Anonymous, 07 Jul 2021Not as good as the S21 Ultra or Mi 11 Ultra or Vivo X60 pro... moreIf only these phones had not curved screen, or notch, or big round corners or weird UI. A mix between the Mi11 ultra cam and everything else from this Mark III would have been a dream phone for me. Guess I'll just have to forget about getting a new phone this year or even the next one and wait for the trend to change.

    «21 Ultra for the same price will give you all better cameras, it will give you a better screen, despite not being 4K, cause it“s bigger, much brighter, it will give you a better software, it will give you a better battery life, it will give you faster charging and will probably give you more softwear updates…“

          Also it's a test that doesn't stress the cpu much for longer periods which is why on Antutu and other stress tests which take longer times, certain CPUs like Exynos and A14 get exposed

            i find it interesting that the mi ultra is recommended over this. ive a mi 11 ultra and the camera is garbage for the price. the phone itself is fine, other than all of the xiaomi privacy issues, but i definitely would not buybit for the camera. my pixel 5 with its simpler cheaper camera makes better shots every time

              Another battery failure

                  Jack Brazil, 07 Jul 2021Sony also lagging in terms of signal. My s21 ultra works to... moreLol that's nonsense. I have the Xperia XZ1 COMPACT, my wife has the Xperia 5II, the smartphones connect perfectly and without worries, to the speakers SRS-XB12, XB31, XB43 and to the bluetooth headphones MDRXB950B1 and WHXM4. Either your problem is isolated and you're trying to generalize it or you're just a big liar.

He gets so many stuffs wrong in this section only it is just ridiculous.

                          Tann Hauser, 07 Jul 2021Dont start making up things now. He cleary tested it, as... moreYou are missing the point. He used a wrong instrument to measure the screen luminance. The one that was shown in his video is for an ambient lighting, and this is not a good sign because internally different equations are used to calculate the radiance(nit) from luminous flow(lux) between a proper display luminance meter and an ambient luminance meter, where the the former is a straightforward 1:1 conversion while the latter has to use a scale factor of pi. Go to the product page of the lux meter he uses in the video and you will see that it is clearly not intended for a screen brightness measurement.

                          Not being intended for this purpose also implies that even after manually converting the displayed lux values into the actual nits, he still might end up having unreliable results because the ambient lights can still creep in from whatever the gap that exist between the meter and a display. A display luminance meter avoids this problem by completely enclosing a portion of the display and minimizing light bleed-in or out. If you really care about his credibility, the first thing you can do is that you tell him to learn how to use an instrument fit for a purpose.

                                  As if it was impossible that you can't see anything when turned too max.

                                  Too him, he likes iphobes, apple love too rip off fans users by giving less for more.

And also tell him that screenshots always have the same resolution as the screen, no matter the resolution of the content you are watching.
