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.

Who the fuck keeps (and uses) a phone for 8 years?

It would be more realistic if they made batteries easily swappable. If I could just pop off the back of the phone and swap a battery in 20 seconds I'd keep that phone forever.

We'll see how that comment ages once apps need more horse power because the apps are yet again peogrammed as a glorified browser window

Back in my day, you don't need 20 seconds to replace a battery. And battery is not just replaceable, but also interchangeable. Multiple phone models could be using the same battery, making it cheaper and more available.

Me.

Honestly, who doesn't? And, importantly, what does the demographic of one-year phone people tell us?

People who prefer to not release toxic waste for no good reason?

5 years and still going strong. Not planning to replace any time soon.
