Sony confirms the Xperia 5 V is not coming to the US
Don’t be bummed about the Xperia 5 V not coming to the US, there are many other great alternatives

Sony could do wonders with these phones, if only they would market them properly. And yet...
You mean, price them properly. What Sony wants for the 5 V is Galaxy S23 Ultra territory.
Edit: Just checked the prices in my territory, I can get the S23 Ultra with change to spare, like, I can get a cheap tablet with the leftover.
Premium pricing proved to be profitable for Sony's mobile division especially with the fierce competition in the market. I hope they would at least extend software support to support the inflated price as other companies are offering 4-5 years of updates at this point.
Samsung prices are insane.
Sony prices make Samsung prices seem reasonable.
They are all fucked up.
Samsung prices are high in the USA, I agree. Outside of there they can be pretty decent.
They aren't really very special phones. Pretty average tbh with a below average flash light (it's basically useless) and terrible fingerprint reader. I only got an xperia because it doesn't have a punch-hole or notch.
I use my smartphone only as a flashlight, so that's good information to have.
Not sure why you're being down voted tbh. I had a chance to fiddle around with the 1 IV when Sony sent me the wrong phone by mistake with my online store order.
I have no idea why they are priced as high as they are either. I was not impressed by it at all.
I guess some people don't want to hear the truth after spending so much money on one of these.
