"Oh and I had to pay €80 expenses for handling and inspection because there is no error."
In with country? Services in my never take money for inspection on warranty.

Vic, 22 Nov 2023Help me decide you guys... Pixel 7a vs 5v. Coming from Pixe... moreI dod use Pixel 4a, 5a, 7 and probably will not buy anymore.
The only reason I use them was GrapheneOS if you don't care, use Facebook ect. Get Sony it will be better experience, and if you care a bit ;) just install RethinkDNS app, learn how to use and you are good to go.

Bought one. Top speaker started to buzz after two weeks in use. Sent it back by warranty. And guess what... Let me copy/paste - "The product has been inspected according to the manufacturer's instructions. No errors have been identified in this regard. If the error occurs again, it is recommended that the device be resubmitted with documentation of the error. Such documentation may include screenshots of the error." Oh and I had to pay €80 expenses for handling and inspection because there is no error. Manufacturer instructions to turn the sound on and listen for a bad speaker??? Screenshot of the buzzing sound??? Wtf!?
Convenient narrow design of the phone. Shitty quality and customer service. Sony should stick to subcontracting phone parts like sensor etc.

Help me decide you guys... Pixel 7a vs 5v. Coming from Pixel 4a now. And 3a before that. Been with Sony up until these Pixels. Now I'm hesitating.
Found the file transfer between Pixels extremely pleasent (changing old phone to new). You just plug it in and the systems do the rest! How will this work Pixel to Sony? In my country Pixel now is 300€ and the Sony is 600€. Thank you!

You can sell large units of a phone and still make a loss on each one. Conversely, you can still reach breakeven or reap profit even if you only sell a phone in a limited batch of units.

dafna, 20 Nov 2023This Sony 5V or one plus nord? would love to hear some op... moreIf I must be honest, the Nord 3 is not in the same category as this Xperia. Nord 3 is more of an affordable flagship to rival the likes of Xiaomi 12T/13T series and Honor 90 Pro. Nonetheless, the Xperia has a better camera than the Nord 3, so go for it if you always focus on the camera. If you care more about having a large screen, super fast wired charging, and don't mind using a MediaTek SoC, then the Nord 3 is worth considering.

I just discovered that this phone retails in Malaysia at MYR 4,999 (~$1,071) for the single 256GB trim. That is MYR 1,000 (~$214) LESS than the Apple iPhone 15 Pro 256GB. It's hard for me to believe to see the day when an Xperia sells cheaper than an iPhone, which never has been the case before.

Quicker, 28 Oct 2023Still way too big to fit in a pocket, so no thank You. Sony... moreI am still using my XZ1 compact...
I wanted to change it for a newer phone, but they are all so big.
I had considered the xperia 5iv because of features that I liked, such as not being too wide, fingerprint on the side, sd card, headphones, led (now gone :( ) but I sice I read many reviews pointing the overheating issue I decided to wait again.
Now the overheating issue solved. Having the notification led gone is sad but any other flagship got rid of it long ago.
Now with black friday 844€ on Amazon, but being this tall still makes me not be sure.
Galaxy s23 is shorter but wider, which would be worse for me. Also lacking many things.
So here I am, considering keeping my xz1 compact forever. Anyways it works pretty good, I still get 1 day of batery instead of 2. It just feels too outdated with the 4,6" screen.

I know that you are an employee/pay troll of a competing manufacturer whose life depends on smartphones sales (Samsung, Apple, Huawei etc) but Xperia is not disappearing or going anywhere believe me. Hate will be big because Sony shows next-generation sensor that iPhone, Galaxy, Huawei do not have. First smartphone with new sensor will be Oppo :)
