Sony's auto mode is inexcusably bad.

I've owned two recent Sony flagships and both of them were buggy messes when I got them, 6 months later nothing had changed.
Paying over £1000 for a poorly supported, bug-ridden and average camera equipped phone is insane.
I really don't understand brand fans, those brands want nothing from you but your money and should only get it if they produce products that are worth it.
Sony don't do that, arguably they never have, don't waste your money here then they just might make better phones...unlikely though, on both counts.

335 comments!!!! That's how Sony lover, Sony haters, Ex-Sony fans, bots, etc are bashing each other on just a Sony Xperia article. This shows hoe "HYPOCRITE" they are and lots of Fake Sony fans out there!!!!
These are just rookie numbers. I have seen comments went up more than 1k in one of the article about a Sony phone 5 years ago.

Coopere, 07 Jul 2021Would love to know what's the better value. Front faci... moreAny device of flagship range, because none of the features mentioned are exceptional. Camera is terrible, microSD useless with 128GB or more of storage, battery is below average (and the features has any other phone), 4k display useless, so what remained? Oh yes, only the four letters...
I was looking forward to having a Sony again, but with so many flaws I got myself S20 FE.

Seems like many comments and complains here can be assumed that many people wants to buy Sony smartphone actually and hope more from sony.

honestly the phone is not that bad as described in this review. Its just the price of the phone that is seriously bonkers. but then again its obviously because of the low sales volume which is making them price their products higher. BBK plays on volume, same for samsung. love sony's niche phones. please somebody make them release a compact one and globally.

And he doesn't own the phone, and he yet claims he knows. How funny.
Software firmware always corrects it.

Would love to know what's the better value. Front facing stereo speakers with 360 audio, headphone jack, beautiful 21:9 uninterrupted 4k display at 120hz, micro-SD expansion, battery health features, professional grade camera app and a variable periscope lens. None of which can be found on any other smartphone. So tell me, which other device can be considered a better value?

[deleted post]You have a point, this phone is not for me or not at least at the moment. I can live without all the features you mentioned, good sir. But what I looked forward to about the device is that it was advertised that thermal management will be very good.
On a regular day I'm most fond of mobile gaming when I have time to kill. This phone caught my attention because I also liked it's form factor.
