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.

Swill Bucket, 02 Sep 2022So do not buy it. Simple and elegant solution.Well supporting this robbery on a customer its not my forte.
Many else companies could make 100% genuine same phone for 300 eur lover price at least.

Jyroux, 02 Sep 2022since when a celphone with the latest cpu is considered a &... moreSir maybe i am blind but Qualcomm SM8475 Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 (4 nm) i dont really see it there. That CPU is already half year old. Even S22 ultra had it. 8+ version is latest.
Even Xiaomi Mi 12S ultra had much better specs and brand new its innitial price was 720 euros this cost 300 more and is not even 70% of specs of Mi 12S ultra.
Many else phones from many else brands cost way less and does way better job.

Daemon Targaryen, 04 Sep 2022Sony used Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 for this which is a big mistak... moreyes, you are right, but the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 can make it much less hot if you use it for a long time on the phone for several months

Sony used Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 for this which is a big mistake. The overheating will not go away.

An overpriced Sony again. I had Sony phonearound 2013 and I took never Sony again.
The phone has good preferences though better if you buy a S22 ultra. It better in camera and performance.

Kujtim Zymeri , 04 Sep 2022U have no idea for Sony devices. This with only two years ... moreNice excuse to defend Sony, huh? For this price 2 years of software updates isn't enough. And if software updates aren't a big deal, security updates are. With 3 years security updates, they are also not enough. By 3 years your phone will be at higher risk of getting hacked while other flagship phones still get 1 or 2 year of peace of mind...

I don't mind SX 5 IV design but that chin in bottom bothers.
I remember the time when I got my first smartphone back in 2011 which was SX Neo V.
I want other companies to use SX 5 VI as it's identical.
