Why dies Sony do this with the 10 series and with the 5 series so close in design and hardware why do they both exist especially with pricing too close to one another?

      And I'm not saying it just because it's Sony! Honestly, I don't even care about the aspect ratio. I love the compact form factor this phone brings. Hate the wide ones. I loved the size of Zenfone 9 and 10 and they weren't 21:9, but of course they had to duck it and bring that ugly slab called Zenfone 11 ultra nonsense.

        Hope it's capable of 4k recording, brought back LED notification & 3.2 USB DATA with Display out else I will stick to my Xpeira 10 III until it dies & move to another brand.

            Are you sire gsmarena?

            Imx582 has about 30mm2. Using 2x zoom is like having 7.5mm2 area.
            The previous was bit larger than this.

                      Super deal breaker.

                        Are manufacturers writing all product advertisements on these sites nowadays?
                        "comes curtesy of the new 4nm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1"

                        That is a two years old processor.

                        "The new phone has lost the dedicated 54mm zoom camera from its predecessor but should make up for it in a software-powered 2x mode from the main camera. Doing the math shows that the light gathering from the main sensor is superior to what the telephoto offered so it really shouldn't be a big loss."

                        Doing what maths? Cropping is cropping. It will never be zoom. Cropping to a fraction of the sensor size drastically _reduces_ the amount of light gathered. Not the opposite.

                                even SD7+ gen 3 is midranger wich double the performance of regular SD7 gen 3... still it's considered midranger by Qualcomm themselve. SD6 gen 1 is nothing more than a rebranded SD695 wich is entry level !

                                  Hemedans, 15 May 2024Probably you can't cool 7+ gen 2 in this body, 7 gen 3... moreWhy would you think the body size of the phone would cool the 7 gen 3 or D7200 if you think the 7+ gen 2 it can't cool ?

                                  Never mind that this phone is one of the largest 6.1 inch screen phones in the market

                                  Does the 7+ gen 2 even get so hot ? I dont know as i have not done any heavy task or played a game for hours to see the phone hot while i have a phone with that chip in it
