[Sony Xperia XZ1  Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
Well I didn't take any offense to the Apple thing, just sayin' for the MOST part they are pretty reliable, even if they do seem to usually get features Androids had for years kinda late. lol

Yeah but in my experience, the T-Mo reps don't usually keep up with current info, unless OF COURSE it's Samsung or Apple-related. lol

They won't put out a statement cuz it's not Apple or Samsung. Or LG or Motorola. lol

Well it sounds like they told u the same thing they told me: they weren't sure. lol So until I see some real credible proof, I'm not gonna assume the XZ1 will have VoLTE on T-Mo. The XZ1 though I feel very confident will. It's one thing for 1 credible site to get it wrong. It's another thing for 4-5 sites to though. lol Even Android Headlines said BOTH, so it still was saying the XZ1 Compact was getting it as well.

Yeah..........well Spectrum was quoting Android Headlines, not really the other way around. If you can reach Spectrum and tell them to remove it from their site, that would be good.

Yes, they did make a comment last year about "pulling back" from certain countries, including the U.S. However, the fact that they certified VoLTE with T-Mo for the XZ1 and are making some of their best phones yet might mean MORE positive change is coming? Or maybe it's just wishful thinking for me?

I only like Sony and HTC phones for the most part. Samsung to me is OVERRATED AS F and I'm actually basing that off my experience with TWO of their phones (S5 & S7), both of which I did not enjoy owning, aside from Samsung Pay. lol Motorola..........I think they only work on Verizon right? LG seems to have really outdone itself on the vastly superior (in like EVERY category, including audio especially) V30, but it's still a phablet, and I am NOT a phablet guy. The XZ Premium though I saw in my local Best Buy a couple weeks ago. I don't care too much about screens, but MY GOD that phone was MAGNIFICENT! lol I mean my jaw dropped when I saw that screen. And the back side is the classiest and nicest looking ever on an Xperia phone that I've ever seen. I really prefer metal unibodies over glass-backed phones these days, but that phone was just stunning. And that was upscaled 4K HDR that I saw. Didn't even pull up any 4K HDR content, but I will if I go back. But that phone doesn't have VoLTE for T-Mo customers, so no way I'd buy it just on that. If it did though I'd maybe bite the bullet. But yeah, I want them to stick around, but also BE BETTER too. Since Google just bought HTC, we have no idea for sure how HTC's future phones are gonna be, and if they'll ever go back to non-phablet flagships like my 10. Sony at least seems to be offering not only the headphone jack still, but they also are still offering non-phablet flagships like the XZ1 as well fortunately. So I just want them to keep getting better and not stupider. lol

Well if you wanted the Compact, then you might as well get it, since it will have VoLTE too. Yeah the body is a plastic/metal (one site said "glass-infused" too? lol) one, the front camera is slightly less good, and the screen is smaller & 720p, but all the other specs are the same, EVEN (and oddly) the battery size too! lol
