. Ako naman, di ko bina base yung buying decisions ko sa mga reviews. Matatawa ka na nga lang, other independed reviewers mas lamang naman para sa kanila Xperia especially sa camera tests. The M4 aqua is a midrange phone anyway, ang highlight niya lang naman dati is affordable water resistant phone. Also, 2015 was quite a bad year for Qualcomm, yung Snapdragon 615 at 810 sobrang bilis at napaka init kahit Facebook at Youtube lang.

I was thinking of getting the S9 after having 3 flagship Xperias, na curious ako sa variable aperture pero pag low light given the right conditions mas ok pa results ng f2.0 lens ng Sony kesa sa f1.5 ng Samsung. Check GSMArena's Galaxy S9 and XZ2 shootout.

Also, most reviewers and commenters complain about the lack of carrier availability, siyempre most people would want to get their phone from the carrier na kasama ng plan nila.

If camera lang ang habol sa phone, then i would suggest getting a point & shoot camera like the cybershot or a true dslr camera, especially if you're into photography because of course, they are used in taking pictures. I could recall that there are some cameras that allow the transfer of files directly to the phone so it would be easy uploading from there. The advantage of smartphones these days eh karamihan ng consumers would also use it for surfing and taking pictures or selfies, aside from the usual communication through calls or sms.

Regarding the cameras of smartphones though, I've heard that the iphone 7 despite having only 12mp, still has better quality than the flagship xperia before that has 23mp. Don't know if this is true kasi i don't have an iphone nor the flagship xperia eh.
