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.

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.
