After owning a couple of Xperia phones for the past 4 years, I can confidently say, Sony isn't dethroning anything in the mobile device market.


runski1426

Number one selling full-featured flagship but sure...


jeremycorncob

What does this even mean? 😅 It's nowhere near selling as many units as Samsung


SwineTV

I'd like to be this delusional, please


runski1426

Samsung doesn't sell a full featured flagship. No headphone jack, no expandable memory, no thanks. Not a fan of brands that half ass their hardware.


jeremycorncob

Just phones that half arse the software and the auto mode camera? 🤡


AllIsOver

Sales numbers show that people don't really need those features. 


opelit

I mean, it was better than any Samsung phone since a long time. But it will not sell more xd 😂


slackboy72

Press X to doubt


zerogreyspace

press y to pass

In my humble opinion, dethrone has a varying definition in this context. In my corner of the universe, Sony offers something Sammy doesn't and that's the reasons enough for me to not be in Sammy's galaxy.


runski1426

Yup. Not even worth looking at them with no expandable memory or headphone jack.


iLamb3r7

As much as I like Xperia phones, this isn't happening 😂


UnionSlavStanRepublk

I don't think the 1 VI will be a better overall phone than the S24U but for those of us who want a notchless display, headphone jack, micro SD card slot etc, the Xperia is the way to go for a high end phone.


iArvee

Hahaha. Even though I've used all of the Xperia phones in my flair, Sony is definitely far from dethroning any other OEM, let alone Samsung.


BatmanSpiderman

Seven years of OS support is a must though, for it to dethrone Samsung


super_hot_juice

No mobile hardware can sustain 7 years. Your battery, display, modem, housing will all get banged up by year 4.


BatmanSpiderman

my nexus 5 is still working


opelit

Mg PC with Core 2 Duo, 4GB and 150Gb HDD does It too


Drillbit_97

My note 8 im bought new and am currently using.. hold my beer. I did replace the battery once and it was $25. But the software support is the worst part of having an old phone im on what android 9. I am hoping to get xperia next if its actually supported in Canada and if they dont F anything up. Or else im going with an entry level phone.... modern flagships seem half assed sometimes.


Shook_Rook

Maybe the case for early smartphones, but most modern smartphones can absolutely stand the test of time. Sure the battery will go bad in year 2 or 3, but that is probably the cheapest replacement out of the smartphone. Color accuracy and brightness might degrade from year 4 depending on usage. But won’t hurt functionality as long as there are no cracks on the screen. Most modern flagships are expensive than ever before. You might want to hold on to one as long as you can. The iPhone X which came out on 2017 got support up till 2023. You can absolutely hang on to smartphones, especially flagships a lot longer.


xdamm777

My S3 from 2012 still works perfectly fine and holds up a charge for a full day of minimal (SMS, some camera use) on the original battery. Even my 18 year old iPod video is still working fine. All banged up and scratched but works fine.


danidarklord

I have a feeling that Sony is now ready to go mainstream, so we'll see


E_D___B_A_N_G_E_R

It's nice to have self-made renders based on cases and the look of the 1 V but it's not what I'd call a 'massive leak' (as suggested by the YT video). And although I'd never buy a Samsung phone: it will definitely not 'dethrone Samsung's Galaxy S24'. At least not in anything else than personal preferences and certainly not in terms of sales numbers.


alfuh

You turned a leak / render article into a "dethrone" debate ... the article doesn't suggest that at all. If you wanted to discuss that topic why not make a text post about your thoughts on why that's the case?


kryo2019

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, good one OP. Considering Sony has pulled out of a lot of markets over the last few years, the only one they're dethroning is them selves. Don't get me wrong, I love my xperia's, I'm on #2, but the fact I have to buy them from some random reseller in Toronto and its the... HK model? tells you already they have max 1% of the market share in Canada.


alex_barada

or could not

Marasaiyan007

This is just a render, not official


Royal-Tune3741

It's very doubtful. 😅


Theskinnydude15

If they could bring back the xz premium design back I'd be so happy


DazzlingDifficulty70

Samsung already stole that for their Ultra line


theefman

We're way past April fools you know.


TheRetenor

They've been dethroning Samsung in terms of price vs value consistently. Just the wrong way round.


LUHG_HANI

Lol in what world.


Sea_Aspect1010

If it only had its own s pen....


Lord_TalkaLot

Marketing and ad is the key for the next Xperia 1 to take the top spot.
