Sony could do wonders with these phones, if only they would market them properly. And yet…
You mean, price them properly. What Sony wants for the 5 V is Galaxy S23 Ultra territory.
Edit: Just checked the prices in my territory, I can get the S23 Ultra with change to spare, like, I can get a cheap tablet with the leftover.
Premium pricing proved to be profitable for Sony’s mobile division especially with the fierce competition in the market. I hope they would at least extend software support to support the inflated price as other companies are offering 4-5 years of updates at this point.
They aren’t really very special phones. Pretty average tbh with a below average flash light (it’s basically useless) and terrible fingerprint reader. I only got an xperia because it doesn’t have a punch-hole or notch.
Not sure why you’re being down voted tbh. I had a chance to fiddle around with the 1 IV when Sony sent me the wrong phone by mistake with my online store order.
I have no idea why they are priced as high as they are either. I was not impressed by it at all.
I guess some people don’t want to hear the truth after spending so much money on one of these.
I use my smartphone only as a flashlight, so that’s good information to have.
MKBHD’s yearly video lamenting Xperia Phones are my only reminder that Sony still makes phones.
My first smartphone was an Xperia, so I still have a soft spot for them. But it’s unlikely for them thrive in this market with cutthroat margins.
