Buy XZ3 now or wait for XZ4? Sales drop at the moment, worth it?

Hi there!

Sorry if this is a common question but I rarely use forums at all but I'm looking for a new phone and since Xperia phones are the only ones I've used and will not change my mind about going to another brand I will post a question here (sorry if it's misplaced or the subject already been up in another thread).

I'm thinking about getting a Xperia XZ3 but when we now are close to year end and this is (only) a midterm flagship and you read all good things, specs and info about leaks from XZ4 arriving at the begining of next year. Is it worth to wait beacuse next release (XZ4) will be soooo much better than this release concerning battery, camera, processor, ram and other updates?

At the moment I'm still on the old Xperia Z5 but it's keeps dying on me probably due to a battery fault.

In Sweden (where I live) it's a sale on the Xperia XZ3 equivalent of 560 USD for a short while. 

Other alternative is to wait for Xperia XZ4 and it's not soo far from release.

Thanks!

Edit: follow-up question: is that a bargain price for XZ3?

To see if the price is good I'd recommend to use a price comparison portal/website...I'm not from Sweden but there should be an equivalent to geizhals.at and idealo.at for the swedish market.

The best price for a new Xperia XZ3 in Austria was €549 on Friday, now it's around €600. Hence I would say yours is a good offer.

But do consider that you might get a better price when you buy it from a private person who got it together with a mobile contract and doesn't need it. I bought my XZ3 for €450 a few ago, it was new and the factory packing was still on, also the warranty of 2 years. Only problem was that I had to take the black version because that's what the guy bought

Regarding waiting for XZ4: You can always wait for the next and better product but you'll end up always waiting and never buying. Once the XZ4 will have an affordable price the XZ5 will be coming up.
The XZ3 is the most refined phone I've ever had from Sony and it's near perfect in every area -they even nailed the camera this time! So if you want a new phone now then buy it, you won't regret it.
