TheGoldenMellifluous, 05 Mar 2020Approximately : Late Spring 2020 and no one will buy it

    Anonymous, 04 Mar 2020No one with 40W charging has destroyed their phones. Learn... moreI don't know about Apple very much, but for Sony, they have a solid reason why they didn't bring fast charging in area of 40W+. Fast Charging above 40W may be rapid and convience. But remember, the more you use it, the breakdown of a battery will be faster as well, as battery has an economical age of usage and the electric charge going on AC is faster than usual, as some scientific research have said (you can find it for yourself in the internet. There are enormous lists of them). They rather bring features where you able to conserve your phone's battery as long as possible to prevent short living of a battery, so you can use longer than 2-3 years. Widely-known for current state that's a very-rare commodity of user-friendly removable battery in 2020 phones and battery has been planted into the phone itself, at least since 2015+.... Do you know their widely-admired Battery Care and Qnovo Adaptive Charging features? Those are the features where Sony executed the mission of conserving battery life on a phone to maximum potential and period, and it has been proven that almost all the time, it conserved the battery economical life much better (at least 2016 and early 2017 Xperia X Series).

    Besides, you should be at least grateful Sony upgraded their fast charging solution power (brick) from 18W to 21W in Xperia 1 II... Sure, possibly in the future, Sony will beefed up it again to around 25W-30W+ area, but be grateful now. Their wireless also beefed up from 9W to 15W... And best yet, even their low-end tier phone have 18W Fast Charging with USB PD, starting with L3 and now L4... Even some companies still neglecting Fast Charging for their low-end, yet Sony already provided one since last year, even they don't include the proper charger retail in the box...

          Learn how battery degradation due to fast charging works.

          Fans complaining about battery degradation until Sony and Apple gives 50w charging on their phones.
          You'll notice a change in their opinion on fast charging overnight.

            Sony hasnt done anything like this before.. they have fine tuned the Xperia 1. this could be a turning point

              Zorvani, 04 Mar 2020I like it, software, hardware, an nice design But i don't ... moreYeah price is bit high. But it can be considered as long term investment. Unlike some other brands which even being flagships don't last long. SONY flagships are pretty much guaranteed to last long and are extremely reliable. SONY has lowest failure rate in smartphones. It remains pretty much lag free for ever. Instead of swapping $500-700 phones every 2 years I will be purchasing it at $1000-1200 and using it for good 5Yrs. I used XPERIA Z1 for 6Yrs straight. Battery was only thing that degraded over time and it was much noticeable for last two years. It never lagged even once. It was as smooth as as it was in its first year by the end of its life. Yes comparatively to 2019 phones it was slow in loading apps but it was usable and extremely responsive. I played intensive games like Asphalt 8, Future Fight, Injustice 2 and many more on it no problem. Never lagged or crashed while gaming. Now with controlled charging and battery maintenance system implemented into it even battery will last longer without degrading much over time.

                  There is a patent for that from 2012.

                    The underscreen fingerprint scanner mostly used by others companies is just Optical (A camera under that part of the display that took picture of your fingerprint) and that all. Cheap tech and people or so obsessed with it just because it sound futureristic but let be honest here, side-mounted / power button is so much better and perfect to use even when place on desk. Plus you don't have to smudge your screen everytime you need to unlock it

                      But anyways, in 2020 a new mobile standard is obviously 21:9, as in a standard screen ratio supporting certain media aspect ratio standard: such as movies, newest TV shows and games.
                      So anything more close to 21:9 and less close to that other older 2018 18:9 ratio standard, as in 20:9 for ex, is just an unsupported nonstandard aspect ratio catching up to a 2020 21:9 standard.

                      Although IMO good ol 16:9 aspects should also be an option in todays mobile space.

                        Sanuda, 04 Mar 2020Yeah i noticed itit's an honest an simple mistake as the phone name is confusing in chinese is uses the first character for sony and first character for aiwa (on the phone itself) and to a person who can not read chinese, not too dissimilar to chinese words for a sony, hence why the official name is Soayi which is a clone phone company

                          Fast charging = faster battery degradation.
                          Its suprisly form me how people are happy for 40W chargers that destroy battery performance in one year.

                            I like it, software, hardware, an nice design
                            But i don't buy it with this bloody price...

                                Caesar , 03 Mar 2020This phone is (too) tall, it looks like a tv remote control. You wont be saying that in a year or two when it becomes standard. Phone height has been increasing steadily since early 2017. The S7 was the last Samsung flagship to use a 16:9 display. The S8 released next year and S9 a year after were both 18.5:9, the S10 was 19:9 and the S20 is 20:9. Tell me, what do you think comes next? lol


                                ...21:9

                                      People keeps screaming about the price of the Xperia because it doesn't have in-display fingerprint scanner and lower battery capacity etc. but Alpha and CineAlta tech doesn't come cheap. lol
