So I finally got my preorder of the EU version and activated it without needing support by using the esim transfer on my old pixel. After close to a week now I've had 0 issues!

Honestly that's pretty good. But I'm assuming lemmy compressed it as well.

Ah probably. The auto mode is pretty good, the photos look more natural than my pixel or the wife's galaxy, but it's also harder to just point and click to get a good photo every time.

Same sentiment, if other flagships puke everything in high saturation and do all this ai modification it doesn't feel like a sincere genuine photo anymore.

tbf Sony always tried to put hobbyist features in their camera phones. But you're right the color accuracy is impeccable. I kinda miss my ZX1 now

That page requires a login or something to download full quality. I'm not really trying to sign up for a Japanese website. Thanks anyhow.

I don't think there is a difference between the US & International Version, just maybe the Bands it covers. But the Sony Xperia is a SOLID phone.

[โ€“] Severalkittens@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Someone on the subreddit did a full band comparison. it seems like the hk variant is best for US customers this time around? I have really been loving it so far tho. Feels more premium than my p6 pro I upgraded from.

Also, don't forget to fold your laundry

And the expense reports are a must

I've been putting those off...

Just to add on, I am using an Xperia 5V on tmo us with no issues either.

I'd love to slap LineageOS on a modern sony

Loved their devices back then, especially because they offer an extended range of updates specifically for developing on-top of AOSP, even including (Major) Kernel Updates

That on a modern device? Count me in

So Sony started making smartphones again?
