      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.

        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.
