Ouch, an Xperia 1 IV is a bit pricey, best I can find is about $300. As a comparison, my current Pixel 5 is about $150. (Yea, not comparable phones at all, but for my use-case it doesn’t matter).

Nice phone though, thanks for the recommendation - I’m always looking for my next bootloader unlocked phone. Other than being glass backed (which I’m willing to live with, but what’s so wrong with plastic!!) the Xperia line looks great.
