Reply to comment by gear_m9 in Huge Sony Xperia 1 IV price cut gives credence to rumor that Xperia 1 V may match Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra price tag by ardi62

Ya no excuse for the lack of support. I can't drop that kind of money on a phone that's not garunteed to work more than 2 yrs. Especially for a phone that's probably not popular enough to have a lot of homebrew support either.

Sony phones all have an unlocked bootloader so there are plenty of options for running your own OS once you stop getting official updates (which is actually 3-4 years with the 1 5 10 range)

Really, so you can install LineageOS easier right?

You still need ROM support, but yes.
