Reply to comment by Orlimar1 in Huge Sony Xperia 1 IV price cut gives credence to rumor that Xperia 1 V may match Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra price tag by ardi62

I’ve felt it has always been a problem with Xperia. I owned a Sony Xperia Z5 in Singapore and India (for a brief period). It was in my pocket for 2 hours in the sunlight and it would heat up like a hot pocket! Never faced that problem with my iPhone 5 or Samsung S6 Edge. Otherwise, superior brand of phone and I am just waiting for the right time to change back to Xperia.

exactly. i think the very first model of Xperia I owned was called the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro (a goddamn handful to say). Exquisite craftsmanship and I loved that thing from the bottom of my heart. Although Xperia hasn’t really lost a lot of quality, it feels like they stopped trying to make it better and they’ve become a generic smartphone company.

Yeah. Over priced ,under whelming software support and only phone on the market that can't handle video recording...

I've had my iPhone tell me it was overheating sitting in my pocket in Canada. We may just under appreciate how warm shit gets when the sun is blazing on it, even in our pockets.

that is a possibility too. i haven’t really thought of this too deeply so i might have not had extreme cases with other phones.
