So I finally got my preorder of the EU version and activated it without needing support by using the esim transfer on my old pixel. After close to a week now I’ve had 0 issues!

How’s that camera?
Honestly that’s pretty good. But I’m assuming lemmy compressed it as well.
Ah probably. The auto mode is pretty good, the photos look more natural than my pixel or the wife’s galaxy, but it’s also harder to just point and click to get a good photo every time.
Same sentiment, if other flagships puke everything in high saturation and do all this ai modification it doesn’t feel like a sincere genuine photo anymore.
tbf Sony always tried to put hobbyist features in their camera phones. But you’re right the color accuracy is impeccable. I kinda miss my ZX1 now
I need that wallpaper! What a fantastic pic!
That page requires a login or something to download full quality. I’m not really trying to sign up for a Japanese website. Thanks anyhow.
I don’t think there is a difference between the US & International Version, just maybe the Bands it covers. But the Sony Xperia is a SOLID phone.
Someone on the subreddit did a full band comparison. it seems like the hk variant is best for US customers this time around? I have really been loving it so far tho. Feels more premium than my p6 pro I upgraded from.
Ouch, no band 71 at all. That’ll hurt T-Mobile extended range and indoors as it is their largest low frequency band. The EU version at least supports one T-Mobile 5G band, and their largest at that (41).
Band 12 and 13 will help low band scenarios with AT&T and Verizon respectively. No band 14 means no AT&T service in rural areas like (my always go to example) western Nebraska where it is AT&T’s only low band frequency.
Definitely not the worst band support, but not great either.
Too bad the US is such a toxic environment for cool phones with all the carrier-induced “certification” they put in the way to prevent low-volume and niche manufacturers from bothering.
Definitely, I’m lucky that I live by a major metro and have had 0 issues with 5g coverage so far. I’m hoping that anywhere else I go I either won’t need 5g or will be able to use wifi
Without band 71 (used for both LTE and 5G depending on parts of the country) you’ll likely see more no service scenarios while rural, but if you’re primarily metro, those will be exceedingly rare.
