It looks like the improved tele on the Xperia finally.
do these work well in usa?
Yes they usually have an American model for sale
do all the US antenna bands work? last i checked they don’t.
I think so except for certain Uwb radios if I remember correctly.
Last year I needed a new phone. The Xperia V (I think) just got released and seemed perfect… But in the end I decided against it because of their horrendous update roadmap and large phone sizes. I’m not going to buy a new phone every three years and I hate phones that can’t be used with one hand - and despite doing a lot of things right, those two points are just not addressed by Sony. I want their compact range back and I want Fairphone levels of updates.
There was the Sony Xperia 5 series which is smaller than the 1
Yeah. That’s the one I considered more deeply. Still too big. Still only 3 years of promised security updates and only two major revisions of android. Nah, hard pass.
/edit just saw that I mixed up the Roman and Latin numbers in my previous post. Yeah, the 5 is what I meant by 5.
Sony is the only phone maker without those ugly notches and intruding punch holes. If only their phones were accessible. From where I am, you can’t buy them.
Oof I feel you
if this was Google Pixel with stock Android and rootable this would be the most perfect phone
I mean Sony uses an even more stock version of android that Google doesn’t even use.
is it root able?
Yes if you get the global one since the ones that are the Japanese carrier/us model
I’ll probably be snagging this one at some point
Good luck with that. I hope I can get one as well
Overall this seems like a great qol improvement. A better display, better software support and an overhauled camera experience.
I think this will finally be the phone I swap off of the pixel …
I just hope Sony doesn’t fuck it up.
Better software support? How long is it now?
Supposedly 5 years due to the eu
