      Boss, 13 Sep 2019Funny thing is people love to come to conclusions by using ... moreWhen I told about Sony's mediocre flagship smartphones I didn't mean the X1. I didn't have it so far so I just rely on numerous reviews about it and peoples (not fanboys) opinion. But I used to have few Sony phones in the past like Xperia Z, Z3, Z3 Compact, Z5, X Performance, XZ2 Compact. Each and every of them was a mediocre phone to me compared to, say, Galaxy S series or iPhone of the same year. And the situation seems haven't changed much by now. Xperia 1 phone still doesn't match S10, OP 7 Pro, Huawei P30 Pro or even a year old Google Pixel 3 XL. This is what I see and feel.

          Phinch, 13 Sep 2019So you want resale value over practicality? 128gb vs 64gb ... moreOne important aspect is software. Iphones has much better software experience than expiria. Expirias will only get 1 update and you will be done. Same as what they did to xperia xzs. And their software is full of bugs and they don't even bother to fix thse bugs. And because of bugs, you will get a resale value of less than 50 bucks, not to mention this expiria 5's price will be 400bucks 6 months after debut as usual.
          P.S. xperia 6gb ram=iphone 2 gb ram
          Another P.S. I hope all sony fanyboy keyboard warriors will buy this phone in order to save expiria beacuse I love sony brand. Peace!

            Does it bother me? Yes, it does. If a company makes a remote looking smartphone, just include ir blaster. This is making me mad.

                          Xperia 5 has better screen, cameras, features, RAM, design, better download LTE, the most important thing of a phone

                                No dram = no predective capture, no anti-distortion shutter, no 960fps

                                      And no, I'm not an Apple fan at all. Just trying to remain unbiased.

                                        VectorR, 13 Sep 2019There are legitimate reasons for this. Mediocre phones for ... moreFunny thing is people love to come to conclusions by using someone else's conclusions who are fanboys themselves not comfortable with other phones or getting paid to their job which most likely is the case. That's how OnePlus has convinced every major US based reviewer to say that it's in the league with Samsung and Apple, they had reviews since day 0, even Apple blogs had OnePlus 7 reviews. OnePlus craze in US is enormous completely disproportional to rest of the world regions.

                                        Is OnePlus 7 Pro really a good phone? Yes. Is S10 a good phone? Yes. Is iPhone a good phone? Yes. Is Xperia 1 a good phone? Yes. So what's the difference? There are differences all over and that's when it becomes subjective but there is no clear good or bad. OnePlus design comes from Chinese OEM .cad file, it's cookie cutter design with good enough quality of assembly. Does that bother me? Yes. Does that bother you? No. Samsung S10 feels like it's made of plastic all over. Does that bother majority of the people? No, but it bothers me because glass coating is super thin and frame has plastic properties. But all of this is not enough to convince me that S10 or OP7Pro are mediocre devices, they just don't fit in what I believe phone should feel and look like.
