TReality, 26 May 2024 Go outside, ask as many people you can how badly they want... moreOh I've already done that.
The answer is ALL OF THEM. Not a single person I've ever asked said they were happy or even fine with not having it. For many reasons, including the annoyance of running out of battery on the earbuds, the inability to connect to many sound systems, the inability to quickly connect a pair of headphones for calling, the inability to connect good audio gadgets, etc.

      Viraat, 27 May 2024People just hate sony for being overpriced .. But they dont... moreAs a Sony phone user agree.
      They need to sell more phone to get the price down.
      One unpopular way to do it is no need to release phone yearly update, alternate year would be sufficient as long as they committed to provide software update to at least 4years and 7years security update. The hardware of the phone certainly can handle it.

      Small rant: I am a bit sad with the removal of 21:9 aspect ratio.
      I enjoyed this aspect ratio due to the more content while browsing and multi windows works better.

        LosEstupido, 26 May 2024I mean, They could've given the phone a 1440p or even ... more1440p is hardly a difference from the 1644p display they were already using. That would just be a pointless reduction.

          I'm doing whatever it takes to get the Xperia 1 mk 6 this year in the US, unless somehow those Xperia Pro-C & Pro-2 rumors are actually happening. I dont mind paying the Sony premium

I remember being told by t mobile when I came back that my phone was "illegal". It was before "smart" phones took off. It was a Nokia I bought in Barcelona. I was, of course, unlocked, and it had the correct bands and all that but it wasn't a model sold in the US. I was told that I could go to jail for that. That's how they sell phones.

We'd actually buy one of these if they were available and less expensive. That's not being bitter or criticizing a multinational greedy environmentally destructive exploitive corporation as they all are. It's just a comment stating that we appreciate this phone's features and design and would likely buy it if we could.

                No other phone can beat sony in camera , performance and optimization the only drawbacks are , RAW images ( people like those AI improved images , but the true photograpghers want RAW photos )
                And software updates which I ,myself hate ...
                ( only 2 years ??!!! Ridiculous )

                  "Cold shoulder", because not 90Hz, 120Hz... yeah right. Just admit you like to show off top models and ignore rest.

                      I only said, that a good chunk of people are getting their phones with a contract for a cheap price. You would be shocked to find out that even the iPhone would not selling in many countries without contracts subsidizing.
                      Other than that, whining about the price is not a solution for anything. The company makes the price. Either you buy it for it, or you not. Senseless to freak out about it every time.
                      Yes I want Porsche giving me the Panamera for 20.000 Euro. Not gonna happen. So I'll buy a different car. That's it.

                              Anonymous, 26 May 2024Little secret. This VC is same used by Mark5. The old ... moreThe Pro was even more niche market oriented and overpriced than the 1 model. That is the only reason it had a big vapor chamber.
                              The 1 Mark VI is the first "normal" phone from Sony to have a vapor chamber, which is quite laughable since other manufacturers have used vapor chambers for years.
                              Moreover, the 1 Mark V doesn't have a vapor chamber.

                              Stop spreading nonsense, Sony fanboy.

                                    Well for those who are whining about the price, be aware that the average customer in Europe gets a contract. Then you buy the phone for 1(!) euro including the xm5 headphone.

                                    So, all this price discussions are a non-issue for most Europeans. And that counts for all other phones, including iPhone, too.

Not only do you run the possiblity of it not having decent coverage, the places you buy them from offer little guarantees and, judging by reviews, ship you open box or even different models. It's a risk just to have a few features that other phones removed.
