There are ultra discipline and rigid people which is excellent when building any foundation in the beginning
But that same rigid stubbornness doesn't allow them flexibility to adapt
You see this in even Nintendo as a company how they are very resistant to change

So you guys are wanting a phone with the specs to be at a mid-tier price range? It does have the latest Snapdragon processor, the camera is stellar,, they improve the battery life not to mention the audio editing Studio. Sony makes great stuff minus their xploit speakers. Here in the US Amazon has an offer where you get the phone for $99 and it comes with a pair of $282 earbuds for free.

Banaras university once confirmed existence of otherly non living beings, bacteria and most virus cant live within Bluetooth frequencies, CFL(40watt+ for "reading") bulbs, that was one of the reasons in favor for those tech, i shut last CFL factory in India, now this tech is leaving. TIME is powerful, things CHANGE, we don't have to be the best to prosper and happy.

Waited and waited for this phone but its an inferior version of the Xperia 1 iv (lower specs) at exactly the same price. I got a free Sony Bravia TV with the 1 iv too. I expected a significantly lower price for the reduced specifications.

I have it on order, upgrading from a Xperia 5 mark 2 and I am excited to be upgrading - great size and features along with high quality build.... but the wireless charging, bigger battery and improved camera sell this to me.

3 xiaomi phones with 120W.
The 11T Pro was the "coolest" among them, peak temperature was 49C (120,2F).
Mix 4 = peaks 52,4C (126,3F)
Imagine if he was using the device while charging, like many do.

You still havent told us why the upcoming 12T Pro a.k.a Redmi K50 Ultra is gonna be near 900 euros.
Why was 12 Pro sold for 1200 euros?
I do not care about price in China. I want an explanation why these prices in Europe.

So what Sony does is overpriced but what Apple does it not? Wow! I've never seen anyone mention Apple overpricing their iPhones each and every year. I mean, sure Apple gives quality phones and so does Sony. Come on!!!

The Sony devices don't even come to my little country, and it's been like this for several years, I have no idea why. So I have no dilemma whether to buy, it doesn't reach my local market. (no support, no labs...)

Even still the cheapest modelof the k50 ultra is about the equivalent of €430 in China (it's even more the €400 in its home market). When launched in Europe it will be at least 50% more as is always the case which would make it around €650 for a 128gb variant.

Now, explain us why this device is gonna be sold as 12T Pro for 890 euros (trades 108MP HM6 for 200MP HP1) .
Man you funny. Low end usb-C it charges faster than sony yes it does so whats your problem with low end usb c if its a lot better than high end usb c when charging???
High SAR??? Man anything under 2.0 is OK and approved by EU and many else governments so whether is 1,9 or 0,2 for example it doesnt matter because it wont have any effects on you. That bold claim of yours was pretty stupid.
IP rating??? Are you joking nobody cares about IP rating. Since no company includes watter damage warranty into a regular warranty IP rating is crap. Even a low end phone can withstabnd few rain drops. And for anything else case will help. Besides even a really clumsy people are clevel enough to not swim with their phones.
By the way those IP rating are taken in tank with clear unrefined and cleaned water where phone standing still. Try to swm with your phone take it to sea no IP rating wil help you,
Thhat IPXX gimmick called IP rating is nothing just useless costly gimmick where any waterproof case bought on alliexpress for 2 bucks does a lot better job than costly IPXX resistance.
Gorrila Victus is another joke like IP rating case and screen protector bought from alliexpress cost 5 or lets say 10 bucks and does a lot better job. At least protects your phone better than gorrila victus which can breaks and is costlier to repair. Those people like you braggng for useless gimick without even trying to use brain for much cheaper and a lot better option which i just said are tottaly creepy.
Sony got 12 Mpix camera with bit more specs than a 20 Mpix camera on K50 Ultra by Xiaomi but on a 6 inch screen it does not matter,
if i take photo with front camera on both phones and use a large 70 inch TV to show the photo on both of the phones will looks bad.
On a 6 inch screen the difference is tottaly small what do you trying to achieve???
Man please try to think a little before youj say something stupid its not that hard.

To me Sony Mobile has the same problem as LG Mobile (department that doesn't exist anymore I must add). Both brands a decade ago were standing on their feet really strong. Heck! I loved my Xperia Compacts, but that was the thing: it was combination of good offer with range of phones for everyone, relatively well priced, nicely optimized OS and great camera performance. Here in EU many people used Sony phones. Problem is, over the past decade Sony Mobile went through many business perturbations and bad decisions, phones stopped being a stand outs, competition was getting more traction, response was practically non-existent and fans started looking for other options. We're at the point where LG was with its LG Flip (mid range specs, 2 screens, but it was hardly a new idea and flip mechanism branded as something spectacular, when they used the same tech in their own phones 12 years ago). All of that priced as a direct competition to Samsung and Apple flagships. That's all fine, but LG much as Sony now failed to understand, that having very niche market share and therefore not many interest in their product, they are not in position to price their phones as high as top dogs. Yes, sure, Chinese brands like Xiaomi and Oppo price their phones really high these days, but both brands gained significant market share these days, they don't save up on high end components and usually are testing grounds for newest tech out there, so it's understandable you pay for those novelties. I see the same pattern repeating, started with old Nokia, through HTC and LG, now in Sony. Their archaic approach to mobile department is what hurts the companies the most.
