Sony Xperia smartphones look so good on paper. So why is it that we don't recommend them? Here's our answer to that and a brief 2023 review of the Sony Xperia 1 IV.

Poor updates (policy), overpriced for the specs. I mean, 400-500 for a phone with a SD695 and 60hrz? Come on... Such a shame, because they are the only ones with a screen without a punchhole/camera cutout...

And they quit making the compact. I rocked 3 or 4 new old stock Xperia xz1 for YEARS. Smallest phones I could get at the time. Now I'm doing the same thing with the s10e which I still feel is too big.

Yes. I loved the compact! Small size is still a major criteria when I look at phones, but they're unfortunately just getting bigger and bigger.. Plus, yeah they were sorta expensive, but super solid. Would buy again anytime.

I miss my Droid Mini so much. i loved that tiny little thing.

Yea if they hadn't cancelled the compact back then, I would've went with it instead of the S10e I got af the time.
