    And the issue is not that the demographic here is not who the review who should be displayed.
    The issue is that just like it has been for years that if its a Sony page it swarmed by fans acting as knights even worse than Apple pages.
    Where Sony fans cause issues and drag out comment wars by being die hard blind fans claiming everything Sony is superior and making up excuses for every lacking feature or dollar its over priced.

          Don't even have to read a single comment yet. Already know what's going on. A bunch of Sony knights are going around defending their leader and trying to give ridiculous made up excuses that supposedly justify the outlandish price. Or talk about how Sony created the world and everything is so much better on it....🙄🙄

There have been dozens of reviews before PCmag published theirs and none of them have exhibit bugs PCmag crew did. PCmag review was also last review in the line fro Xperia Pro which suggest they got some battle tested unit that was not even properly reset.

              Anyhow PCMag never bothered to turn on endurance mode for antenna boost and yet they talked about the reception.

                  Sony, Oppo, One Plus, LG, Xiaomi and Apple all offer better screen calibration.

                  Puchy , warm and vivid = low accuracy.

                  Issues to proper display white, green, gray and red. All have yellow hue.

I'm not a Sony fan at all but reviewing this phone is pointless when the demographic here isn't even Sony's target (save for those who are content creators that squeal looking at what this device can do).

                        True.

                        Look at the Sony 10iii, over 450 posts in 3 days.
                        Sony 1ii, 5ii had over 500 posts.

                              The last one was tablet with e-ink screen and pencil.
                              Sort of a electronic notebook.

That was what we have been told many times regarding this phone that pulls not just single or double duty, but quadruple, even quintuple duty for such a professional phone, and a very versatile one, can't be said the same for those mainstream smartphone we usually know all the time (as a smartphone, as an external monitor, as a decoder, as a modem, and as a power bank for the camera).

                                Those clueless people made their harsh prejudices without even knowing the background reason and audience of Xperia Pro (same for general Xperias that now even moving to a niche audience as well). No wonder Sony's discussion forum always blew up, where even the reviews of both XZ Premium and 1 II have the amount of 1233 and 994 comments respectively until now. Not even the Nokia N8 review comments made that far.

                                  TheGoldenMellifluous, 27 Jun 2021Considering the demographics audience of GSMArena has a con... moreThey don't understand who the target audience is and but only look at it as a phone. It wasn't even marketed as a phone only, there is a reason it has an extra port and is made from a different material than the usual flagship Xperias.

                                    AnonD-909757, 27 Jun 2021True, and I have noted that, often when camera are discusse... moreExactly

                                      Considering the demographics audience of GSMArena has a contrasting spectrum to the market audience of Xperia Pro that only approaching professionals, enthusiasts, and broadcasters all these times, I do have a bad feeling this might not end well for the results, but I'm looking forward how it fares though.

                                      And this is worsened by the fact that some people here don't even bother to acknowledge and research who, why, and what the type of characteristics of Xperia Pro. Like, some people already explained tens of times about that, here, there, and tech reviewers (Michael Fisher, MKBHD, Zack from JerryRig) even said the same thing about Xperia Pro's specialty status just looking at one glance, smh.

                                      Sure, it has some flaws, I get it, but being the only phone that able to do this, and even replaced an entire package of external monitor, decoder, and modem that possesses price tags higher than 2500 USD Xperia Pro, no wonder it's a big deal, and that's not even considering professionals have a lot of salaries in their pockets, then having cameras plus lenses that cost tens of thousands of dollars, making this is a bargain.
