Narrow width makes this phone easy to hold and tall display provides more content. Other phones (16:9 or 18:9) with similar sized display have more than 7cm width, making them effectively tablets and difficult to hold in single hand.

Bimbom, 06 Nov 201942:9 is much much better for more multitasks. You can watch two 21:9 movies at the same time.I have no problem calling a troll out when I see one. You are a troll. Within 1-2 years more brands will follow the suit. Having multiple documents open and/or email at the same time is great for productivity.

When and why and who need that ??It never stops to amaze me how many people come to this thread making ridiculous comments about the phone they never experienced. Many professional programmers (including myself) use an external monitor 21:9 format connected to laptop. This format is great for multitasking and productivity. Same idea behind this phone.

Sapphire Blue, 05 Nov 2019The best aspect ratio is 16 plus 21 and then divide by 2 equal to 18.5: 9Your statement is truly scientific. Now I know how to choose the best shoes size.

Me, 04 Nov 2019can't find this "built-in" functionality in Settings. Plenty of apps can do it though.Thanks, on my older Sony phones, you just hold power button and it show screenshot, screen recording, shut off, restart. That way I don't need download an app.

Past Sony owner , 02 Nov 2019Sony does not make phone's. If you do purchase a Sony phone don't expect it to last as a funct... moreWhat do you even mean? Like, they don't build them on their own or what?
If that's your point, neither does Apple, for example.
I really don't get your point. Nobody builds their own phones. BMW doesn't build their own cars as well...
And as far as longevity goes, Sony has been nothing less than imoressive for me, for the last 15 years. I pass on my older devices to my parents and siblings when I buy a new one. For example, my mother still using a Z3, just changed the battery on it before I gave it to her, phone still performs like new, without a hitch. They are build like tanks and very cleverly engineered internals, I dissasemble a lot of phones, and that is one reason I go Sony, usually very easy to replace parts, and the parts are cheap. Also, they come down in price a lot very quickly, you can find them in as much as half the price, under a year old, even newer, and at that point these phones are price/performance beasts. They are overpriced at release initially, that's true, that's why I don't buy them when released, also I like to wait a bit for the reviews.

Anonymous, 04 Nov 2019You use a third party application anyway. Thanks first, my first 2 sony phones have screen recording built in just like screenshot, and the last 2 sony phones don't have this function built in, so I asked this question.
