But the A55 doesn't have a headphone jack, this can be a game changer for some.
I had to import a xperia 1V because the offering for high end phone with 3.5mm jack and an SD card slot is pretty much non-existant where I am (Canada).

MODERATORS
While I am a big supporter of having the headphone jack (I see no reason to have another device requiring charging), I feel like this is one smartphone feature that unfortunately doesn't stand a chance to survive in the future (I think SD card support has a somewhat better chance, but I could be wrong).
But yes, the headphone jack is a good differentiator relative to the A55.
This range of Xperias continues to be the best buy Android phone for years now.
Except a pixel can run graphene.
Xperias can run Sailfish OS :)
Hadn't heard of that, looks like a great option on xperias.
It's plastic and it has 21:9 still. Can someone explain to me what the appeal is?
21:9 is lovely in my opinion
