However, some think that the price is too high.

The specs are perfect for me but I would have preferred a 19:9 ratio.

    L.O.R.D, 27 Sep 2020This phone may or not sell in large numbers but with this, ... morecorrect. simpletons do not know and / or do not understand that in this (consumer products) business the quality and the market share are a matter of time, almost nobody got it right from the first attempt. usually it takes 2-3 attempts, and a lot of resources...., to get back in the marked if, for whatever reasons, you lost it. and sony has both the financial and technological means to support such an effort.

      the question is, will anyone buy it?

        Yes, a good functionality phone ;
        No, my taste is on Nokia side

          pretty well balanced phone. excepting the price, of course :). a worthy and affordable competitor to iphone 11 pro and, most likely, to the expected 12 pro. besides the people that enjoy quality and can afford to pay for it, probably a lot of them from the professionals groups, i guess will sell well through carriers. a couple of eur / usd extra per month will not make big diff....

          yet waiting for photo sample too see the impact of the missing tof camera, though i do not expect much lost in performance.

            The end result will only prove that the so called Sony fans are just talk. When Sony actually delivered the goods, they’re all cheapskates. I’m sure most of these “fans” probably only have some cheap Xiaomi phones.

              Besides, who the f are you to feel insulted by offering an incredible deal that overcomes other brands' weak offers for the same price? LOL not everything is made exclusive for you, stop dreaming!

                Boggy-Stefy, 27 Sep 2020Welcome to Sony smartphones, where everybody likes them, bu... moreLike the Xperia 1 II, which is has been sold out in just a week after its first release, and the Galaxy S20 Ultra with a much lower sales than even last year's S10+??

                  This phone may or not sell in large numbers but with this, Sony definitely realised what consumers want, so they can introduce mid range devices with this design or size, and their phone division will be back on track

                    YouKnowIt, 27 Sep 2020The pre-order free gifts listed on the Sony HK site seem ve... moreLol, it might happen, as I doubt sales will be high with those prices. It would definitely help to sell more xperias :)

                      I've sold my Z3 yesterday. It worked great. I'm happy that Sony is back to game after very long time and many fails.

                        Xperia 1 ii also gonna be a perfect phone after it gets support for true high refresh rate 😀

                          Nah. They are 68mm wide so finally a one handed phone. But it has a 21:9 screen so it is too long. It means it will be more difficult to balance the phone and the extra screen space you rarely use.

                          I think these specs would be smart and cost effective:
                          65mm wide
                          16:9 screen
                          pogo pins for charging (to be used with charging docks, magnetic charge cables, cases with battery)

                            [deleted post]Your comment showing that you're a closeted fan of Sony and that's a fact, because Sony living in your mind rent free for years LOL 😝

                              good phone to buy but priced high, if this cost only like $699 - $759usd in U.S, it will sell like hot pancakes :)

                                    just lacking the wireless charging. then it will be perfect.

                                      best phone ever made 😔
