Sales numbers are direct proof of the product success. Just look at Apple and Samsung (and Huawei) - the most successful smartphone makers in business. And coincidentally they make the best smartphones on the planet right now. People don't follow brands or trends (like blind Sony fans), they just choose the best - iPhones and Galaxies. BMW example is quite bad by the way. They're making quite crappy cars (like the most others European carmakers) for quite a while. I know few people from several autoservices and they all told me the same thing - "most BMW cars last for 5 years without serious break downs if you're lucky. Once it's broken, don't waste your time and money - this piece of rubbish is not repairable. Just buy Japanese made Toyota and forget about car problems".

Something as basic and useful as the aux jack is more essential to me than wireless charging. I don't believe there has been a more useful feature than that which has been killed off by companies in the name of profit. Apple led the way on this front.

BMW sales less than Japan automotive doesn't mean BMW has a bad product. the premium segment is different than common.

Also sales numbers always show who is the real winner and people's choice.
Shanti Dope, 24 Sep 2020LMAO WTF? Is that for real?
Dude that's some serious crap I've heard for years NGL 😂Man well only CPU is bit better and thats not worth 600 more bucks.
battery, Ram etc poco wns charging capabilities as well.
The screen can be a bi better but not worth 600 more bucks.
And IP resistance is completely useless and obsolette thing.
Anonymous, 21 Sep 2020Did you even understand the context in which the comment was made? Goodness, these Sony fans...Same goes back for you, it seems like you didn't even understand a thing at all.
Why tf are you asking for Samsung-exclusive feature and not an EVERYBODY's phone features when comparing those two?
In that case, I should've just asked if the Note 20 has native DualShock 4 controller support or H.S. power control for more efficient charging style.
You're name-calling Sony fans for truthfully speaking facts, but it's basically the haters like you who are the reason why bad habits of these greedy companies are becoming the norm.
FFS can't you just admit that Sony made a BETTER phone than Samsung this time for the same price? Is that really how you want it? You always want to be the BEST in the world?
Well in that case I have nothing to say anymore. I now understand why Samsung is becoming less competent year after year, thanks for that. ☺️

V60 ThinQ and Galaxy Note 20 with FHD+ 60Hz displays against this 5 II with FHD+ 120Hz for the same price, one doesn't even have a jack and uses cheap plastic back for the given price tag ☺️

Besides, I'd rather trade wireless charging for a headphone jack, and the widest 5G coverage for the better-sounding dual front-facing stereo speakers.
I'd trade the 2K screen for properly-working 120Hz display that isn't distracted by any camera cutout.
Surely when companies give us essential features, we're gonna look for things that we don't really need, and when they give us useless features but omit the useful ones, we cry again for them to bring them back. Is this the new generation of "smart people?"
Well, to be fair, there are compromises. No wireless charging, no 5G coverage for US. Still, I want some reviews to say that it's great so I can get one.

-Better, cleaner OS
-Expandable memory
-Two front firing speakers
Xperia 5ii has the same 10 bit color grading like it's bigger brother 1ii. So I think GSMArena should change that in the specs of the phone (change 16M colors to 1B).
900 buks for a worse specced phone than a Poco X3 which costs around 300 thanks no.

GsmArena does everything to promote it, but we all know it is typical garbage from Sony, 900 euros for this phone is definitely a joke.
