The performance test is a red flag and indicates that they haven't improved thermal management at all. Combined with the mediocre cameras, downgraded screen, and slow charging, this year's phone seems like Sony's primary mission was costcutting

    [deleted post]At least Europe does not need to pay 50% more than Japan, like xiaomi and vivo charge them compared to price in China.

    And minions blame VAT ... 😂

      Anton .el PAPI., 15 May 2024They should have but they didn't, I was reading around... more1) sharp uses same imx989 as other
      2) none of them have power to demand through contract that xperia does not use imx989, because it is between Sony Semicon and clients. Sony Semicon has no say in this. Any brand can purchase imx989/Lyt900. It is open shelf cmos
      3) imx888 is very close to imx989, while using much less power and takes much less space.
      4) LYT900 is old tech, no dual layer pixel transistor . Also too slow to give xperia what alpha team wants

      If they wanted to use again type1.0, then they would use the one inside pro-i , that is same from rx100 mark 7.

        NeonHD, 15 May 2024You write that as if we don't share the same opinion. ... more5K is also a standard, 1.5K, 2K or 3K are not.

          Only UFS 3.1, should be 4.0
          Only 1.6m Antutu score, should be 1.9m
          Only 1080p display, should be 1440p
          No charger in box
          No cable in box
          Terrible sustained performance (yet again!)
          Priced even higher than iPhone 15 Pro Max
          Very slow charging

          But hey, at least it's got a headphone jack, and microSD support huh..? That magically makes up for everything else 😐😐

              I hope this phone may become a success.

                Overall great device except poor thermal performance,average video recording,Telephoto less than optimum at higher zoom.
                3.5mm Jack,MicroSD,Huge battery life,Great multirdia experience are the biggest Pros of this device especially that Battery endurance.

                Meanwhile me being S22 user,wondering if such battery endurance figures are possible on phones?🤣 It's atleast 3X of my S22,but im not jealous as my precious S22 keeps my phone usage low because its battery would evaporate as soon as i start doing something even moderately on it🤣🤣🤣

                  "Sony even provides a charging limiter, so you can avoid overcharging ad set it to 80% or 90%."

                  This has nothing to do with overcharging. It's to prevent the battery from staying at high voltages that degrade it faster. Please edit your review and fix the many typos present.

                    Damn that throttling.... its like going from s8gen3 to 855 in few minutes...

                    But still price of it make it a joke, that phone should cost MAX 800$

                      What Sony is doing with these phones is legendary.
                      Basically unique in this perfect zero BS designs that check all boxes, year after year ..and going under the radar year after year.
                      Shame!!

                        NeonHD, 15 May 2024You write that as if we don't share the same opinion. ... moreThey should have but they didn't, I was reading around, according to gossip, Sony is receiving money from Chinese manufacturers so that the one-inch sensors are only exclusive to those brands, and it makes perfect sense, because if not, why would the Sony itself does not use its own flagship sensors in its phones!! Let's see if from here to summer the prices drop a little, for 900 dollars it would be a good option to the Pixel 9 Pro XL and if you find one in red uffff I wouldn't care about the panel or the 6.5 screen

                          I don't care what anybody says. Sony is back.

                            these GSM Arena tests are always very good. I look forward to purchasing it when it comes out in 3~4 weeks. I am delighted with the sound quality but unfortunately the red color does not come out in our country (Switzerland). It will therefore be Platinum Silver because it already had khaki green (1 V)

                              Anonymous, 15 May 2024Should be 5040 x 2160, not any of these two you mention. You write that as if we don't share the same opinion.

                              I'm just saying: if not 4K, then give us 2K. If not 2K, then give us 1.5K.

                                How does the company that makes Alpha cameras always manage to put subpar cameras in their phones? Seriously...
                                Still major and good improvements, especially if we get 3-4 years of major/security updates but still too expensive for what it is. After all basically same cams, no Gen 4 SoC, only FHD+ over 2k and still comes in an empty paper egg tray.
                                Xiaomi 14 and Samsung S24 can both be had for under 900 EUR in EU. Price shouldn't be above 1199 EUR, otherwise simply not competitive.

                                  HTC Droid DNA released in 2012 which was the first phone with FHD screen, has sharper screen than 2024 photography focused Xperia flagship. Feel free to check yourself but here's a comparison:

                                  Xperia 1 VI: 396.49 PPI

                                  HTC Droid DNA: 440.58 PPI

                                  Imagine buying a phone for £1,300 in 2024 and looking at a screen that is less sharp than the screen of the phone that released 12 years ago.

                                  Let that sink in...

                                    Shamrock Sean, 15 May 2024What's so hilarious about this?? It's not funny 🙄Hiralious? The fact after 12 months many here do not know exmor T has 2x light sensitivity of exmor RS of same size.

                                    Imx888 is less than 50% of imx989 size , but its ability to absorb light is 83% compared to it.
                                    Let alone a 1/1.28" ....
