I own one and wish it got a "sequel" at least. Sure there are android gaming handhelds now, but imagine a smartphone in this form factor running ps2 and gamecube. Would be absolute insanity. To the xperia's credit its still really solid for snes, gameboy/gba, ps1 and even DS. Only reason I stopped using mine was because a modded new 3ds does all that too. But even 10+ years after it launched this thing was still my daily carry
@tldmimikyu5779 hell no lmao it couldn't even run n64 or psp, running switch on an android this old is completely impossible. My current phone runs switch (galaxy z fold 4) and even this sometimes struggles with it. Absolutely no way the Xperia could do the same.

@@fedorboendermaker1536 This thing beats any modern phone in portability. I love mine and use it to this day as a portable emulation device. You can barley tell its in your pocket. Wish Sony would make a more modern version for gamecube and ps2, let alone psplay
Man minecraft pocket edition was so fun. I remember getting into it like 2011 or 2012, every little update i got so excited for. Like when i first started zombies were only enemy, then the spider/skeleton/creeper update hit, that was hype. The bed update, chest update, armor update! I loved it. Mcpe actually is why i first got into twitter, i wanted to follow the developer of the game to get news of updates, Ah those were the days.
I miss this phone so much unfortunately mine had connectivity issues weeks after buying it. Did play Minecraft on it though, just wish sony would make an updated model for today, same slide mechanic for buttons and joysticks would be amazing for a modern gaming phone
I remember bringing this phone to school, playing MinecraftPE and a whole bunch of emulators and old school Gameloft titles. It was so fun showing it off to friends. It's too bad we haven't seen another phone like this in a long time.

I had this, and it was really cool! My favorite things to do at the time were build treehouses, and dig an underground maze/tunnel from one point to another on the surface. The coolest was one I started in a little hole at the west side world border (which was very close in the version I played) and came out like 50 blocks to the north east and 20 or so blocks up, right at a cool little stone platform that had naturally formed on the side of a large hill. It was lots of fun, and it did feel very smooth!
I had this phone in 2011 and remember playing Minecraft at school and commuting. It was a lot of fun, and I did use it to show off to friends. I also remember playing Pokemon and Earthbound on this. Good times!

I had that thing when it came out. The gamepad was nice but it had a lot of issues, like a weak 1 core 1GHz cpu limited internal storage and I had to send it in multiple times because the connector cable between the phone and display was broken.

Have you play Minecraft Pocket Edition?
Yep, it was pretty cool I owned this phone when it came out
yes, my first version of minecraft was pocket edition 0.10.5 which i bought on March 31, 2015 on my samsung galaxy s3 LTE
Pocket Edition was how I first experienced the game, I saw my cousin building a brick house and I got Lite on my iPod. Crazy how long it’s been

Well external controllers got a lot better and allow you to carry a way smaller phone when not gaming

With the Joycon controller modules it might be possible to make a phone case that doubled as a gamepad.
