        New phone with "old" SoC? I will stick to my Xperia 5 or better buy 5 III..!

          Also, Chinese skins nowadays follow Google's Material You design guidelines fairly closely. By your logic, One UI or even stock Android can be essentially considered an "ios eyejunk" since they share many basic design elements.

                      Is the bloatware US carrier specific?

                        I'll buy it when it's 50% cheaper on fire sale. MicroSD + 3.5mm headphone jack in a modern phone with decent enough cams. Good for 500€.

                          Ever since I got the X Compact that came with lots of bloatware that can't be uninstalled, I steer clear of Sony.

One speaker is in earpiece and the other speaker is next to charging port that also have microphone hole too next to it.

Compact means small and in phone market it means small phone. When sony had small phones they used compact in there name like Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact while the normal XZ2 was 5.7 inch screen that on that time was already a big phone cause of the time of bezels.

                              Now your talking about game features that have ZERO thing to do how small the phone is

                                There are a few more perks that this phone has over the Zenfone: NO punch hole in the screen, all needed sensors housed in the top bezel WHERE THEY BELONG ON ALL PHONES, the stereo speakers are front facing, there is a notification LED!!!!!!! But if the phone stops working from overheating, then it might as well be a paperweight. So sad!
