[deleted post]Speak correctly otherwise you are another hater and f00l. You don't likeapple/samsung? Fine, but dont say stupid things like "duopoly or monopoly" that doesn't exists. There always more brands even in poor countries. Even USA people have other options like OnePlus, Xiaomi, Nothing, Honor.

    No wonder Ice Universe was mad.

        Meanwhile, LG V60 can steadily record 8K/30fps HDR10 video. I knew this because I tried out my friend's V60. It's such a crazy underrated phone that one.

              8k is pointless at this time as 4k is just starting to go mainstream, so maybe in the next 5 or 10 years it will be viable when 8k tvs become cheaper. Then again you will need atleast 75" or maybe bigger screen tvs to appreciate that 8k goodness & requires a huge room space to boot.

              Also useless if your phone dont have expandable storage(sdcard) as itll eatup alot of internal storage just recording a few minutes 8k vids.

I hadn't had a Xperia since Z5 Compact and I miss the clean Sony stock UI, but with time they cancelled all the app that were truly amazing. And now it's missing a lot for making a daily driver for my needs, sadly.

                We are at a time where we need to make concession, with a price that steep ... This shouldn't happen 😥

                In the end, we are frustrated about the brand, more than some 'fanboy' 😂

I have a Samsung but I would gladgly have a Xperia I if the price wasn't so steep and doesn't fit all my need. I alreadly make a concession of the MicroSD port since it's gone by a guideline of Google on Android ... Otyher thing is the software update, when you spend 1000+, you deserve a large amount of update in time.

                  Macro on UW is a possibility, when you cancel it, it's just to announce it back on next gen. I guess we'll see on ZenFone 11 😬

                  Think all you want, it's not you that is paying the smartphone, in the end it's my choice, and I would have took a Pixel if they weren't on Exynos, since I had a S22U that I sold after 1 week and kept my Note10+ before S23U, if you want to know all. Guess the 10x made it more for me than the MicroSD (And I even bought a portable SSD 2Tb USB C, imagine that! 😂)

                          I actually thought about getting Samsung Galaxy S23+/S23 Ultra because reviews say that 8k is actually good with those but after reading this i am just going to wait for Google Pixel 8&8 Pro.

                            I never update my phone so who cares.
                            "Security updates my balls" They only want to slower your device and damage it. And who am i protecting against ??? Fun youtube videos and tiktok. Security patches with hidden "patches" are just for people who browse ADULT videos all day long and download APK files from shady sources.

                              8k is so gimmicky in smartphones... just waste of storage space... 4k 120fps is more than enough
