    Haters think money you cant earn money unless you sell huge volume.
    Tell that to LG, that used to sell 10x more at least comparedmto Sony.

    Difference is when 1/1ii/1iii are main seller of Xperia, at LG was K series.
    Asus no longer has low ends, just Zenfone and Rog.
    Same for Meizu (no phone below $500).

    Sales alone mean nothing. Do you think all of BBK brands give profits? LOL

          I would have been all over the Xperia 10 III if it was n'tstuffed full of Google's geeky horribly designed stock apps. Shame Sony got rid of their own apps which were much better.

            GAMIRSFM, 29 Oct 2021No, 21:9 implies that is wider than 16:9 horizontally right... more5K 21:9 is 5120×2160, Ultra-Wide 10K 21:9 is 10240×4320 so your workings for 4k 21:9 at 9102x3840 are waaay off. 3840×2160 is 4K at 16:9, 4K is 3840×1600 at 21:9 so Sony Xperia's 4k is(unnoticeably)higher than that at 3840x1644

              and we will never see xperia being on top...
              it was already announced when they changed management (thus naming also changes from xz and xa to 1, 5 and 10) that they dont aim the top, but they aim to satisfy their fans...
              i was thankful about that statement, that i bought the xperia 1 ii, upgraded from z5 premium...
              am not sure when is my next upgrade, but knowing they are here to stay means my next personal and work phone will be sony (felt sorry about lg though, since i am an lg fan)...

                Its most desirable in some uses, like these:

                    Lets hope Sony adopts that policy for all future releases from now on.

                      they want not to have profit or else they would restart selling their phones in middle east and africa again

                          Only limit to their growth is low production and late availability.
                          If their phones were available in a month after announcement - sales would be 10 times higher.

                              Keep the 3.5mm jack & expandable storage to boost sales.

                                Then an real 4k 21:9 resolution is 9102x3840. Because 21:9 in 1080p is 2560x1080 and then 16:9 is 1920x1080.

                                  GAMIRSFM, 29 Oct 20214k display. I mean, 1440p since is an OLED screen should be... moreThe screen is real 4K, the aspect ratio of 21:9 is the reason it is 1,644 vertically. If you watch a movie on a 4K TV (most movies will be in 21:9 ratio) you would be viewing it at 3,840 x 1,644 not 3,840 x 2160 as the black bars would be taking up the other 516 pixels. So yeah, it is real 4K at that aspect ratio.

                                    I wanted to buy 10 III but since it was only 60hz and slow 7.5w charger OnePlus got my money instead.

                                      I like their phones very much, I haven't had one for a few years but I do like where they are going and will get another one day. Sadly the Z Fold 3 is calling out for me so Sony will have to wait for my money.

                                        Zwinter, 29 Oct 2021OK and!?? I'm trying to understand your point here ... moreMy point is that when people say that "no one will buy Sony phones," it's a hyperbole. They don't literally mean it. They mean that they won't sell well, and they're right.
