Alpha, 11 Jul 2021The thing is...thats your Opinion. Sony sold 2.9 million smartphones last year.
Samsung was around 290 million, Apple with 210 million, Xiaomi with 145 million.
Total number of Android phones sold = 1200 million.
Sony sold less than 0.24% of the total number of phones sold. It's not an opinion but Sony is largely irrelevant is true

    Anonymous, 11 Jul 2021What you're saying is contrary to what every reviewer ... moreThese Sony guys are used to being patted on the back for the lies they spread about other manufacturers, in their Sony echo chambers on this site. Then they get a reality check, when people don't respond to them the same the way, they used to in those Sony echo chambers. These guys come out of the woodwork on every Xperia review. They can be largely ignored.

      S21 Ultra, iPhones 12 pro Max, Xperia 1 III all suffer from throttling and lower frame rate in certain games, where Chinese flagships giving better performance.
      Ufs 3.1 storage speeds of phones like Vivo OS faster, camera performance is faster, sustained performance is better. OS is mature and diversified enough

        Anonymous, 11 Jul 2021Most inaccurate statement in this entire comment sectionIt is indeed true.
        We aren't living in year 2013-14 anymore

          Tann Hauser, 11 Jul 2021I cant see those miles you talk about in factual samples I ... more"Sony does equal or better quality processing, even in auto mode"
          How about you read my previous comments once again and take the points I made more seriously instead of insisting on claiming they are just "eye AF issues".

          "unable to take any scene to photographers liking and wants, just a finished product without any manual versatility"
          Then use the manual mode on Mi 11 Ultra if that's what you want???

                This is the most complete phone in the planet right now. Just don't read the naysayers then you'll appreciate it even more. Come Christmas time salesfigure of this phone will skyrocket. Time to sell my Note 20 Ultra and iPhone 12 and buy this monster.

                  Looking at how 10x zooms and foldables are now a thing, this camera specs would be great for mid-range. Point is vivo got 1.5 years old x30pro with jack + pro cameras for 1/4 of that price. In comparison in sony you get better localization, audio dac, processor and colors from camera, with vivo worthy hi res(among the best) in main and medium tele. Vivo also got eye af and raw in all fovs, so its basically cheaper clone of 1III with popular hi res but released sooner(lol).
                  Shame there is no new jack flagship from vivo now, but this is still a great lite alternative for those wondering.
                  Wish sony bring something ahead of competition, though it was worse in the near past, I still wish for some sony foldable with 20x zoom and jack, or something being less of 2 year copy of latest features.
                  If you shoot raw and want jack with DSEE this is the best option(well, for money no object).

                            Crazy, 11 Jul 2021Hate comments about Sony they never use Sony smartphone tha... moreIndeed. I like Sony but not for nothing. Used at least four Sony phones the Xperia Z and Z Ultra, the SP and T2 Ultra. In fact my first phone was a Sony Ericsson Walkman so I can say their phones are likeable, and their smartphones are not bad at all. Not upto everyones liking but of course not bad. Prices are a bit higher than other phone but a lot of phones are overpriced today so it's just about which phone you decide to spend on. iPhones are terribly overpriced but at least I'm not one of those people to buy an iPhone. That would be embarrassing

And this was just a weird choice, 'cause "4K on a phone is a waste and totally stupid. It would be extremely hard to notice the 4k benefit on a 5.5" screen, you can't notice the difference in 4k until you get to above about 32 inches! Nobody looks at their phone with the screen 2 inches from their face! The 4k phone screen is just purely for marketing as there is absolutely no benefit in screen quality, in fact it actually INCREASES cost and DECREASES battery life!"
