Anonymous, 02 Sep 2023the bezel whiners are exhausting. its 1mm wider than the 5... moreI also hate the punch hole design but this is phone were talking about, 1mm is big and noticeable.
But what if sony somehow managed to eliminate the side, bottom and top bezel without creating any punch hole or notch? For example, making multiple small camera that fits on the small bezel.
That would make the phone more compact and usable one handed. Because right now, what makes sony phone so tall is the 21:9 aspect rato screen + top and bottom bezel. What if sony phone have a 21:9 screen with no top and bottom bezel (a straight screen, without any notch or punch hole).
That would make a very perfect phone. I would instantly buy it no matter the price. Also, I use xperia 5 IV, an almost perfect phone except for the chip, bloat apps (but not as bloated as samsung) and occasional software bugs.

What does it mean? Not all models will support eSIM? How can I know which one supports or doesn't?

The downside of Sony Mobile Phones, they have only Limited Android Upgrades 1 or 2 Series. But Very Good Quality phone.

Sony is like someone who always asks people for big favors and finds a valid excuse for it.
For a while, you will agree to help them because they do have a legitimate reason (e.g. poor health) and you feel bad for them, but over time you gradually won't tolerate it anymore.
This is exactly what it is with Sony and their big prices (big favors).
And I can't believe GSMarena's review didn't even list the price as one of the cons.

Two main cameras for about 1,000 EUR? Does Sony think that Xperia phones are among the most popular phones?

Side bezel is significantly wider than Xperia 1, a really disappointing product still sporting pre-2015 level of screen-body ratio

A phone to get in my opinion, many of my friends hate and think that these are bad phones.
But every year they keep improving and keeping good features.
Go Sony! I hope that it will be available in my area.

I think sony is gradually losing the grip of smartphone with over pricing. I hope it won't end up like Nokia. So disappointing 😔

Also, forgot about the night mode, 12MP camera sensor that works better in low light that doesn't sacrifice the natural look of the photo like google oversaturated unrealistic night mode. In short, Normal mode for realistic natural true-to-life photos and a night mode for the auto.
Use multiple small front camera setup or something to make the top and bottom bezel as small as possible (without cutting a camera notch or pinhole) to maximize the compact-ness.
Easily becomes the best all round phone.

The xperia 5IV is already an almost perfect phone (I use it). Swap the chip with a more efficient one and a bigger heatsink, make better software with less bugs, add a native gallery app instead of using google photos, remove the bloat (linked in, facebook, etc), uniform front firing stereo speaker design and it can easily be THE all round phone.
Weird why they need to upgrade the sensor size to 48MP for no reason, 12MP is already good for many things. 12MP 2x or 3x telephoto + 12MP wide camera is better than one 48MP wide camera. Heck, your photo will get compressed anyway if you post it in social media. 12MP is more than enough for printing out the photo too.
I really don't understand the hype with 100000MP++ camera lens. Tf you're trying to take pictures of someone from another galaxy or something? Bigger number feels good i guess? Trying to overcompensate?
