Sony Xperia 1 II

  • ... that tech journalists noted the inclusion of a 3.5 mm audio jack in the upcoming flagship smartphone Sony Xperia 1 II? "It may also be the only flagship smartphone in 2020 with a headphone jack." (Ars Technica); "As well as the 3.5mm headphone jack, which makes a welcome return here" (Engadget)
    • ALT1:... that the Roman numeral suffix in the name of the upcoming flagship smartphone Sony Xperia 1 II is read "mark two"? "'The "Sony Xperia One Two?' [...] this thing is apparently the 'Sony Xperia One Mark Two.'" (Ars Technica)

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Yes
  • Interesting: Yes
  • Other problems: No - I like the idea of the hook, but feel it could be phrased differently to highlight the rarity of finding a new phone with a headphone jack.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: All looks good. Just try rewording the hook! Soaper1234 - talk 23:39, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

  • @Feminist: sorry for the delayed reply! I'd maybe add something along the lines of "which is deemed uncommon" at the end to explain its relevance. Soaper1234 - talk 20:08, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
  • I guess that's possible, though my counter-argument to that would be if we have to explain why a 3.5mm jack is interesting, they would not be interested in reading this article anyway. Alternatively, perhaps "that unlike most other smartphones, the Sony Xperia 1 II smartphone includes a 3.5 mm audio jack?" would feel more natural. feminist (talk) 01:51, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
