Android phones depreciate very rapidly. No one should splurge more than $1k for an Android phone. Especially the more obscure brands (e.g. Sony Xperia) which shops might be reluctant to buy used units for resale, because there is no demand for them.

      vrvly, 17 Mar 2020Do not forget xperia lacks any new features like: 8K, sharp... more8K without HDR is crap. 8K Needs Minimum 60fps who Needs plain 8K with crap.No thanks. As I said in my other comment, who Needs crap Quality for 1500$, Instead Focus on other Areas to imporve. (cough cough samsung). Useless 16GB ram. Who will do Multitasking on Mobile phone like seriously?? I can open 60+ Chrome tabs on my 8GB Laptop without lag.

      Sharp Output?? Are we Talking About Samsung rear and front camera?? Overasturated Instagram Colours??? No thanks. No professional photographer calls them nice. I prefer natural Pictures of Sony and Nokia.

      108MP with nanobinning tech is 12MP equivalant lmao. Sony using 1/1.7 sensor size, biggest for any Smartphone till now with 12MP. Which means it is going to ebat crap out of S20 Ultra in Terms of hardare raw Pictures. Software processing we have to wait till it Comes out. Read the speacs again please. Thanks

      I think I have explained 10 times on this Forum till now, Why the hell do anyone Need 120Hz??? Do you Play with notification bar 24/7 all day?? Cause You won't even notice any difference in any other Areas whether ist 60Hz or 120Hz. There are no games on smarpthone that needed 120Hz. It is just Gimmick like 108MP by Samsung. No Thanks I Need better Areas to be imporved like god Tier 20 AF/AE in sony.

      Zoom?? 100X zoom with crap Quality?? Why do you Need tht 100x zoom again with that qulity?? Are you ATM PIN thief??

      Coming to bezels, those very small bezels without notches is the one that makesSony mobiles sexy, Plus Front end Speakers while watching movies, Videos, Music. Thanks to sony. Pre-historic (couh cough guess who won IF design Awards for past years in flagship segments).

      Conclusion: You can buy Samdung/ apple / One plus. Many shiips already doing that. You can be one too,

          adb shell wm size 1440x2960 (choose what res you want)
          adb shell wm density 722 (display density - how things are aligned on the display)
          Use your brain, do some research before bluntly commenting without any basis.
          As for the cheap brands, who cares? Even if they payed me daily and gave the phones for free, I still wouldn't use any brand except Sony or Samsung.
          You can keep your wannabe spying replicas for yourself. Bleah!

              Users should be given option to switch refresh rates. Your tiny brain can't perceive difference between 60hz and 120hz, that doesn't mean everyone is in the same boat.

                Chinese brought more innovation than Sony and Apple combined in the past 5 years.
                Won't bother listing them, since the list is so huge.

                But It's clear, nobody here going to take your opinion seriously in the future.

                    Its prehistoric if you compare.

                      Are you sleeping when S20 Ultra released ??? 108MP and 100X zoom for 1500$ that too with crap Quality?? I guess I must teach you a lesson again
                      You have no Problem with S20 Ultra Price?? Gimmicky 108MP and 16GB useless ram?? But Oof for HDMI and instant boradcasting. Typical americans

                      Some of the keyfeatures which u dont find in Samsung:

                      -4K HDR Display
                      - 4k HDR recording at 60fps & 2k recoridng at 120fps
                      - God tier 20 fps AF/AE with Eye AF
                      - Legendary Zeiss lens
                      - 21:9 display
                      - Sexy design without ugly notches and punchholes (+ fits good in one hand)
                      - Fast processor unlike lousy exynos (SD by samsung is only released in USA)
                      - dual front end speakers
                      - 360 degree audio function
                      -Photo pro & Cinema Pro
                      - Camera shutter button


                      Key fetaures compared to last year Xperia:
                      - 8GB ram
                      - Wireless charging
                      - Headphones jack + no audio losses like in BT
                      - Motionblur reduction (90Hz equivalent)
                      - 4000mah
                      - power button as fingerprint scanner


                      People have no problem with shitty image quality and shitty auto focus along with gimmicky 100x zooms and 108MP with pixelbinning and easily pay for 1500$
                      But when sony releases something unique and fast performing product comparitvely at 1200$, people complain.


                      PS: Last year 6GB Xperia and iPhone performed onpar with 12GB ram samsung and OnePlus in speed test. This also proves how crap Samsung and OP ram management is. Anything over 8GB ram is nonsense (even with 3 chrome tabs open). Over 12Gb is stupidity and where Mr.Silly lives
