Because if you did you wouldn't be talking about nits and pixels but rather how creamy image reproduction is when you watch images and videos on it, especially animated features.

And trust me you would be noticing it cause I have iPhone Instagram users who are absolutely clueless about color science or display properties telling me how colors look good on my phone when I take a picture of them. No Samsung display can come close to such creamy reproduction, Samsung image on display is like infused digital boost of saturation, vividness and high contrast.

When it comes to screen brightness 1IV/V has one of the highest sustainable brightness right now. That means brightness in manual mode which can hold the brightness level infinitely unlike auto brightness that is very time limited.

    What about:
    - Night photo (not manual, auto!)
    - Bring back the notification LED
    - Telephoto lens on the Xperia 5
    - Super Macro mode on the Ultrawide lens
    - Quad-DAC
    - Stop regression from the II series basic camera app (?!) It doesn't make Pro app "pro".
    - Sony's own Album app
    - Allow multiple audio sources

    SUPPORT:
    - Port new apps and software features from newer Xperia
    - 4~5 years of OS updates & security

    Price:
    - Pricing the phones correctly, Sorry but youre not Apple/iPhone and Samsung/S-Ultra series. Example in price of Xperia 5 V you can get Honor Magic 5 Pro

      [deleted post]For "what they offer" they didn't worth the Costs.

      I don't throw hates on any brand but their worth in relation to my needs, determines who takes my money

      Don't get me wrong here, I prefer Apple for it's cool and easy photography features plus the easy OS but it's incomplete to me that I can't just bear after spending much on it.

      Then Sony always gets my praise for been great in the industry, improving so much techs other than phones but very poor when it comes to the mobile world competition. (seriously they made Apple great, but they aren't enjoying the juice they made).

      A true old timer here on this site can assemble my words and pick out my point of view... Not just arguments, give a good point of reasoning or probably a straight proof rather than just throw hate on a brand like Samsung.

Their hardware is top notch yes, but the software is absolute garbage on fire. I currently own Xperia 5 II and I don't think I'm ever buying Sony phone again.

                        Great thing, but editing is what's popular today.
                        Hope they don't forget that too while they invent something minority will use.
                        AI can help improve photography quality too.
                        Colors with Bayer filter were always somehow guesswork, all depends on how is tech used.

                          Why not focus on making the Xperia line more accessible to every day people like getting the phones in at least one carrier store and doing some marketing for once.

                            Reminds me of the Leica Q11-P with Content Credentials. Wonder if Sony will use that standard or will they have their own standards. Probably the former, possibility of the latter. Well only time will tell.

                              Ravenowl, 26 Nov 2023And the purpose of that signature is what? Utterly meaningless.To stop fakes duh. Do you even read bro?

Guess you don't know what the issues with the imaging industry now and how AI is making fake pictures everywhere. Maybe start reading about content credentials for once. And stop believing that Samsung reinvented the wheels or something. Nothing useful out of the same generic slab of phones but always good for simpletons like you.

                                  oodav33, 26 Nov 2023The Mobile Communications revenue for the second fiscal qua... moreThat's never been an issue. Simply because they probably have some kind of solid backing that lets them pump Xperia's year after year.

                                    the only thing they should be offering is their phones global at a reasonable price

                                      Ravenowl, 26 Nov 2023Lol what. Samsung is just the cheap mainstream garbage. ... more"Samsung is just the cheap mainstream garbage. Mediocre software with more or less top end hardware"

                                      Really?
                                      I bet you have no solid proof of this, probably it's your personal experience.... But if you have the Ca$h buck$ and really want to know much about Samsungs then, I think the story will be different entirely.

                                      You don't have to believe me on this, but I will tell you something, I don't rely much on reviews, I grab what I want (switching from one brand to another) and see if it matches my daily tasks.

                                      TB frank, Apple can't match my daily tasks, due to too many security issues here and there, alot of restrictions, I prefer a low end $150 device compared to iphones. (I'm not just speaking, I'm saying this from experience. My last device b4 this was the iphone 12)

                                        GS88, 26 Nov 2023Hi Sony, Please bring back the 960fps superslowmo, And ... moreAre you crazy about 8y support???
                                        Nobody will offer that. If people will keep phones for 8 years, all companies will be out of business
