What new phone?

General
#1

I have an Xperia XA2 with 4.53 0.25. It’s already pretty slow. New Xperia X III , IV or V? Or another?

#2

C2 or either of those (they are really pretty similar) is really your big choice. Take what you like. What more info were you expecting with an unqualified question?

#3

Depends, if you want a phone right now III, if you are willing to wait 2-3 months probably IV/V (see how the hw support is once it releases), money is also a consideration, XIII is a flat fee of 50€ 25 (see What new phone? - #13 by ckonte), IV/V will come with a sub, so you can get whole shebang for a fiver, but update support only for 30 days (supposedly yearly and forever options are coming, but no details yet), seeing how often jolla pushes updates the 5€ per month seems like the cheapest option anyway (you’d spend 15 by now if only updating major releases on XIII)

#4

So my ancient license will no longer work from Xperia X?

#5

I’d prefer something smaller.

#6

Legacy devices stay on the perpetual license, no change there

#7

Licenses never transferred between license groups - and still don’t.
4.6 is the last update for the X.
But i thought you said you had an XA2 - presumably got a license for that too.

Have you actually tried? If anything the X and XA2 are a bit less palm-friendly due to being wider/thicker.
Height-wise the X/10 difference is not much more than 1 cm. So, apart from reaching the very top of the screen i can’t see a difference - and with SFOS you generally don’t need to reach badly placed buttons anyway.

I meant smaller than a C2.

#9

So unless the prices look too unappealing, then the 10-series is for you.

#10

With the C2, besides the excessive size, I don’t care for the 4000mAh battery capacity.

#11

It depends entirely on power consumption. That figure sits solidly between the 10 II and III. 4000 used to be considered humongous.

#12

Okay. I guess I’ll wait for the Xperia 10 V.Or I’ll go for the 10III , it’ll be a step up from the XA2 :slight_smile:

#13

Actually I understood that the fee for the 10 III now is 25€ instead of 50. Which makes it the safest bet imho

oh right, don’t know if the new pricing is in effect or will come into place after IV/V comes in, but you’re well damn right

  • Xperia 10 III if you want the best available device right now (and don’t mind a few patches and workarounds). Also, 5G!
  • Xperia 10 II if you get one for a good deal, and don’t mind a bit slower device (w.r.t. X10III)
  • Jolla C2 if you want the best-working, least-buggy device, and don’t mind missing 5G and not-the-best screen. And you pre-order it before it runs out. And you don’t mind waiting for a few months.
  • Xperia 10 V/IV if you want the bestest and fastestest device, don’t mind waiting for a few months, and don’t mind risking it a bit. They don’t have SFOS available yet, since there are unresolved upstream issues (the last time I heard). My bet is that they will be grand!
