Man I remember when they made some of the best phones. Granted this was like a decade, decade and a half ago. My first Android phone was an Xperia that was still Sony Ericsson rather than Sony, and the only really noticeable things it added to AOSP were the launcher (not nearly as bad as TouchWiz at the time) and the display and sound were pretty good for a midrange phone made in the very early 2010s.
