Maybe stop charging twelve hundred dollars for a fucking phone.

1 grand max for a flagship is the sweet spot rn imo.
As someone who hasn’t paid more than 500€ for a phone I can only laugh at this. 1000 is still outrageous.

Exactly! I’m mostly hoping for a better camera, but I’m always interested in any new health features. I don’t upgrade watches bpvery often, but if they do deliver blood pressure sensors, I’m in.
Admittedly my primary reason for upgrading phones this year is my kids. We’ve gotten into the habit of giving them our old phones (with new batteries) so we’re all relatively current but we only need to buy two new ones at a time and I’m not as upset if they break an older one. However Apple is dropping support for my kids’ current phones, plus the kids have been dropping the phones left and right, so it’s time. They’ll get phones that are still supported with updates and that have no physical damage yet, and I’ll get new and shiny
Paid £500 for an S22U on FB marketplace and couldn’t be happier

The Xperia 5 V can’t come fast enough. My current phone is falling apart and I want to support Sony.
I desperately want a Sony but there are so few carriers that offer them that I have to finance them the old fashioned way, or buy them used, which is hard since there are so few of them available that one may pop up every few months. Ever since LG dropped their phone division, there are zero options for phones at any carrier in my area besides the big 3. LG was the only company fighting the software “cloud” subscription phones, with real hardware that people like me want and need, that was available to finance with a contract (which in my area is a big deal. The service area here is still horrible no matter who you choose, of which we have maybe 4 SP’s)
Either way, Sony needs to simplify their naming scheme. It doesn’t matter much for people like me that will always research phone purchases, but even then, it’s confusing. Looking up Xperias that are solely pro models that don’t relate to their 1 and 5 models only to see they are for some reason cheaper will confuse a majority of buyers, especially when they seem at a glance to be nearly identical and both being sold on their company site. The lineage of their offerings is just convoluted and they could do away with all of the nonsense if they used letters for the naming of their devices and left the numbers for their iterations rather than the opposite, and then left their pro series phones to be just that. Looking up Sonys phones nearly requires a history lesson.
I agree their naming is too confusing, it’s like they’re intentionally trying to limit themselves. When I started searching for phones I was definitely confused and I only understood their naming on day 2.
