My current phone is definitely flagship for the time, ~$850, and I will be holding onto it as long as I can because flagships, with headphone jacks, available in the US, are something that just does not exist anymore, and I'm not spending $1500+ to import the cheapest Xperia only to have it barely work on my cell network.

Oh, Xperia.

Wonderful hardware but f*k Sony with the update policy.

My last Xperia was I Mk 2. Nominally flagship. Great hardware, great spec, I loved the form factor.

It got one major Android update and total of 18 months of security updates since the release.

Like, WTH?

No more Sony for me.
