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
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
“Your
callphone is important to us.”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.
I bought one as the VIs were coming out because it still fit better for my needs than the newer hardware. Long live my 5V.
Loved my Xperia 1 VI but it needed hw upgrades pretty badly for the price
