Sony’s latest flagship smartphone, the Xperia 1 VI, is set to launch on May 17th. We’ve managed to get exclusive details ahead of the official reveal, and while it appears to be a modest upgrade, there are still exciting updates in store. Camera: Triple Rear Setup The Xperia 1 VI boasts a triple rear camera […]
It looks like the improved tele on the Xperia finally.
Last year I needed a new phone. The Xperia V (I think) just got released and seemed perfect… But in the end I decided against it because of their horrendous update roadmap and large phone sizes. I’m not going to buy a new phone every three years and I hate phones that can’t be used with one hand - and despite doing a lot of things right, those two points are just not addressed by Sony. I want their compact range back and I want Fairphone levels of updates.
Yeah. That’s the one I considered more deeply. Still too big. Still only 3 years of promised security updates and only two major revisions of android. Nah, hard pass.
/edit just saw that I mixed up the Roman and Latin numbers in my previous post. Yeah, the 5 is what I meant by 5.
I changed to the 5 after having the 1 and it fits my hand perfectly as a small phone but I can also appreciate that hand sizes are obviously very subjective
