      Pixel 5 will be at least $700 but you want this one to cost the same?

        I love this phone as much as I hate it.

        Well, it's Sony - that's good and bad alike. You get all the stuff that makes you yell like a little Sony fanboy. Great Screen, great cameras, good build quality, no nonesense Punch holes or notches or mechanical moving cameras, aka a solid design. But then you get the other part of sony aswell: lacking updates (most likely), outdated cameras (at least frontwise), a plain design that looks like a 250$ xiaomi phone, no qi charging, fast charging that feels like 2017, a premium price tag that doesn't fit the hard or software.

        There is simply no way I can recommend this phone to anyone, not even media/video students over a oneplus, samsung or iphone. This phone with 6" also is not at all compact! It's bigger than a Samsung S10+ with 6,4" and as big as an iphone11 pro max with 6,5"! So not even fans of small-er handsets will like or buy it.

        Its sad sony still makes compromises to phones as expensive as they offer them. This phone would be a dealbreaker for 700$ but is a lame duck at 900$.

              Haters dream of an Xperia with same design of phones like Pixel 5, S10e and Redmi Note 9.

              I wonder why. Speaker beside usb is awful position ( my own experience), reason they moved back to front. Hole ruins screen and increases prices because supplier has to modify how organic compounds deposition is managed.

              By the way, curves and ugly hole can increase price of screen up to $40.
              They cost even more to be replaced.

                Sheeesshh almost 300 comments already? 😂😂😂

                Xperia 5ii is a great smartphone overall. You dont like it, dont buy. If you like, dont come out with nonsense comments defending everything what Sony have done, when the shortcomings are still there. There are no perfect smartphones. It all depends on your needs & budget.

                                        People are mad that this is the perfect phone in 2020. Unapologetically non-gimmicky.
