Sony will soon join LG if they keep overpricing their products.
No one in Europe buys them anymore.

Lack of service centers...Cheap quality components sold at high price, trash camera quality. Not to forget, They have been kicked out of major markets by Chinese players which offer much more for your money and have much more reliability than Sony phones.
This is why people buy then as they know these devices can be trusted over Sony.

Sony on the other hand, despite making the hardware can't get their software in Auto mode correct.
It just reeks unprofessionalism and points towards the inability of their mobile division to get an important part of the phone experience like camera performance, being implemented correctly.

There is nothing wrong with new Xperias or 21:9 aspects. I love what Sony offers to the point. And seems most members here agree with me on that, 1 II seems to be most beloved flagship here on Arena.
You just dont like it because it is not the same as others. You love your Samsungs and Xiaomis, but it wouldnt make any difference for you if you bought Huaweis, Oppos, iphones, Motorolas, Lenovos, etc... They all offer exactly the same.
You also obviously think rebellion is the problem and not the system...well, you couldnt be more wrong on that. Look up world today as reference.

Anonymous, 06 Apr 2021Better than downgrade to 1080pI'm absolutely fine with 1080p. To be honest, I can't see the difference between 4k and 1080p smartphone screen, 60Hz or 90 Hz. So I can live with 1080p and 60Hz screen easily. But I can't stand shitty cameras outcome when it's supposed to be awesome looking at hardware specs, brand name, hype around expensive camera focused smartphone. Yes, I'm talking about Xperia 1 II / 5 II devices :). Had them, couldn't stand them for more than 1 month, got rid of them already.

My 1ii does great selfies. Face detects both my wife and I together and even with high contrast background does a remarkable job of it.
Love the main cameras on the back. Ridiculous colour accuracy between all three lenses and eye tracking! I feel the 16mm lens is off their action cam as it does even better HDR than the main sensor.
I mean no offence to others but when you don't know how to compose a shot properly and expect something special is a bit rich. Sure, computational photography makes up for a lot of this but if you just learn to use the damn thing you might be surprised. Weirdly I'm having iPhone and Samsung users keep asking me what phone I'm using.... At the time I was using my XZ2 and then XZ3!
I personally really like iPhones and Huawei photos but the HDR processing takes away too much contrast to the point they look flat or 2D. The Sony's don't over clip the highlights or drag out murky detail in dark areas. If you want to then that's something for editing but their shots are real and stunning true to life.
Having said that, we're at a point where really most phones take stunning photography. The next Sony, Apple and Google phones should be quite exciting!

Yeah, I like iPhones, Samsung phones and even some models from Xiaomi or Realme. Doesn’t matter for me that majority of people like the same things.

They wa... moreSuffice to say, Auto HDR on Photo Pro are not clever enough (bunch of samples on web). There are scene that needed HDR (close to what our eyes sees), but either it doesnt trigger at all or HDR enabled with just a few stops. Sony Auto HDR processing also often softer the image & smudge a bit detail. People on XDA there that owns both Xperia & Huawei explains about it. I own Xperia as well, but those are old Z series.
As a Huawei user now, I'm amazed on how clever their Auto HDR detection is (master AI off), compared to Sony. If I dont want any Auto HDR triggered (intended deeper shadow & brighter highlight), simply lock the exposure by tap on certain area of the frame or just use the Pro Mode with everything left in Auto. I believe its the same thing that people experience when they switch from Huawei to Sony. Simplicity in Auto.

Don't mind your choices if they are made because you like it something or it was the best alternative you got in a particular case.
But choosing something just to be different ...hmmm...
