Android 10 on the Sony XPERIA 5: Gestures for a Skinny Phone?
2019 was a strong year for Sony hardware. The Xperia 1 and Xperia 5 showed off a new skinny form factor, a bold new design which still echoed the hard-edged rectangular DNA of classic Xperias. I was very taken with this approach in my X5 review.
The other half of the phone review equation though, how well has the manufacturer updated the software for the phone?
Pretty darn well. Continue reading “Android 10 on the Sony XPERIA 5: Gestures for a Skinny Phone?”

Cheap Phones Won Christmas 2019 -or- Consumer Don’t Listen to Tech Reviewers
We’re looking at an analyst report, so it goes without saying that these numbers should be taken with a fairly large rock of salt.
