Anonymous, 02 May 2023Didn't switch anything. Just pointing out your own log... moreFirstly not all flagship has 1000+ nits of brightness. Secondly how is the front cam old? Its actually new. The rear camera aren't weak. If you say it is weak, then you didn't even watch the video I sent you cause I've seen Sony phones absolutely blow away the iphones and Samsungs. Speakers are better than most and on top of that it's screen is gorgeous

    SuuperBaka, 02 May 2023Now you switched to a different ID smh. "In that ca... moreDidn't switch anything. Just pointing out your own logic. In your logic a number of them at specialized though I think that's an exaggeration against all of them. Not just Sony. The difference is others have not been known for such severe cost cutting and over pricing news nearly as much as Sony. While being years behind in multiple fronts.

    A $2500 phone with an 8 year old screen brightness, in typical Sony fashion a last green soc "thank God they've steered away from that", speaking of two year older phone, connectivity issues, a small battery, not available everywhere and carrier issues for that, weak camera, outdated front camera hardware, buggy software, etc etc. But oh. It has 4k and 3.5mm with sd slot with a couple other things so it justified lacking all that.
    And the battery, brightness, and connectivity issues completely negate its supposed "professional" use case that supposedly justified its ludicrous price.
    And that's only some of the cost cutting.

        Wow, 350+ comments for an article about upcoming Sony smartphone launch? I don't have to scan all the comments to tell that almost 99% of it is about Sony being a joke. Please, dream on to see Sony smartphone dies. It won't ever happen. Like Google, Sony only cares about countries that can take them seriously. They don't care about countries where people are obsessed with ScamCrapple or Xiaomeme.

            "In that case other devices are specialized. Either way you're argument is invalid."

            You seriously need to work on your comprehension. My argument is NOT invalid, you being deluded enough to think that it is doesn't mean it's invalid.

            "They count the same as any other phone and are ludicrously over priced compared to others."

            No, they don't. They aren't regular flagships that the average consumer goes and buys. They are meant for a specific target audience.

            Gaming phones are meant for gamers, the phones are mainly used to play games which is why they having much better cooling.

            The PRO phones from Sony are meant to be used as an external monitor for your camera that can stream over 5G.

            Rugged phones are meant for people who are in extreme conditions and need a durable device.


            Phones meant for the average consumer like iPhones, Galaxy S series, Pixels, etc are flagships that are used in the average day-to-day life. They cover most aspects of what you need but aren't focused on a specific use case.

            "And those costing what they do and with their draw backs are already absurd."

            The cost is not relevant, that's not the argument. The argument is about flagship phones, not specialized phones.

            Sony's flagship phones are not priced $1000 over the others. Simple as that. My argument stills stands.

              [deleted post]Again. Never said they were not good. They are good. Learn to read.
              I like them. It makes it all the more upsetting how unavailable they are, how over priced they are, and what they've been behind in.
              Sony actually has the potential to be leading the way. The name, money, tech, power, factories, etc. Instead they just dragging behind because old timers making greedy poor decisions.

                  Reds, 02 May 2023Well the Xperia 1 has a similar brightness as the proStill brighter by about 200 nits in sunlight. And just using the phone is a different use case than the camera monitor use case of the pro. Where you'd be much more limited in viewing angles while trying to capture shots by the 450 nits. Which matches the brightness of 8 year older flagships.

                      [deleted post]Either way that doesn't make sony sharper. And sonys images are still over processed jpegs like the rest. Just slightly less so.
                      Their cameras are behind and have been for years.
                      The only true advantage they have is natural colors.
                      Their raws are no better than any other raw files. Their processing has been lacking for years. And I don't mean by one sharpening. It's just been struggling to catch up and find a good balance. And it's been taking them years to catch up in hdr and exposure control.
                      And being natural is not an excuse because again their images are still over processed and blown highlights are not natural.

                          Doesn't matter what others cost cut. They are not the point. The point here is Sony. And they cost cut more than others yet charge more than others. They are worse than apple in that regard. The phone is still better than iPhone obviously. Anything is. But non the less still doing even worse than Apple and samsung in that regard

                            But Sony plows over that with more cost cutting and draw backs and yet charged and outrageously higher price.
