    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 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.

    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.

    of course they are, Sony as any other company nowadays needs user data to train its own AI models and smartphones are an infinity source of data
