He has nothing bad to say about the phone and it's the same price as last year, plus a 512gb of storage option.

The 2 years of updates is a rather big deal though, otherwise this would be my next phone.

at least you do get 4 years of security updates.

That's awesome for that very important feeling of security, but man it sucks when you get to two years and realise your phone won't be getting any better. I guess some folks don't mind that, and of course there's also ROMs as a solution, but still.

Ok so apparently this happened and root is out of the option now

PSA: don't buy it if you need root. Their unlock servers are shut down and moderators proactively delete topics with questions about it. -u/rngesius

Yeah, that makes it a pretty unappealing phone imo. Two years of version updates and no option of moving to a rom afterwards... That's a big ol' nope.

Yeah it really sucks. I really hope Sony doesn't follow the same way.
