Why did your choose the Sony Xperia over something like a OnePlus 15 or (insert top tier phone this year)? I've always been curious as almost every owner I've heard from absolutely loves their phones?
Id be particularly interested in those who couldn't put didn't go through their carrier. I have a OnePlus 13 and I swear I'll be using it for another 3 years. But I'd like to consider an Xperia for my next phone.

This is not going to be helpful, but in the mid 2000's I had an Xperia cell phone. It was the first truly mobile device I could get simple game emulators to run on. It also had a dedicated dpad and buttons for gaming. It was fantastic and for what its worth, I didn't even know they still made phones, but I'm gonna check em out now too.

Edit: Actually, the Xperia 1 VII looks sick as hell, and will probably be my next phone if I can get a hold of one.
