          Buying sony mobiles is Wasting money, better go for xiaomi, samsung, huawei, one plus, Apple
          because sony devices availability are less., not much service centers,
          & as they update new o/s you loose many features then comes with bugs & nowhere solutions found, as they dont care.

                This seems to be a reoccurring pattern with Sony, so wouldn't really be surprised.

                  I wonder how many updates/bugs will Xperia 1/5 recieve - those are 1yo devices, so let us observe, where the support for "modern" Sony phone ends.
                  So far the latest update broke promimity sensor ... nothing major, righ? Only the thing that is used, when you take PHONE call on a PHONE ...

                    Unless Google launches Android 11.1 and then 12, and 12.1 and so on..

                      good news... but i will wait for stable versions every time or at least when bugs are fixed...
                      i stopped updating my z5 premium when problems on headphone jack surfaced... that is why i am not really a fan of updates, thus makes me consider lg phones despite weak updates, because their audio and camera capabilities are great...

                        Poor availability in the biggest markets is the biggest con for Sony.
                        WHo cares about Android 13?
                        We still don't have Android 11.

                          Unlike Samsung, Sony's way is: "buy a new Xperia 1 II or newer flagship for the extended support, because we didn't support old harware".
                          But well, let's see if Sony doesn't lie this time.

You can not count original software as update. That's nonsense. So, if they couldn't develop two extra OS version for that phone, why would anyone believe them that they will develop 3 more versions this time around. I don't. They have to prove themselves first. I'll believe it when i see it.

                                Sony has always been the best deal
                                Best software
                                Best camera (arguably)
                                Best everything but performance, where it is the worst

                                  They better be! As flagship keep getting expensive and soon the >1000 dollar become a norm. Make customers spend 1000 and only give service support for almost 2 years is joke

                                    Komer, 02 Sep 2020Sony XZ1 (flagship) series got only one mayor version upgra... moreFirst update was the android 8.0 out of box, instead of shipping xz1 with 7.1.1 , what they could easily have done and wait until november/2017 to give 8.0 ....

                                    XZ1 shares same platform Yoshino with XZ Premium, it means same updates and firmware has same build number. There was zero chance xz1 getting 10.
                                    They say 24 months of support, not 2 versions of android. Usually flagships get 30 months.

                                    Z, Z1 = 5.1
                                    Z2, Z3 = 6.0
                                    Z4, z5 = 7.1
                                    X Perf, XZ, XZs = 8.0
                                    XZP, XZ1 = 9.0
                                    XZ2, XZ3 = 10
                                    1, 5 = 11

                                      Sony XZ1 (flagship) series got only one mayor version upgrade (after Sony have promised two upgrades) so I don't trust them anymore. But, if it does happen, that would be great for customers. I hope every OEM will follow soon.
