For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up
You're viewing a single thread.
A lot of what I'm seeing here is included on my Sony Xperia.
Headphone jack, notification light, SD card.
I do miss having a replaceable battery like my older LG phones had and stereo fromt-firing speakers like my HTC One M8.
Replaceable battery is gonna be mandatory for phones in the future so that's good.
I love the Sony phones. If they sold the Xperia 5 V in my market (or even if the global version was compatible with my carrier's G5 bands . . . ) I would probably buy it in a second. They seem to be deliberately betting on only releasing the 1 V in some wealthier markets though (likely because the 5 V would undercut demand) -- but I refuse to spend 1 V prices with only a couple years of guaranteed updates.
Sony phones though are by far my favourite on the market these days, and it's a shame that they aren't more popular (or have enough developer interest to have LineageOS support).
This is why I still buy Sony. If they don't change this, plus add replaceable batteries, which they have to... most is good.
Still miss FM radio, though.
And double tap to wake.
