AnonD-521587, 11 May 2017why not have the starting point cheaper so more people can buy it from the get-go. Production stock. If a phone with excellent specs would be priced at a very reasonable tag, then people would get attracted easily and buy them, then the stock would run out quickly
Make that 120$ and I'll get one for my mom
Don't buy any phone with only 16gb ROM unless you don't use data storage hogger apps like facebook. Those apps uses lots of device storage and can can't utilize SD card at all.
cheaper than i expected from a asony product well haters still gotta hate.

Still waiting for the true successor to the Z3 Compact. High-end CPU, long battery life, water proofing and 4K recording in a compact body. I'm waiting, Sony, and so are many other Z3C owners.
Moto G5 destroys this in every way except design. But you get bored of the design fast anyway.
XZ1 and XZ1 Compact at IFA 2017.
SD835 + Motion Eye
XZ1 Premium .... MWC 2018 with better cpu
Nick Paschalidis, 11 May 2017All Sony phones have a high starting point.But after a few months they tend to drop quite a lot...no that only happens to failed flagships and all of sonys mobiles
Oh no, hell no, this should be priced below $ 100, and with that I don't mean $ 99

As for software, Xiaomi still updates their cheap Redmi phones today to get security updates. I doubt Sony will update this phone beyond its shipping software.

Sony should know that there are batteries available beyond 3000 mA.
Ah Sony. You were doing so well by focusing on higher margin X series phones, now you have to go back competing at the lower end. Seriously, who wants to buy this when the Redmi series from Xiaomi are better (more storage, fingerprint scanner, more battery, etc) for less?
I think Sony is falling into the old trap, the need to create a product for every segment. They forgot that this was one of the reasons they were in the red in the past. You cannot compete in the low end when the Chinese can make much better stuff for a lot less.
Nick Paschalidis, 11 May 2017All Sony phones have a high starting point.But after a few months they tend to drop quite a lot...why not have the starting point cheaper so more people can buy it from the get-go.
Sam Sung, 11 May 2017How does Mediatek compare to Snapdragon and Exynos?In general, Mediatek is worse (power efficiency) than Qualcomm or Exynos... But Helio P20/P25 are quite good.
Nokia 5 smashes this phone on the wall. It should compete with Nokia 3, but at price point is a KO for Sony l1 total knockout. I love Sony but they've stop competing
