I currently have a Motorola Edge phone. It replaced an LG Velvet from about 2019. Before that was an Xperia. I love having options, and I derive some pleasure in avoiding Apple, Samsung and Google phones.
Whether Xperia is still all that relevant or not is another thing. But the one I had was good for a few years.
Love my 1 V, problem is finding parts. I got it for cheap with a cracked screen with the plan to swap it to a silver frame+screen but the 2 places I found where it was in stock cancelled my order saying they actually didn't have silver...
Love the phone though, so glad to have my sdcard slot & headphone jack back. Running lineageOS with microG.

I liked my Z ultra (to the point that I developed ROMs on XDA for the togari line) before I got a job that supplied me with an iFone.
If I had to go back to buying phones again I'd look at Sony again

Haven't had an Xperia for a while, but I always really liked them.
It feels strange that the Xperia 5 V hasn't had a successor yet.

I bought one as the VIs were coming out because it still fit better for my needs than the newer hardware. Long live my 5V.

Loved my Xperia 1 VI but it needed hw upgrades pretty badly for the price
