AnonD-731363, 19 Dec 2021Looks interesting but since MI 11 ultra cost 1000 bucks les... moreYou are sadly right. This guy knows a lot about videography, but too little about smartphones. Why should he though, he has actual professional gear.

    Anonymous, 20 Dec 2021Shows the BS that these copycat, greedy manufacturers feed us.Funny part is the fact many brands charge over $100 difference between 128 and 256GB variants, when these 128GB extra does not cost any near this.

      Sony is really trying to shove this abomination. Come on. No professional will use 2k dollar phone for any videos or photography professional work. Its not even the best camera,phone out there it easely gets destroyed by 1k Mi 11 Ultra. Sony is a joke.

            Anonymous , 19 Dec 2021Not the same. This is for professional only, so don't ... moreMan i am not offended.
            Even most proffesional people claimed Mi 11 ultra is the best camera phone money can buy.
            Sony does same tricks for 3 times the money in camera segment.
            In many else such as charging battery capacity disk space etc Mi 11 ultra beats Sony.
            Only thing Sony have better is a bit better screen bit better audio and IPXX resistance which have zero value in any phone or brand as long as the phone or brand wont give you water damage warranty included in IPXX rating.

                He is the one that thinks a $450 retail price phone has exactly same hardware of a $1300 retail priced phone. And according to him difference is profit margin per unit only ..
