People seem to forget that it's a budget phone. For a budget phone that has Gorilla Glass 6 and IP ratings, with a headphone jack, and a compact design, this phone isn't even that bad. People complaining that $202 is expensive, but that's because of these Chinese phones flooding the market with rebranded phones that get released every month. Phones that don't get any updates and cost less to make. The Ace 2 also has a huge battery as well which means you're gonna have it last longer, the phone isn't meant for gaming and isn't doing high end usage. You can browse the web, read articles, etc with comfort. I do agree that the 720p display is a con and that they could've at least had a 1080p display, but I don't make decisions at Sony.

It's also a Japan-only phone.

          Lmao are you a clown? Every low end phone should be using first gen gorilla glass then? Actually maybe they should be using plastic screens since it's not glass.

People like you think that it is okay to buy a new phone every year while last year's phone is still capable of getting the new version of OS. The custom ROM community widely shows that it is possible to have a new OS version and doesn't hurt the performance. Also, don't cry if your long outdated Chinese phone has been a victim of a security attack.

                Sony is very funny to price this phone at 202 dollars. There are a lot of better deals out there for that price. It should be priced at around 140 dollars

                        Normal users don't care. It's the Youtubers who are sponsored to quote about OS support by the respective manufacturers. Most people do fine not updating their Chinese phone for years

                            Within a year, your Sony will lag, not because of software, but because of poor hardware.
                            Only Sony brand boys will stoop down to buy this device.

                                    Very nice device and the price is OK. I am pretty sure I'll buy it if available in EU with 2 SIM cards. I don't have any hardware requirements except for at least 4 gigs of RAM and compact dimensions.

                                      165 usd is the maximum price they charge for in my opinion

                                        China & Japan are on opposite ends of anything & everything.

                                        No denying that the phone isn't a great piece of tech, but it has it's target set on specific bunch of customers. Not too shabby, won't leave Japan if I'm right.
