      It is almost 2 years that I have the Sony X5ll, it is so good that I think I will keep it longer, even that I can have a new one with a new contract, battery is also very good.

        99% of phones are complete garbage that is why sales are down. No headphone jack, no micro SD and now no chargers in the box and yet the prices are increasing despite you getting inferior products

Why changing something that works, for a few complainers? Face it, people don't care about tiny phones anymore. Even Apple with all its income and profit cancelled the mini version, because its sales are not good enough. No other manufacturer even tried something like that, because people want large phones.

              Not surprised. Market has been horrible for many months now.
              Overpriced and sometimes worse than what people could buy 3 years ago (for the same price).

                High prices
                Stoopid 2mp
                680 processor
                Billion Chinese copies of basically one phone

                Worst phase of smartphone history

                    Iphone 4s antenna issues (You're holding it wrong !! )
                    Iphone 6 : touch disease
                    Iphone 6+ = first foldable smartphone
                    Iphone 7 black piano (frame paint peeling even with case on the phone)

                    Ipads with no front touch ID with bending issues due to weak chassis (ipad pro 2019 and current air).
                    MiniLED screen issues on ipad pro 12.9"
                    Jelly effect on current mini (probably screen placed upside down)

                      Normal. The market is horrible.
                      Overpriced + worse SoC than 3 years ago (for the same price).

                        Using small batteries inside smaller phones is choice, not necessity.

                        XZ1c = 2700mAh
                        Iphone 8 = 1821mAh

                        S22 is 7.3mm, imagine the extra room for battery if it was like 8.2mm? This was choice.

                                  I remember from 2008-2014, people kept looking for that iPhone-killer. It was the iPhone that really did the killing.

                                  Palm
                                  BlackBerry
                                  Nokia
                                  Microsoft
                                  HTC
                                  LG

                                  Apple and Chinese Android OEMs eliminated those companies in the mobile industry. Now we have fans getting nostalgic about HTC and LG when they made many defective phones.

                                  HTC had the purple photos in the One M7. LG G4 and V10 had bootloops. If iPhones had those issues, Apple would get crucified. But since it's just little underdog HTC and LG, fans would overlook them due to nostalgia and lower standards.
