Narazumono, 11 Feb 2023Another generic flat back and side iPhone design ripoff W... moreIt looks more like triple vertical lenses a la Samsung phone. Combine it with Infinity-O screen people would think its a Samsung phone.

    Narazumono, 11 Feb 2023Did you miss the flat back but most importantly the flat sides?Sony had this blocky, square industrial design far before Xperia existed in 2008 and iPhone 4 in 2010. During the infamous Samsung vs Apple design lawsuit in 2012, Samsung even "claimed" and said that the iPhone design was copied from Sony's devices concept, meaning Sony already had this design longer, even in 2006, 2 years before the first Xperia was launched (the X1)

        Narazumono, 11 Feb 2023Another generic flat back and side iPhone design ripoff W... moreFunny because you clearly didn't know about history that Sony's been making flat side phones since the Xperia Z days, and even the iPhone 4's design was actually taken from Sony.

        Bold of you to assume that it is Sony that's copying without even knowing history first.

              Don't worry tho, this stupid trend will die soon as the next iPhone will be curved again

                I love the 21:9 ratio since I like to watch movies in the plane or train but that's my personal taste. However in YouTube many new vids are still 16:9.

                  Dear Sony, you use the identical design from the Xperia 1 mark II, which saves you so much money for R&D, but why is your phone still so expensive?

                    The comment section will be a fun affair in every Sony article, as always 👀😏

                        Sony just doesn't care about thermals, update speed or camera auto mode performance

                          I guess the reduction in chassis „size“ will also come from using flatter sides because that’s the trend after the release of iPhone 12, even if it‘s a bad trend as flatter sides are less comfortable

                            I guess after "rounded corner" even "flat" is now one of Apple's patents lol.

                            iSheep are delusional.

                              Wow this phone looks interesting. It even has my 3 favorite things (SD Card Support, 3.5mm Jack, Notification LED). How much does this wonder cost?

                              BOOM!!! 1500£
