•Flat notchless screen with just enough bezels not to be prony to accidental touches
•Thin (8mm) and slim, not too big overall
•Audio jack
•MicroSD slot
•Stereo front speakers
•Decent camera setup with 4K 120fps and good manual controls
•Dedicated shutter key
•Lomg display good for multitasking and scrolling
•Big boi battery
•HRR
•Phenomenal, elegant design mixing the looks of 1 II and 10 II Xperias
Finally a fully featured flagship in 2020 and probably my next phone! The only thing about this device that I assume will be a bummer is the glossy, finger-catching back panel. „Frost black” matte variant similar to the limited japanese version of 1 II would be the best, but I guess we aint gonna get anything like that

While it doesn't match the pixel density, the XZ screen is so much smaller that having it as 4k could be considered pointless, whereas the screen ratio and size for the Xperia 1 II makes 4k that much better.

Really high hopes for this! Finally a smaller phone with flagship specs from Sony again :) Been looking for an upgrade from my Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact!

I admit I am not up on all the tech details and understanding, as much as I like the 5 mark 2, it does not seem to be much of a change from the XZ Premium, indeed dpi is significantly less. Maybe Premium was a ahead of its time, but I struggle to justify changing my premium for a newer "better" phone and adding 200% to my monthly costs

I hope gsmarena clarifies if this phone comes with ufs 3.1 or not.
Finally a phone that's symmetrical no notch, front facing speakers, at least 120 hz sreen refresh rate, decent battery capacity.

I'm really interested in Sony and LG phones but I don't understand Sony's ranking.

[deleted post]Literally the perfect phone now with 120Hz screen and even 240Hz with Sony own motion blur reduction from the X1 II. The most critic on the X1 II is the lack of high refresh screen and unnecessary 4K resolution on tall 6.5 inches. Debatable camera. Price tag is not a problem. Knowing Sony Xperia history it will become dirty cheap after a few months. Know even with OS support till android 13. What can even beat this thing?

My current phone is an LG G7 that I got because it checked all my boxes: relatively one-hand-able (since long and thin), had a headphone jack, wide-angle lens, and an SD card slot. Since LG killed the G-series, I've been looking for a new phone that checks these boxes, and this looks to be it! The Xperia 1 II was too pricy for my needs (plus I'm not a fan of 4k displays on phones -- kills battery without any real visible benefit), the 10 II is just a touch too light on memory and processor (but still on my list), whereas this is looking like a close-to-perfect middle ground for me as long as it's not crazy-expensive.
Looking forward to this!

For all people complaining about the price:
Don't forget that Sony usually offers free high-end headphones as a gift if you preorder. Or you can simply wait for a year and buy it for 600 bucks on Black Friday discount.

Would have preferred a bit more width and less height but otherwise this is almost perfect!
- no curved display ... I think
- headphone jack
- not too large
- good size battery
- 120 Hz display
Hopefully it has a nice matte finish and retains the notification led. 1080p+ display is fine as it should be cheaper than the 4K which is a bit overkill. Personally I don't care about 5G but unfortunately we're all gonna have to pay for the expensive SD865.
Fingers crossed on the price.

Someguy20, 30 Aug 2020I reckon £700 in the UK, $700 in the US, and 65,000 rupees ... moreunlikely, the original xperia 5 was 699 so expect this one to be around 200 more, (with 5g and higher costs)
Xperia 1 899 >> xperia 1 ii 1099

Compact-is, great performance, Quick camera button, Headphone Jack, huge battery... All the checklist points were covered. I guess I will have to, finally (THANK YOU, SONY!) buy a new phone.
Now let's hope the price is not something enormous, and the color range is nice.

Make best true wireless headphone and earbud on the market and still keep the heaphone jack on both flagship and midrange phone. Sony finally listen to their fans. With 120Hz screen (better late than never) this will sell more X1 II imo

verden.kma, 31 Aug 2020Specs look gr8, but the biggest problem with all sony phone... moreHonestly Sony might be on a trend of ramping up their prices. But I'd definitely enjoy emptying out my wallet for a Sony than an iPhone.
