Sony Phones... by the way, I think big part of development still is in Sweden (can someone corroborate?). can be saved.. Sony has this evil nature with overreaching copyright protections but Sony Xperias has been remarkable independent on Sony's appalling reputation.
Most point on the overprice problem... true. For what we get, outstanding optics (but many have them too now), a headphone jack and the best fingerprint sensor placement won't cut it anymore. For that is overpriced!
Now, Xperias, do this (and wont require any more $$$):
Millions won't mind to pay a premium for that, now, truly distinguished, phone that one can feel proud owning it and... well displaying it out there too.
Proud owner of 5 Xperias since Nokia's 808 but, since 2022 with 2 Pixels with GrapheneOS whose hardware I hate to death but with no viable alternative left.
I would have assumed that it wasn't in Sweden since like 2012 when Sony bought it Ericsson, but it looks like Sony Mobile ab got rolled into Sony Nordic a couple years ago. So they actually may still be designed in Sweden.
