"Sony doesn’t seem to be a fan of in-display fingerprint readers, so yet again the reader will be built into the power button on the side."
Wise move

This was all looking good until the bit about the silly 21:9 ratio. It'll be another tall, skinny remote control that you can't use comfortably with one hand.

Oh no! 21:9?! Why?! WTF?! Sony... please look back to your Sony Xperia ZL from 2013 ... take this case (resp. these dimensions) and put into it the latest hardware and a camara setup like from the vivo X60 Pro+ 5G!

YUKI93, 29 Jan 2021I actually doubt if Sony can still keep the slim design con... moreagree: mk1 and mk2 dont have amazing battery performance, probs because of the 4k display. i feel if they bump the thickness by .5mm, they could make the camera island pop out less if there is a periscope and get more space for well needed battery capacity.

zimilaci84, 29 Jan 202121:9 is amazing :)42:9 is even more amazing. You can watch two 21:9 movies at the same time.
Too bad sony cant make it.

Tann Hauser, 29 Jan 2021No need for any more.
I dont appreciate any difference bet... moredont get me wrong... i also prefer 4k@60hz... being from z5 premium and buying the 1ii
somehow sony has the smaller flagship to take care of those who wants 120hz... 5ii has fhd@120hz

Jongjave, 29 Jan 2021Current flagship is close to 21:9 screen ratio. S21 series ... moreWhen that happens, no one will bat an eye. i transitioned from an S7 edge with a 16:9 screen to the 21:9 of xperia 5 ii: took a bit of time to get used to it being narrower and taller as its quite the jump but was ok within a week. Having netflix using the whole screen and no notch, cut outs, etc and without zoom is just satisfying
Id be surprised if people transitioning from newer phones with 18.5:9 or even 20:9 aspect ratio screens have any issues adapting to the 21:9 screen.

The current 4k Display has 60Hz (xperia 1II) but smooth af...due to the motion blur reduction

Daimon, 29 Jan 2021Nothing special.
Competitors did it first.Tell me another 21:9 Display with 4k Resolution and eventually 120Hz while maintaining the 4k Resolution?
Front facing stereo speakers? - not an earpiece...but a normal speaker

[deleted post]The thing is, Sony has its own camera software. Photo Pro. I am 100% sure that DxO-M did not use that application but the default android camera.
No wonder the test pictures are bad

Daimon, 29 Jan 2021Nothing special. Competitors did it first.is there actually any phone now that doesnt look like something has been done already? notches, bezels, cutouts, slab design. what a weird thing to complain about on Sony only, iPhones have minor changes design wise every year, most chinese phones look similar, samsung phones also.. Foldables are the way to go for something different but they are not economical yet

Can Sony squeeze out 120hz and also 4k with the Snapdragon 888? Otherwise why borher trading up to this from Experia 1i or 1ii ??

Article's Quote, "The Xperia 1 III will also have a 3.5mm headphone jack and a microSD slot"
If that's not a reason to purchase this flagship phone, then I'll be a monkey's uncle.

In terms of year to year upgrades, sony is doing an incredibly good job! The xperia 1 series II is much better than series I and the III seems to improve on everything. Is there anything this phone doesn't have? 3.5mm jack, front firing stereo speakers, small bezels no notch, camera shutter button, periscope zoom, zeiss lenses, expandable storage etc. WOW!!
I bought the s21 ultra only because xperia 1 series II was strangely not sold in my country, but if the series III is available this year I might really be tempted to trade the s21 ultra for this beauty, enough compromises! Thank you SONY.

Gandalf, 29 Jan 2021I really don't understand how Sony are camera pioneers... moreThey never knew how to make good software, image processing has always been their worst issue. Rivals know what they are doing, so the results are better.
