        No headphone jack no party. Don't tell me there are converters. Headphone jack is a headphone jack.

Maybe with using the new SD480 5G SoC (also FHD+ (LCD or Amoled), 6GB ram, 128GB storage, Android 11& 2 years of Android updates or more instead of just one year) for around 250euro would be a very good device and an instant buy...
              The last years Sony Xperia L4 was a bad device and very difficult to choose (P22 SoC, 3GB Ram, 720p LCD, 64GB storage, Android 9 in2020! & a single Android update) for around 200-250 Euro. At 100-120 Euro, it would be acceptable.

                  Same phone from last year with a bump?


                  Yeah, stick a fork in Sony. There done!

                  LG has saved a seat next to them for ya, Sony!

                  Goid riddance!

                    According to prices it doesn't look like this. At least not for the 5iii model.
                    Let's wait for the 10iii price too, but I am guessing it will be 400-500EUR. Not so budget friendly (at least for Android market).

                        ANnas, 15 Apr 2021Yes, but Sony is in the same boat as LG was ...and LG step ... moreThe main problem with LG was their a bit messy strategy. LG tried to target in the same market as Samsung and other brands, but Sony targeted the "professional-ish" market and a niche one since xperia 1. Also the pricing on LG's phonese were also a bit disastrous. LG dropped their flagship's price like 2 or 3 months after their were released (by quite a lot), Sony on the other hand, doesn't drop their price until their new model is released. (I'm talking about a brand new price, not second hand price)

                          With how the market is moving, in short time we will consider entry level price, phones at 500EUR. At least some people will not laugh only about Apple high prices.
