Guess Iโm the only one with a Sony Xperia phone.
Got a 1 iii, love the display and candy bar shape, tiny bezels and headphone jack with expandable storage.
Dislike the limited brightness range outdoors on sunny days, and how the battery dies after four hours of heavy use, lol. (Though I do multitask it hard, so itโs understandable)
I'm just waiting for the shipment email for my Xperia 1 V.
For me it's the rectangular front display, no notches, no hole punches, no nonsense. Just some small bezels which also house front facing speakers. Everyone has gotten so acclimatized to "bezel-less" displays for the sake of not just being last years model that you lost stereo speakers, and added a literal black mark to accompany lost display area.
Then you throw in a 3.5mm audio jack AND expandable storage
I'm in the camp that you don't need to refresh a design over and over again, especially "just for the sake of it."
PS: I'm not particularly happy to pay the price I did for the phone which has, in my mind, basic features. However, the other option is to pay for a phone with less capabilities than my current phone.
I would actually love a Sony, since Hardware and feature wise they seem great. Good form factor, SD card and headphone jack.
But the high price and especially the short software support just turn me off.
