The hardware of Sony phones has been so attractive over the years. I had the Z3 & XZ1 years ago and they were great.
However, the software is lacking. They don’t commit to long term OS/security updates.
The price is also far too high for just a slab.
This means that there are no ROMs that support recent flagship Sony devices.
Honestly they don’t have to lower the price. If they just opened up the software I would make the jump.
I’m holding onto the OnePlus 7 Pro for dear life because newer devices feel like such a compromise; great hardware and software is locked down to hinder ROM development or great ROM support and weak hardware.
I believe you can use any GSI ROM as long as it matches the underlying Android version?
Right, but Sony doesn’t unlock their bootloader (on US devices) anymore.
Honestly they don’t have to lower the price. If they just opened up the software I would make the jump.
Sony already does this and doesn’t do the stupid camera drm anymore now.
Am I missing something? In the US I can’t buy the 1V and get the bootloader unlocked by Sony. Or did that change?
It’s more that it’s a recent change to not allow it on US models. I think only the iv and v don’t allow it.
