Remember a few years ago when everyone was saying 2k on a phone is too much? Now every flagship has 2k. Sony went a step further with 4k, so you can actually see on your phone what you record in 4k. Also, a few years ago everyone was saying that having a 90Hz or120 hz display is a gimmick, now every respectable phone has it. Some even more!
The people that saying a feature is just a gimmick are thinking very 'inside the box', only because they are not using it, or their phone doesn't have that certain feature and love if they would bring back the they're simply jealous.
As a currently Samsung user, I would love a Note with a 4k display (plus the SD card slot).
Bravo Sony! Keep the others busy!

You get 10000 times better experience when viewing 4k content on big TV compared to a small smartphone.
Your noticeable difference between 1440p and 2160p on smartphones is irrelevant in this argument as a small smartphone will never offer the same experience as big TV no matter what the resolution.

Was a great phone - loved it. Had mine in Golden color.
Traded it for XZ Premium after my girlfriend sat in my lap while the phone was in my back pocket and that made the phone bend. Kept on working fine, though.

At that time costed 1500 euros which is typical Sony price but with battery it had it lasted only 45 minutes on a 4K display resolution until batery depkleted from 100% which was a huge fail.
Nowdays most phones casn last day or two on a 4K resolution.
But its Sony instead of making something usefull they unveiled overhyped phone for overhyped price which did not worked they way it could.
Its same like when TSMC unveiled M1 chips for apple.
Its a fastest chip on the paper but on a long run for example extensive 8 hours lng gaming of game like Clash of lords 2 at full details it throttles so much game is lagging after hour of playing,
Compared to that my Xiaomi Mi 11 lite 5G with 6GB ram runs pretty well even after 4 hours of gaming.

Alpha, 15 Nov 2021Stick to the brand that removes features one by one, every year!That just means both brands suck. One removed features and the other is behind in many technologies.

BBK is a private company, and I don't think in China they are legally required to publicise their financial statements - hence no document regarding their financial performance/status is available for us.
"looks photos of reviews and OP photos make scenes look like wax"
GSMArena's latest long-term review says otherwise.

There is something about the 4k 60Hz display and even 120Hz, even my 3090 can barely do that let alone a smartphone. Aside from that, nope, I can hardly tell anything above 1080, or even 60Hz for that reason.
