Edser, 01 May 2023Sony should give an indisplay fingerprint scanner which is ... moreMaybe In-Display looks more modern, but pretty sure in most cases it's not always faster and more accurate.

    Kev, 01 May 2023I thought the same. But it's a trend for nearly all As... moreThe current advert for the s23u in the uk is some mixed race random woman using the device in different environments/situations (and samsung over exaggerating/straight up lying about the features lol). Kevin bacon promotes the same device for EE, whats kevin bacon got to do with samsung?

    Its all marketing stratagy, get a pretty woman/famous person/group/band/attractive man for your adverts then most people subconsciously associate the device with "attractive/successful/popular people use this device, i want that".

      Still high price Disappointing camera performance They give up the competition

        Anonymous, 01 May 2023Great let’s ignore people that have issues with UD FP scann... moreBasically yeah, if you're the minority user of certain features and they remove them they dont mind losing your sale for the majority that will buy the device still. We all know know apple sells well (they have less bloated product stack too vs most companies even samsung) so their hardcore user base dont care if a feature goes even on multiple products when the reputation of the company is "consumer useability/consistent quality" which apple are best in, you get a device that you know and that you know will last a long time. We're seeing samsung and pixels go down this route because it sells better.

        I mean id prefer having a proper IR face unlock sensor like apple, huawei and honor and pixel 4 (huawei implemented great air gestures that actually worked well too, pixel not so much), with an UD ultrasonic sensor like samsung and honor and a captive physical sensor on the back (built in to the logo or something so it looks clean) all at the same time. My huawei mate 10 pro could use the captive sensor to pull down and put up the notifications panel, could implement gestures like that for physical gesture input while also having a secure unlock option (could disable it snd use for gestures only). 3 secure ways to unlock, the user chooses how they unlock and they get baked in gesture implemention that makes navigating far easier.

        We will never see this, removable batteries, majority adoption of side mounted FP sensors, re adoption of the jack or sd card slot again (other reasons are manufacturing/R&D costs and companies wanting to make more profit from said costs)

          side print scanner again! well, let's see if after launching it they don't send it for Christmas and hopefully it comes with a competitive price

I personally like stock android a lot because phone makers will often update their phone so it doesent clear it's cache overtime and gives you space torubles forcing you to change manually clear the cache or delete your data until you are forced to change your phone

                    This design was revealed 10 years ago... Come on sony you turned me into a die hard hater from a die hard fan... I think the people who work in sony definitely are college toppers 😂

                        I know moat people don’t care because they don’t have the issue, but there are people like me where UD FP scanners fail at scanning the finger (even the Samsung ones) most of the time, while physical do not.

                        But the market doesn’t care, because people like me can f-off because we are the niche.

                              858 is 1/2.51" and it does not have new dual layer

                                I think the design's cool but they're starting to blend into each other already. This and the previous ones look so similar, kind of a shame tbh. I don't like this trend of similar looking phones from Samsung, Apple and Sony.

                                  Louis, 01 May 2023I am definetly getting one, my S10 is on its last legs..As a person who went from previous 2 Samsung phones to my current Xperia 5 II... Don't do it. To say the software is a complete trash is an understatement. I am never coming back to Sony phones again, it's just not worth saving a few bucks compared to equivalent Galaxy S phone (which is usually superior in every single conceivable way).

                                    is it a starting sign of sony's sales getting rise?

                                      So people can stop being ignorant (with the obviousness that this billboard is in Hong Kong), this is the Canto-Pop group Lolly Talk. They're popular in that country. Yes, they're beautiful but they're not random.
