I personally don’t have much experience with Sony Ericsson phones. To me, all Sony electronics (outside of the PlayStations) are always just good, but also always at a price premium, and there is usually better value to be found with another brand. (I will concede that many of their recent products, however, actually feels like they are the best in class again.)
Sony phones are no exception to the rule. I’ve only seen one Sony phone out in the wild (outside of the Persona 5 anime, where apparently every phone is made by Sony). It was good, had everything I wanted on a phone, but nothing really stands out about it outside of its small size. You would think the company that supplies everyone’s camera sensors and makes the best mirrorless camera would, by logic, have the best camera phones as well, but again, nothing about them really stands out.
In conclusion, always good, never exceptional.
Also, last 2 cents, I just can’t take the name “Xperia One II” seriously.
Yes, you enter the IMEI of the first slot on the Sony website and get the bootloader unlock code, that’s it. They are Treble devices btw so you can flash any GSI ROM not just LineageOS.
Oh, nice! Assumed since Sony it’d be locked down and walled-in like every other Sony device I’ve owned. I’ve been sticking with OnePlus and Motorola and making sure the ones I got were bootloader-unlockable, but I may give them a look for my pending upgrade.
