Nick Tegrataker, 06 Jul 2021Yeah, he said in his video that this phone can't even ... moreSame as it was for 1 II. Basic mode does video in HDR 4k or FHD at 30fps. All other options are there/were there in CinemaPro, just as last years 1 II.

So what is your point exactly? You are raving as if the phone doesnt have any 4k 60fps video. But of course it does, It even has 4k up at 120fps.
You wished 4k 60 fps in basic mode, but you didnt get it, just as last year. Its there in CinemaPro just as last year, but you just dont want to use that app?
Well tough luck, its a Sony phone that does those video options through CinemaPro that way, since 5 mk1. And them CinemaPro videos look amazing.

So, just get sth else that suits your 4k 60 fps mode wishes more.

    Very bad battery life. Unacceptable in a flagship in 2021. Just no.

      Nick Tegrataker, 06 Jul 2021Did you even read what I wrote?Giving you another example.

      We look for the truth what you're eyes see is neutral not trash over saturated colours like 95% off other cameras provide.
      Next time wear glasses or lens to change the truth too false..

        Anonymous, 06 Jul 2021Debunk what? He showed that 1 III has slower charging speed... more4k res working at 120 fps, 1300 nits screen brightness, confirmed by video recorded tests, etc...
        This site claims otherwise.

        Whome shall we trust on that, ha?

            Great i will remove power steering or electric windows and replace it with manual or nothing.. 🤣 🤣 🤣, whats next, I will remove you gas cooker and replace it with matches instead off electric ignition..

            Using high brightness on oled 4k 2170p with 600ppi will consume much more battery.

            There is option for battery saving schemes on the phone use it wisely. Own the phone before making assumptions and relying on gsmarena.com

              Even the Realme GT has a better score. Realme making better phones than Sony.

                  Something must have gone wrong in the studio comparison shoot. The picture is completely out of focus. Since the other sample pictures are sharp I suspect an user error.

                        Anonymous, 06 Jul 2021That test is useless. Now you are gonna jump on me with que... moreSo when some test makes lower score on Xperia, its useless? Like Nick said, if u claim about the tripod mode used in low light shot, in good light it still the same. About XZ2, how about no. Firstly, XZ2 got higher resolution to begin with, and definitely got the better lens quality than 1iii. But the flaws in XZ2 are in its image processing, oversharpened, noisy, inferior camera sensor size. If u look closely, details are not better, pretty much just a JPEG processing enhancement just to look good if one doesnt pixel peep.

                          Headphone jack is a nice feature, though. Notification led is something I personally have not missed for the past 2+ years with my current phone, since I have a smartwatch for notifications and so on - but I can see why one would want it.

                                [deleted post]They are complaining about the battery life because other smartphones with the same chip are able to last for way longer on a single charge. Not everyone wants to carry power banks around. But I do agree with you about the heating part. Most people aren't gonna push their phone that much to generate uncomfortable levels of heat. And yh, getting a case helps unless you really like the colour of your phone.
