Lmao oof. I don't blame you, this phone's release has been so long and sloppy in NA.My phone shipment got delayed again! I called BB and they have more demand for the Purple variant than what they have in stock! I have to wait for second wave of shipment! Might as well wait for IFA!
No, I bought one to go with my phone however it's not a V30 so I'm debating just putting it in my switch instead. A V30 would be needed for 4K vid recording I thinkDoes this come with a Micro SD card? Amazon has them on sale right now.
After looking it up, V30 apparently has faster write speed. Maybe it is worth the additional 40 dollars.No, I bought one to go with my phone however it's not a V30 so I'm debating just putting it in my switch instead. A V30 would be needed for 4K vid recording I think
HTC is barely in business. And as far as I know, they haven't updated the U12+ in some time.I'm debating between spending $1300 on this, or spending $900 on a HTC U12+. 🤔 Both have some cool shit.
I have no idea tbh. I should look into that as well. I'm in the same boat as you.So I've learnt it's not officially for sale in Canada...how does this work for warranty? I just don't get one? Or I'd have to ship it back to country of origin in order to use it?
I also wanna add that I regret getting a flip cover case. Go for a standard case + screen protector instead if you are deciding what case to get
The official Sony one. It's cumbersome when trying to shoot photos/video as it's just dangling under(can't fold it over like I do when I'm using the phone in landscape mode for anything else). Also trying to enter inputs through the cover's touch capacitive screen is really hit or miss in terms of registering inputs
I could use a new phone this year, and this thing makes me want to switch from Apple. However, I'll get ~$700 Canadian from Orchard for my current 256GB X. Do Sony's phones hold that kind of resale value? At this point, that's just about the only thing keeping me from switching. I love iOS, but Apple's hardware is fucking stale, especially compared to a phone like this, or the new OnePlus.
No not at all. Well any Android phone except for Samsungs which don't fall that much as other Android phones.
Headphones arrived. They are super comfy and nice. I also picked up a Spigen case and it really makes the Xperia 1 easier to hold and the buttons easier to push. I dont have a screen protector yet. What do you all recommend?

Phone came in and I put it through a bunch of testing yesterday
Too complicated for me. I just had my local cell phone shop apply a liquid glass solution to mine.
I haven't had that issue. I"m only bothered by the case when trying to take photos at this pointI received my phone today, happy with it so far! love the screen but its dimmer than my XZ3! I tried the Style Cover touch case, its not bad but I have one issue with it! I got black spots on the cover and looks like its fused inside the silicon clear cover! Do you have that problem with yours? When I close the case and use it looks like black dead pixels on the screen (very annoying!)
Does anyone know when Android 10 will become available on the X1?
Most likely end of Sept or Oct. The new Xperia (Xperia 5) will be announced by tomorrow it will most likely be shipped with Android 10 in Oct
I sent in my Xperia XZ2 for repair, and they lost it somewhere in their sorting process. Now they gave me 799 euros to buy a new phone. Honestly, I've been looking forward to the Xperia 2, because supposedly it has wireless charging, which I loved. But unfortunately it wasn't announced at IFA.
Now my question is, when do you think it will release?
Or would I be better off with pre-ordering a Xperia 5 (which is 799 and comes with those incredible wireless earphones, which I wanted)?
Now, I know the Xperia 2 will also be more expensive than 799, but if the wait isn't that long, I might just pass on the Xperia 5.
So, this is Sony's latest voice recorder which has a bunch of good reviews.
I want to use the Xperia to record video (school stuff) and put this on myself (with clippy microphone) to record the audio. I believe that is the correct way to make sure that the audio is clearly heard, while the Xperia should record good quality video. I think I will have to edit the sound and video file together afterward. I have not done this before, but am I on the right track so far?
Got a notification for new system update - is this the latest version of Android? Android 10?
Just had 55.0.A.10.26 software update installed - does anyone know what this does and is it Android 10?
As my first smart phone, this has been good. Although, I worry about the battery. I like being able to read manga and novels with the Kindle App, but I worry that using it too much is going to kill the battery. I want this phone to last at least 4-5 years, but I have a feeling the battery wont hold a charge past 2 years. Is battery replacement pretty simple?
Also, the headphones that came with the deal are amazing.
Sony unfortunately has no plans for releasing new phones in Australia. I imported mine...
