  1. Had the Xperia z1 years ago and it seems Sony haven’t changed when it comes to overheating issues. I would literally stick my phone in the fridge for a few minutes because of how worryingly hot it would get at times.

    Great looking phones, I was a big sucker for how aesthetically pleasing they were. But eventually had enough of how updates would destroy the phone and bloatware.

    Got an LG G5 which lasted me about 10 years although it became my secondary phone when the GPS stopped working after 2 years.

    Now looking for a new phone and Sony’s good looks are tempting me once more, but it seems they haven’t dealt with their key problems after a whole damn decade sooooo fuckem.

  2. A few days ago I bought the predecessor, the 10iii to replace my LG V30. I got it on sale for €350 which made it very good value. The 10iv costs €520 where I live, which is too expensive.

    What I like about the iii is that I get a glass back, a charger in the box, 4k video compared to the iv.

    I only lose out on OIS and a bigger battery. However battery life on this iii is very good. Two days with moderate use and a day and a half with more intensive use.

    My V30 could only manage one day with battery saver on and little to no use. Using it would last a few hours. So this Xperia is a fantastic upgrade.

  3. Going for less that 4 bills and only 169 grams I'm all over this. I love plastic backed phones (rare) since I go caseless. The Mint color is for me.

  4. Most people who will get this will get this for the battery performance 🔋 I'm honestly tempted myself, coming from a Samsung m51, it feels like a brick compared to this.

  5. I like the front camera setting it's on the bezel and not on the screen making the phone screen feel like a hole and not a black dot on the screen and with me for a phone I don't care about the camera and the 60hz I care for performance and screen size and also battery

  6. Sadly these new phones seem to have problems with the headphone jack. Does not know my Sennheiser Epos 660 headset is connected, and does not work with the mic of my in ear monitors. My old Asus Zenfone 6 had no problems with the same headsets none at all. This Xperia was serviced twice, did not fix the problems 🙁 New Xperia 5 did not work any better when tested in the shop 🙁 Just the in ear monitors seem to work with micless cable 🙁 and these are not cheap headsets by any means.

  7. I just found this video and I really love how Sony phones looks, especially this one. They're not following the crowd with ugly camera humps with multiple cameras on the back, the worst one I have seen so far is the new Pixel phones, that ugly rear camera hump is nasty to look at lol Also, no ugly hole punch for front camera and sexy looking body with colors, this is the phone for me. I don't care for no 4K recording and all that nonsense. The photos and videos looked good to me, no need to complain or compare this with other phones lol the only issues is, it's not available in the US but I can still just buy it on eBay and still a little too small for me since I like bigger phones, I wish they would make them bigger but I'm fine with it. 🙂
