“Why don’t we sell more phones?”
Puts out a phone at 200% the cost per specs, ignores the biggest high end market and blows their marketing money 18 months early on every single release.
The couldn’t do this worse if they tried.
If feels like 200$ too expensive more than anything else.
Also removed themselves as the only player in the “compact” phone segment
I was a sony compact model user only for many years. Now, the smallest possible phone you can buy is samsung galaxy
Why not the Asus Zenfone series? They’re pretty compact.
Same size as the galaxy.
Yea, for the price of the 256GB 5 V, I can get a Samsung Galaxy Fold 5 256GB, and possibly even save a few bucks in the process.
Is this Sony really named Xperia 5 “5”?
I think we are supposed to pronounce it Xperia 5 mark 5
This Ain’t even the worst name Sony has ever given to a product.
I live going to the store to buy the new Sony WH1000XM5s, the name just rolls off the tongue.
yes
It’s supposed to be pronounced Xperia 5 “Mark 5”, but for some reason they didn’t use the actual universally agreed notation for “mark” of either “mk V” or straight up “mark V”.
I really want an Xperia. I’m just too cheap to buy one.
I’d pay a small premium for its no-nonsense design. They are perhaps the only company still bucking the trend of removing features (headphone jack, SD slot) and cutting out parts of the screen. But the premium is just too high, particularly with lackluster software support.
I used to love my Sony phones, then they stopped selling them in Australia and probably alot of other places, and are probably getting think tanks together wondering why they’re not selling.
I mean Sony probably knows why they didn’t sell well in Australia. Hell the 5v isn’t even coming to the American market.
Unless you’re in the US, then you don’t get a choice.
I was actually seriously considering this as my next phone… Ugh
As someone in Canada with a 1 IV (global). I hate how this is the perfect phone crippled by the partly incompatible Canadian network.
I want my jack and expendable storage dang it!
Zenfone 10 is still an option
Nah, the 5V’s camera and sd card slot are big selling points for me
Sony really went: no Xperia for you.
