I wish they made a 7 inch phone with a 4k screen. That would be so awesome.

Would always prefer Sony had it been available in India. But unfortunately it is no more available here.
My very first mobile phone was Sony Ericsson.
Even today I use Xperia Tablet for watching movies, though it is 6 years old now. No more updates.

Sony is like that weird kid doing sport activities at school. Everybody else is laughing of him because he is different, but he doesn’t care and goes in his own rhythm and style.
Joke aside, I am happy that Sony is still around in the mobile industry. Even though they are walking in their own way and appeal only to few people, they are a welcomed part of this industry.

The problem with them is that they seem to be good, but real world performance in most areas lacks behind a lot! They also barely seem to upgrade anything over the generations.
They need to actually catch up, but as long as they have their brand loyal fanbase it's enough I guess.

Pls keep in mind that these are not marketed at the average person wanting a premium $1000-ish phone (u r free to buy them but be realistic & stop complaining)
It was made very clear by them (including Exec. VP & President of Mobile Comms.) that it is for their "Communities of Interest" which straight off the bat is very much telling whom it's marketed towards.

Forget about Sony . It's expensive and and cannot compare to the flag phones . No matter camera zeiss or alpha mode . Sony biggest sensor manufacture can not make best camera phones . Phone is not just a camera but even Sony can not do it

If 10.3 hade 90 or 120 Hz then sure but now no. And i would never spend more than 400 euros on a phone.

I have never been liking sony smartphones for years. Sony xperia 1, xperia 5, xperia 1 II, xperia 5 II are bad phones. Screen aren't as good, design are dated, charging are ancient slow, battery life was bad, cameras are worse by a lot.Only thing good about it is that the design is premium, sony brand, headphone jack, microsd slot and the speakers are awesome.
But i think, based on the spec sheet of the Xperia 1 III and 5 III, i have high hopes that it will be good. But i need to see the reviews though to make sure :
1. If display is up with the best in terms of quality (not resolution and refresh rate)
2. If cameras were competitive in quality to other phones in auto mode
3. If the 30w charging is competitive with most midrabge 30W and Samsung's 25W
4. If the battery life is gonna be any good
5. If you can rely on this phone's camera in video and photos at auto mode every single time
6. If all the expensive thing is worth its value
I would rank it at 8/10 based on specs only, the only thing preventing me from thinking it was an good alternative to S21 Ultra and others is Sony's track record at making good phones that are competitive in all areas, and frankly, sony didn't impress me before. Hope this year they impress me.
Sure, it is expensive. But it offers something other phones don't, so i have no complaints.
1. Variable telephoto lens
2. Pro mode that is awesome but i will never use it though
3. Thick Front bezel to prevent mistouches
4. Headphone jack
5. Microsd slot
6. Sony brand for those fanboys
