I currently have a Motorola Edge phone. It replaced an LG Velvet from about 2019. Before that was an Xperia. I love having options, and I derive some pleasure in avoiding Apple, Samsung and Google phones. Whether Xperia is still all that relevant or not is another thing. But the one I had was good for a few years.

I liked my Z ultra (to the point that I developed ROMs on XDA for the togari line) before I got a job that supplied me with an iFone.

If I had to go back to buying phones again I'd look at Sony again

of course they are, Sony as any other company nowadays needs user data to train its own AI models and smartphones are an infinity source of data

Haven't had an Xperia for a while, but I always really liked them.

It feels strange that the Xperia 5 V hasn't had a successor yet.

Loved my Xperia 1 VI but it needed hw upgrades pretty badly for the price

Love my 1 V, problem is finding parts. I got it for cheap with a cracked screen with the plan to swap it to a silver frame+screen but the 2 places I found where it was in stock cancelled my order saying they actually didn't have silver...

Love the phone though, so glad to have my sdcard slot & headphone jack back. Running lineageOS with microG.
