Used a Z1 for +7 years so fell in love with Sony phones and made me got a 1ii (I’d think naming them as 1.0, 1.1… could be a much better convention that this stupidity) when it finally had to say goodbye.

Those four ‘cons’ points are exactly the same points people complained about them 4 years ago.

They’re absolutely great, I’d feel miserable with another phone brand - but It’s unbelievable they have done absolutely nothing in this time to assess those points.

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

Thirded one on the xperia line. Previous to this 1ii that it’s being with me for 3 years and a half, I had a Z1 that lasted 7 years with me until fell off my hands and the screen cracked.

That being said, their software support is shit and I ended rooting them and using LineageOS (I even had a MIUI ROM with the Z1 at one point) so that’s something you have to have in mind. LineageOS on the 1ii is good, better battery life than stock but I lost screen mirroring.

I got the 1ii. It’s still rock solid (maybe the battery life is a bit hurt, but everything else is going flawless) but yes, the 2 year software support is simply ridiculous.

I ended installing LineageOS - can’t say it’s better to keep going with Android 11 or going custom ROM for every case, but I don’t regret it.

That ‘it’s still rock solid’ is the main reason my previous phone was a Sony (Z1) and decided to got another one from them - their hardware quality is just superb. Used my Z1 for seven years and it worked great all the time - until shit happened and fate decided I had to get another one.
