My current ... moreMany people who had the S21 Ultra were disappointed with the zoom, because of the misleading commercial done by Samsung showing the 100x zoom. I've talked to many owners and they said they wouldn't have bought it if they knew it was only 10x optical and that it didn't have a Micro SD card slot or a headphone jack.

                Having a company controlled engineers or accountants does not create market share. Apple is marketing wizardry. Stealing ideas, creativity, hardware from the East Asians, to sell it back to the heavily taxed world.
                The main point in this OP, article, is that Sony has no marketing sense. Announce prices. Announce selling strategies. If launching slowly, nation by nation, like most brands do, then do not expect large market share.
                Lg's marketing mistake was being run by creative engineers, with poor market forecasting skills. Surprisingly Apple tricked everyone. Apple had everyone forget Screen-Body ratios, screen refresh rates, battery life, and software prices. Marketing was do good, that religion & fashion blinded & hypnotized everyone.

My current phone is the galaxy s10, as I was persuaded to try Samsung. I wish i hadn't. In my opinion, Sony phones are better, and have features that are more useful to me. My next upgrade in a few months will be the Xperia 1iii

                      That's enough. Your battery would die quicker before that 3hr mark.
                      Pretty sure most people can offload those files easily on a flash drive

                        Anonymous, 30 Apr 2021Oh man, reading through the comments makes me cringed. I... moreEvery company engages in marketing, even Sony. Their 4k panels aren't as bright in real life as in the commercials.

                        And people did not buy the S21 Ultra for 100x zoom, but they did buy it for that solid 10x optical and usable enough 30x zoom. Sony gets embarrassed in that department and multiple other areas.
                        People don't buy Sony phones these days for a reason.
                        Their preference for other Android flagships is for a good reason.
                        No amount of ranting from your side will suddenly make people appreciate Sony phones for all their shortcomings

                              Sony is really going gung-ho against Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max, Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, and Vivo X60 Pro+. Perhaps that Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra isn't that far off. This should be an interesting fight.

                                Anonymous, 30 Apr 2021Oh man, reading through the comments makes me cringed. I... moreThat is why now I don't look at the top brands when it comes to flagship-tier smartphones. I see less popular brands like Sony and LG can give much better-rounded hardware for the same or lower price. Now that LG has closed its mobile division for the time being, I am definitely eyeing Sony right now as a possible replacement.

                                    Oh man, reading through the comments makes me cringed.

                                    I'll say this here.
                                    Sony phones isn't for everyone, especially not for those dumdum. It's for professional users and those who values every aspect of their phone. A excellent screen, excellent speaker, fully manual cameras, longevity of the phone and just about anything in their phones. It is built with professional in mind(they even said it themselves on the presentation), not for your average usage like samsung and xiaomi do with their phones.

                                    I saw a lot of people boasting about how samsung and xiaomi have better cameras than sony. Have you guys ever used those phones? Do you guys think they promised on what they deliver? Look at Samsung's 100x zoom, the commercial video boasted about how clear and how far it can zoom, but in reality it's just a pile of hot garbage. And who uses them everyday anyways? Well thats a topic for another day.
                                    Well the only companies in the smartphone market that dont under deliver their products are sony, apple and lg(rip), only these 3 can deliver what they promised because they dont over promise stuff and people start hating on them(not apple though).

                                    There's one line in an article covering the wh1000xm4 i saw a few days ago and it perfectly sums up Sony's product. It says: "Sony products are for the "If you know, you know" category of people." Sadly, most people dont know.

                                    No im not a fan boy of any of them, i just cant stand people dont giving credit when credit is due and just try to hate on things for the sake of hating.

Also because I know it works well for capturing the sky in an early morning or taking a picture of a flower lit by a distant streetlamp without ruining the overall light balance of the scene.

                                      Yeah, NO.
