    If I am not wrong, usb3.2 was announced in 2019.
    The UFS3.1 was the thing not available for phones announced before march.

Royalties-free now. And USB4 is based on it. Why waste time and resources implementing something confusing for customers when superior technology is available? And for phones, the benefits of 3.2x2²² is doubtful at best, especially with low adoption from other consumer products. Anyway, have a good day at work

The samsung sensor is sucks (i use xperia 1), and i can tell it is much poorer than the one used for my x performance (even xz2 selfie sensor produce better image overall with 5mp). But I don't really care about the usb type, since 3.2 hasn't been released yet during development of most phone meant to be launche in Q1 or Q2 this year

          Love the Community, 26 May 2020USB 3.2 didn't exist during the development of Xperia 1 II.... moreSadly the front camera in xperia 1,5, and 1ii is made by samsung (they use the same sensor). I never really bother with bezels, i prefer that more than punch holes, notches and even pop ups. But yeah, I can tell that the sensor used for the selfie cam is poorer than sony's own sensor (i use xperia 1)

            Festwiz, 26 May 2020Display is too thin, the device is too expensive. How is a device with flagships specs expensive for 1.2k euros? That's pretty much the price any flaship has now.

Maybe in mid to late 2019? USB 3.1 was the current high-end standard that time in 2017. I'll check the link later. I got work to do.

Sony, for being a sensor maker, they should've enlarge the sensor as much as they can for that thin top bezel. Then again, that sensor you mentioned might be too big for that small bezel.

                      - trade the 8MP 1/4" front cam that even L3 has for a 13MP 1/3" like X series, also apply 4K recording.

                      - dual slot + sd instead of hybrid.

                      - usb 3.2 instead of 3.1

                          A beautiful clean display without stupid hole or notches is priceless anyway !
                          Had this phone the 3 main features I desire, I would have bought it without hesitations ASAP !

                            Best ANC, 35h battery and LDAC.

                            While other brands barely offer any gift and charge more for the phone.

                              I yet have to find any major flaw in this device. I think this is the perfect mobile phone ticking all the required boxes.
