  • Sure!

    The Xperia line of phones are their premiums.

    The Xperia 1 series are the larger, highest end versions with the Xperia 5 series being the smaller, slightly-lesser versions but still very premium. The Xperia 10 line is their budget line but they’re still capable.

    The Roman numerals succeeding those model names are the current version.

    So last year I had an Xperia 1 II (Called Xperia 1 “Mark 2”)

    I upgraded to the Xperia 1 IV (Mark 4) which is two years newer. I think the V just came out which is the newest and best version- aka the Xperia 1 V.

    Hope that helps. Once it clicks it kinda makes sense but it’s still very silly l.





  • I get what you mean, the main difference there being that Google, Samsung and Apple add a ton of auto photo enhancements built into their camera apps to make photos “pop” more, without effort- which is suitable for most people who aren’t photography inclined.

    Sony phones give you all the tools to enhance them but it’s up to the user to do it, which as a photographer I certainly appreciate. Sony still had a basic camera app that adds a small degree of enhancements, but you can also shoot them in RAW.

    That being said, I think it’s funny that the only(?) flagships right now that retain expandable storage and a headphone jack are labeled by YouTubers as “enthusiast/niche” phones when really they’re just as usable for anyone and the same price as a mid- top tier iphone.

    You just add the photo “pop” yourself if desired.
