Had Z3. I love Sony products. But phones aren't that good. Update support is worse than Samsung. But I love Sony headphones especially XB series.

For oled screens, when you reduce pixels they generate less light.
They had to remove periscope to fit the 1" inside pro-i , imagine inside smaller body. There is no way.

It is a fact. Proven already by sites like Notebookcheck.
Deal with it.
Screen quality =/= high peak bright + vivid colour.

Them making them absurdly over priced while cutting so many corners is just scamming and thievery.
It's called knowing your needs and having proper expectations.

If I'm spending top dollar on a device, I expect it to have the stuff I need so I can be happy with the device for years to come (unlike people here that change their phones every year or two). I'm giving my money to companies that actually listen to the community that isn't ready to compromise. If I have to spend more money than usual for said device, so be it. I may be in the minority but in case Google, Samsung, and Motorola don't realize it, I'm never going to be their customer until they stop making stupid moves and offer something that works for people like me and my wife.

If anything, it shows you have high(er) standards and work hard so you can get the finer things.
Feel free to settle with whatever YOU want. But don't tell others what to do with their money, choices, and criterias.

Dimensions are smaller than the 5 III by quite a bit but still they need to make a proper compact like the old days....

It's fine to have high standards, but you have to know which compromises you can live with or else you'll never happy with what you have.

My last phone that was near perfect to my needs still lacked one thing I wanted but never got, good update support.
I am a tech fan, but there is something called "demanding too much", the current smartphone market is worse than few years ago functionality wise, but even 5 or 7 years ago there were people that were never happy.
- it's too big
- it's too small
- the battery sucks
- poor update support
- poor audio quality
- the screen is not SRGB
just a few of many thing I remember people complain back then and some even apply now.
My mom got a iPhone 13 Mini because she demanded a phone that is small and has good update support, but she absolutely didn't want a iPhone because "expensive" (even while I was paying it for her...)
In the end she got the 13 Mini and is happy now, because I told her "listen, these are your options" and she said "all are too big or have bad update support".
And I was like "you have to pick out what you care the most about, drop at least one of your demands because the phone you want doesn't exist".
It's like that one friend of mine still using his LG V10 because he demands his new phone has a 3.5mm, good audio, clean OS, is Android, has a sd card slot, has a high end camera and chipset and is under 500 euro.
If he would drop that last thing the issue is kinda solved.
If he drops other stuff he could find a good phone too.
Anyhow this post is getting kinda long, but in essence some people are too demanding and unrealistic.

- has much better calibration than S22 Ultra
- higher flickering frequency (480Hz vs 234Hz)
- higher brightness uniformity across screen surface
- less reflections levels
- better viewing angles
- higher contrast and DR
- higher colour gamut (BT2020 vs DCI-P3)
While samsung brags about peak brightness of 1700 that phone is not capable of achieving unless 99% of screen is black with small white dot.
Sony uses better screen than Galaxy S.
One Plus uses better screen than Galaxy S.
Oppo uses better screen than Galaxy S (same used by one plus actually)
Xiaomi uses better screen than Galaxy S.
Vivo uses better screen than Galaxy S.
Same applies to iphone. But at least calibration is better than samsung.

Will it catch up to current phones in key aspects like displsy "aside from resolution", speakers, camera, and battery?
Or will they keep cutting costs in hardware and software while charging more?
Will it actually be available to get at carriers and stores?
Or will they keep cutting costs on marketing and carrier promotions/availability while charging more?
So far the past couple years everything from the $2500 pro, $1300 1 iii, and $1800 pro 1 all only matched the galaxy s4-s6 in brightness. And only matched other devices from like 2-4 years older in camera, battery, and speakers. Except the pro 1 for main sensor.
While also saving millions on marketing and availability. And while despite cutting so many corners across the board even compared to other people cutting corners and cheaping out they want to charge exceedingly higher prices even compared to the most over priced ones out there.
