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))

                  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.

                        This phone has all u need, but the price is steep. However it's worth when u consider like all phones in flagship category are silly and similarly priced. Besides a Sony is is Sony meaning that design is always different from the large amount of China slabs.

You could use a dongle to get wired headphones, but try that at the gym with some movement, it disconnects instantly and does not compare to a 3.5 headphone jack no matter what. That power port was not build to take the rigors of headphone jack use and will break easily when used with a dongle, speaking from experience. I love using my DJ cans at the gym, never fall off, best noise suppression around the ear design, comfortable, real bass, loud, high sound quality. However, moving away from Sony to find another android that has these features, without a network for parts Sony is just screwing its customers. Fool me once.

That is because there are no positive things.

And the SD card... well, nowadays internal storage is high enough for everybody, nobody will insert and exsert sd cards from his phone. And for data transfer just use a cable.

                                  Sony does not have a repair center or even a distribution network for parts in the US. So if your phone needs parts, like my $1,800 Pro I, then you are out of luck. I've been trying to fix it for 5 months now. Assurion can't even fix it, they said ebay is the only place to get parts for it and they are not allowed to shop there. The one phone number Sony has for third party to fix your phone, no one answers. Sometimes you can wait on the line for an hour and then it just hangs up. It's basically a fake company. Owning this phone has been the biggest waste of money. I've never seen this little support from a global company before.

Why n... morePeople love nitpicking the phone that stands out the most from one of the most-known brands, and Sony is one of them, so they decided to hate it the most. They hate it so much that they will scapegoat Sony when their lives don't go their way as an act to express their daily-life frustration.

                                      I'm seeing a lot of complaints about this phone. Why not get other phones? Why does it have to be this specific phone? Because of the headphone jack?
