    Anonymous, 02 May 2025The smartphone market is completely saturated and crowded. ... moreIf you believe less is more, then you should probably wish that most of these Chinese companies would shut down. They're the ones who make a phone with a certain number, along with it's pro/ultra/s/plus versions and then 26 other variants for each letter in the English alphabet. Or maybe you should wish for Samsung to shut shop, for all the mess they make after releasing their A series models when they match each one of them with a worse F and M series phone.

    Sony makes no more than 3 phones a year. It was 2 last year.

        Cpt.Power, 02 May 2025Bro you got it wrong. All i wanted is to have eqal of war... moreI'd never really thought about that before. I think I'm always very careful with my things, and I've never broken a smartphone in my life. I don't own a cell phone company, so I don't even understand warranties and all that much. Plus, even video game consoles only get a one-year warranty for manufacturer defects.

            [deleted post]Bro just an example. In GMAIL every user have 15GB of free storage,
            Plus anyone can buy for just 2 euros 100GB more.
            Would you need more than that i dont think so.
            And even if so.
            making new gmail account into your phone is 3 minutes of work. For which you get another 15GB free storage to use.
            And guess what you can repeat as many times as you want.

This isn't supposed to be a low-end, base model device - even those should get 4 updates and 5 years of security patches, it should be the absolute minimum.

                WitheredSoul, 22 hours ago1) I like storing pics and videos on my SD card, as it'... morero for price of one SD card i can use free 15GB of gmail storage plus another 100GB cost as low as 2 euros.
                Said Gmail storage cant bricks, breaks and is as long available as i have internet connection.
                Unlike the said SD cards which are costly can bricks breaks and easy to loose because are very tiny.
                Having options is fine but there is no option because modern aproach and technology made SD cards litterary useless.
                Its like having an computer with a diskete unit just in case you would need use your old disketes you have somewhere in house lying around.
                Makes no sense.

                  And for what sake would use painfully slow SD card which can break and bricks just liek anything else saw that many times.
                  Your so called SD card is not reliable source for storage of large data files.
                  In so called modern era anyone can use cloud.
                  Even Gmail comes with free 15GB storage plus yu can buy another 100GB for just 2 euros.

                        I'm glad Sony's still making and selling the only uncompromised flagship in existence year after year, even if it costs a hefty premium. Wouldn't blame them if they skipped the US again this year though, given the ridiculous tariff roulette we've got spinning.

No need to go through painful data transfer process. Also no need to risk privacy using cloud.

                          If you reset your phone, data in SD card isn't touched. If you get a new phone, you can just insert the SD card and get all file over there instantly.

                                  You're supporting corporations instead of consumers, which is a really bad mindset.

                                    Anonymous, 02 May 2025Of course it works, you can double tap to take screenshot, ... moreI take back what I said on Pixel which as same disappointing issue as Sony. But at least Pixel allows you to choose many custom colour in themes but in Xperia only one colour available which is light blue. Not sure why Sony removed that?

                                    As for sidesense, what if I don't want sidesense button showing? It's annoying to see it there always and looks intrusive.
                                    Three finger gesture is very easy. But other ways are available too, on Xiaomi for example you set it up many ways, such as long press any of the three navigation buttons or even double tap/triple tap at the back to take screenshot, doesn't need anything floating on the screen like Sony.

                                    One handed mode is a standard android feature available even in HyperOS, not exclusive to Sony.

                                    Here's two things I have to say:

                                    1. Sony's UI used to be as featureless as now but was very reliable and smooth. Unfortunately they lost the reliability and smoothness on newer models, it's obvious when comparing Xperia 5ii with 5V. The latter has obvious UI bugs whereas former had virtually none. Don't know if they improved things with 1vi.

                                    2. Even Xiaomi HyperOS, which isn't the best UI to use, feels much more stable and usable in day to day. It takes a bit long to set up to my liking but once that's sorted, Poco F5 provides much better experience UI wise compared to Xperia 5V (other than lacking microSD card),! Yes, Poco's camera isn't that good, but guess what I can take extremely clear photos of documents and receipts in one go which is impossible on Sony, saves me from using a dedicated scanner. Also, for some reason Sony takes ages to focus especially in low light, even Poco F5 doesn't take that long.

                                    3. Waterproofing and build quality is worse than before. Not sure if 1VI improved anything.

                                    4. No quickcharge, which means it takes ages to charge unless you use power delivery.

                                    Overall, its quite disappointing to say UI wise Xperia does such a poor job against HyperOS. Motorola on the other hand has a stock like UI but it fares way better.
