Sony... moreWhile I do agree that Sony should improve one thing to another like software support or tweaking their camera processing while keeping it natural, it doesn't mean Sony should give up and remove the remaining old-school tech that become their USP of smartphones to fit into the tech normies just because you said so. For me, I rather Sony cease Xperia production with Mark VI being their last just like LG with V60/Velvet/Wing on defending old techs than have to surrender up the old techs in exchange for "new techs" like a MicroSDXC card slot, front-firing stereo speakers, camera button, pin-less SIM card slot, notch-less or punch-holeless display in Mark VII and future, and if that happened, I rather I moved completely to Apple or Google Pixel, especially Apple because Sony's spirit live on Apple until now due to Jobs's fanboyism to Sony.


Look at the most famous example I already told here many times, Porsche's signature Flat 6 (F6) Engine, either turbocharged or Naturally Aspirated, for the Porsche 911 family, that has been staying and equipped in the Porsche lineup for 62 years straight and still living despite stringier emission regulation. Like, are you aware of how loyal and protective are the Porsche purists? You know if Porsche directly moved the 911 to electric and killed their F6 engine without consideration, would cause outrage and probably diverse 911 former fans to other brands? This is especially how monotone is every product in every sector these days. It's remaining their bread and butter despite not being their best seller since Boxster and Cayenne took that over. Even the Porsche 911 GTS Hybrid 992.2 that was announced without a manual, something Porsche purists love, caused outrage. Sure, manuals 911 sold less than their PDK-automatic counterpart, but Porsche knows, that giving some options is better than nothing. It took until the 992.2 Carrera T launch for purists to get their manual again.

Despite all brands trying to move to EVs or Hybrids Tesla revolutionized in some ways that had to make Porsche Taycan EV to just compete and comply, as long the regulatory and law can make their F6 engine alive despite 2035 ICE ban, Porsche will do that.

When phones cost over 1000 euros first thing they should try to improve is software updates policy because it's horrible compared to competition. Even mid range lineups from competition offers longer software support for example galaxy A56. Nothing new 3A lineup gives same 3 major OS upgrades but they are 2-3x cheaper plus the company is completely new.

      Sony should do a edge to edge screen again like the xz3 or xa, that would be a cool design.

They seek Xperia because the other OEMs are removing features that only can be found in Sony Xperia these days, right? Sony approach maybe flawed but considering everyone is removing everything because following of Apple's footstep, option to pick Sony somehow become more sensible.

          porkiemix, 19 Mar 2025Contrary to the above, there is no Dynamic VibrationI mean the teardown of the Xperia 1 VI that shown a coin-shaped vibration instead of the big, rectangular vibration did indicate that Dynamic Vibration System was discontinued by Sony forever, but the main question, which Xperia flagship that axed the DVS that was introduced by the Xperia XZ2 of 7 years ago? Was this or 1 V? It's definitely not the first two Xperia 1 series AFAIK

                Anonymous, 18 Mar 2025>Stock Android offers a dire, customization-lacking, mis... moreOff the top of my head, these are the most irritating aspects (Android 15):

                - Round icons everywhere (I find that mildly revolting), can't customize the shape (even pared down Nubia UI allows for that). Can replace a launcher to fix that, but that will prevent me from using Private Space functions.
                - Material You color offerings are horrific, there's only a single "custom" color not derived from wallpaper, which of course can't be edited. And all of them are pastel colors. I mean, seriously, pastels? Also no option to change the drab grey backgrounds to something darker, or true black. Would have to root to fix all of this, voiding my warranty.
                - This is probably the most egregious one, given the removal of the notification LED: No customization to ambient display (AOD) - there are two options, on and off. No timings, no variations, nothing.

                I find it sloppy, amateurish, and ill thought-through. It's exactly the kind of thing I expect from Google, given their focus being first and foremost data mining. But from a $1400 device I should be able to expect some decent customization options, at least on par with the basics even Chinese manufacturers bother to provide.

                  Anonymous, 18 Mar 2025Dream to waste money for sure.Those who seeks old-school features only had very few option these days, and 1 VI is the top of the line of offerings these days. So for some people, these could be their dream phone. Like, do you see what Samsung did with A56/A36? They removed the one thing that made those phones has an appeal over many midranges these days, the MicroSDXC card slot. Or how on earth they made S25 Ultra's S-Pen feature to match as the G Stylus 2024's stylus, when S24 Ultra's S-Pen is pretty much the standout?

                    I would say that with faster charging rates, there is no way SONY can guarantee that the battery capacity will remain the same for four years.

                    If you prefer faster charging rates over battery longevity, there are multiple brands that can offer devices with 100W+ charging capabilities.

                    However, please try to accept the fact that there are folks out there (myself included) that would prefer to use the same device for longer than a couple years.

                                        Anonymous, 11 Mar 2025Does the headphone jack even matter without Hi-DAC?The sound is good from the jack. I compared it to my fiio m11 pro, so obviously it's necessarily a bit less good, but the question really arises of switching from one to the other. The only flaw is the low output power, and I think that with headphones that are quite difficult to "drive", the Sony is no match. But with a small portable headset it's ok and the listening quality too.
