Haha yeah, it took me a while to "get" their new "naming convention"

Like guys you're making premium smartphones, not enterprise computer monitors

Can you tell me what it is, I genuinely wanted to buy one at the start of this year and just didn't after getting confused with this.

[-] Retrograde@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Sure!

The Xperia line of phones are their premiums.

The Xperia 1 series are the larger, highest end versions with the Xperia 5 series being the smaller, slightly-lesser versions but still very premium. The Xperia 10 line is their budget line but they're still capable.

The Roman numerals succeeding those model names are the current version.

So last year I had an Xperia 1 II (Called Xperia 1 "Mark 2")

I upgraded to the Xperia 1 IV (Mark 4) which is two years newer. I think the V just came out which is the newest and best version- aka the Xperia 1 V.

Hope that helps. Once it clicks it kinda makes sense but it's still very silly l.
