I know a lot of the so-called "haters", mainly from Samsung and Xiaomi users, ended up buying the Xperia phone itself. When I tried to gaslight them, they called me an idiot. Oh, how the tables have turned so hard. 🤣😂

          Simply it's cheaper and still packs a huge punch.
          Not that I will spend more than 1000$ for phone though.

              Is it the same company that used to manufacture LEITZ brand index files etc

                Classic looking hopefully very high performing luxury mobile !! This beats my iPhone 12 Pro Max in camera areas I think. Really awesome looking! Why they don’t bring it in my place?!

They know digital compact camera (1" - M4/3 sensor size) consumer are lesser each day, but smartphone are increasing each year. I for one took pictures using smartphone more than my APSC camera 😆😆. And some of my favourites are surprisingly, taken by a phone.

                  Its their way to tackle that specific market target, along with all in one daily usage, which is a smartphone. Dont worry, their APSC & above actual camera is still untouched, & wont be applied in a smartphone.

                      it's time for Nikon to enter the smartphone market, cameras today are the only thing that separates the good and bad phones, they would cover the market of former compact and prosumer devices all the way to professional cameras, two or three series of phones with different offers of cameras and gadgets would bring them better earnings

                          Zwinter, 18 Jun 2021But sony is subpar and the ugly top and bottom bezels yuck"Subpar"??? This one clearly has lost a mind or two. Still carrying around that scratch after all these years. You must be the last of the Xperia haters. Most of them got tired.

                          Bashing Sony mobile was fun several years back, but now? You can do better.

                                  It's sad to me that venerable brands like Leica and Hasselblad feel they need to do this. It just cheapens their brand. The cameras in these phones are a far cry from anything like the actual cameras they make. And that will always be the case, because a phone could never have lenses and sensors like an actual Leica or Hasselblad. The size of phones makes this impossible.

                                    Mediatek sux, 18 Jun 2021Not 888 +, its trash. exynos is best.I dunno why people are obbessed with 888 like it's the only best processer.People will still compliment Qualcomm if they release a Qualcomm fridge like xbox did.

                                        Beautiful design, hope that some other brand will continue on this line.
                                        It reminded me a Nokia lumia.
