Anonymous, 12 May 2023Nice phone, but outdated design. Every brands phone look almost same with little increments, so .....

    OTG is far more common these days than MicroSD, especially on higher-end phones.

      Why exactly did they drop the notification LED? A peripheral glance from across the room to see if anything requires attention wasn't a good thing?

      Sad, as it looks like an excellent phone otherwise.

        Anonymous, 12 May 2023Nice to see xperia does not use tool to open the slot. Ev... more1 minute ? Nice. With USB i need 1 second to plug in. And whats you with these transfering between phones ? How often is it even necessary ? I change phone once in 1-2 years.

        And even then mSD is not needed since still prefer to use convenient samsung switch for this because there is lot more to transfer than just photos when changing phone and app does it perfectly.

        With samsung switch entire proces is as easy as putting twoją phones side by side.

          Even if the two phones need tool, you would not still need more than 1 min to take it out and insert inside the second phone.

Fastest available mSD are way slower than fastest usb-c drives. 3. Most hi-end phones have USB OTG from years. 4. Even fastest mSD require newest sd Reader to achieve optimal speed. Not know wether sony change sd reader for mark V but mark IV ones were VERY slow.

              And above all usually sd card reader in phone is not resolve with spring load slot but trough sim drawer which often require remove the phone case, than ejector pin to open litle drawer and after transfer files all these steps have to be repeated.

              It is MUCH more time consuming and inconvenient than just pług in USB drive.

Just because there's new tech, it doesn't mean the old one is automatically rendered outdated or dead. If it still has important value in long term use, it won't ever go out of fashion. Simple as that.

USB-C pendrives aren't still any faster than a UHS-3 microSD card. Also, you forgot the fact that most phone still don't have native OTG support. And one more thing: People who always use microSD card don't like to waste time transferring files using Wi-Fi or with PC since they don't put all the files on the internal storage. When they got a new phone, just pop up the card into it and off they go.

                                        Lower bitrates and color depth.

                                        Even if it did not have ltpo, it would still have to last more.
                                        Just compare numbers of 5 vs 1 series.
                                        5v is gonna score about 130h.
