I am a sony user and I was using the xz3 and I was looking for an up to date sony software for an affordable price but sony sucks when it comes to pricing I expected the 5 iv to be below $750 but its instead more expensive than the 1 iv so I just got the 10 iv it's cool but no stereo speakers, no dynamic vibration, no camera shutter button and lacks other features. The only thing this phone is better than the xz3 is its performance and updated software. Please sony I was willing to get 5iv even for $600 but its overpriced than other compact phones. Now I think the U. I doesn't make sense just stock android and every new sony phone I get, some great sony software apps are missing. I don't like the fact sony is over using stock android please work on phone FEATURES of midrange like xperia 10 iv ,PRICE, User Interface and marketing . Sony was growing at first but I don't know what is wrong now. Sony is now going down and I'm thinking of switching to Samsung next year

PeterM, 22 Sep 2022I'd rather want a better soc, faster storage (UFS 3.x)... moreQuick charging is overrated, especially when you've got battery life as good as this.
Even the 10 III has storage that is sufficiently fast, and while a better chipset would be nice, it is sufficient for me. Still, I hardly believe there won't be an improvement in next year's model.

Man, I hope the next iteration of this phone will have stereo speakers. That's basically all it needs. Maybe a camera that's a little better, too.

ive been reading all the reviews on here and youtube and finnali decided tobuy this for the battery life...
ive never been experiencing any problem with it and the 60hz screen has never been slow or feelinf laggy
the battery life is amazing ive never used a smartphone like this
the responsiveness is what you need!
it feels small and easy to hold and use and in 2 months of usage i am really in love with it
though sony could have implement the double tap to wake option

jeonbeom, 17 Sep 2022so even after updates it's still bad?Yep, I'm afraid its still not great. Photos are ok tho, especially daylight photos from the main and telephoto are good, ultrawide is a bit worse but still ok.
Lemmy: it's normal, the phone only have always-on-display during charging (shows time and date), if you enable it in the settings. notification LED is what you have to live with, at least its RGB.

That statement goes on top of the fact that only 1080p is available. Focus hunting is a thing, and there's a noticable lag when changing between cameras during recording. Especially going from the main lens to either the ultrawide or the telephoto, and switching between the ultrawide and telephoto. Going back to the main lens from the other two is a bit more responsive.

Tried this handset out over the past two weeks (in US). Nice size in the hand, but unfortunately it does not support Band 12 (which I missed) and that is required for Ting MVNO (T-Mobile) to work correctly.

i'm considering to buy this phone..i just want to know your experiances while recording videos on it..does it stutter too much or is it normal? and has it improved over the updates? does installing a separate app for video resolve the issue..? i'm not hooked on recording 4k as 1080p is more than enough for me.. i just wanna know about the lag while switching lenses

Ki-8, 15 Sep 2022Just got this phone... Mixed bag of feelings. it ain't... moreThen you shouldve opted for the 10 III instead! It mostly has what you explained & should be cheaper now. 10 III can also play & record videos upto 4k compared to this that is totally locked down to only 1080p which is big deal breaker for me.
They are pretty much identical besides 10 IV having bigger battery & the newer gimped SD695 soc.
But IMO, 10 III is overall much better & it comes with charger & cable inbox.

Just got this phone... Mixed bag of feelings. it ain't cheap for what it is.
In 2020 got deal for Honor View 20 for 180 euros for ex exposition unit.... still kickin, just rear glass is broken, and front is scratched, Never used case or screen stickers, but no lags, good battery, cameras are booth decent.
This one i got for 360 euros including bundled WH-XB910N headphones.... i think this not bad deal also... But phone is still downgrade comparing with Honor device from early 2019/ late 2018.... Honor flagship never was expensive one.
Positives:
*size
*plastic casing (ex Lumia fan here)
*5G
*battery
Negatives compared to old one:
*performance....... this might be an issue, even after 1 years, and after 2 it could be unusable as dayly phone. as work phone it could last long time. if noone brokes
*slow charging speed and no bundled charger or cable....
*fingerprint reader is downgrade
*no IR blaster ( but its optimistic to find phone with this lately)
*camera might be better
* No usb 3.1
the bigest +, is size even if i have big hands, and biggest -, is performance and charging speed. everything else is compromises i could live with.
Big battery is cool but last phone already had decent one, with fast charging, which is superior, when you can top up buttery in hour and not to try save power.
So Honor View 20 was the best Phone I ever had, and I doubt this one could be better after 1.5 years. also i doubt about Sony smartphone quality as i had isues before.

Read on reddit yesterday the charging power is dependent on battery temperature, just Sony used a too agressive setting, and it cuts back from full power once the temp goes over 30°C.

Thanks for answering, PeterM. I was mostly worried about damaging the battery or something like that. But now I feel I probably shouldn't worry about that.

Gustav, 13 Sep 2022Can I use Samsung 25W charger to charge this phone? Model n... moreYou can, for sure, but don't expect it to work full power during charge. I have a 30W Baseus GaN charger, but the phone seems to be charging in the 20W range in the very beginning of the cycle, then it seems to reduce in the 10W range after that. I'm pretty sure it's limitation of the phone, I doubt it would charge with 20W all the time with sony's own (overpriced) charger.
If you can get a lower spec charger for cheaper, you might save the money, the phone won't benefit from a better charger.
