Is the color of the accents in the UI locked to that gross pastel blue like on Xperia III Android 12 devices? Or can it be changed on this model?

    Dantonku, 01 Sep 2022Sadly, everyone will get rid of it. Such a nonsense, especi... moreAnd considering Sony didn't even include the cable, I am just waiting until Apple and Samsung remove that too from the box.

    And the rest will follow.

    So what's next to remove? I guess speakers because I have already see people claim on this site that BT is always enough.

    Ow and sim card slot, because well "we need all this space for the battery"

    OW OW and how about removing the charging port? Yeah, we don't need that too.

    I hope some people understand my sarcasm here, removing stuff from phone often happens because money.

    Same goes for power bricks, I mean the one I had to order for my phone had so much paper and plastic around it, heck I would argue the box my phone came in had just as much of it.

    Plus then there is the price, we pay so much money for our phones and the bricks that cost pennies are not included.

    This whole "no brick in box" is going to get funny now OPPO (and surely other chinese brands) are going to remove it, because the whole shitck of these brands is fast charging.

    And in a lot of countries they don't sell their bricks to begin with...

      Grey Wolf, 01 Sep 2022I have a Redmi Note 11S 4G as my secondary work phone. I knew it ... Ppl that criticize sony the most are all redmi note users.
      Always.
      🤣😂

      For this price should have got Motorola G62.
      Paying over $200 for device that has old A75 cores, tiamna screen, high SAR, miUI is waste of money. It is a crime. You were robbed.

              Good to see that finally Sony catching up with others especially the impressive display that reach 600+ nit in manual mode with high color accuracy.

              Definitely this will become a great alternative to Apple iPhones.

                Only Pro (broadcasting series) will earn this stuff now.

I really wanted to buy a Sony Xperia 5 this year but with this house fire no thanks lol. Hope next gen with potentially SD 8 Gen 2 will be better.

                        Seems like the 5 is usually best value from the 1-5-10 trio of Xperias in every generation. Just a shame there's such a big jump in price compared to the 10 model. Would love to have this phone but it's just too expensive for me.

                          Wow, 3.5mm jack, microSD card, NFC and IP rating are considered pluses.
                          My 250EUR secondary phone has all that. Also an Oled display (of good quality) and 90Hz refresh rate. And about 350,000 points in Antutu. More than enough for a smooth day to day experience.
                          Good luck paying 1050EUR for those very "premium" features. Lol.
                          Only Sony zomb*es will pay this overpriced products.
