Same design for 3 years in a row is not a big deal but the same 12MP main sensor is an issue for me. I don't care that megapixels aren't important etc but I just want at least 50MP with 1/1.3" or bigger sensor for the money Sony wants for new Xperia.

    WinAnon95, 14 Feb 2023'But then charge more than Apple could dream' ... moreI checked the official RRP for both Xperia 1 iv 256GB and iPhone 14 Pro 256GB in the UK from the official website, and they are only separated by £99. I can't see any reason for me to get the iPhone with such a tiny price difference.

          The base 1 IV currently costs £100 less than the base 14 Pro. At least according to here, anyway.

              Imagine if Sony designed cars. I’m sure there would use wheels, engines … and … well at least those cars will always have headphone jacks. That should count for something! … Right?

                He had the audacity to argue that LCD is inferior to OLED under direct sunlight when all you need to do is crank the backlight for the LCD, while OLED will start to die out if you keep going.

                He doesn't understand that there are multiple factors involved when it comes to phones like software, battery, display type, etc, just looks at the brightness test by GSMarena and calls it a day.

                  You have no right to call someone tech illiterate when you literally argued about display tech without having any knowledge of the matter.

                  GSMarena is not the word of god, their tests aren't always going to be accurate, even though I believe they have good tests. Different websites have different tests, what makes GSMarena better than them?

                    How do you explain the difference between 1iii and 1iv when both use same screen? Near 300 nits difference.

                    The more you push oled brightness, the faster the organic componets age.
                    How do you explain flagships have more burn-in than midranges despite selling lower volume?

                        The 2160p is not mandatory.

                        Also, there is no 4K 21:9 without crop.
                        Do you want 5040 x 2160p? That is 5K .

                          14 Plus 128GB was 300 euros more than 5iv. What are you smoking?
                          In China, the 14 Pro Max 128GB costed more than 1iv 16/512GB.
                          In Taiwan, price difference is easily over 20%.

                          Only in USA, iphone is cheaper.

                            First of all, the 4k screen of the Sony phone is not for third-party applications.

                            This screen is only for the semi-professional photography APPS that it carries to have the best display.

                            This is a niche phone, it is not a phone for people or users of IPHONE or Samsung, who are looking for everything is chewed.

                            If you don't like complicated or don't know how to use it, turn around and look for another phone.

                              PRoArtsy, 12 Feb 2023Their CEO has already said they are waiting for a paradigm ... moreThat's completely false. All they are doing is ripping people off while shooting themselves in the foot year after year.
                              They've had the name, brand recognizing, money, factories, and tech to be among the top for many years.
                              Instead they have old farts making choices that have no idea what they are doing.
                              Instead of making lots of many and being one of the top recognizable phone brands like they could be they just choose to bottom dwell.
                              Cost cutting millions in hardware, software, marketing, and release. But then charge more than Apple could dream while falling behind the competition on most measurable fronts.

                              They are not doing the best thing. Only someone who is a blind Sony fan, tech illiterate, or both with think that.

                                  Minimal Bloat, no ugly notch, a headphone jack and a microsd card! Never change Sony! I'm sad they're the only ones who really do this nowadays but I'll keep sticking to them because of it

Talking of cars, the sales of Maruti Suzuki is one of the highest in the world, but Lamborghini, Bugatti, etc is what dreams're made of.

                                    Not just phone, in any industry, the maximum sales just define the "Sheep product", not the dream product. Being a part of a crowd, is not what dreams are made of.
                                    Go ahead, check Google if you don't believe me.
