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.

Ottonis, 12 May 2023Regarding battery life: It immediately catched my eye that ... moreSamsung screen has 2 million less pixels to push.
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.

I'm only considering the Pixel 7a because it's probably the best value rn for a mid-ranger. It's got a decent camera and the software updates for a decent price.
I would prefer to get this phone, but recently something happened and paying extra to import it on top of its price is not worth it. I need an upgrade and I shouldn't be spending so much on a phone, but the FOMO on this phone is getting to me.
"Also depends what market you're situated in, what features matter most too you and if you're will to sacrifice enjoayble android softeare experience (you wouldnt with the 2 phones youve mentioned, unless you enjoy the pixelOS/xperiaOS then its whichever you prefer using most)."
I'm in the Canadian market and Sony phones aren't officially sold here anymore, unfortunately. I had a pixel and I don't mind the software, it's not a priority to me, but it is nice to have. I take a lot of pictures so having the Xperia makes more sense, but the price is a bit difficult to justify since I'm paying more to get it here.

Tell how you would put the phone in your pocket with the USB drive attached? Would you be able to charge your phone with fast wired charging?
I too use USB drive for storing long term items from phone, but it doesn't beat the convenience of having SD card where I can get a file as soon as I need it.

Better standby stamina is only important for people who don't use their phones very often.
People who have severa hours of on-screen time will experience a massively shorter battery life compared with S23U and other phoness

Why have they removed the notification LED?! Clearly just for cost cutting pure and simple. Such a useful thing that was pretty much on every Android phone had a decade ago.

Does anyone knows if EU is getting 512 GB version?
Also, wyth there is no 1 TB option???
What this phone is missing:
- 16GB RAM
- 1 TB SSD
- full USB 4.0 spec (40Gbps and 100W) and
- full 48Gbps HDMI 2.1 Out spec
- VRR
- Screen should have 2160 lines to be called "4K" or "UHD" . 21:9 is great! At least it's a standard, unlike other phone manufacturers.
- Stock Android
- Main camera should really be 35 mm
If it had all that, it would be perfect for me. Wouldn't care if it is twice the price.
Many other things they do great (Full front facing stereo speakers, 3.5mm jack, Micro SD card slot, no hole in the display, no curves on it as well...)

No charger and NO CABLE in the box for that price - that has to be a joke. Also still overheating and thermal throttling issues like every other Xperia.. That's just not good enough Sony. Terrible cooling solution as always.

Fantastic phone! Finally finding myself (for the first time) having to agree with "the cost will not allow me to get it" brigade. I am a total Sony fanboy, but in this 2023 economy, our currency has depreciated against the dollar more than 50%, it's just not a realistic expectation for me to get it. Miracles do happen though... That said, one of the best phones ever made!

Seems like this phone also belong in the same category as P60 Pro.. A niche products with high price & excellent camera..Just read both review back to back ..
The reviews mention that both have mature processing but I still prefer sony in daylight but Huawei nailed the night time.
P60 Pro are really good with ultra wide & telemacro .. And both sucks at telephoto .. The telephoto probably belongs to Galaxy, Pixel & iPhone(?)
At the end, you can't go wrong with any of those phones, Huawei, Sony, Samsung, Google & Apple especially if camera is the main priority.
Vivo might be close to the above group but Xiaomi & Oppo is a bit inconsistent .

Zoom pictures looks very bad. And again it's too big gap between 24mm and 85mm. 24mm is too wide BTW for a main camera. I don't understand this trend. 26-27mm was better. There is an ultrawide if wide angle is needed.
