      Samsung has the ability to hide the cutout separately in any app you want. But yeah I prefer the sony approach except the long aspect ratio that shit is a dealbraker.

    Sony, read this if you care about your customers. One thing that is great is that you are different from your competitors. Keeping the headphone jack and SD card reader is great, but getting rid if the LED indicator is just being like the others. Bring it back. Also, put the chargers back in the box. Stick with your strength of being unique. Do not follow the others and get rid of things like chargers and LED indicators. We appreciate those things.
    Also, I appreciate that you have kept the thin bezels instead of putting an ugly notch on the screen. Some don't like that, but I like that you haven't followed all the others there either. That is one more aspect that makes you unique. Stay unique.

      The EU has requested that OEMs remove chargers from the box to avoid e-waste. This is a request, and if Sony ignored it they would be forced with legislation. There is a good reason OEMs using the PD charging protocol are all ditching chargers, to obey the EU and be eco-friendly. Your request is anti-green and will be ignored.
      I agree with the LED, though; that is a shame. Ditto the bezels; I do not have a nervous breakdown when I see a bezel, especially when it is for a reason.

    It's basically the same phone as the 10 IV. The only difference is the front facing speakers and increased max brightness. Probably some minimal upgrades in the camera quality. Notification led is also gone and the charging is still slow. It's not cheap either. I was expecting for some big changes with the 10 V. Why, Sony? Why?

    I'm an ultralight/lightweight hiker who carries a mirrorless camera. All I need is battery life, ability to navigate using a GPS/mapping app, basic entertainment like podcasts/youtube, an earphone jack because it's one less thing to charge, and excellent battery life. This seems to be ideal. I've had the Moto g9 power because of the 6,000mah battery, but due to it not being as efficient it ironically means that I get less lifespan, and when charging from my powerbank it drains more juice from it. Having a phone that is more efficient with a smaller battery is a win-win.

      Well I think it depends on what you have and what you want. If you already have 10 III or IV, you probably don't need to upgrade in the first place. And if you are looking for a phone where compact form, and headphone jack is a must, this and Asus Zenfone (which is twice the price) are basically your only options. Not to mention that Xperia has expandable storage, no notch or hole for camera and a great battery life (helped by "weaker" SoC that you won't notice if you are not playing games). Yes, upgrades are minor, but it's selling at basically the same price of 10 IV where I'm from so...

    If the video quality was better I'd probably go for this phone. One thing I use my phone for is filming skateboarding clips and an action sport like that at only 30fps seems like a bad fit. My moto g power 2020 does 1080p 60 and I think 4k 30 and costs about half the price(I paid 200 for mine at least a few years back).
    Still on the hunt for a good smaller phone it seems. I also have mixed feelings on how long these sony phones are; to me that just would hurt pocketability and kind of defeats the purpose of a smaller phone to me. The Zenfone would be my go to if it wasn't for the price and I do prefer a microSD slot as well since I put mp3 music files for offline listening(don't do spotify/music streaming).
    The Fairphone is also something that lines up with my ideals for a phone(repair-ability), but they didn't include a headphone jack and I think the newest model is also too big for what I'm looking for.
    Oh well, my moto g power 2020 is still functional but it does get laggy often enough to be annoying.
