shaf man, 07 Oct 2019Why does it cost so much with low specsbecause just like apple they give us quality hardware their display, battery, build quality all are top notch for usage of 4-5 years not like Chinese brands who's speakers, display and camera are going weak in 1 year usage because I have Xperia Z2 which is 4 year old and Still working fine and there is no single problem in that phone and I had MI A1 which I sold recently because it calling speaker become weak in 1 year so I can't here properly and also camera quality was also become worse in 1year

              PoveaQ, 07 Oct 2019The Japanese love their thick bezels. There's only one bezel and it's used instead of an ugly notch. Pathetic attempt to troll. The Japanese have tech that your country only wishes to have.

                It would be a decent phone at $300 price tag. At $500 though, it is just downright unappealing. SD630, LCD display, 2760 mAh battery, large forehead, etc just make it a poor purchase at that price point. No wonder they made it Japan exclusive. It would certainly flop in the western market.

                  IMO, Sony and Nokia have trouble when choosing chipset for their phone

                    Imagine paying $500 for SD630

                      Wow 505$ thats so cheap for a below average chipset which you can afford to buy at 240 or less. Sony should stop trying so hard and they should concentrate on there TV and other products

                        The only thing I really like about this device is the color. Finally an all white phone is here after a few years from Sony. :D
                        Oh and this naming scheme is really confusing, where is the logic behind it?

                          i really dont understand Sony's naming convention for their smartphones nowadays... from Xperia 1, to Xperia 5, Xperia 8......

                            21:9 screen ratio? don't tell me this is gotta be the screen ratio n this 2020? no.. no.. pls.. Smartphone Companies... pls don't imitate Sony's screen to body ratio.. I can feel it that other smartphone companies such as Huawei will soon copy this ratio. then will be followed by other competitors. just like what happen to Samsung Fold. the hell!? stop copying somebody's work. 21:9 aspect ratio is way tall that the video will be bent into wide. lmaoo..

                                  Sd 630 really, I think that Qualcomm, doesn't evan produced that any more, what a plonkers!

                                    As a life long Sony fan I find SD 630 laughable. Minimum 730 would be better for the price point
