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!

How's that camera?

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.

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

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.

I need that wallpaper! What a fantastic pic!

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.

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.

Definitely, I'm lucky that I live by a major metro and have had 0 issues with 5g coverage so far. I'm hoping that anywhere else I go I either won't need 5g or will be able to use wifi

Band 14 in the US is reserved for First Responders via First Net aka AT&T, and when the other bands get overloaded then it's given use to regular consumers - if they have band 14. From my understanding. Because there aren't many phones that have 14 on them sold outside of AT&T from what I find, unless band 14 access is a software adjustment, but that I don't know.

I honestly didn't know there were different variations of Xperia, I bought mine through the Sony Website.

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
Severalkittens@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
The smart people over at XDA are already working on it!

Awesome to see that Sony development is still kicking <3

So Sony started making smartphones again?
