Which did away with the headphone jack and asks €400 for crap performance.

Nah I'm sticking to my Samsung XCover

Xperia IV aren't crap performance but they are 3x €400

It was the SOC that wasn't great. Nothing to do with the manufacturers.

Ah, I had the Experia XZ Compact before, the performance was awful, even when I didn't have high expectations.
It even had trouble just web browsing static, textual webpages.

The camera was really good, but that was the only thing I was happy with.

Either way, the fact that your good Sony phone is around € 1200 speaks volumes.

Either way, you could spend the same amount on an iPhone or a Samsung. Failing to see your point here.

That those are also either overpriced or bad, and don't have audio jacks, replaceable batteries or normal screens, either.
