I don't even talk about one-two year old flagship smartphones (based on more than capable SD855 DS865 chipsets and also having all bells and whistles) which I can get for a fraction of price of Xperia 1 III right now. I think Sony is following LG steps right to the exit, just making it differently and possibly more devastating for themselves. They certainly will never get even 2% of smartphone market. No f.....g way!

VectorR, 18 Apr 2021$1,300 for the Xperia 1 III and around $1,100 for the Xperi... moreDid you want them to perform downgrades like samsung?
- No micro sd slot
- no earphone jack
- downgrade from QHD to FHD
- no accessories in the box
- cameras perform worse than S20 series
$100 cheaper than last generation.
Charger alone is sold for $35.
The S21/21+ exynos (sold everywhere except in 3 or 4 places) are worse devices than S20/20+ snapdragon.

$1,300 for the Xperia 1 III and around $1,100 for the Xperia 5 III???!!!! Generally the same old last year phones with minor improvement and even more expensive. And...you only might get one (in a handful of countries) sometime in the end of June or even July?! Sony gone completely mad this time! Good luck to sell even a fraction of them. :)

For different reasons my 2 favourite phone makers are Xiaomi and Sony at the moment. Xiaomi (including Poco/Redmi) make some great phones with great specs at great prices (compared to the competition) and Sony unashamedly does things their own way and makes imo some of the best looking phones out there.

Great phones that very few people will buy. Why? Simply because few months before mid-April and late-July is too much in today's world. You have to let people buy your phone when you announce it, otherwise hype goes away and people will forget. I don't know why Sony is doing this same big mistake year after year.

NOT with the elongated screen. The text looks small. Youtube videos with black borders on the sides. Social networks, look narrow.

From 71 to 104mm, it is digital zoom.
From 106mm , it is digital zoom ..
And obviously , digital zoom is always inferior to fixed focal length, otherwise Pro cameras would use digital zoom to extand range instead of relying on huge lenses and teleconverters.

"The dual tele camera sits in front of an impressive 1/2.9-inch sensor"
Keep in mind that the active sensor area decreases when you zoom digitally. At 240mm the active sensor area is just approximately 3.6mm² (the name of the type would be approximately 1/6.6" type).
It will capture approximately 23% less light per time from distant objects than the S21 Ultra periscope camera as the S21 Ultra periscope lens has a larger effective diameter: 6.25mm whereas the Xperia 1 III will have approximately 5.5mm
