    Wow, to see an Xperia phone being used as an example instead of a bloody Samsung.

    Good day to be an Xperia user.

      Xperia is in my opinion the only phone left worth buying. It has all the bells and whistles you expect from a flagship phone + a headphone jack, SD card slot and very good camera.

      I love being able to manually do what ever I want in the camera app and having the camera button is just nice.

      Had the Xperia Z3 back in the day after my beloved Sony Ericson Xperia Play died. Loved both phones. Switched to Samsung for a few years and are now back to Sony (Xperia 1 IV) since 2023. Words can’t describe how happy I am being back. :D

        I love Z3. I still mourn the loss of it to this day.

        However, I must admit that Xperia quality hasn’t been the greatest in the recent years, with the light lines issue plaguing the 5 series from mk II onwards, and now the 1 VI has similar issues too.

          What do you mean with “light lines issue”? I haven’t had any major problems with my Xperia so far. Sometimes it reboots after being on for a few months, but that’s about it.

            This one. My 5 mk II is completely unusable due to this. It’s a well documented issue on the Xperia sub on reddit.

              Oh wow that sucks. :( Haven’t seen that yet, but damn shame that it is common issue.

              Does it appear after some time, or mostly DOA? Does Sony replace the broken devices?

                It appears after some time. And no, Sony doesn’t acknowledge this issue, so you have to pay out of pocket if your warranty is over to replace the phone.
