Anonymous, 21 Nov 2020People just don't hate a brand out of the blue. They p... moreMotorola has few phones with 21:9 . Nobody complains.
Rog has more bezels than xperia, nobody complains about design. Same for BlackShark.
Haters ay eye AF is gimmick, but not about the Vivo device that has it too.
A little phone maker from USA made a 4K screen phone few years ago, no critics as well.
What a coincidence ....

If it will be built by a reliable phone company then it might be a Good phone. But then again you get sony to do it. the whole is less then the sum of its parts is best to describe the sony phones.

Gime gime gime!
But you do not dare to compromise on SOC, camera, battery or headphone jack.
When Sony was not even able to optimize for 855, they need those 865+ to run those bug riddled Android version Sony releases.

mrvl.net, 21 Nov 2020Most people who are bashing Sony have never used their phon... morePeople are not bashing Sony name, people are bashing Sony prices.
Yeah, maybe they are using some better materials, but not so better to justify their higher prices. And I am talking here mainly about low-end and mid-range phones. In flagship territory the differences in prices and quality, between different models are minor.
Take for examples the cases of L4 and Xperia 10 ii. At the time of the release, they were the most expensive in their category. More expensive even than Samsung phones. Also, as a downsize the Sony phones are not getting so much cheaper in time. Similar as iphones. So, even now, a Sony Xperia 10 ii cost in Czech Republic around 350EUR. With that money you can buy easily a SD855 phone. Even a 5G one with SD765. Or something with 12GB ram and 256GB internal storage.
Compare that with Xperia 10 ii, no IP rating and "high end materials" (according to Sony fanboys at least) can compete with that.
Yeah, you could say power and specs are not everything and people do not need that kind of stuff. True, but do you think people who don't need that kind of stuff are prepared to cash out 350EUR for a phone just to send message, make phone calls and occasional web browsing? Just because it has Sony in the name?
No way. Those people will be happy with a similar spec phone as the Xperia 10 ii, but they will pay for it 150EUR-180EUR.

They probably have a Good reson, or to be acurate a bad one, like the Unfortunate event of Purchasing a sony phone like i had. Did it once and never again. The company Disrespectful attitude to me as a client created a motivation to inform Potential buyers about my misrable experience with the overpriced, over glorificated expria.

YUKI93, 21 Nov 2020About time, Sony. I really miss the Compact model. That sai... morefrom the SoC I'm guessing it'll be placed between the 10 III and 5 II in the lineup. So three 12MP cameras, glass back and a plastic frame. And hopefully stereo speakers.
I hope the 2021 phones bring flat frames consistently across the lineup. It was strange seeing the 1 II design change but the 10 II and 5 II stayed the same, if not rounder.
