And nothing about the audio in their phones is class leading even if they use fancy certification titles. Neither in speaker or 3.5mm output. Yes them having 3.5mm output standard is great but the output is at best on par with others.

    Manual controls maybe have an edge against iphone but thats about it. And only in some cases. The only real advantage they have is the default accurate colors.

      And the one inch sensor thats cut almost in half while again behind in other areas doesn't make it that special or worth the price either.
      Just having 4k resolution and their one special feature did not do anything for those devices. They were severely over priced and still behind the competition in most ways.
      Yet there's always diehard fans like you defend and praise them for any wrong doing even worse than the apple community.

        SuuperBaka, 30 Apr 2023It is a lie, they are not $1000 above the competitors. They are above and some are 1000 above. So yeah

            I only buy Japanese brands and almost in Europe only Panasonic and Sony these days. I would follow Xperia until the end. The 1 V will replace my 1 IV. There is also a possibility of seeing the Ace of Japan everywhere else. The Pro-I II if it comes out will be too expensive and I only take it if the screen is bigger. I'm also expecting the new WF-1000XM5 headphones this summer.

              Sony we need xperia play with play station OS like play station store for games and apps...u can continue with xperia 1,5,10 with Android,but xperia play need with play station OS if it success..u can change enter xperia with your own Sony OS

And exactly what other smartphones achieve by either cropping the upper and bottom part of the framing or swiping it down to give us a screen size of a decade old. This phone sure is for the purists. And I can see where others are going with their arguments.

                  Are you talking about other companies? Because last time I've checked, Sony has always been 2-8 years ahead in terms of features. Things like waterproof phone, AI scene recognition, 4K HDR video upscaling, Hi-Res Audio Upscaling, "Water Cooling", Dynamic Contrast Enhancer (Vision Booster), Battery care, H.S Power (Bypass Charging) 960 FPS slow mo, 4K 120Hz HDR recording, 4K 120 Hz display and more were features available in Sony phones long before other manufacturers adopted them.

                    Billboard ad in Hong Kong confirms new dual layer tech for xperia.
                    Iphone also gonna have it with imx903, just nobody knows if 15 pro max or 16 pro max.

                    There are also imx802 (108MP 1/1.3" ) and imx786 ( unknown). I have no idea if these two are for 1v and pro-i 2 ( pro-i has 486).

                              For all I know 4k 120 fps on each lens is something no other phones on the entire planet can do.

And camera, yes auto mode isnt perfect but use the manual mode and you will see that the Xperia takes better images than the iphones can.

                                  You're delusional if you think those phones are just regular flagship phones. The Xperia PRO was made to act as a monitor allowing for up to 3840x2160 at 60p video feed and is meant to connect the smartphone to a Sony interchangeable lens camera.

                                  You use that to stream it from the phone itself using the HDMI.

                                  If you think that's not a specialized case then you're disingenuous.

                                  The PRO-I, had a 1-inch type sensor and was meant for vloggers which is why it had that accessory.

                                  "And even the regular ones starting at 1300 while again behind in multiple aspects on top of their cost cutting does not justify such high base prices."

                                  They had similar specs to other flagships, maybe only the charging and display panel is where they were behind. The camera hardware was behind, I can give you that, but that's not the argument.

                                  "So yes they are."

                                  No, they aren't. They were not $1000 above the other flagships. Even depending on the location, they were still cheaper than iPhones and Samsungs.

                                      Exactly. He likes it and you don't. Doesn't necessarily mean yours or his is better. There are features that he likes about his X1 and things you don't like.
