      Sony Xperia 1 III, Android 13 is very jaggery. Exiting apps leaves a shadow of the app for a second and then disappears. Not the best experience for the Xperia models.

        At least with the confirmation and official rollout of the Android 13 update for Xperia 1 III, it debunks the only 1 OS update that was wild back in 2021 for 1 III and doubts that still haunts it for years until the A13 is official.

No reviews yet about 1 iii or 5 iii update so I'm a little hesitant to proceed. If there are bugs worst case scenario there's always Xperia Companion 🤔 !!!

                    Installation was smooth, no issues at all. Maybe will notice something in a few days.

                        SuuperBaka, 16 Dec 2022"Man in case of claim even a singers use wireless mic ... moreThen you dont.
                        I was right and you were wrong.
                        Any talent show they use wireless mic.
                        Many singers uses wireless mic.
                        Same goes for wireless audio which everybody use.
                        If you dont own and dont have TV and never seen any got talent show or Xfactor, The voice etc well its not mine problem but yours.

                        If you cant afford TV i can lend you the money.
                        End of story and this joker like show where peon thus me outsmashed all so called kings. Means you and people like you.

                          SuuperBaka, 16 Dec 2022"Jack and SD slot. Since they are mecanical parts goo... moreMan you super oh funny but that was expectable from you.
                          Everything you said have its point but not value.
                          Mine had point and value.
                          By the way removing as you said I guess the USB port is also useless since it's good for catching dust and moisture. Just like the speakers. Maybe companies should start removing that as well. This should be agood idea. 2-3 years ago Meizu had a good plan to release Meizu zero but failed. Bet if company like Apple releases it all will follows.
                          Rest been said. Truth been said.
                          And for ignorant stubborn and hardrock head people i have no cure. They will just not hear which is not mine problem since i dont make phones i just sell.
                          And companies does exactly as they see and willing is better for em and for environment.
                          If the Jack and SD slot were so good they wouldnt try to remove them.
                          Since this is not the case prepare to say good bye to theses even on low grade 100 eur devices in a very close future.

                            Anonymous, 15 Dec 2022It isn't always true. Many wired ones are junk. But th... moreIn terms of specific things, yes it is true. Stability wired will always be better than wireless since it's directly connected to the device.

                            Obviously, there are other factors to consider, but most of the time wired is better than wireless.

                            In terms of convenience, wireless is superior to wired. I use my wireless headphones while going on a walk, but if I'm listening to music on my bed, I will use wired.

                                I guess the USB port is also useless since it's good for catching dust and moisture. Just like the speakers. Maybe companies should start removing that as well.

                                "They are bad for water resistance and thus got removed."

                                This is false. Sony has them and has water resistance, so clearly, that's not the case.

                                "SD slots i mean SD cards easily breaks when often used i mean plug in and out from the phone. So your data is lost."

                                SD cards don't break easily. Unless you are intentionally jamming it in, they don't break. I have no idea what you do with SD cards, but ordinary people don't break them easily.

                                "Just 5 years ago maybe 6something like Redmi 4X had 64GB disk space 4GB of ram and price of 160 euros."

                                Ok and? Nothing to do with SD cards or headphone jack. Also, 64GB is not enough, especially if you download FLAC files for music.

                                "TB is costly now but in like 3-4 years phones will have 4 maybe 8TB and even a low grade phone will come with 1-2TB of disk space."

                                This is just an assumption and until it happens (IF it actually does) this point can be dismissed.

                                "Thus the SD card is meaninggless."

                                They're not. You haven't actually provided a reasonable explanation on why they are.

                                "USB C adapter, OTG cable cloud storage and many else is a better solution to this problem."

                                Cloud storage is monthly and is still more costly than SD cards.

                                "Wirelless in terms of stability and in any other terms is better and it was few years ago depends on product you use."

                                Wireless in terms of stability is better? lmao, that's funny.

                                "Buying 2 eur wireless buds from Alliexpress or wish site is not the same like buying quality one from JBL or BOSE."

                                Doesn't matter what you get, wired will always be more stable.

                                "Noone takes me seriously here because people believes to a fake lies like wired is better when cables are first thing to breaks then your device is done for and your warranty is good for nothing since it was your fault."

                                Nobody takes you seriously because you don't understand how headphones work and make false claims without even backing anything up.

                                "Please if you really want to educate me be at least serious with your claims and stop writting funny oh looking nonsense."

                                Nice projection. The only one looking "nonsense" is you.

                                    none takes you seriously because of the fakes you believe in or the spontaneous comedic claims you make.

                                        If there's a better, cheaper alternative, 90% of people would just stick to those. And sometimes expensive = better but quality in wired headphones is much higher than wireless so yeah, companies have to force us to make wireless a reality
