        I don't understand the hatred here. Some us us use features like expandable memory and a headphone jack. In addition to convenience, you get better sound quality which some of us appreciate. The 1 VII won't be available in the U.S. so I would risk being about to use an imported model but it would be tempting in the price drops. As it is, the 5III I use still works fine although there's no security updates. With an external DAC, it sounds good enough. The old LG I have sounds better, but it's still good enough with an affordable expandable DAC.

          If it worked where I live and I could afford it, I'd buy it.

                  I wanna know why speaker FR is spaced out by 10db increments because more logically it should be with 5db increments even 3db is significant for response. It would also make the graphs more usable and legible.

                      The main issue with Mark VII is actually... Snapdragon 8 Elite.
                      Hopefully Snapdragon folks will sort out it's teething problems in Gen 2.
                      Still the one and only flagship smartphone with MicroSD and 3.5" jack tho.

                        Darth Caesium, 13 May 2025This thing is under 400 PPI, you will obviously see it with... moreNah...You just need longer arms and it'll be ok. 😄

                          Hey, Sony, how hard can it be?
                          Just make a phone like S24u or Xiaomi 15 ultra or X200 Pro/Ultra, but add micro SD card slot and headphone jack. Don't reinvent the wheel! And more people will instantly like your product, you'll get more sales and profits!

                            Tester, 13 May 2025On a 6.5-inch screen, there's no difference, unless yo... moreThis thing is under 400 PPI, you will obviously see it with the naked eye. On phones with PenTile OLEDs, anything below ~460 PPI is noticeable.

                                Sorry but its cameras are a huge piece of dog shit, I'd rather have a Pixel 9A or iPhone 16e than this overpriced mess

                                  Yikes, it looks like the battery life took a huge hit 😕

                                    Sloopie, 13 May 2025Looks like you still don't understand sony is a niche ... moreOk... But that doesn't disprove in any way what I've said. Sony is taking largely the same approach as Apple and Samsung, which is recycling smartphones one year after the other, bringing few changes to newer iterations. Niche or not, innovation is lacking. Actually, given that Sony is a more niche company in this business, they should be innovating and trying out more new things

                                        Anonymous, 13 May 2025what you hardly need over 1vrms for iems to get damagingly... moreyeah but what exactly is the better DAC doing???? a moderately good DAC is enough to cleanly play any stuff. Unless you want some tube simulation or something i hardly consider modern day DACs to be insufficient.
