      I understand phones at present are over-priced, but I'd be keen to know where you can buy one of these for less than $1000….

  • duodeta on 03/11/2020 - 01:09

    Such as great phone. 120hz refreshing rate and 240hz touching response. 4000 mah battery. 163gram.

    • plmko on 03/11/2020 - 03:28

      This is the perfect phone of 2020. A return to no bull design. It is unfortunate they are not available locally and are expensive.

      • xrailgun on 03/11/2020 - 03:52

        Great screen, great stereo speakers, great headphone jack, with water resistance, SD card slot, and wireless charging (my bad got it confused with the 1 2).

        This is literally my perfect phone. Even the price is fair vs Samsung and Apple flagships… but the lack of local availability/support is… ugh!

          I have been eyeing this phone but as you said local unavailability is a major drawback. I think Sony should relaunch it's smartphone business here as I'm sure there have fans.

    Toby sells 1219 bucks if they are reliable

    • Scythic on 03/11/2020 - 12:05

      They exited Australian market but they're still in other countries

  • Mahogany Granger on 03/11/2020 - 01:49

      70mm width, it's just long is how they measured the diagonal.

    can you make my ps5 instead of this..

  • Creepy Woody on 03/11/2020 - 02:23

    My last 3 phones were Sony's. Xperia Play, Xperia Z2, XZ Premium. Then they went and gave up our market.

    Not going to pursue them, already moved on to Pixel and love it, but very disappointed in Sony. It really is typical of them to give up unless its an absolute hit like their Bravia tv's and mainline Playstation consoles (outside of which I have no faith in them to support).

    I've seen Sony phones around the place. I know Samsung and Apple had them beat, but isn't some market share better than none? Especially for an electronics company? The phones already exist, just send smaller allocations to us to satisfy those who enjoy using them, but alas, no.

    • plmko on 03/11/2020 - 03:24
      +4

      Absolutely not, there is zero point in selling in a market that is small but requires high over heads to service it.

    • 0zyt0zy on 03/11/2020 - 04:27

      You spoke my mind. The Xperia 1 ii and this phone are such a marvellous devices but unfortunate that they aren't available here anymore. I'm surprised even in US this phone is not available until Dec despite launching many months earlier.

    • boomramada on 03/11/2020 - 07:33

      My last three phones , Xperia Play, Xperia Z2, XZ Premium, lots of tiny issues , over heating, lagging, mic issue then I went to Huawei. No such a issue other than war games between China and US.

    • Scythic on 03/11/2020 - 12:09

      I was on the same boat. I was a loyal customer of Sony phone until they abandoned Australian market. Couldn't stand Samsung's phone so I went with Google Pixel

    • SurprisedPanda on 03/11/2020 - 17:27
      +1

      I owned z2, z3, z3+, z5 - pretty loyal huh, but I must say that despite having great design (thin, square, light - almost don't feel it in a pocket) and an amazing camera and being water/dust proof, all of them suffered from overheating, especially z5 - I couldn't record full hd 60fps video for longer periods of time and if it was a hot day, navigation could just freeze, while I drive or phone could just shut down leaving me not knowing where to go on an important crossroad or highway - and it would not turn on until it cools down (what might be problematic, cause it is still noon and I had to turn on AC in my car only so that phone could work), eventually one day it went to a loop, froze, became hot as hell, did shut down and never came back (motherboard was fried according to several different repair shops). And that's why z5 was my last Sony phone - I had to part ways with the brand, whose flagship at the time had such major issues. Now I am with LG and good so far.

  • bert-lifts on 03/11/2020 - 02:29

    How's Becextech compared to tobydeals and other grey market sellers etc?

    • Viper18 on 03/11/2020 - 07:28

      I've had no issues with them, bought twice now through them.

  • mitch01 on 03/11/2020 - 05:52

    I'm using it right now and can confirm it is the perfect phone.

  • Travis J on 03/11/2020 - 06:13

    Legend has it that they are giving away an XM4 with one of these.

      I think that's with the newer model and it's a US-only promotion AFAIK.

  • [Deactivated] on 03/11/2020 - 07:52

    Do these have wireless charging?

    • ragflan on 03/11/2020 - 08:25

      Nope. Compared to the Xperia 1 II, the 5 II has a higher refresh rate screen, but they removed wireless charging.

  • fastnet on 03/11/2020 - 08:52

    I have a Xperia 1 ii and it's an impressive phone but it only offers basic 3G and 4G network connectivity with our local networks. The same will also apply to the 5 ii,

    • 5G network access gets blocked by Telstra after 2 days.
    • No VoLTE and VoWiFi - Phone is not supported by our
    networks.

    • ppt on 03/11/2020 - 10:56

      Perfect if you are on a mvno other than boost

        No VoLTE/VoWIFI on Optus or Vodafone either. Not sure about 5G.

    • Telios on 03/11/2020 - 13:22

      Why does 5G get blocked?

      Is there a whitelist for approved phones for 5G?

      • fastnet on 03/11/2020 - 14:42
        +1

        Not really sure why it's getting blocked. I've asked Telstra support and they don't know either. Seems to be some sort of automatic block from the network.

        There's no whitelist. According to Telstra FAQs (bottom of the page), you can bring your own 5G device and use it on their network.

  • Modesty on 03/11/2020 - 09:07

    Is it Sony's flagship of 2020?

    • Viper18 on 03/11/2020 - 21:55

      It's the 'compact' version of their flagship phone the Xperia 1 II, as stated in someone elses post, this one comes with a higher refresh rate screen at a lower resolution but doesn't have wireless charging. Apart from that it's practically the same phone.

  • scud70 on 03/11/2020 - 09:20

    Yikes.. really thought Sony had given up on phones, guess it was only in the Aus market. At this price they really need to move on from this market segment and get back to what they do best.

  • krisspy on 03/11/2020 - 10:00

    They could've at lease tried to tie it in with ps5 gaming or something. This is just lol for the price

  • hengzhan on 03/11/2020 - 10:10

    My favourite phone at this moment.. if only it's under $1000!

    Jeez, who the heck comes up with the names of Sony's flagship phones. It seems so random and confusing

    I'm not surprised they aren't doing too well, they've been rehashing the same design since the inception of their first android phone (they've seemed to end that trend with this iteration). Not many people are too keen on buying a phone that looks like their last.

    In my eyes, about the only thing going for it is the headphone jack. You would hope that sony phones would have the best camera, since they make all the best phone lens on the market

  • xuqi on 03/11/2020 - 10:39

    Sony have generally provided the worst, almost non-existent software support/updates for their phones & tablets.

    Surprised they bother releasing anything new, or that anyone would pay the asking price for one of their models.

    • Viper18 on 09/11/2020 - 15:26

      Not sure I've never bought from either. I've purchased from both Becextech and Expansys and not had any issues, just a long wait for delivery which is expected.

      • FW190 on 09/11/2020 - 20:58

        ok thx for that, I am rather apprehensive about buying a $1+k from some shop on the other side of the world……

        right now, I am leaning towards to either Kogan (yeah I know) or Mymobile, as they are supposed to be a local business, so if something goes wrong, at least I might have some recourse, or is that just my wishful thinking?

        • Viper18 on 10/11/2020 - 22:26

          I just bought it on a CC that has insurance. So if the deal goes belly up I just get them to sort it out. Kogan do have them if it gives you peace of mind just buy through them.
