Another phone that is insanely expensive vs the competition. No innovation just a copy and paste job of an older phone to confuse the buyers.

A manufacturer that provides the industry with camera sensors has a poor DXO rating and over processes their images.

Sony still playing catchup but being left behind.

    "The not so great bit is that the 5 didn't manage to build on the 1's decent but uninspiring performance with headphones. Some intermodulation distortion crept in, the stereo crosstalk rose more than average and the volume went down to below average too. Good enough for most people overall, but not great for a flagship."

    This explains why 3.5mm jack is SUPERIOR compared to USB-C to 3.5mm dongle. Come on Sony, for that price, there is more than enough space for the 3.5mm jack!!

Currently I'm using Xperia 1 and love it. Very smooth with high quality build quality, the screen is so good..

        Even though i don't use Sony phones anymore, i'm still sad to see them stubbornly launching phones that don't meet their fans expectations.

            Does not matter the resolution apps run, you still have 4x more pixels being used.

              VectorR, 19 Sep 2019There is a logical explanation for this. Sony don't want Xperia phones compete with their own ... moreCellphones cannot compete against cameras.
              Photo from a compact RX100 are 20x better than any cellphone.

                  Clarification from Sony regarding image sensor: It does not have 960fps but it does indeed have predictive capture.

                  To do so sensor must be stacked but it has less overall buffer memory.

                    To those who said that the average endurance is great but it WOULD'VE been better if they increase more mah, stop. Increasing the battery means hundreds of millions of yen are wasted because of battery mooks like you. Less is more guys. Less is more.

                      The f1.6 on 1/2.6" is like f10 on FF.
                      It cannot blur background physically.

                              By the way how do you measure compactness GSMA?

                              For me compactness simply means the width.. The mi9se with 70.7mm width can't replace this phone at 68mm width regardless of the elongated 21:9 ratio..
