They got everything else right; decent cameras, decent thermal performance, decent CPU, SD card slot , 3.5mm jack, IP ratings, a clean android skin which is pleasing to use with almost no bloat and some genuinely useful Sony apps (love their music player and launcher)...

    The width of the display is sensible, makes gripping easier for even small hands. However the display is an inch too tall imho.

    Just imagine this with the same width and a shorter display, would have made a very sensible compact phone with a decent camera and a clean android overlay, not to mention the SD card slot and the 3.5mm jack!

    The 60hz display doesn't bother me but I can understand people being upset at it.

    Sony had a winning formula with the Xperia XZ Compact series phones but they stopped it with the XZ2 Compact which was a shame!!

    I find most modern android phones from other manufacturers to be just too wide which makes single handed typing very difficult (even swyping)!

    Too bad Sony keeps sabotaging itself over and over; one step forward, one step backwards, displacement = 0...

        You have to change on chapter 6. Final words, our verdict, pros and cons: "The higher-tier Redmi Note 12 Pro+ ...", it should be 13 Pro+.

          MindTheGap, 18 May 2024Even when it's available there, bet it won't sold... moreIn the U.S. it is almost exclusively Apple, Samsung and Google.

            MindTheGap, 18 May 2024Not trying to hate, but you probably should check your eyes... moreI set the G8 at a lower resolution to conserve the battery. It is nice to be able to have the option to increase it. I set the refresh rate on the 5iii lower to conserve the battery. I can notice a difference. I do see opthalmologists.

It's actually pretty nice in actual usage though since it's much more comfortable to hold than most smartphones, still not a particularly small display

                      Real oddball design. 6.1 inch tall display is incredibly narrow and probably best suits a child..but then the phone would be too tall for child's pockets. So they produced a phone that only awkward people will buy just to be different. So they change the tall display on the device that nobodies gonna buy and leave the cheaper device in the garbage that more people can afford. MD needs a slap to bring them back to reality. Xperia needs a rebrand.. It's never done particularly well even when the phones were worth buying just after the Sony Ericsson partnership split.

                        60 Hz is enough.

                          Strawhat, 18 May 2024Yeah in Indonesia sony not available Even when it's available there, bet it won't sold well. People here are literally between these 3:
                          1. Price-to-performance centric. With the same pricing you can get a phone with better performance.
                          2. Don't understand anything about phone. They will literally buy something between Oppo and Samsung anyways.
                          3. Samsung & Apple centric. They literally have a mindset "with this pricing Samsung and Apple are the only phone that worth to buy".

                            It's not everyday I've seen many people in Apple community that "forced" to buy the Pro version of iPhone and iPad instead of the normal iPhone or iPad Air just because they can't stand with 60Hz. Normally, you wouldn't notice the difference when you switch from 60Hz to 120Hz. But when you switch back from 120Hz to 60Hz, NORMALLY you would notice the differences.

Those symmetrical bezel and headphone jack are not actually "retro", it's just another big companies that wants us to think that way, so we buy their inferior wireless buds and their ugly punch hole phone.

                                  Smallworld , 17 May 2024So they're better just because they got a 90hz display... moreBeing late in getting updates is not the end of everything, even for a phone at that price.

                                      imagine, recording a video in 21:9 (either 2k or 4k) and yet, you get black bars when viewing it...
                                      maybe, the aspect ratio is also the reason why video pro is not yet on the merged camera app - video pro is perfect for 21:9 as the controls can be viewed comfortably beside the viewfinder...

                                        Daamn it Sony. I was willing to compromise on performance slightly to get this. For the sd card slot and headphone jack and decent cameras for the price + the size it self ... but then you ruin it with 60hz display and even casual gaming needs that. I've been using Galaxy A52s for few years and I was looking for a phone with same features, but with software support
