          But the Asus ROG Phone 5 was not there best spec version
          so no it won't be a gaming phone

          The tests are mostly just usable and speed in the OS and loading times
          it's great too see sony doing well in them tests
          Sony likely just has good fast storage

          Got 1 questions left on the table

          1 the maximum spec version of Asus ROG Phone 5 can Sony still win ?

          More Testing is needed

              As long as the Xperia PRO was the first and the best cooling system on a smartphone under 200 grams, it's no wonder this one can handle a lot of amazing surprises. AMAZING!

                    Reported:
                    Without the cooler 1 IV drops to 60-66% SoC performance.
                    With Stream cooler applied 1IV retains 95-97% SoC performance.

                        I really look this Sony just enable gamers too choice a gaming smartphone with Res quality screen

                        I read so many comments about people wanting Sony too just make a gaming smartphone

                        So now it's happening
                        If you're into 4k gaming this the smartphone for you

                        Some gamer's prefer screen quality over higher Hz
                        I do hope games run well enough and wish the best of luck too such gamer's

                        Game developers please make sure your games are well optimized and not too domanding and are playable on this smartphone

                        The 16gb ram seems reasonable
                        500gb storage at least a good start

                        Best sony smartphone ever I think
                        Sony really made A amazing smartphone this time

                          jeonbeom, 15 Sep 2022it released 1 month after announcement..subject to region..... moreIf late releases shouldn't get new SoC, what should? Early releases?

                            Anonymous, 13 Sep 2022Well I havent seen Samsung release their flagships so late ... moreit released 1 month after announcement..subject to region..releasing late dosn'e mean it should have a new chipset..especially when the improvement is so small..it makes 0 sense

                              Xperia FTW , 14 Sep 2022Watch speed test comparison for xperia 1III. It beats gamin... moreWell, yeah, Xperia is the fastest android phone in real life tests since three years ago.
                              But what Id like to see is graphic benchmarks of 1IV Gaming edition while in Performance mode of Game Enhancer.

                              It would certainly be interesting to see how its Performance gaming mode fairs to those topping graphic benchmarks of Rog Phone 6 Pro in its X gaming mode.

                              So far, and according to revs here, without that X mode turned on, 1IV performs better even with the older 8gen chip...Wonder what it would do in Performance mode.

                                Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is still terrible.

                                    Onanymaus, 14 Sep 2022My point exactly. The Gaming Edition is a half-assed effort... moreI would rather call it an optional effort to fill the premium gaming phone niche.
                                    Nothing half assed about it, they ve been developing the Game Enhancer app and been officialy sponsoring e-sports events with 1 series for over two years now, rounding up the all in one multimedia( gaming incl.) flagship phone, and now offer a cooling/streaming addon gadget to supplement it.

                                    They dont have a dedicated gaming phone model, they just implemented it into their flagship series.
