as long as you insist to use this aspect ratio and low battery you will fail.

    At 1200 Euros, it's gonna be another decline of sales this year.
    Also they are notorious in releasing phones late after announcement where other manufacturers get an edge not to forget the lack of worldwide ability

      There no 5G ? It will be important in the future.

            Mi 10 does not have GG6 on both sides.
            It has USB C 2.1, samsung uses 3.2.
            Xiaomi uses FHd screen, Samsung uses QHD.
            S20 Ultra uses ddr5 from Samsung, Xiaomi from other supplier.

            Many components have different suppliers, ppl should stop comparing like they cost all same.
            A 6" FHD oled screen on one phone does not mean is same of 6" FHd oled on other phone.

              You are just jealous.

                        ewki, 01 Mar 2020true but since xperia 1 and xperia 1 II is not true 4K ... moreThere are different kinds of 4K. According to ratio.
                        4K means at least 3840 on one side, not 2160 on smaller.
                        You cant have 2160p on 1:1 screen.

                        2160 only applies to 16:9.
                        5040 x 2160 = 5K

Pixel density is too high to see any difference on small screen. To be fair 720p is all you need for phone, max 1080p, beyond that is jist waste of resources.

                            Anonymous, 01 Mar 2020Pointless to have another app just to use manual because gc... moreWhy pointless to have another app for another purpose?
                            Is that app consuming too much memory space or slowing down your phone?
                            Not everything has to be stock. There is a giant playstore for the same reason.
                            So you can install 3rd party apps which are better than stock in many cases.

                            I bet you the type of guy to complain how the inbuilt notepad app on a random Stock ROM sucks, then refuse to use another third party app, keep complaining for years, how they haven't fixed it and thereby label that Android skin as being no good.

                              It is another joke from Sony. 2019 level cameras, gimmicky display and as usual gimmicky Software for insane price, it is absolutely disaster from Sony side, another year, another failure for Sony.

                                Mike, 01 Mar 2020How come is Ultra better phone? Based on what exactly? Ther... moreJust wait for the review aside from display Samsung will be better and Sony lacks the brand image from years ago and if Sony is the leader in R&D and stuff than why is their mobile division loosing money? Based on what you said Sony should be on the top. People's focus is shifting and more people are moving towards low price-high specs phones like Redmi, Realme, Xiaomi, OPPO, Honor etc or go with top brands like Huawei, Samsung, Apple, other brands in between like LG, HTC and Sony are loosing market so unless you are a top brand you can't price whatever you want that's why Essential lost and Nokia is dying again you just have to start low

                                  Anonymous, 01 Mar 2020If Sony can put 4K screen, so can Samsung, Apple, Huawei, ... more4k screen on a smartphone is far less useful compared to higher refresh rate.
                                  4k consumes more battery nothing else.

                                  12gb ram vs 8gb ram can be huge for futureproofing.
                                  While 4k content, most ppl enjoy it on big screen rather than tiny sub-7 inch displays.

                                    Anonymous, 01 Mar 2020It is not matter of brand recognition. It is a matter of ... moreI doubt this cost more tham $500 even S20 Ultra I doubt cost more than $700 and it is a matter of brand recognition ever wondered why Xiaomj phones with better specs cost less than Samsung? Or why Oneplus prices have been increasing over the years? Once a brand becomes well established they start charging for their name

                                      370 EUR phone is not a midranger. A midranger costs 200- 250 EUR. For 370 euro in my country you could get phones like LG V40 Thinq, Huawei Mate 20, Samsung Galaxy A80, Xiaomi Mi 9, Google Pixel 2 XL, Sony Xperia XZ2, Honor View 20. Yes most of them are a few years old but with much better spes.
