If you were to go see this in a store and pick it up so you know what the first thing you’d notice is? The 21:9 form factor […] Yet bone of these guys ever mention this.

I can’t recall a video from MKBHD of Mr Mobile etc about an Xperia phone where there wasn’t mention of this unique aspect ratio. Maybe you watch the wrong videos?

This reviewer says the screen is poor because on the extreme angle it colour shifts. That’s pure BS! Until you’ve done some objective scientific tests to determine the display quality, you can’t say it’s poor quality.

Have YOU done “some objective scientific tests to determine the display quality”? Because if not, how can you be so sure this person’s claims are bullshit? At least they have the phone in their hand.

No iPhone clones here. Sony has it’s own design language which no one else has.

Really, no one else has their own design language? Have you seen Pixels? Nothing Phones? ASUS ROG?

You’re missing the point.

  1. I have a Sony in my hands and the display is amazing. And this is a budget model. The 5v should be even better.

  2. Yes they mention the form factor but in passing. It’s actually it’s main freaking feature! So much so they have stuck with this design for years now. It’s obvious important to Sony. The reviewers could take the time to look into this more.

  3. I didn’t say other products don’t have their own design language, but I promise you they are all wider than this phone and styled with the iPhone in mind in terms of dimensions

You’ve got a budget 10 iii. It does not have an amazing screen.

One of the main talking points in every single video about Xperias is the 21:9 screen. You’re living in make believe land.
