    The Sony hate is surreal, but I guess the better you become, the more critics you also attract.

      Enam Khan, 12 Feb 2023They are dead. The great Xperia is no more. :(I've heard this from like 10 years ago already. Anything new to say??

      And no, it's not even about saying this just because we want to believe that they're not dead. They're DEFINITELY NOT dead, and their mere presence in the market, no matter how small it is, is already more than enough to prove that they're still alive.

      Just look at how much public interactions do every Sony news articles here create. Is that what you'd consider to be "dead?"

        How come that those "decade old" designs make so much more sense and more practical than these supposed "modern-day" look?

          Just so you know, many people really wanted to have the newest Walkman from Sony if not for the high price (which is easily justified by just how great it sounds, if your ears are that good enough to appreciate it). Meanwhile, Apple can re-release the iPod and almost nobody will want it even if it's an Apple product, which is why they haven't even considered doing that as of the moment.

                    They need to release this early & not the end of the year so many have alternative choice besides Samsung that doesnt have sd card slot & 3.5mm jjack.

                          They need to fix on the phone's thermal management

                            I think sony should use their own latest higher pixel camera sensor in xperia 1 v in all camera module.i mean main camera,telephoto zoom lens and ultra wide lens and give softwere update like samsung.

                              No stupid punch hole. I hope these renders become true. Good that Sony won't budge to the mistake of other brands.

                                    Sony sucks with battery heat issue and dim screen for years until their last phone releases and see if this year will be any change of these issues
