Anonymous, 10 May 2021I think it is gonna cost €450Sounds about right, give or take. I checked Germany and France sites just now, neither are listed as yet. Me thinks a lot of stuff will happen around this Friday - the one month anniversary since the announcement.

Sony have listed the UK price for the Xperia 10 III but have held back for the premium phones. The price for the 10 III can be found on their product page - it is £399 inc VAT.
Separately I have enquired with Versus.com as the 10 III is not listed but the other III phones are. Hopefully with the price development it should be listed soon.

i have iriver ak120 for my music player, i'm still using it, compact,sounds nice,have 2 sdcard slots, have digital output too, amazing stuff. i always listen music with my music player, that's why i rarely using headphone jack on my phones,i only used it whenever i really have to using headset because of noise and stuff and since the pandemic i rarely taking photo also so i learn not to live without shutter button i guess,but sdcard slot, it's really a must feature for me, smartphone without sdcard slot is basically e-waste for me. i have music player with 2 sdcard slot in it,how the hell a smartphone don't have sdcard slot? doesn't make any sense, there is never enough storage, i have 30tb of hard drive storage for my pc, and i still literally have to buy another hard drive for next year. do people really think 1tb is enough storage for life? it's weird how company can get away by keep eliminating basic features and yet charging more and more

Anonymous, 05 May 2021as far as i know mark 1 weren't that popular so probab... morethat 3.5mm audio? that is important to me. i also had an mp3 player before, but now i am using my past phones more on that purpose. i still use my current phones for music play, so it is still important for me to have that jack. besides, i can hear better during zoom meetings as i am wfh...
the only android phone i have without that 3.5mm audio is the xz2 compact, the dongle is good though, but i hope it will lasts like my earphones and headphones do. sometimes, i use wireless audio, and even though sony upscales audio over wireless audio, it is quite noticeable, apart from the fact that i need to charge my headphone... though it is not really much of an issue, i would still use either depending on what i do with that - that being said, i am happy that sony put back that audio port...
speaking of that 3.5mm audio, i also liked the controls on lg v50s, though i cannot claim that the quality is way ahead of my 1ii... it is "better" but i guess i am not that "audio guy" despite of playing music almost the entire day...
i also have (still) nokias having the dedicated shutter button - n8, lumia 1020... other phones allow the volume rocker to be used as a shutter key, but it is completely different to the dedicated shutter button found on nokia lumias, symbians and some xperias as it has two stages - half press to lock the focus and exposure, push all the way down to take the photo... ye, like the digital cameras...
thankful that there are still phones giving such features as it is needed by some people like me....

No high refresh rate / SD780 ☹️ If it's under $300 then that's fine.

I really want this phone, main reason for buying it it's compactness, and actually usable with 1 hand. My current phone has 6.5" screen and is very wide not to mention over 200 grams.

Not sure how much this is going for but it should have had a Snapdragon 780 considering people are claiming that It's overpriced.

skkayman, 05 May 2021If mark I is there, then it is still that expensive. SD car... moreas far as i know mark 1 weren't that popular so probably it would still be there for a long time, i also have mp3 player so headphone jack on a phone not that important for me whether is there or not i dont really bother with it but i can't live without sdcard slot, i'm running console emulator,manga,some anime/tvshow and stuff on sdcard, it's very useful features to access data especially when i can't get access on internet (like you know travelling,remember those days? sitting on an airplane) and to store photo/video files from the camera too, the storage in the phone strictly for apps only so i don't need to worry about backup stuff
oo my bad, i didn't know XA series have shutter button. since i don't have winter in my country so gloves never a problem, my personal use case for shutter button is when i see something and i want to take picture of it,i just grab the phone in my jeans pocket while holding the shutter button, by the time the phone is out,the camera apps already stand by, i dont need to unlocked the phone or wakeup the screen or whatever to open up the camera apps,simple and easy with shutter button and i could choose which camera app i want to open with that shutter button too,i really like that supposedly simple feature. in sony xperia they have two camera apps i think, you could just point and shoot or if you want to play with the manual setting then the pro app is the go to camera app.
i've tried samsung flagship from s5 up to s10 with the note variants too, i lived in crappy region though so all of them using exynos which already ruin the whole experience in the first place, don't even started with their idiotic UI, huawei nova and p30, some cheap vivo, realme stuff, xiaomi,redmi stuff, none of them i like, i kinda loathe them one way or another, the user experience just trash, not worth, i've tried iphone but not a fans.i wish i've tried some LG phones, i heard some of them are really good but somehow i never try them, in the past i've tried xperia z1c,z2,z3, and my friend bought xz premium which looks very cool,kinda big for me though, so anyway i've tried variants of designs,features,UI whatever, personally for android, i'm more into sony phones.i'm coming from windows phones with lumia 1020 and 950, and my first ever phone was nokia 7280,let's just say my tastes are not mainstream.
personally my ideal phone was xz1c, i wish sony release the update version of xz1c,i want something compact and practical, sony ace looks like it could be the one in my opinion,fit my needs but no shutter button and japan only...who would've thought in this age, picking a smartphone would be this hard?
well, may your xz1c last for few more years so when xperia 5II is cheap enough you already knew which phone you have to buy :D

Anonymous, 05 May 2021oh, even the mark 1 still that expensive? i don't eve... moreIf mark I is there, then it is still that expensive. SD card is a must for me too, headphone jack is not necessary. It is funny thing, but I want headphone jack but I am never using it. No phone before had a good audio output, so if I ever wanted to listen something on the go, I used my mp3 player. But, I would not care about it if everything else is great :).
XA2 was not flagship but have camera button. They just want people to but 5 or 1. I would probably not using Pro app for taking photos on 5 series as I have my DSLR or compact ricoh gr series if I want to play. But camera button is usable feature on all price ranges of phones. You do not need to take off gloves in winter to take fast picture. But I understand your saying of sony's point of view about it. Pro app comes with camera button (which I thinks is the only way to shoot there?).
I hate punch holes, notches. I have tried it but got away with it very fast. I like bezels, no need it to be so big as XZ1 series had though :D. Also frontplaced stereo speakears are great. We gave our kid tablet with four speakers but they are placed on sides. So watching something means that everyone else hear it louder then who is watchig it :(. Stupid idea.
I was looking on fx pro1, as before xperias, I got Black berry and the best phone ever Nokia E7, but that curved screen with big size and bad positions stereospeakers killed it for me. And being developed by a small company which has problems with shipping orders and android updates adds it as no buy.
I was looking even at that mini iphone, which has ideal size. But I am not fun of iOS, also no microsd card. So I am willing to do some compromises, which with 10 II would be the price, as it is fact that phones with better specs are cheaper. That camera button would be really a premium thing and maybe even more people will buy it (but that is just my wish :) ).
Hopefully, my xz1c will be working a long time. I had to change usb port and screen already. There was some problem in factory which makes screens for sony, fire I think, one sony friendly serviceman told me. I did not want to buy chinese clone screen and the originals were out of stock everywhere. That guy found me blue screen somewhere in stock, so my xz1c is unique with blue front and black backcover :D.

skkayman, 04 May 2021The price on german amazon I wrote before was for 5 mark I,... moreoh, even the mark 1 still that expensive? i don't even bother to look at mark 1,because that things don't have sdcard slot and headphone jack, sdcard slot is a must feature for me.but that's suck, i probably have to wait another year for xperia 5II then
yeah, shutter button is very useful feature,especially with compact size phone. perhaps because xperia 10 is not a flagship phone so the camera technology most definitely not their top priority so why even bother put shutter button in that thing from sony point of view, i guess. feature wise, the xperia 5II offer some improvements from xperia 10 series and most definitely an upgrade from specs wise, but whether it's worth the price different... i can't say, i haven't try xperia 10
changing brand? i'm not sure, if you're looking for specific features, design, preference/requirement, such as classic design,no notch, no punch hole stuff, smaller screen ( less than 6,5 inches ), on power button fingerprint, shutter button,sdcard slot,headphone jack, almost stock android.... sony is the only option you've got, unfortunately. it's kinda hard to find a certain/unique phone these days, most of the phones being offer pretty much similar from one another, you need to make many compromises. but hey, good luck for finding your xz1c replacement! that xz1c used to be my main target for android phone years ago, cool looking phone

Anonymous, 04 May 2021xperia 5II was prices at $950 if i remembered it correctly,... moreThe price on german amazon I wrote before was for 5 mark I, my bad. So even the first 5 does not costs 500 euros and I do not think that mark II will be less then 700 any time soon :(.
Camera button is what brought me to xperias, then I found compact series. Unfortunatelly, Sony is not having camera button on all phones.. Then there are not many reasons to pay more. Battery management maybe? Really thinking to switch different brand.. :( After xz1c die.
