Still own Xperia XA2 since the day it was released... Will get this one as my next... Would be better to have less screen size to consider it as a "compact " and would be better to have the SONY logo on the front as well, like XA2 has... Specs looks great!

if the 1 II and 5 II get price drops they could be quite worthy as they still hold up very well. 10 III may also be more popular than 10 II was, especially if 10 III gets a slight price drop (there's even a free headphones deal on the amazon UK preorder); hopefully the 10 III's camera will be good.
concerns about the 5 III's pricing are understandable as well, and it would be nice to maybe see this get a slight price drop at some point too, but i think for the most part it's already worth it, assuming the cameras still hold up (shame there's no TOF 3D depth sensor though)

Anonymous, 10 May 2021Sony needs a phone in the $400~$700 to survive.5ii and 1ii sold much more than 10ii.
Why do they need phone in this 400-700 range?
Also, old phones like 1 and 5 are better than current midranges of any brand.

Needless to say its priced in the same range as the Flagships from Apple and Samsung? Its a "Premium" phone with a "Premium" price tag. If that does not justify the price the 3.5mm and HD jack will.

wired charging is more efficient, and for the price you are getting an uninterrupted screen with headphone jack and sony camera features. comparing the price to samsung's current high-end phones that lack those, i think it's worth it

Rareart1, 08 May 2021I hope the sound coming out of the headphone jack on this m... moreLG was always the choice among audiophiles. The inclusion of a dedicated DAC for wired headphones makes those so much better than anything else I've heard. Sound quality (through headphones) has always been a priority for me on phones. It's also why I want aux jack and SD card. I am not always around WiFi for streaming, so store a lot of music on my phone.
That said, I've heard folks say the 360 audio on the 1 and 5 are amazing. There's no DAC for wired headphones, which is unfortunate. There is an "LDAC," but this is essentially upcoding for wireless headphones. Having an aux jack in itself speaks to their commitment to audiophiles. Bluetooth streaming of sound can be convenient, but it's still maybe not at the sound quality of wired connections. The gap between wired and wireless is closing. I hear a difference, some may not, or even prefer the sound through Bluetooth.
The 5 and 1 iii both will come with Dolby Atmos compatibility which certainly is a plus for those situations where it is applicable. There are also various other aspects of the phone that are supposed to give a better audio experience, such as DSEE ultimate, which kinda sorta acts like a DAC in some respects to my understanding. And indeed, there are folks who truly don't hear much of a difference with the various audio enhancements currently available. But with LG out of the game, the Sony likely will be the best choice out there for those who are more discriminating and discerning with and about their music.
