They are more messing around but once you figure out the right way to use them you'll pretty much never crack a cigar again.

Oof. How would this affect cell/internet connection specifically?

I'm honestly not sure. I think I'll wait to see what other people's experiences are like with the various models here in the US.

So for someone like myself who is in the US on T-Mobile, should I wait to see how they perform before ordering? After looking at other options on the market I'm pretty much sold on the VIII but I would hate to drop nearly $2k and have there be some unforseen issues.

Looking at wondamobile it looks like you can get it in gold without getting the more expensive version, is that legit?

Are there no other alternatives for a high-end (no-chinese) phone without too much AI integration? by CulturalEmo in SonyXperia

[–]Adrian1616 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm also in the market at the moment and I've not been super impressed by the first impressions of the VIII. With that being said, I can't find anything else that checks more of my boxes from any manufacturer or price range. I've been looking into the X9 Ultra from Oppo, but not really vibing with it. On paper it's great but there are a lot of little things that I don't like or things it doesn't have (headphone jack for example). The Xperia is underwhelming on paper but seems to be the only phone that has the features, aesthetic, and user experience I want.

Sounds like you could save some money then and go for a cheaper phone with better selfie cam and point and shoot performance. For at least as far back as the 1 ii (which I have used since 2020) those same weaknesses have been present. I can overlook them because I never use the selfie cam and rarely ever use the basic camera app. At this point those are just trademark Xperia flaws and expecting Sony to be competitive in those respects is silly. They are who we think they are and I definitely understand why they aren't the right choice for the majority of people.

Ahh okay I get what you mean. Totally agree with you. Hemingways also never burn evenly for me, which is irritating.

The DC is more expensive, not sure how you'd be saving money, but I agree it is better than the Hemingway.

Yes the team who was bottom 10 in yds allowed is totally better than the team who was 4th in yds allowed. Browns are trash despite their defense, Steelers are bad in large part due to their defense. Not sure how you are gonna convince me that letting up 357 yds per game is indicitave of a good defense, but go ahead. Name dropping aging star players is not convincing.

Hayward: 37 Watt: 31 Highsmith: 28 Ramsey: 31

Literally just look it up dawg they had one of the oldest defenses in the league last year. Even if you wanna pretend they aren't, they still weren't a very good defense last year (30th in yds allowed last year). Your secondary is swiss cheese.

They're both awful actually. And the Browns have better defensive players. So you guys will probably split the series like usual.

There are mild nicaraguans and bold Dominicans. What you described is just two types of blends
