Leaked= new word for advertised

Sony is the only phone maker without those ugly notches and intruding punch holes. If only their phones were accessible. From where I am, you can't buy them.
- Oof I feel you

Sony phones>every other phones makers, hypocritically I use a Pixel because I can't buy Sony phones where I lived
- Except that they give only half or less of the software support of other manufacturers.. I have a Sony 5ii. 2 years after release on the dot, not a single security update after.
- same here. i get pixel because they can be rooted

Overall this seems like a great qol improvement. A better display, better software support and an overhauled camera experience.
- I think this will finally be the phone I swap off of the pixel ...
  
  I just hope Sony doesn't fuck it up.
- Better software support? How long is it now?
  
  Supposedly 5 years due to the eu

3.5mm audio output?
- Yes
  
  Oh fuck yeah! I was just meming. Is it gonna be rootable?

Last year I needed a new phone. The Xperia V (I think) just got released and seemed perfect... But in the end I decided against it because of their horrendous update roadmap and large phone sizes. I'm not going to buy a new phone every three years and I hate phones that can't be used with one hand - and despite doing a lot of things right, those two points are just not addressed by Sony. I want their compact range back and I want Fairphone levels of updates.
- There was the Sony Xperia 5 series which is smaller than the 1
  
  Yeah. That's the one I considered more deeply. Still too big. Still only 3 years of promised security updates and only two major revisions of android. Nah, hard pass.
  /edit just saw that I mixed up the Roman and Latin numbers in my previous post. Yeah, the 5 is what I meant by 5.

I'd wish I was filthy rich to get one.

I'll probably be snagging this one at some point
- Good luck with that. I hope I can get one as well
  
  It'll bankrupt me, but Sony phones are chef kiss

Thanks for sharing !

do these work well in usa?
- Yes they usually have an American model for sale
  
  do all the US antenna bands work? last i checked they don't.

if this was Google Pixel with stock Android and rootable this would be the most perfect phone
- I mean Sony uses an even more stock version of android that Google doesn't even use.
  
  is it root able?
