And be out of support after 2 years? No thank you. Xperia is overpriced and Sony dropping its expensive phones from support left and right. After 10+ years with Android vendors should've put in the work to support their handsets in a streamlined fashion at least with security/OS core level updates relatively effortlessly. They didn't, Sony sure didn't. Apple is the only vendor with decent support, sadly.
All the current Xperia phones (even the "compact") are much larger than the 5/SE form factor unfortunately.
The cost of switching ecosystems is too high for most of us. Loss of iMessage alone is a non starter for me personally.
Me too. iMessage is the one and only reason why I switched to an iPhone. My family demanded it, because the picture/video quality in our group chats was degraded for everyone because one group chat member (me) had an Android.
I got an SE. And now I'm seriously glancing at this new SE. Size is fine for me.
I'm only halfway joking since looking at their newest handset is still fairly reminiscent with the flat edges: https://www.sony.com/electronics/smartphones/xperia-1m2?cpin...
