I personally don’t have much experience with Sony Ericsson phones. To me, all Sony electronics (outside of the PlayStations) are always just good, but also always at a price premium, and there is usually better value to be found with another brand. (I will concede that many of their recent products, however, actually feels like they are the best in class again.)
Sony phones are no exception to the rule. I’ve only seen one Sony phone out in the wild (outside of the Persona 5 anime, where apparently every phone is made by Sony). It was good, had everything I wanted on a phone, but nothing really stands out about it outside of its small size. You would think the company that supplies everyone’s camera sensors and makes the best mirrorless camera would, by logic, have the best camera phones as well, but again, nothing about them really stands out.
In conclusion, always good, never exceptional.
Also, last 2 cents, I just can’t take the name “Xperia One II” seriously.
I do! 🙂 They’re amazing value for money. I usually buy them one year late and they’re super cheap (about 200-250€). Not sure what you think is wrong with them? They have debloated ROMs, OLED HD screens, 5G, dual-sim, IP65/IP68, 128GB, 6GB RAM, good cameras (wide/normal/tele), amazing battery optimization…
Thats cool, but when you get them one year late at a massive discount I doubt they make a profit on them. But good for you, for sure!
Ah I get it now, yeah, I personally wouldn’t pay 450€ for them like they ask when they’re new. But there’s probably a decent amount of customers who do, those features for 400-ish is not a bad proposition. Even I would pay 400 if I had to, I don’t really need the perks they put on the Xperia 5 and 1.
The lack of high refresh rate displays on the 10 series always stood out to me, when most of its competitors have 90Hz at worst
