Reds, 04 May 2023Yups the camera is also sharper than the S22U although not ... moreIt's not sharper. In fact it's because the s22v is more over sharpened so it is sharper than Sony. But Sony is still over sharpened too. Just a little less so.

    Reds, 04 May 2023And it's not just a few things better than the xs. The... moreBattery life is only barely better than xs but that's because it has a bigger battery.... barely... even though you're comparing a decently bigger phone. But in some endurance ratings not better. Screen is higher resolution but that doesn't make it better. It must certainly is not better in speakers or camera either. In manual controls maybe but not auto mode and that is a big factor.
    It's mainly better because you're comparing it to an iPhone.

      Reds, 04 May 2023Sorry it's not 650 but 1000. And 2 if we are talking a... moreNo the $2500 pro matched the 8 year older galaxy s4.
      The next ones up matched the s5 and s6 going up to 650 but that depending on the app and screen mode you were in.

      None of them go above that. Like 660 only in certain apps and screen mode at the max limit on sunlight. Not the $2500 pro, $1800 pro i or even that 1 iiii or iv.
      I'd love for you to show them reaching 1000.... or even over 700.

        Reds, 04 May 2023Ok I agree but still it shows you that the Xperia wasn'... moreIn some aspects they are 2-4 or more years behind.
        When the $2500 pro came out it was behind in many ways compared to my 2019 phone. Then so was the 1 iii and the pro 1. Now the 1 v and iv are a little less behind and finally catching up more and of course a little less lacking compared to my 2019 device.

And 2 if we are talking about 8 year old phone then the Samsung S6 Edge is the one to go and oh guess what the Xperia goes up to 1000 nits? The s6 edge is only 650. Damn really lagging right? And again higher brightness isn't better screen! There is more that just brightness

And I agree we can't compare auto vs manual this means we can't say the iphone is better than the Sony because each one has its pros and cons.

Just because their display is 4k doesn't change the fact of how far behind overall they are. Or incredibly behind their brightness is at 450-650 nits matching 8 year older phones.

The 1 came out the next year. And very few things on it would be considered better than the xs. The thing that makes it better mostly is because it's not an iPhone.

                            You can't compare auto mode manual controls. If you think that you clearly don't have relevant logic to speak on the photography, tech, or these phones.
                            And compared to other manual modes they are nothing special except a couple extra features. But nothing in quality over others.

                              Anonymous, 04 May 2023Twist all you want but if those but they are simply phones ... moreHow are they behind the competition? By offering the sharpest display on any smartphone? By offer 4k 120fps recording across all lenses (worlds first on Xperia), by offering 20fps burst shooting with Af/Ae? (Worlds first on Xperia), by offering 3.5mm jack? By offering true optical zoom (worlds first on Xperia), by offering eye auto focus (worlds first on Xperia), by offering manual controls which does indeed produce way better results than any smartphones? By making their 4k 120 fps file actually consistent? One plus offers 4k 120 on only 1 lens and even then the phone cannot maintain 120fps through the whole recording, Sony on the other hands offers this for all 3 cameras with no frame drops. You are also talking about brightness, to be honest brighter screen doesn't mean bad screen there are a lot more factors that comes into play when saying how good a display is. The latest Xperia has 1000nits of peak brightness which is good, it has a fantastic color accurate panel and it is the sharpest around. You will say it lags behind in battery life? Well a lot of reviewers said they can get a full day of moderate use and if I am not mistaken, the lastest Xperia 5 IV scored 116hours in the GSM arena batter test, the iphone 14 pro max (the current king of battery life), scored 121Hours. So yh I don't think they lack behind by 4 to 5 years

And I can say the same things from pretty much any phones. B Sony is marketing the pro mode not the auto mode. Meaning we should compare the strong point of both not just one to make it fair. And the Xperia 1 IV was sharper than the S22 U as well.

They are just lacking much more than they should and cost way more than they should. They cost more then they should even if they were even in most areas. And the fans are even worse than Apple fans and swarm every related article to deny every issue and defend them to the death.

                                      Sony has the potential, money, brand name and recognition, factories, and tech to be crushing the competition and making way more profit off it.
                                      But sadly they just drag along and holding everything back while charging to much.
                                      I like their ui, beautiful screens, design, ui though I miss the timescape one more so, accurate colors in photos etc.
                                      But why would I spend $1300 up to $2500 for a phone that I can't buy through my plan, might have some network band inconsistencies, and on top of it only matches our even falls behind my 4-5 year old phone that was already paid off??? Barely surpassing it in a few areas but behind on others.
                                      That's Ludacris. Taking that part in mind i would even be ok paying only $400-$500.

                                        And if you are more serious about your phones photography then you can get raw files and some manual controls on iPhone too.

                                        And on top of that you keep referencing the iPhone when it's pretty clear neither one of us consider the iPhone the benchmark in the first place. But since you can claim Sony doing better that's what you are defaulting to.
