Arte8800 , 05 Jun 2020True, crappy o2. Unlocked better. Don't hate the curves ... moreIt is unlocked. All o2 devices are unlocked now.

    Fearghast, 05 Jun 2020That is with a plan, right? And it's O2 Branded phone with ... morePlan is 1month only. You can cancel plan in 14 days anyway. Firmware for o2 is nearly same as generic and it is dead easy to flash to generic if needed.

        60E-->z), 05 Jun 20208k and 4k on tv is useful because screen is large. 4k on p... moreFirst off 2k is 1080+.
        You meant 2.5k or QHD. We also have 3k on most galaxies right now.
        And just because not everyone can see the difference does not mean nobody can.
        As well as thats why you can easily change the resolution in settings.
        Stop trying to hold back technology because you assume people don't need something or because of fallacies.

          Alex, 05 Jun 2020I don't think i am. Quite the opposite. 700 comments about ... moreAnd now you clearly didn't read or understand what I said.
          And when you said "700 comments"..if you are referring to this thread than that makes zero sense cause majority of these comments have nothing to do with Denmark.
          Read it again and come back with a logical response that makes sense and is actually based off what I said.

              You made an incorrect statement while also only using one aspect of the entire aspect you replied to.
              Then told me I was "missing something" because of your fallacies.

                Don't hate the curves on the phone.
                Love the minimalistic omnibalance monolithic design like

                  Europe and US edtions are single sim only so far. I guess they've consolidated the two markets to not loose money. Usually it was always US market with single sim slot.

                    1080P vs 2160 is big difference.
                    You don't own a Sony XZP, which I do, which has 4K screen.

                        Screen brightness, sound loudness from speakers and jack. These are things I hope are improved from my XZP.

                        Don't know why it is, but only Sony designs appeal to me. All other phones are looking the same. All rounded and curved like Galaxies. Me no like. Lol.

                          You can pay £799 and cancel any plan - they told me so on the phone. It will probably be with O2 firmware, but I'm not afraid to flash another firmware with Flash Tool to make sure my VoLTE and VoWiFi are working.

                            robdevil XI, 05 Jun 2020In UK it is only £799 via o2 and you can claim WH-100... moreThat is with a plan, right? And it's O2 Branded phone with custom firmware (aka custom update delivery) ...
                            Does not seem all that amazing TBH - 900€ + plan + branded.

                              In UK it is only £799 via o2 and you can claim WH-1000XM3 headphones

                                Smithravi, 05 Jun 2020Then you have to go to an eye doctor. Reasons: 1. People w... moreNot knowing how audio works ... fine, not many do. But eyesight? That's really easy to understand.
                                That's not even trolling anymore mate.

                                  Smithravi, 05 Jun 2020Tech is good or bad is not the point now. It is just in bab... moreI wonder if Xperia 3 will have an IR blaster....
                                  There is a place for tech and there is a place for most of the Sony tech that was never used and is forgotten.
                                  We have something you don't is efective only if it's used and implented well.

                                  You know how many LDAC transmiters there are on the market? I own one of those 3 or 5 that exists... good job Sony with that LDAC implementation.
                                  You nailed it ... in the coffin that is.

                                    60E-->z), 05 Jun 2020People cannot see the difference between 2k and 4k phones ... moreThen you have to go to an eye doctor. Reasons:
                                    1. People who used Sony's Xperia 4K screens did say they notice the difference in daily life unlike you who never even used it in the first place.
                                    2. 4K OLED with pentile pixels (RGGB) is equiavalnt to 3K IPS display. This means if a company says it is QHD, it is actually equivalent to 1080p IPS display. Indeed any human can notice the difference between these resolutions on 6.5" smartphone at such 10-15cm distance. If the display is 4"-4.5" may be you are right.

                                      Fearghast, 05 Jun 2020Oh my PR goodness, check other solutions before you spout m... moreTech is good or bad is not the point now. It is just in baby steps. It could be improved in future just like how Dolby Atmos isn't a big thing when it began. Anyway my point is, you said it supports on all devices, which is not. Not ALL headphones supports it. Not all smartphones supports it including LG V60.

                                        Smithravi, 05 Jun 2020If it is just simple SW and need no HW, why would sony clai... moreOh my PR goodness, check other solutions before you spout more PR nonsense.
                                        It's simple binaural algorithm that can by spiced with headtracking that probably not even baked in current WH series in a proper form.
                                        I own WH for years now, it does support 360, I never even turn it on once.

                                        This is exactly a type of PR Sony is known in audio world - good on paper - sucks irl.
                                        You might repeat "You all just hate Sony" as a broken record, but I am the user of phones, headphones and other Sony equipment. I just do not use only Sony, I use ... I review more products. I hate everyone equally.
