  • Sony Phones… by the way, I think big part of development still is in Sweden (can someone corroborate?). can be saved… Sony has this evil nature with overreaching copyright protections but Sony Xperias has been remarkable independent on Sony’s appalling reputation.

    Most point on the overprice problem… true. For what we get, outstanding optics (but many have them too now), a headphone jack and the best fingerprint sensor placement won’t cut it anymore. For that is overpriced!

    Now, Xperias, do this (and wont require any more $$$):

    1. Let Sony Xperias offer more support for open is phones to alternative OS (GrapheneOS, /e/, SailfishOS and the like) than just opening its bootloader. Best yet, partner with one of them!!
    2. Stay in the 6in format… or better yet, 5.6-5.8in. There is a silent outcry for smaller phones for years! Don’t fall for what trials testimonies people say, let that to Samsung. Go with your guts!
    3. Maintain the jack, microSD, NFC, notification LED, no notch, side fingerprint scanner and angled format.

    Millions won’t mind to pay a premium for that, now, truly distinguished, phone that one can feel proud owning it and… well displaying it out there too.

    Proud owner of 5 Xperias since Nokia’s 808 but, since 2022 with 2 Pixels with GrapheneOS whose hardware I hate to death but with no viable alternative left.
