        The PhotoPro is very attractive, we like to use as a lightweight mini-DSLR. This app cannot be found on other cheap phones.

          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'
          - a BIG NO. Lousy HDR scene detection, low quality x4.4 optical zoom, Portrait mode got no exposure correction, low quality intermediate zoom because of Bayer sensor used, underexposed most of the scene in daylight & indoors, inferior camera sensor size than others.

          'Only thing that saves Xiaomi is that Night mode, but thats the only thing it is, a fixed processing mode, unable to take any scene to photographers liking and wants, just a finished product without any manual versatility'
          - So you forgot other phones like Xiaomi has manual mode as well? In fact they can yield a way better result because bigger sensor are used. Xperia advantage only EyeAF & 20fps burst, regarding photography. I for one, would choose the bigger sensor over those Xperia's advantage. Most people in the world prefer it too. Sales do the talking. Sony fail at market understanding needs.

          'So, no, Sony is ahead in that regard most certainly'
          - Sony maybe better in other certain area, but in camera it did not.

            Meow, 10 Jul 2021What's the difference between both of them?The guy below me already answered it.

            But to be honest, the wiser decision is just get the last year 5ii lol 😌

            No huge different between 5ii & 5iii. 5iii only a bit better on performance (but SD888 also worse in thermal throttling), with additional telephoto FL (not a huge deal, really).

                Meow, 10 Jul 2021What's the difference between both of them?Smaller, no ToF sensor, no 4K, and no wireless charging while being cheaper and better on the battery life.

                                  1. 4K screen. Again and again, more of an e-peen vanity feature that is laughable for small screens >17"

                                  2. Let's call it; qcom fails at SD888 efficiencies paired with its 5G radio.

                                  3. Again as per no.1, 90Hz is the top sweet spot to go back and forth to 60Hz not straight from 120Hz.

                                  People essentially are dumb with these expensive flagships. MOBILE should mean good battery life npt the opposite.

The phone was super speedy and smooth and the battery lasted me all day 11 hours and still has about 40% left by the time I get off work. I use it for YouTube and Pandora alot during the day. So I would say that Chinese phone is a good value maybe does not outperform other top brands but same performance with half the cost.
