"All other issues"

Name them. The brightness is lacking, I can agree. But then again, your point doesn't change the fact that it was specialized. It's meant to be used as a 4K monitor that can live stream over 5G.

Stick with the point buddy.

"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."

"Behind in other areas"

Such as? RAM, SoC, Battery, etc were all on par with other flagships.

Sure the full sensor might not be fully utilized, but that still doesn't change the fact that it is not meant for the average consumer and is specialized.


So far you are failing to disprove that.


"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."

I accept your concession.


"Yet there's always diehard fans like you defend and praise them for any wrong doing even worse than the apple community."

You seem to be a bit slow, so let me repeat myself.

They are specialized, meant for a target audience, not the average consumer. The average consumer does not need to stream over 5G, they do not go out vlogging.

They are specialized, you haven't proven otherwise. Crying about them doesn't mean you are right.

These phones were meant for those people, there are still the regular 1 and 5 series which
is meant for a regular consumer that is looking for niche features like SD cards and headphone jacks, but those phones are not priced $1000 above the other flagships.


    Anonymous, 30 Apr 2023They are above and some are 1000 above. So yeahThe Xperia 1 series nor the 5 series are $1000 above the other flagships sold.

    Again the PRO and PRO-I were specialized, so they shouldn't be counted, but if you do then you are right.

          Pretty much the same phone as previous 3 models. No design changes ( wanna be iPhone), 12MP main sensor again and probably $1500 price tag again. I used to have all previous iterations of Xperia 1 series and all of them had one serious weak point - camera system. This time I would rather stick to my Oppo Find X5 Pro. No, thanks Sony! Please try harder next time.

            All the companies are cutting costs. That's not the point here. Especially when Sony does it worse.
            Let me tell you how savings millions on advertising, software, hardware, and availability is the same as cutting 3.5mm. And sd slot......
            But oh Sony has 4k res at half the brightness and 3.5mm so they are providing everything🙄

Are you seriously that foolish or just playing it to defend your beloved? And it's used as a whole in reference with their entire lineup of the past couple years and competent relevant.
                And no they don't reach 1000 nits. They reach up to 650 and obit with certain setups and apps. And that's only the last one or two.
                And their speakers are nothing special. Most phones have great sounding speakers now. They have average speakers.
                At least the ones on the latest phone are catching up rather than being two years behind.
                Oh wow... new telephoto lens that still matches others closely enough in quality. So revolutionary. So expensive. So out of this world

                  Compared to other androids they only have a few extra features but don't have any better raw quality or anything better than the rest.
                  And no. Their speakers are average thats it.

It's other manufacturers that are cutting cost by removing the 3.5mm headphone set and SD card. What's more Samsung have downgraded their S23 and S23+ to 1080p (the S6 and S6+ used to be 1440p) or downgrading the RAM to 8 GB (the Note 10+ started at 12 GB) or Xiaomi keeping their flagships at USB 2.0 speeds, keeping the base storage 13 Pro at UFS 3.1 speeds (UFS 4.0 is the standard nowadays) or Apple having 60 Hz and no telephoto on their non-Pro models, having USB 2.0 speeds and I could go on and on.

The recent xperia has 1000nits with HDR drive which renders HDR better than on any smartphones (HDR in the screen, as in when displaying an image, there is a good balance of bright to dark spot)

The LG we're talking about is launched in 2019, it has a dual screen multitasking setup, and the best audio quality in the mobile phone world, in addition to being a good smartphone as well.

                                      Oppo is ok, but I don't trust most chinese companies with my data. Not that I trust Google, but we don't have a choice with that.

                                        Great its 4k. But lacking getting to 650 nits in some cases vs the 450 nits of the xperia pro that was $2500.
                                        They've been working on 4k phone displays for luke 8 year almost. No excuses for that.
                                        The speakers, battery, signal stability, software bugs, weak auto mode, outdated front sensors, Carrier availability and compatibility, etc. They save millions compared to others in all those even with the 4k display yet here we are. Them continuing to pull this crap and people like you to defend them for it
