Bogdan, 21 May 2020I bought a Redmi Note 8 Pro (global version) with 230EUR. Guess how much ram it has?
And don'... morenah dude, every piece of hardware in chinese phones is worse than in "big" brands,
having more ram or more storage or "higher-number" CPU, doesn't mean anything even the battery,
I had a xperia XA I paid 199€ in 2016, today I have bought a redmi note 8 for my mother.
check the specs, the Xperia still works better today, storage is faster, ram management is better, battery life worse but not "almost twice" worse (4000mah vs 2300mah)
even the screen looks as good as the xiaomi and it's 720p.
when you use these chinese phones you can feel that they lag behind in every corner the I've never had a phone giving me an experience as good as sony, except maybe a pixel phone or iphone, these might eventually come close but sony brings everything I need to the table and makes it good, their design is beautiful, build quality, no ugly notch etc. awesome !

And I will continue bashing and bashing and bashing those companies and their overpriced gadgets indefinitely or until they will change their policy. Or come out with models that are competitive price wise.
Sony is on my blacklist, the same as Apple, Sony probably even more than Apple. At least Apple has an ecosystem, Sony has the same lagdroid like everybody else, but wants people to think they are some kind of better company when it comes to producing phones. And I am looking at Sony phones in the last 3-4 years (especially the low end and mid range models). And year after year they are doing the same thing, sell this overpriced phones, which have nothing, absolutely nothing, that will make them 30% or even 50% higher priced than the competition.

That's still probably better than buying a chinabrand phone but yeah you pretty much made my point. There's not a lot of good mainstream phones for a good price with more than 4GB ram. People need to chill out on that.
Again I'm not defending the manufacturers for only putting 4GB on just for market segmentation purposes, but it is what it is right now. Either live with the 4GB and get an otherwise good phone, or get something like the A20e or a china phone (which AGAIN is fine if that's what matters most, but keep the "what year is it" to yourself)

superpup, 21 May 2020Such as?Samsung A20e. Had this phone for about 8 months. Not a great phone, but it has fast charging and usb type C. Paid 180EUR for it. Now you can find it at even lower price. New that is, not refurbished or second hand.
Other examples could be Samsung A30s or A40 (this two are a bit more "expensive" now at 200 EUR, but have OLED screens).

And don'... moreI get that people are OK with buying crap Chinese phones with poor optimization, no support, spyware software, spyware hardware, garbageware, zero durability, etc, in order to get extra RAM. That's great, it's just personal preference. Get the faster CPU and RAM and enjoy the phone for a few months before it slows down and becomes useless. Or install custom ROM on it and play around getting the most use out of the higher specs possible, that's fine.
But to say it's this huge deal for a midrange $300 mainstream brand phone to have 4GB of ram "in 2020" is just stupid.
I agree it's kind of crappy to have just 4GB of ram, and it's probably only like that for market segmentation, which sucks too. But it's the norm right now. Don't act like it isn't just because it's possible to buy chinese phones with more ram. You can do that, other people will just get a 4GB phone in their budget.

Anonymous, 20 May 2020lmao yes, because you would use the ENTIRE 4gb of RAM to begin with.
At least it has a USB-C ... moreWhat year are you living in?
You can find phones at around 200EUR with usb type c port and fast charging. And I am not necessarily talking about Chinese brands.

Anasios, 21 May 2020Which one would be better, Xperia 10 II, google's 4a or Galaxy A41? Is like asking somebody, what should I buy, BMW, Audi or Mercedes?
Any people can tell you something different.
Some Sony fanboy will tell you go with Sony, other Samsung fanboy will tell you go with Samsung.
I will tell you, go with the one who will give you the most things at the best price.
Even better, consider other options too. I don't know how are the prices in your country, but for example, in my country the Sony Xperia 10 II will cost almost as much as an unsealed Realme X2 Pro. It is a no brainer, which option I will take.

And don't come to me with that " Ohh, it is Chinese phone, they are spying on you, it has bloatware," etc..
I had both a S9+ and iphone 8 plus in the past (which cost me 750EUR each). This Redmi is not far behind them when it comes to performance and day to day usage and when you take into consideration the price, is best deal.
When the prices of flagship phones are increasing year after year, including old timers like One Plus, the only way to go is mid-range devices. And for few compromises, you can have an almost flagship experience.
People just need to care more about their wallets instead of their status and image.

To the people complaining about "4GB in 2020 lol", what phone under $350 made in the last year has more than 4GB? Samsung A51? 6GB model is $100 more. M31 6GB is there if you import, but you give up the unique size format, waterproof, sound quality, design, etc.
Nokia 7.2 has a 6GB version, but again that one costs $100 more
AFAIK there aren't many (if any) phones that will offer more than 4GB of RAM for $350 or less, unless it's a chinabrand phone filled with spyware and bad after care service...
Sony did well designing the Xperia 5, and this puts it in a whole new budget range, only seeming to give up some performance.

Comparable smartphones with near-similar spec don't have IP68 or hi-res audio. Heck, some don't even have OLED screen or even a native telephoto camera. This particular Xperia rings a similar bell to the OnePlus 8 Pro, you can see where the extra money was spent on features that matter most.
