Only for the most dedicated and loyal Sony fans. Not a lot out there. Most others have moved on to better things.

    Anonymous, 20 May 2024Got a xiaomi 12tpro. While Im not exactly thrilled with it,... moreYes, LG phones were better and had the features I bought the 5iii for but the wired audio quality was superior on the LG. I bought the 5iii because I needed a working phone and it still has expandable memory and a headphone jack but those are the only major features I bought it for. It's too small and narrow but fits well in my pocket. I wouldn't have bought it if it wasn't on sale. It's been working fine. I like the design, too. It doesn't feel like a child's toy The price of these things, not only Sony, is absurd but, yes, Sony's extreme prices are ridiculous. Is moot now because they've left the U.S. market.

      Sony needs to change to a 90htz refresh rate screen and a better 50mp main camera or better 12mp selfie camera.

        Mr. Anonymous, 19 May 2024Xiaomi 13T is a much better device for the same price.Got a xiaomi 12tpro. While Im not exactly thrilled with it, it does the job day in day out. Hammered it for over a year charging 3x a day.. Only noticeable degradation is in gaming where I've maybe lost 30-60 min of gaming time. Standby still excellent. I don't miss the overheating of Sony phones, the dodgy speakers and mics in call, the super slow picture taking where you miss what you wanted to capture, the incredible price they try and charge when you can get a much better more modern designed equivalent.. Oh and back to the cameras.. It's amazing how other companies that use Sony hardware can get better performance out them than Sony can. Sony could have been Samsung but weird marketing and out of date hardware underperforms.. They can't even get average performance out of current hardware snapdragon 8 gen3. How Sony survives when LG died with better devices is a mystery.. Maybe those high prices and loyal fans is all that stands in the way of Sony mobile divisions downfall.. It's definitely coming if they carry on this path.

          I'm using Xperia 10 IV (two gens older than this) as my daily and I absolutely adore it. The 9:21 display is great for showing a lot of stuff while keeping the device's side-to-side width narrow and easily one-hand-able; and the plastic shell has survived a lot of drops even without a case. I don't even have complaints about the 695, since I don't play games and the device is reasonably snappy once everything is loaded in the RAM. I also use the 3.5mm jack a lot for my moondrop iems, and the 60hz display doesn't bother me since I haven't used a device with 120 so I don't know what I'm missing.

          My biggest complaint is the shutter speed of the default camera app. It takes some time to load in, and then it takes a while to actually snap the picture and save it - I've lost the moment so many times that it's more reliable to simply pull out the iPhone SE from my other pocket. I didn't see any complaints in the review so I hope that they fixed it.

                  YUKI93, 19 May 2024It's way too early to talk about Xperia 5 being cancel... moreYou're right but there still was another Xperia device that was certified with Bluetooth 5.3 assuming they don't install a midrange chipset on the 5 this might be something else that'll also get released this year

                    YUKI93, 19 May 2024It's way too early to talk about Xperia 5 being cancel... moreIt will likely be available in only a few countries, if at all, judging by they're giving up on the U.S. market.

                      YUKI93, 19 May 2024Even though I'm now into Sony phones after LG's s... moreThis is what i mean i just need bigger screen with quite good chipset midrange. I don't need Xperia 1 features, but i like Sony UI, why there is no 10 plus again after first release at 2019. Please hear us Sony to make 10 Plus next year. Hopefully you can hear our request for this 10 Plus Version in the near future.

                        I hate Sony so much, because they could be the best in the midrange segment with features like SD card, 3.5mm jack, front facing speakers and small form factor because nobody else does it, but they keep using budget SoCs and 60hz panels, while their cameras aren't any better than the competition.

                        In 2-3 years we gonna hear again that their mobile division struggles with selling phones globally, blame customers that we dont want those features and will either stop making them or change their designs like Asus did recently.

                                  I was looking for a slim smartphone with a width around 70mm or less. In this range there are only the Samsung S23, the Asus Zenfone 9/10 and Google Pixel a. But all of them cost around 550 €, compared to the 399 € for the Xperia 10 VI. The 21:9 format is oddly but I got my hands on the precedessor and it felt nicely in the hand. I don't care about OS upgrades (I'm not doing any banking on my smartphone), I don't need the fastest smartphone and I'm currently using a Samsung A13 2016 with Android7. SD slots and 3,5 jack are nice features.

                                  So I guess, this will be my next smartphone.

                                      NOK6600, 18 May 2024Sony is now niche market. they produced limited smartphone ... moreOffering 3.5mm jack and expandable storage doesnt qualify Sony as an innovative brand. Its more appropriate to label Sony as the most user-centric brand.

                                        Xiaomi 13T is a much better device for the same price.
