In my jeans, My Xperia 1 II can go completely in and I still have some space around 1" left. I could share my jeans picture with you with the phone if you want. I feel like you are exaggerating things a little up. All flagships (including Samsung, OP and Apple) are big, I get that. But saying only Xperia 1/5 is BIGGE/TALLER is just bs. That 21:9 makes you feel like it is taller but the height of Xperia is similar to other flagships. Now I'm getting tired of this conversation. Please stop. If people want compact smartphones, they will not even look for smartphones bigger than 6". Period.

    Xperia 1 is a lot taller than iPhone Max.

    Edit: Oh the Max as tall as Xperia 5 :D
    Lucky you.

      Fearghast, 03 Jul 2020You might wana plug in that brains of yours when responding... moreJust a food for thought, are you pockets smaller than normal? I can fit an Iphone 11 pro max in mine perfectly fine while sitting down. (I'm only 5' 8)

      Definitely the Xperia 1 might be a challenge but I can't see how the Xperia 5 will be hard unless your pockets are quite small.

        When will the battery test be published?

          Fearghast, 03 Jul 2020I really don't care to prove you something, I don'... moreThe thing is, dude, the smartphone industry is the highway adopting aspect ratio over 19:9 ratio in major scale products, like 20:9 (seen in Samsung devices) and 21:9 (mostly in Sony), with the most adopted reasons was for "cinematic immerse & experience", and begin moving away from traditional aspect ratios like 16:9 and even the former trendy 18:9 in a major scale after years all OEMs embraced these aspect ratios and the only handful of phones released with 16:9 or 18:9 in 2020, let alone next 1-2 years. iPhone SE (2020) is a few exceptions, but that it could be the very last to have a traditional aspect ratio on the market.

          And here I'm not even mentioning the last flagships to have 16:9 (which's Nokia 8 Sirocco and XZ2 Premium) and 18:9, industry-standard proper aspect ratio for multimedia (4:3, 16:9 and 21:9), and compact-sized flagship existence at the moment (S10e being one of the last of its breed). iPhone SE (2020) counted as mid-ranger as some specs aren't par with their iPhone 11 siblings.

            i also want compact phone. that's why i asking you. i'm super curious is there any android compact phones left out there. do you see me whining about the size of xperia 1 or 5? its too big all that stuff, if its too big for you, dont buy it.sell your xperia 5, buy another phone, problem solved.

              If you are thinking I am criticising only Sony, it's your limited experience. I am criticising 21:9 aspect ration that does not make sense for a mobile phone.
              So stop whining? Never.
              When you stop whining and stop criticize stupid decision manufacturers do ... you get exactly to a point we are now.
              Sony started to backpaddling with Xperia 1 II, backpaddling to a better device than they released before, backpaddling in the righ direction ...

                Fearghast, 03 Jul 2020Please do no insult me with iPhone SE, be so kind. I care ... moredo you know any other options for compact phone? the smallest i know for the recent android models was samsung s10e for at least high end specs and palm for whatever that specs was. they even called 6 inches screen phone is compact phone now.we all know there aren't android phones in truly compact form on the market. so stop whining like it's all sony fault.

                if you really an experts on mobile phones, please do tell me which brand and which model still utilizing 5-5.2 inches screen on current market, i really want to know

                  Just a reminder for some people.

                      I care for Xperia 1 II / 5 II you might not like my constructive criticism :D but whining is probably all that you can do about it.
                      iPhone SE as an alternative to Xperia 5 ... seriously? As an upgrade to Xperia 5 .. I should buy SE ... great idea.

                        God I love the names of Sony smartphones

                          Smithravi, 03 Jul 2020As I said then you have to look for compact phones regardle... moreYes for what it is iPhone SE is good. I think it will be better suited for him in both size and performance. High end Features will be missing but at-least he will be getting Apple smoothness and reliability over time. iPhone 11 Pro is also good to be considered if you need high end features but the size will be larger than iPhones SE.

I had no trouble with Xperia 1 II size as it comfortably fits in my Jeans (in the front pocket and not back while riding bicycle). My only complain about these peopel who complain is, it is not just Xperia that is of this size, all smartphones are of similar or bigger sizes but still I don't see people complaining about it.

                                Me saying Xperia 5 is not comfortable in pocket -> therefore Xperia 1/1 II won't be better experience seems like a reasonable conclusion.
                                Not to mention 99,9% of Xperia 1 features is in Xperia 5, it's the same device apart from useless 4K panel and DRAM for slow-mo.

                                  I am wondering if the "Totally wrong" statement was referring to the things you stated below it or to my comment, because the first option makes much more sense.

                                  Regarding to the length of the phone and the reaching of the top of the display, it is already impossible since the 18:9 started regardless of the screen size, even 16:9 above 5.5 inches inches is impossible, down to 5.2 still feels awkward, so why bother about it while it is a forgone conclusion??

                                  The 1 mark 2 is as tall as a S20 ultra, regarding to the pocket thing it is the same concept, phones in general have grown a lot in size, i have a 143 cm phone and i can't drive car, motorcycle, bicycle while it is in my pocket.

                                    Fearghast, 03 Jul 2020Even Xperia 5 with it's 21:9 is totaly not comfortable... moreIf you really need compact device then stop commenting in XPERIA 1 II discussion/opinion thread. Wait for compact version to launch.

                                        Yes, fps doesn't work well with wet/dirty hands. But yeah I don't expect them too, it will make it less secure. I never had problems with fps until now unless my fingers are wet. This is the reason I registered 4 fingers on both hands lol.
