Why did your choose the Sony Xperia over something like a OnePlus 15 or (insert top tier phone this year)? I’ve always been curious as almost every owner I’ve heard from absolutely loves their phones?
Id be particularly interested in those who couldn’t put didn’t go through their carrier. I have a OnePlus 13 and I swear I’ll be using it for another 3 years. But I’d like to consider an Xperia for my next phone.


Not me personally, but Xperia are among the very few phones left that come in smaller sizes. Better for small hands. Not just the total size of the display but the width.
Plus all the other reasons already given of course help (lineageos support, audio jack, …)
That’s why I got a Zenfone. Of the two phones on the market with headphone jacks, when I got mine, the Zenfone was the smaller of the two. It’s sized like a normal phone. Not a tablet like every other phone these days lol
Yes! This! My previous phone was an Xperia because of this in large part. A 5 inch screen makes one-handed use so much easier, plus it fits in more pockets, pouches and niches, plus battery life was so much longer. I hope some decent manufacturer got their head out of their bottoms with small screens & lineage support when I next need a new phone. My thumb doesn’t reach the far top corner on a 7" screen!
