Sony Xperia XZs Goes On Sale April 5
Cool features not available in US market?
No Battery Care and no fingerprint sensor for phones sold in USA market? Makes no sense. Looks like a really good phone LTE-band wise (LTE (Bands 1,2,3,4,5,7,8,12,13,17,19,20,26,28,29,32,38,3 9,40,41) and the crazy megapixeled cameras. Also don't see any documentation about it being a dual-SIM phone - even though it says so on their website, nothing in their White Paper or User Manual confirms. Typical Sony confusion.

We've been led to believe that agreement will expire some time before the end of 2017 and the next round of Sony handsets will indeed have active fingerprint readers for U.S. versions. Not a great explanation, but it's all Sony has been willing to give us.
