I'm not sure why this comes up in every Sony post. Their naming scheme is dirt simple and stable unlike other brands. 1 is flagship, 5 is their midrange and 10 is their low end. Mark number is generation.

Simpler than pro, max, plus, FE, lite, 5g etc from all the other brands. I swear people just like to bitch about Sony.

Looks like more generic ODM Chinese phones. With a somewhat no-name processor. Nothing to see here.

Its not compact, not waterproof, no wireless charging and not available in the US.

We're told that folding phones are the new small phones, but the moment they start to get usable folded they get bigger too.

I came really close to giving it a try. My two biggest gripes were that the unfolded size was too big and the leather back wasn't standard.

Slower charging, huge energy waste, heats up like mad

For one, you don't have to use it, so these are never downsides if its on your phone. Secondly none of these are a problem for me. I charge slowly at night, my phone never gets hot, and phone charging is less than .1% of my electric bill.

Standard iPhone, zenfone 10 and S23 could be considered medium.

Couldn't disagree more. Both are huge selling points for me, and have virtually no downsides, unlike other phone features.

Make sure to buy a US phone if you live in the US. In the US, Motorolas mid range is just called G with word addons not numbers. You can use frequencycheck.com to verify if it has the correct bands, but make sure to check the model number because some brands have multiple versions.

Most phones are now good enough to use for years, and not much is happening for innovation. Makes sense that only people in the high end market are buying anything.

Unless you're in the US, then you don't get a choice.

Yeah that whole "flat tire" thing was so blown out of proportion. It looks better than any of the current watches with their huge bezels. I swear someone paid off reviewers to pan Motorola's products. The moto X got a bunch of unfair BS too.
