Data do not work at all with Vodafone and TIM. With Iliad they work, but they only start working in 3G and after having switched off and on again data, and if you switch to 4G or 5G they will stop working altogether after a while.
My current opinion is that the X10III is the worst SFOS port ever.
Been there. Did that. Bought the TShirt. Although with a German Vodafone SIM. And it was a XA2 the last time I visited Italy. But I am so sure, the 10III will work as in many other European Countries.
I only once had a roaming problem one year in Austria. Never happened before, did not happen again. New Year 2023.
It’s not the phone. It’s not SF. It’s you, your phone, your SIM or Italy.
All I want to say is: YMMV.
I had the X, XA2 an 10III from the first day of support for Sony devices. Unexpected needs to reboot or restart a service, loss of sound, reboots when roaming… shit happens but I can live with that.
I have an idiot phone with Lineage just in case and for foolish things.
And I have iPhones for my job which reminds me of the things I seriously not want.
People talking of whatever the 10 III is best port or not. TBH I believe that best port was for XA2, as there is very little usual bugs and almost none that is affecting 10 III (Dissappearing audio for example).
What we should focus on is 10 V and IV, btw is there any new info?
We all feel left behind. In my case to the point Im gonna leave soon. If jolla wont speed up and really communicate with us what is happening I’m gonna pay for Google pixel and go with graphene os. This is a lot of money for newer device but if jolla doesnt want my moeny those will go somwhere else.
They confirmed yesterday in the community meeting that they are preparing post about progress. From a few sentences they already shared there will be some good news.
The first info about SFOS for Xperia IV/V was in Spring 2024. Officially the work is started later. But it’s not it what I will say. The post about 10IV/V has been promised in May (before the holidays time). It’s about 5/6 months and nothing happens. How should the message look? Again, Sony could not deliver right blobs? I’m adult and no child anymore. I’m waiting until this month and sell the smartphone. It’s money what I invested in my drywer.
I could argue that buying old 10 III or total failure which is C2 is childish. Why? Buying 10 III which after a years have too many unresolved bugs or C2 that is slower than 7 years old XA2 is not a viable option. It is only (however bad) alternative.
On the other hand, beliving in what jolla said is childish too. I feel like a child that was promissed but not given.
As someone who has upgraded from XA2 to x10iii, I must confirm your argument would be baseless.
The speed and snappyness of the x10iii are outstanding and even better than those of C2.
I have a Sony XZ2 Compact with a fast Snapdragon 845 and a Jolla C2, both running SFOS 5.0.0.70.
Yes, the UI on the C2 can feel less snappy under high CPU load, and the built-in delays appear to need adjustments to match the experience on faster hardware.
App execution on the XZ2 Compact is sometimes about ~1 second faster, so the difference isn’t dramatic.
I would say the Jolla C2 is on a good path and would be a good daily driver for me, especially with its excellent battery life of up to 2 days under normal use.
No doubt that 10 III is faster than C2. Especially in android apps. I belive people who says that C2 isnt that slow (but they dont say it is fast) because they refuse to belive that it is in fact really really low end device as has nothing to offer in terms of performance.
But to the fast 10 III. It is fast but when you daily drive it for 2 years and had a chance to feel performance of 10 V than you feel that 10 III is just ok, but lacks here and there.
And to starting apps. Some devices can start an app much faster but real question is how fast app becomes stable and usable. This was in my case very bad expirience
