Sony should bow out with some dignity. This is a joke.

So nice, my next phone.
It's a lil bit expensive, 400e should be a fairer price, but I guess it will drop quickly soon.
A compact phone with decent hardware, no hole in the screen and no bloatwares (like Samsung)
I wonder why it is so hard to find in a so gigantic 6,66' punch holes screens clones market 😮💨

Pumpino, 12 Sep 2025It's like an HMD model, but double the price.And HMD's offerings provide better value for money, despite being a smaller company with comparatively scarce resources. The Skyline is notably cheaper than a half of this phone's asking price, with a similar or better chipset, exceptional repairability, faster charging with support for Apple's MagSafe accessories, spatial audio recording with playback over stereo speakers, twice the storage with higher RAM and faster UFS speeds, and significantly better cameras overall.
What intrigues me is how they had to wait for an Apple base model launch to enable high refresh rates, and the design is ripped off from the Nokia 6610i. They could've removed the camera island altogether and placed the rather mediocre cameras in the middle to make it look premium for its asking price, as well as used an alloy-based body to make it justifiable enough.

A36 advantages (for slightly less money):
- Thinner
- Glass back
- Hole punch
- 6 OS updates Vs 4 OS
- Bigger screen
- Better selfie camera
- Faster charge
- Under display fingerprint
Cons:
- No microSD
- No headphone jack
- Worse rear cameras
- Heavier
- Shorter battery life due to larger screen but same battery size
- Harder to unlock bootloader (with One UI 8, it drops this ability. You have to downgrade back to One UI 7 to do it)
Subjective:
- Larger screen hence less compact
- Side fingerprint sensor may be more convenient and is undoubtedly faster

Really like the design, but 6 gen 3 for 450 euro? hard pill to swallow. notchless, 3.5mm headphone jack and microsd are all features I miss on my phone (I just have a black bar at the top of my phone to hide the punch hole).

It's a bit overpriced, but there are definitely meaningful improvements here, finally 120hz, and no more 8MP ultrawide camera.

Better rear camera, better battery life (thanks to 5000mAh but smaller screen), lighter in hand, a cleaner software experience, and easier to unlock bootloader (One UI 8 prevents unlocking bootloader so you have to downgrade to do it)
On the other hand, you get a worse selfie camera, plastic back compared to glass, and thicker bezels (I'm actually fine with it seeing how thin they are).

M, 12 Sep 2025This is actually a step in the right direction for Sony. I&... moreSame. It looks like an actual worthy hardware upgrade to the outgoing Xperia 10 range as the current Xperia 10 range's design language seems dated and tired now.

It really looks like Google's, but better looking. The main camera bump is the same color as the body, creating a simple and stylish whole.But I personally want a bigger screen.
