Xinito27, 07 Oct 2019Huawei screens are garbage just like their phones and camer... morePlease keep the topic. I don't care about the screens but you did include the camera so stick to that. Really? The paper specs of IMX600/650 are astronomical and with Google's algorithms (team up is unlikely), it can go toe to toe with DSLRs.
3.5mm jack is for midrange? No! It should be for all. Who settles for midrange because that is not the Will of Apple. The Will of Apple is to only buy flagships and nothing more. I've been doing that since 2007 and I shame people who are astray from that Will by buying an admittedly more complete midrange phone.

Because there are phones with SD 632 for 200$ or less.
Which is way better than SD 630 that still use ARM Cortex-A53.

As I have already told, Sony fans visiting this site is abnormally higher than real life sales suggests. Otherwise there wouldn't be many comments defending this mediocre device in everyway.

This is definitely overpriced, but you know how Sony Xperia phones work.
This will be under $300 in under 6 months. For that, you could name a lot of $300 phones with IP65/68 water resistance rating, or can you??

See that? IP65/68 with a headphone jack. It can be done so why not do that to their own flagships? I'm willing to pay extra $100 for a flagship just because of a jack.

C'mon Sony ! Really ?? 630 ? Do you still have them in your closet and don't know what to do with them ? Nobody will buy this phone as it happened with Xperia 10. If you want good sales, at least make the Xperia 8 plus with 730 and 6GB of ram but with 630 ? Nobody will buy.

Xinito27, 07 Oct 2019Xperia 1 and Xperia 5 are good phones better than yoursXperia 1 and 5 are not that great. No headphone jack and didn't utilize Huawei's IMX600/IMX650 camera sensor since they own it so Sony should have the privilege to use their own invention. I want their flagship phone to have a flagship sensor with Quad Bayer, not that 12MP trash.
Compressed >40MP downsampled to >10MP is better than pure 1xMP.

Honestly if they can bump the processor to 665 or 675 the price can be forgiven. Still expensive, but at least you got some niche phones with capable performances. But 630? Did they just clearing their stocks 630 from XA Series?

Anonymous, 07 Oct 2019Yes. Let's compare a phone from late 2019 with one from 201... moreAt $500 or less, you could still buy a Asus Zenfone 6 (2019) or a Lenovo Z6 Pro (2019) or a Mi 9T Pro (2019). All of which are better than the Sony phone in every single way.
Heck, if you have something against Chinese brands, even then you could go for Google Pixel 3a (2019) for $400 which is better than the Xperia 8 in every way.

I just dont understand Sony anymore.
Used to have a lot of their flagship phones, but defending this absurd specs device for the price is just ridiculous. Be rational.
