He clearly... moreUnfortunately some issue cannot be fixed overnight, there is a reason why they shipped it with unfinished software. They might fix contrast and saturation on ultrawide but more importantly video is dropping frames a lot. They might try to lower the bitrate but frame drop is a combination of panning with rolling shutter effect and aggressive stabilization. I'm afraid that cpu can't do all those things at once. Maybe if you shut off stabilization frames would not drop off. Anyway so far ultrawide video is garbage, such a letdown for such a big sensor. Main camera is where it's best at, colors and contrast are dialed in properly. But overall these videos are nothing we haven't seen before from other phones. Still miles away from V60 8K quality. If it was that easy they would be all making dedicated video cameras, just shove in the latest and greatest sensor and there you have it, a top notch camcoder that sell for way less than Sony or Canon or even Panasonic. But it doesn't work like that.

        He clearly said it was running pre-release software and that these things would be fixed with updates.
        Do you even know how bad the Exynos video recording was compared to Snapdragon 888 on the S21 Ultra??! That seems to be fixed now.
        Same will happen for Xiaomi.

I sold my S10e which was kinda perfect size for me and bought a S20 FE. the phone is great for the price, i got it with a super 2 years deal. but i think s10e was better in every way, just the battery. i am trying to find a reason to sell it and buy a phone with 5.8-6 inch size.

                        The only thing they can do is to delete their anonymous comments, but this happens after some time, not immediately.
                        The best solution is like I said, to protect ourselves. Just don’t enter in any dispute with them. If they want some normal discussion where people share their opinions, they should use their real accounts. But of course, they will not do it, because they are afraid they will get blocked.
                        Regarding your solution it could be something nice. But I think they already have something like that implemented. Is just not for one comment, is for couple of anonymous comments in a short period of time. But after that time passes, sadly they can again post something.

                          Well, hope arena can do sth about that and protect us registered users from their anon baiting, cause they flood the comments section.
                          Maybe a "one post per day from an anon ip" rule or sth.

                            [deleted post]Be careful with this anonymous people. They usually have real accounts, but they just post in anonymous in Sony and Apple related posts (Samsung sometimes too), to instigate and make you reply to them.
                            They get their comments deleted but you get your account blocked. They are usually Chinese brand fans that do not accept or understand that other people have different opinions than theirs. Basically they deny every other brand except Chinese brands (mostly Xiaomi).
                            I stopped replying to them or be interested in anything they have to say. I just ignore them.

                              Kriegsherr, 15 Apr 2021Tbh flagships are in general never value for money. Flagshi... moreWhilst I generally agree midrangers are better value for money, Im more prone to giving same, or somewhat more amount of money for some 1-2 yr old flagship model, and use it for some 4 yrs, especially if its battery health system is certifiably up to it. Midrangers do have their shortcommings, especially in performance, build quality and cameras, which is why I prefer those flag models more.
                              This year tho, had extra cash and went out of my way and bought a pricy flag for full release price, but dont mind it at all, as it is a superb device, and I got premium wireless earbuds with it (which I intended to sell, but kept anyway).
                              I guess it all depends on ones cash status in the timeframe of needing a new device.

                                phones are really media entertainment devices nowadays, for me at least, i rarely use my phone for taking photos of the things around me so if this has high pixel density, and really good speakers then it should be a good phone for me.

                                  Smithravi, 17 Apr 2021Sony is not trying to impress Xiaomi or anyone else except ... moreThere is no doubt in any sane mind that Sonys top offering here is among the best this year, and even if pricy like all premiums of other brands, not at all overpriced when compared to other.

                                  And for people searching for sth actually different in premium android world, it is the best offering.

                                  So leave these trlls claiming some X OEM can make the same for half the price, yet actually offers same premium for same price, in their fboy delusions.
                                  Their persistance speaks for itself.
