Was going to get a Sony. Then I saw their update roadmap... 2 years of major updates and another one for security patches, that was it. Noped out because of that. I'd like a headphone jack and an sd card slot, but I'd like even more to keep such an expensive device for more than three years.

Also, their phones are too big, but that's an issue for every single manufacturer.

That is a real concern & it seems they are moving to 4 years of updates as well as not rolling out a new phone every year, but given that LineageOS supports the phones, even if I am not getting firmeware updates, I am willing to take that risk since I get more IO.

The Xperia 5 is a skinny 6.1" & many consider it to be a small phone option in 2024.
