The size and features with SD card slot and headphone plug is exactly what I would want, but still unfortunately lacks a usable processor with a usable processor cooling system and the internal memory should be 512GB.

Ndalox , 02 Sep 2022I have never understood why people hate on Sony this much n... moreHi. You are right. I use Sony Xperia since 2015 and am very happy. The last one is for 2,5 years. The quality is good. I dropped this phone many times and I didn't care about that. I have just few scratches because of key, but they are minors, you can see just under light. Battery life now is short ( around +;- 8 hrs YouTube and social media) but I used very hardly the phone so I don't complain. Next phone will be definitely Sony.

Man to correct you i dont hate i just put a nice example in comparison.
Comparing two products where one costr 300-400 less anddoes more much more tricks isnt hate but we can call it eyes opening to those who are blind and maybe they thinking buying one. I dont mind Sony is a great brand it always was but they overpricing a lot.
Manufacturing cost of this phone are under 400-500 euros and they asking 1050. Thats not a good deal.
Same thing will cost half of its innitial price after 2 years and 1/3 of its innitial price in 2025.
This is how it goes. They trying to steal from customers as long as the device is new and there isnt better sony for sale.
But there is no single thing which would value this phone to 1050 euros.
Just for example K50i by Xiaomi cost 400 and the raw difference between that xiaomi and this Sony phone is pretty small.

Hardware isn't the only thing that matters, but Sony managed to fit a 5000mAh battery that charges at a decent speed (nothing crazy but neither 5W) in a phone this size, along with a headphone jack, wireless charging and expandable memory. Plus three camera sensor of decent size (the end results being just average and not very good in low light is a software issue). And rated waterproofing.
Even if overall this phone isn't the best nor the one many will get, it clearly shows how everyone else engages in anti-consumer practices and gimps their products to get more money from you. I'm talking about power banks, substitute batteries, cloud services for when your phone internal memory runs out (yeah I know there are alternatives, but still), wireless earbuds, a new smartphone earlier than it would otherwise feel necessary...
Props to Sony for not doing that while literally everyone else does.

One cannot appreciate the quality and premium design elegance of a Sony phone before they actually owned one. My former Xperia XZ1 is going into it's 5the year while still working properly while my Xperia 1 is going into its third year and despite the small scratches due heavy usage and multiple drops, it still feels like a premium phone which catches the eye when you take it out of your pocket
Also the aspect ratio of the Xperia 1 fits ideally into my hand and the 4k screen quality is still close to flawless after almost 3 years
The only reason why Sony phones get bad reviews is out of envy. The over pricing is worth it as the phone brings long term value to the discerning user

I feel that the review by GSMARENA is strongly biased.
I did not go through the entire review as I have no intention of buying the phone.
However, I did read through the camera section.
By no stretch of imagination can you call the low light photos taken by any of the three cameras even acceptable. They are dark and hardly anything can be seen in them, especially the zoom lens photos.
Competing phones from Apple, Samsung and Chinese companies take far superior night photos.
