    I had several Xperias before switching to Pixel. It was the lack of updates that did it for me. Offer 7 years of updates in a repairable package and I’ll buy an Xperia again. At this point the only two trains that look acceptable with their own pros and cons are Pixel and Fairphone.

      I recently ordered a display and a battery for my Fairphone 4. Replacement took me about 10 minutes. She’s still humming on /e/OS!

        I keep hearing about /e/OS, I might give it a try! How is it for the banking apps, does it work as standard Android, or is there any issue?

      Sony will do the bare minimum that they are forced to. So 5 years due to the EU. Repairability idk about that. Parts are hard to source outside of Asia for Xperia phones.
