GoToSchool, 16 Nov 2023Any news on os updates? the 2 year thing isn't enoughIf you want 3 or 4 years os updates, you better choose the products from rich reputable companies.
Sony's phone business is almost dead now, smart people would stayaway from xperia.

              Hi guys! I have some great news about next years Xperia devices! Some source( I won't say it) says some of their phones, or maybe all of them will have a huge battery upgrade from 5000 mAh to 5500 mAh!

                    I live in Poland and aren't a student but yeah, the carrier I'm with (Orange) has a combo available with headphones and was thinking of going for it.

                    I reckon wireless charging, eSIM, better battery and the improved brightness are a huge draw plus as long as ambient display is still in it might be worth it.

                    I'm also considering the 5 IV cause it's cheaper and has some of the above mentioned features.

                    Also the main reason for the upgrade is my cracked screen which costs about US$350 here in Poland to replace so was just thinking of plopping down money for a new phone instead.

                    Take care :)

                      There's nothing we can do about it. We have to move on and ignore them. Going for Sony just for the SD card and ability to use 3.5mm wired earphones? Nah. They have the headphone jack as there's still tools which use a 3.5mm port.

I researched properly before buying it and I am happy with it. Honestly the bezels, and blue color shift issue - noticeable sometimes - doesn't bother me, I normally have my phone on dark mode. If you're in the UK I hear you can get a student discount, you also get a "free" headphone but I don't know if the promo is still on. I am not a camera person but I hear the cameras are fine.

                                If anyone knows, for comparison, are both the screen and torch brighter than the Xperia 5 II or about as bright as the 10 V cause these are what I have to go on. There is nowhere really to have a look at one of these on display in a store near where I live cause it's just Samsungs, Apple and Xiaomi everywhere.

                                  Anonymous, 28 Oct 2023Those side bezels? Ouch! Worse than the 5iv. At least it's functional, unlike most smartphones today who have super thin bezels but the screens aren't 100% usable because they have holes on them.
                                  The only reasonable criticism that I can get behind for the sony smartphones is that they are expensive for their features.
