I preordered this through adorama and they came with the sony xf 1000xm3 earbuds for free. I wish it came with the new xm4s, but I'm happy with my order.

I dont know what to feel. Marques has the phone for about a month, and we are still waiting for a pre order. I know they get early access for reviews, but still😅

Shoobidoobop, 30 Jun 2021There seems to be a lot of disagreement and hate here, but ... moreMe too buddy. Waiting for the preorders to start since the phone was announced.
I would argue that disagreements are fine in a forum. Not everyone will have the same opinion.
Hate, on the other hand, shouldn't be. Every company has a customer base that they are trying to please. Companies like Samsung are going for the mass audience while companies like Sony are covering much narrower demographic.
There is no need to bash a company who doesnt cater to your needs but someone else's as there is atleast some brand out there that will cater to the needs of the rest😊

There seems to be a lot of disagreement and hate here, but honestly, I'm excited for this phone to release for pre-orders tomorrow. It may not be the best at everything and it has some crazy features like the 4k, 21:9 screen, but for a phone that will last multiple years as has previous xperia phones have, it's got everything and more I could ask for. Even if you don't like this phone, I'm sure you can appreciate what Sony tried to do with it to stand out from the competition

10x zoom? Personally I don't like it, and I find it to be a gimmick.

As the guys below me said, it's all subjective. I'm getting the phone when it's available in the US and I'm going to try to get used to it until something else comes up. But as Baka mentioned, this is the only phone with headphone jack, MicroSD card, and front facing stereo speakers that can be used in the US (other than the Galaxy A52 kind of but I will never support hypocritical companies so that's a no for me).

Do a side by side hardware comparison and you will see that NO OTHER OEM has front facing stereo speakers, WITH a 3.5 headphone jack, WITH a notification LED, with a few other unique pieces of tech too numerous to mention here. DO you not realize that the only reason "they" can charge a little less...and it is very little less, is by REMOVING these necessary hardware features? Your opinion that these Sony phones are overpriced is faulty at best, and shows your ignorance.

Sony has very natural never over processed images they don't like over saturated, over blown and processed like Huawei, Samsung etc. Your opinion on them being better is not factually correct.

notafanboy, 30 Jun 2021Those features are useless to me just like they are useless... moreI mean headphone jack is a convenient feature, I can still use the old earphone design with the jack since I hate how the new earbuds drill into my ear and at the same time not worry about battery. I can still use wireless, but having that jack gives me space to charge and listen at the same time. I like to keep all my photos on my SD card, and I take a lot of photos on my phone so this is a benefit, but I wouldn't call it a useless feature.
The 21:9 aspect ratio is weird at first, but I got used to it pretty fast. I read a lot on my phone (articles/manga/etc) and that tall aspect ratio helps in that regard. Holding the phone is more comfortable than the 18:9 of the XZ2 Premium. I feel like phones now are too wide, so this is a more comfortable design. You don't like it and that's fair, it's a subjective area. That doesn't necessarily make it a con tho.

"more comfortable design to hold" the TV remote design? Personally I don't like it, and I find it to be a gimmick simply because most content online isn't even available in 21:9 aspect ratio. Netflix has some 21:9 content but the list is rather small.

Is there anything other than the camera on the Sony that bothers you? Like Sony flagships have headphone jacks and SD slots, more comfortable design to hold, and other things that flagships nowadays are omitting.

The difference is minimal. Sometimes the Sony us better, sometimes it is worse. The cameras are excellent, the computational part is worse. But if you are unable to use manual mode to Equal and Excell the computational photography of other phones then that is on your lack of knowledge not on the camera. No matter your knowledge you aren't going to beat the 20fps exposure and focus that the Sony brings you. And no matter your knowledge you aren't going to outzoom the 280mm optical on the s21 with your Sony.

notafanboy, 30 Jun 2021No. Apple, Samsung, Huawei - they also have insane pricing,... moreThat's actually very debatable. If we take into account overall capabilities of the phone camera, then I'd say is one of the best if not the best overall.
