I’m ok with the 4k display dying especially after the android 14 update breaking it on the 1v. But I’m not that happy about the 21by9 turning to 19.5 by 9

    Sony will be a niche phone no matter what. Dropping 4k and 21:9 won’t increase the customer base.

    Price drops, better OS support and selling in more markets might help.

    I have the Xperia 10iii and love the 21:9 and design. It’s also very fast and with Nova Launcher 8 it’s very fluid.

    The cameras are good but not as great as I’d hoped considering they typically position themselves as photographers phones. That seems to be reserved for the expensive phones.

    Given that they make the lenses they have a chance to position themselves as phones with great cameras when at the budget and mid level and that might generate sales.

    The big problem with the budget and mid range is poor cameras. The 2a is trying to change that but e what’s needed is Samsung s series level photography but at budget and mid market prices.

    People really want that but keep being disappointed. Only Samsung A34/A55 kind of gives a decent experience but better is needed.

    I feel like Sony could do well there if it manages to get S series/iPhone quality photos on those prices.
