- endemic 8y agoAmazingly, they also offer official AOSP builds (https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/latest-updates/ https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/latest-updat...). LineageOS is also supported on the Xperia Z5 Compact. GApps optional for the privacy conscious.
- Youden 8y ago> LineageOS is also supported on the Xperia Z5 Compact. There's also unofficial support for the more recent XZ1 Compact.
- balladeer 8y agoI was immediately put off by the generous bezels on top and bottom. Sony had really improved on this aspect of late (actually kinda got rid of that questionable design and form factor that was ubiquitous in Sony phones). It seems they figured they need it back for some reason.
- masklinn 8y agoYeah but then you've got to use an xperia phone.
- singularity2001 8y agoRemove Google, add iOS and I consider it. (privacy…)
- kllrnohj 8y agoYou can flash it with AOSP and then there's no Google: https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/latest-updates/ https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/latest-updat...
- singularity2001 8y agoOh wow. That info should be spread!
- 51Cards 8y agoThis will probably be my next phone. I have a Pixel v1 right now and unless the Pixel 3 impresses me a lot I will be moving over to a Sony Compact. All the features I want (including a headphone jack and large battery) in something that isn't a mini tablet.
