Does moving apps to microsd have would cause a performance drop instead of it being resided in the internal storage? (which is UFS 2.1)?

It will load slower, yes.

The fastest sd is still no match for UFS memory

Well i was hoping to get a new sony xperia xz premium but than I heard that it has lcd display while for daydream a phone should have oled display.

So here are my questions: 

Q1) Does it support daydream or will be able to?

Q2) I am a huge sony products fan and it would be awesome if sony releases its own vr headset for phones. So is there any chance of it happening?

[Lord_viridis]

Q1, no

Q2, who knows, they certainly are in the vr market with PSVR, so never say never.

yeah it's gone, but you can use Android Device Manager which does pretty much the same thing https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.adm

Is the double tap function coming back? i also would like to request sony to bring back their own world clock. Both functions are what i use the most on sony lineup of phones.

At the present time, there are no plans to bring back tap to wake, but who knows if they will bring it back, demand does seem to be there.

As for world clock, I never used it so didn't even notice it gone tbh, you could probably search Google for the apk and get it loaded manually.

any major brand (SanDisk, Samsung and so on) should be fine. just check the storage speed before purchasing.

I cant seem to get the predictive capture working on my XZ Premium. Tried shooting both fast & slow moving objects under auto mode but none of them triggers the predictive capture. Anyone has this issue?
