          All electronics will become less responsive time after time, and I'm deeply aware of it. Both my Xperia Z5 and XZ do show their age lately with becoming less responsive, but they're not unusable. They're still usable to my expectations as tertiary devices. Combination of Snapdragon 810/820 and eMMC 5.0 and 5.1 tech that's far behind, so it does spell it out. However, as for my XZ Premium, it's still responsive as I remember due to having the combination that I could say is enough, which is Snapdragon 835 and UFS 2.1.

              I want to buy a Sony smartphone so much, but then I remember how I have bought a PlayStation from the US and the guarantee wasn't valid in Europe. So tough luck, Sony!

                Anonymous, 18 Oct 2023Because Sony has things other phones don't have. Yeah... morePersonally I don't like an ugly hole in my screen or a generic looking square camera cutout on the back and about the screen it's literally one of the best out their (proven fact) as for support it's as they advertise you get all the updates until the cutoff point although definitely they need to provide longer updates

                    Bad Support...i take it you never used a Sony phone.

                    Display: RIght, Sony should use the same old 1080p display as other phones, no other phones offer 4k

                    Camera: Its not for 15 year old girls like you who want to post on IG and Tiktok

On YT is everything but not in places that you think it should be. Most reviews even dont scratch surface of Xperia 1 V. If you want true about low light type Low Light 4K samples | Xperia 1V

Let me ask you something: does MicroSD needs WiFi to access your stuff? The answer is no, MicroSD doesn't emit nor receive a signal similar to WiFi, Bluetooth or anything, it just connects to your phone (of course it's undeniable that people when they see mass storage at a way cheaper price than reputable brands, they'll just buy it only to be hacked but it's easily solved by not trusting brands that might seem suspicious or unknown (SanDisk is a reputable brand, so is Lexar, but everyone has to be careful when choosing from a brand so looking them up only wastes a couple of minutes that will save you from getting hacked or your files getting deleted (it also applies to phones you would find on AliExpress that are cheap counterfeits of actual phones))

They just need some battery replacements (I already did that for the Z5 and XZ Premium).

                                      Anonymous, 12 Oct 2023My friend, the question is not why everybody hates it but w... more"Narrow display"

                                      I currently use both my Xperia 1 II and Xperia XZ Premium as my daily drivers (1 II is my primary, XZP is my secondary). Although I still love my XZ Premium very much and 16:9 is still great, since I used the Xperia 1 and 1 II with their 21:9 aspect ratio, where it's tall but narrow in design and display, I felt the XZ Premium was too wide, so my usage for my XZP wasn't as frequent as it used to be. Especially when Xperia XZP and 1 II wide is 7mm differences, which's noticeable (78mm vs. 71mm). And using multitasking, watching videos, sometimes films, and everything at a 21:9 ratio, I prefer that a lot on my Xperia 1 series to my 16:9 XZP. Different people have different opinions; yes, I am aware of that, but this is my experience that the narrower, sometimes the better.

                                      "Little service and software updates"

                                      Fine, I won't deny these and want this to be better and longer than 2/3 years of updates, but even then, I already accepted that I want the Xperia because I want to stand out in the public. The proper 3.5mm jack, proper camera shutter button, modernized Xperia Z design, toolless SIM tray, 3-4 separate apps for content creation, and microSDXC card slot are crucial to me, as those components already made me sell to Sony easily.

                                      "concerning the headphone jack, you can buy earbuds with usb connector instead if insist on wired audio. "

                                      The purpose of the 3.5mm combo jack isn't just connecting your wired earbuds; it's also for connecting an external microphone when shooting or recording. See this site's Xperia Pro-I written and video review or Joshua Vergara Xperia 1 V review. I owned both the Xperia 1 and the 1 II, and I prefer the dedicated jack of the 1 II to using the dongle/adaptor jack for my OG Xperia 1. It annoys me a lot, as sometimes I need both USB-C and a jack to connect at the same time but I won't deny that my OG Xperia 1 is still usable.

                                      "SD card... well, nowadays internal storage is high enough for everybody, nobody will insert and exsert sd cards from his phone."

                                      I used a (micro)SD card as it's essential in every situation, especially dire situations that can't rely on internal storage or cloud storage. You know, my Xperia 1 was running out of internal storage, and I traveled a lot in German cities back then, where I took a lot of video and photos. If it wasn't for MicroSDXC card support, my Xperia 1 would have a boot loop and cost me a lot to fix. And not to mention, Sony Xperia's supervisor brand, Sony Alpha, still uses SD cards to store photos and videos, so most of the Sony Alpha technologies that the Alpha engineers are able to implement in Xperia will be trickled down and implemented all at once. Sure, my Xperia 1 II Dual has 8/256 instead of my old Xperia 1 6/64, but even then, I still use the MicroSD in case of emergency as IDK if something wrong happen to my 1 II.
