That's a Pros in my point of view ! Because we already have a lot of charger/cable in are house usually.

Add the update policy to the cons. 2 major versions and 3 years of security updates is just bad, especially for a device of this price range

Why the hell would they ditch the telephoto lens? It's not the best of the three on my Xperia 5 II, but WTF are you doing Sony ?

[–] WhoRoger@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Wasn't the 5 series supposed to be mid range, and the 1 and 3 series be high-end?

Is one grand midrange today? Wtf.

[–] magiccupcake@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

The 5 series was never midrange. Its like the 1 series, but smaller.

The 5 ii was the same as the 1ii, just with a smaller size and no wireless charging.

All Sony phones are overpriced by about 20% when you compare them feature-wise. You pay for the unique combination of features and form factor.
