Oh wow that’s really shitty.

Thanks for the info! :)

What you doin’ with your phone in the shower >.>

Oh wow that sucks. :( Haven’t seen that yet, but damn shame that it is common issue.

Does it appear after some time, or mostly DOA? Does Sony replace the broken devices?

What do you mean with “light lines issue”? I haven’t had any major problems with my Xperia so far. Sometimes it reboots after being on for a few months, but that’s about it.

Yeah, the Sony phones do that as well. The special part of the camera button is that it acts like one on a proper camera. If you half press it (you can feel a slight change in resistance when you hit the spot) it engages the focus and then you can press it fully to take the picture.

I was able to program the Bixby button on my Samsung S10+ to take pictures as well, but it lacks the half press feature.

Xperia is in my opinion the only phone left worth buying. It has all the bells and whistles you expect from a flagship phone + a headphone jack, SD card slot and very good camera.

I love being able to manually do what ever I want in the camera app and having the camera button is just nice.

Had the Xperia Z3 back in the day after my beloved Sony Ericson Xperia Play died. Loved both phones. Switched to Samsung for a few years and are now back to Sony (Xperia 1 IV) since 2023. Words can’t describe how happy I am being back. :D

Afaik you need kernel access to use this vulnerability. It still sucks, but having malware with kernel access sucks either way. So lets just hope that our favorite kernel anti-cheats never get compromised.
