Kriegsherr, 11 May 2022Yeah, it does. the only problem is the price. while S22 ult... moreNot sure the point is to sell a lot.
Sony is not as famous as Samsung for example. People buy samsung mostly for the brand, I'm not talking about tech people, but common people don't really look at the spec, only the ads and the fact they have a samsung already and want a new one. The samsung interface is also a thing you don't want to lose if you're used to it.
Based on this, Samsung will always sell more phone than Sony, it would need Sony not only to have a lower price than Samsung, but also to bring something completely new and innovative and ground breaking to the market to gain more market share, because people are like "why change when I'm happy with my current brand?".
All this considered, it's easy to understand that for the two brands to be profitable in this market, the one that sell less has to put higher margin on its product. Sony has a core market that is pretty stable for years now, they definitively target people that can make 1500 into a phone. (and being the first time I'm fully happy with a phone for a whole 3 years, with the 1 mark I, I'm definitively prone to put that sum into the mark IV, not more expensive than when I bough huawei every 18months).

In entertainment electronics and particularly in mobile phones, I support the only Japanese brand in Europe (Switzerland): Sony. I own the Sony Xperia 1 III and will immediately purchase the Sony Xperia 1 IV in purple or white as soon as it becomes available. I hope soon available. Congratulations Sony.

Your only chance is to wait for Xperia 5 IV since Sony is still keeping that configuration for the smaller model.

I wish the continuous zoom was on the main camera as 24mm is too wide and there's nothing in between. I understand the reason though because a zoom lens would reduce the max aperture.
I commend Sony for including a 3.5mm Jack and micro SD. Considering how big other Android phones have gotten, there's no reason not to have it.

Possibly the greatest flagship of all time. Literally ticks all the boxes. If only the price was slightly lower, A starting price of $1000 for a version with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage would have been amazing. Still hope people buy it tho.

What a brilliant phone all around. Display, camera, sound, design, battery. Damn near perfect.
Sony has been delivering the "True" flagships unlike other brands. Literally ticking all the boxes in the specsheet & not removing features just to follow other brands (SD card slot, 3.5mm jack, front-facing stereo speakers, etc).
Sony deserves far more sales & recognition than they get. I hope things start turning around for them soon.

Please do away with that useless ultrawide camera. The pics distortion is very bad, just do a pano sweep using the main wide 24mm camera.
The 3rd camera could use a 8MP macro OIS camera.
Yes the price is steep though for all the goodies here.

Sony would sell many more phones with a 1000 price point.

Xperia 5 IV has not been announced. Seems like Sony will do it in October 2022 like they did before with 5 mark 1 and mark 2.
