wow SONY > all

Cannot fight samsung one la

cater for smol size market oni

not gonna buy any SONY phone ever again. Z2 is the last.

sony is macam apple in android phone except it dont do anything that apple and other android phone do.

xperia phone very quality build punya, the only problem is lack of support
pretty much no firmware update from sony after 1 year

Japan makes a lot of good tech

For some reason phone is not one of it

Lol. Own jepunis ppl also didn't support, they rather invest in ipong.

i don't understand their pricing strategy, they used to be a really good mainstream phone then all of a sudden become kayangan level pricing

I support 100%

Don't buy China made phone. Lousy!

Too expensive, too niche

got a Xperia Z, Z5premium, Tablet Z Tablet Z2

but alas, sony name good, looks great for its time, but, camera (then) is soso, and heats alot

changed to 1+7pro since its launch, and still using it
change battery 3x, but the phone soldier on flawlessly

Software and camera software sucks. Good hardware only.

How to update if 99.99% perfect?

You onboarded the wrong time. That's the issue with Snapdragon 810.
The camera issue was from their stupid extra processing on top of the JPG. They worked with Qualcomm since the reboot of Xperia 1 and it has been good. It is now the proper one with RAW.

Nah, they give update at least 2 years. I have been using theirs from the very early Xperia Ray.
My 5V is still getting updates every month or two after 1 year.

Consider the OS as AOSP with several hardcode Sony apps on top that only satisfies power user. Other than that, it is close to no fancy customization unlike before the reboot time. Minimalists/focus group will like it though.

The price... yeah is cut throat. Only worth when they are bundling with WF/WH headphones or during heavy sales.

Make
Sony
Great
Again

not sure now
but back then their sony camera is one of the best
and they refuses to put that tech in the smart phones, cause the higher uppers dun want the smart phones "cannibalizing" the dslr market

shame really

never got a good photos with that era of camera

with the 1+7pro
cincai pun can get somewhat acceptable

Sony should Bribe Apple to let it license ios on their phones. Confirm revive fortunes

still alive, how many sold globally?

Already decent these days. They got Alpha team to step in since the reboot and the camera UI/control/functionality is identical to the latest Alpha+FX line. The crazy continuous tracking AF, 30FPS, eye AF, creative look, lowlight stacking, 4K 120, S-Cinetone, auto framing are all included. They also got exclusive access for a year on the latest camera sensor from semiconductor department.

The image output is pretty much identical to my Alpha / RX in terms of color science.

And making money according to past financial report. Guess their profit margin is high as apple.
