I think the biggest let-down to this phone is the Camera functionality. The pics themselves all look great imo except the night/dark settings. You'd think a company like SONY with all their digital photograpy experience, the fact they MAKE the sensors, that they'd put a legit Manual mode with MUCH better adjustability. My LG V30 can do ISO6400 with a 30s exposure even and that phone's 4 years old at this point! wth is with ISO1000 @ 1/8 gonna do for me give speedlines go a geriatric couple taking an evening stroll? I can almost do Astrophotography on something I'm trying to retire!

BEST PHONE EVER!!! Really worth its price, it's stormy fast and smooth, I like the design, it fits in hand perfectly, like it's sticking to your hand. Display is perfect, 4K, brigth, sharp as razor. Battery life is super, it goes 1 day. I didn't notice heating at me, so I don't understand why you guys have problems. Maybe you play too much games. If you buy phone to play games, then buy PC, lol. Camera is stunning. Sharp, deatiled photos. Really out of words for this machine. I love it!!! I wouldn't change replace it with nothing. Really best phone, everything is perfect, thank you Sony!!!

I've just brought an Xperia 1 III, after using it for some 2 weeks, I found the CPU temperature always stands comparatively high at 45-5O C", whereas my another gadget of Samsung Ultra 21 just at 28-30 C" !

But it works very well for me. I have used a Nokia 9 Pureview with clean Android (Android One project) for a couple of years and before that, Samsung and Huawei.
But it could be because I'm using the .EU rom om a Chinese version, since the global version was hard to come bye.

"Daylight photos from the Xperia 1 III's main camera are really good overall... Noise is virtually non-existent in these images."
Which images are they looking at? The ones attached to the review are very noticeably fuzzy and blurry in lots of areas. Samsung phones have been producing much cleaner images for years.

What is the web browsing battery life like with 60FPS mode instead of 120FPS mode? I'd be interested to see what hit 120fps does to the battery life

AW, 11 Aug 2021Why has this site repeatedly stated that this phone exists ... more512GB does exist, for the Asia market. You can get those and use them in the US but they may not work with 5G as is iirc, which should be as easy as flashing the phone with US firmware but who knows
However for the US market we only have 256GB, which sucks. Native storage is always easier to deal with than an SD card

Why has this site repeatedly stated that this phone exists in 512 GB? I was beyond disappointed when I saw that this wasn't true at all.

You didn't do anything but some personal communication, and 1-2 minutes of youtube, no games, and the battery only lasted 12h? When was it overheating if you didn't play games etc.?

Had the phone for about five days now. Biggest problem with the phone is overheating. Don't know whether it is due to the overheating or not, but the battery also drains exceptionally fast. I had it turned on 7:30 in the morning and battery basically gone by 7:30 at night with no games and may be just one or two short (few minutes) videos on YouTube yo go along with basic personal communication. Another problem is the lack of a built-in proprietary photo app. Personally not a fan of Google Photos and had to painstakingly search for a gallery app on Play store. Given how much Sony likes to brag about its phone's photo-taking capability, find it ludicrous that it doesn't even have it's own gallery app to go along with it !
