While Chinese manufacturers adopted the opposite strategy, limiting their profit margins and now they are ruling the smartphone industry.

A quick question about the sensors in the new range. I have a Mark I Xperia 10, so the logical upgrade would be the 10 III. My question, which is not answered on Sony's official specs page - do the models include a compass/magnetometer? Lots of other websites list it, including GSMArena, but according to Sony this is not a listed sensor for either II range or III. Instead, just fingerprint sensor is listed. Who is correct?

Even the Vivo X60 pro plus has better image processing than Sony.
A no name Chinese company giving better photo quality than Sony who manufactures most of the camera sensors. That's how bad Sony engineers are. Afcourse this applies to Sony smartphones not their mirrorless cameras.

Even this shot has corrected exposure by 0,67 so it was set manualy, and no muti-segment data.

Dont believe VectroR. I have check his pictures in house with program to read Exif data, some shots are not Photo Pro (no multi-segement data, no DRO) and some shots are made probably in M mode and + 1EV, like this shot (multisegment of, EV+1 - so it was set manual, it was shot in unknow mode):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachments/20210221_184433-jpg.5284959/
Once again you are fake man. Tell me man how its posible that in Auto mode in Photo Pro exposure is set to +1EV?

Most phones are using Sony's camera sensors anyway, self-sabotage is the only explanation for the difference in photo quality.

Sony's phone problems are something else: complacency. Since Sony is doing well in its other businesses e.g. gaming and cameras, it doesn't really care about its own mobile business. It has deliberately shrunk its mobile business worldwide to minimize losses.

If you want to sell your phone as an 'enthusiast' phone, don't be surprised it gets only an 'enthusiast' amount of sales.

Not clear fro... moreAll the flagship Android phones are capable of receiving FM radio signals, but they're disabled. No such problem in the cheaper phones.
It's an economic decision, not a technical one. They want you to buy their headphones, subscribe to streaming music etc.
