Poor updates (policy), overpriced for the specs. I mean, 400-500 for a phone with a SD695 and 60hrz? Come on… Such a shame, because they are the only ones with a screen without a punchhole/camera cutout…

No entry level options, relatively lower specs for the price asked, mediocre software support. That being said, they are one of the few OEMs in their price segment to still offer headphone jacks.

Yeah headphone jack is a nice bonus, my only method of playing audio from my phone in the car is the aux cable

Where’s the article?

There’s an embedded video above the headline. It’s easy to dismiss as an ad. I did, too.

It isn’t much better either. HTG went from a great site publishing tech articles to riddled with paywalls(you will encounter sign in screens if you read multiple articles quickly), Premium options, ad affiliated newsletter links and just constant churning of low quality filler mostly.

Well, Vivaldi’s built-in in adblock apparently agrees with this categorization. The video shows up if I disable it. Lol

I got an Xperia 5 IV very recently when my Galaxy S7 died. Been happy with it. Smallest phone I could find with an SD card slot, and while it’s still larger than my old phone, the screen is the same width, just taller. Overpriced? Probably a bit. In the end though, I like it.

I upgraded from an S7 in the past year… I ended up going with a Samsung XCover 6 Pro since Sony doesn’t sell their flagship phones in Canada…

Why People Arent Buying Sony Xperia Phones

because they are fucking expensive

And they have a remote control like shape factor

I’m gonna be real, I thought Sony stopped making these 5 years ago. Probably because I haven’t looked into buying a phone since that long ago

They used to do great phones though. The Xperia Play (and its slimmer Arc cousin) and the Walkman feature phone are still personal favorites of mine.

I was planning on getting an Xperia 1 VI.

Gonna flash LineageOS on it.

EddoWagt ,

I have the 1 VI, it’s great. No lineage available yet, might take a while

Spider89 ,

Is it bootloader unlockable?

If it is, try checking treble compatibilty.

If passed, Lineage may be supported.

I loved my Xperia XA2, but when the next android update came down the pipe I literally lost features.

Does Sony still make phones ? … The last time I saw someone using a Sony phone was probably 8 years ago

Strider ,

I miss my Xperia Play, that thing was the bee’s knees.

Pixel OS. It’s the best out of the box experience for most users.

SolarMonkey ,

I used to have an Xperia pro, the one with the physical keyboard. It was my last keyboard phone. I absolutely loved it.

Flashed a different OS, cyanogenmod I believe, which broke the governor chip (irreparable; known issue but super buried, would have done the same with any OS of that version number, including stock) so it would read as a dead battery if not on the charger.

Never touched Sony phones again. Don’t trust them at all.
