Sony Xperia smartphones look so good on paper. So why is it that we don't recommend them? Here's our answer to that and a brief 2023 review of the Sony Xperia 1 IV.

What, because you can use them with one hand? As opposed to all the fat bricks out there?

Yeah and you can read 2 pages of an ebook on the same screen, they fit one on top of the other lengthwise. A win-win situation! Definitely worth the premium price now that you said it. Anyway, good luck reaching the top part of the screen with your stubby thumb without using the other hand on that land strip type of a form factor.

What kind of sasquatch ass hands do you have where you can reach the top of any phone?

I miss my Xperia 5iii, but those screens are too expensive to justify replacing when I get a brand new device for the same cost.

It's not about the size of the hands that matter but how you use them. ;) Hands size shaming must come to an end. But yeah I can pretty much grab a basket ball single handedly and throw it accurately, no problem.
