Anonymous, 23 Jun 2021I don't get is that why people don't say the same... moreThe S21 Ultra 256 GB is now about $900. By the time the Xperia 1 III is released, you should be able to buy an S21 Ultra at about $8xx.

      Dometalican, 23 Jun 2021.....S21 Ultra got rid of the MicroSD card slot and dropped... moreIkr! At this point, the only reason why I would buy a flagship Samsung phone is because of Samsung DeX. As for the camera, I'm still not impressed by its image processing algorithm.

          Sony : - It is $1300 with earbuds or headphones as pre-order gift. Also inside box you find charger and earphones.
          Haters: - too overpriced

          Samsung : - $1300 , no gifts. Also no accessories. And sd slot is removed. By the way, You can get charger for $35.
          Sony Haters: $50 cheaper than last year, great. 😍

          Apple: $1300 (up to $2400 in other locations), we will never offer gift. And we are removing all accessories that you can here buy for more than $50 each.
          Sony Haters: We love Apple , so generous to nature. 🥰

          For those that do not know, 1iii 256GB is $1350 in China.
          Still cheaper than iphone 12 pro max 256GB. Also cheaper than S21 Ultra.

            At the end of the day it's about profit and Sony is making profit right now. Sure they get outsold my most companies, but they still complete their main objective which is making profit

              People don't understand that this is the best phone you can get at this size. Usually companies strip off features like a telephoto camera, reduce the screen resolution and RAM capacity on their non-ultra phones

                    Anonymous, 23 Jun 2021If someone is spending 1000$ and above on a flagship phone,... moreIf I spend a $1000 on a smartphone, I want a complete package with every single feature available. I don't want to spend $1000 on a smartphone and then spend more on accessories. That is daylight robbery in action.

                      About time.. I really like Xperia flagships and all, and I'll be pre-ordering this phone, but Sony really needs to start releasing their phones earlier in the year when the processor is still new.

                        Anonymous, 23 Jun 2021Mine is 20.7MP 1/2.3". Why would I want 1/2.6"? ... more'Mine is 20.7MP 1/2.3".
                        Why would I want 1/2.6"?'
                        - so u literally forget about Xperia 1? I know u defend them last time, like u always did. Still stick with those abysmal Sony 1/2.3" sensor huh? Well I ditch it years ago. Felt a lot better. Back in the days, no Alpha camera department get involves, the processing are very very bad.

                        'By the way, I'd rather have single cam like R6 than multi small ones'
                        - to each its own.

                        'When Sony had 20MP, you all said 8 were enough'
                        - Sony itself makes the 8mp default in Auto because to control noise.

                        When Sony had 23, you all said 12 were enough.
                        - Sony itself makes the 12mp default in Auto because again, to control noise.

                        Dont care so much about selfies.

                        I never complains about Sony screen ratio or resolution, just a tiny bit about its nits brightness, which already improved in 1iii.

                        'Why dont you complain Samsung and Apple have 1/1.7" and 1/1.8"? You have not answered'
                        - Clearly u've missed it. Already answered about Apple. About Samsung, please compare it with Ultra series as they in the same pricing segment.

                        'If you had any knowlege about photography, you would know that there are trade offs. You were the one that wanted Sharp to use 24-26mm instead of 19, despite the fact the module would be even bigger at this focal length. Just proves you know zero about subject'
                        - I stand with my point. So u forgot about Panasonic CM1? 1" with 28mm? I dont care if its bigger because it is better & suites my genre. Plus with today's smaller components, it will be thinner than CM1, put it at 24mm, it'll be more thinner. So who is out of subject now, huh?

                        Bare in mind that my statements before are not demands, just a suggestion to make it better & stay competitive because I'm still a fan of Sony, for years, up until today. The difference is I'm not a blind one.

                          jayDAWG, 23 Jun 2021According to sales and past history, 90% of people will buy... moreGoogle pixels are sold in only 9 countries ; apple ; Samsung ; sony are sold all over the world. If google was interested in sales number ; they will sell it all over the world like the rest . I always had to buy my pixels from different countries ; and it always been like that for all the pixels.
                          Pixel 5
                          Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Japan, Taiwan, United Kingdom, United States

                            VectorR, 23 Jun 2021"why would wired headphones sell more than wireless he... moreThe wireless headphone can only beat cheap 10$ wired headphone.

                            For the same price of TWS, wired headphone will crush TWS without mercy.

                            Don't spread wrong information.

                            Bluetooth headphones will never ever be as good as wired counterpart.

                              Shui8, 23 Jun 2021Ahh this is dejavu all over again. When Sony using 1/2.6... moreMine is 20.7MP 1/2.3".
                              Why would I want 1/2.6"?

                              By the way, I'd rather have single cam like R6 than multi small ones.
                              Ultra Wide is the most waste of space. Nothing more stupid than pixel peel photos of a 13-16mm camera, if you want to see details well, you should not use this focal length to begin with.
                              But not even RX100 mark 7 can do stuff Xperia now does. Because larger sensor, despite the DRAM inside.

                              When Sony had 20MP, you all said 8 were enough.

                              When Sony had 23, you all said 12 were enough.

                              When Sony had 13MP 1/3" selfie, you all complained that 7 were enough and small bezel was more important. Now complain about 8, despite it is consequence of small space available.

                              When Sony had 1080p, you all said should have been QHD like Samsung. But still defend chinese phones today that come with much larger screens but still FHD.

                              Why dont you complain Samsung and Apple have 1/1.7" and 1/1.8"? You have not answered.

                              If you had any knowlege about photography, you would know that there are trade offs. You were the one that wanted Sharp to use 24-26mm instead of 19, despite the fact the module would be even bigger at this focal length. Just proves you know zero about subject.

                              Except the ToF, cam system of 1 and 5 are equal.
                              Why dont you demand other brands to do same?
                              Not fair the Pro (that has nothing Pro about it) always have more (main cam larger or better ultra wide or longer periscope) than non-Pro.

                                    Haters can cry the Pacific Ocean.

                                    1ii = 20% more expensive than 1, still outsold 1.
                                    1iii = about 10% more than 1ii, so far is selling way more than 1ii in China.

                                    Series 1 sells more than Series 5 that sells more than Series 10.
                                    It is going exactly as planned.
                                    This is what LG should have done, trying to sell more G and V instead of K and Q.

                                    Instead of crying, haters should thank Sony for keeping similar prices across the markets, unlike Samsung and Apple that charge in poor countries 50-100% more compared to rich nations.

                                    I wonder why many markets pay $1500 for the same iphone sold for $800 in USA.

                                      if we take for eg S21 U is a direct downgrade from S20U aside from VRR nothing is added to the table all downgrade starting from slower charging ...

                                      people say S21 U will be 800$ by the time 1 III is released by they forget that 1III is 256Gb .
                                      so as of the today 1III is a better than S21 U at same storage .
                                      Pros for Samy is longer software support , dex ,8K vid,VRR QHD+ ...
                                      for sony you get Micro SD , 3.5mm ,4K120hz notchless , 4K 10bit 120fps Vid ....
