Nick Tegrataker, 06 Jul 2021Tell me how using a different camera app could fix the lens... moreSony goes for natural colours, look at there TV vs Samsung and all others have saturated colours. You're telling me you want see your eyes see the truth but you want it saturated?

I have the Sony xh9005 85 inch TV I paid £2500

Sony ES series Hifi. Sony Xnp3 earphones , Sony microphone, Sony alpha camera.

The jealousy in you is triggered.

Sony like no others.

    Tann Hauser, 06 Jul 2021Glad we have YT TechNick tests, for debunk of these ones.Yeah, he said in his video that this phone can't even record in 4K60 without creating a project in Cinema Pro app because Basic mode doesn't support it. It's so convenient isn't it?

      Shui8, 06 Jul 2021Kind of agree. Lens quality are very bad. What a waste of u... moreThat test is useless. Now you are gonna jump on me with question how come it's useless and I all I will tell you is to pick and see Xperia XZ2 which still shows the most texture in that test after three years. So is XZ2 camera the best mobile camera ever? No. It just has great Tripod mode scene.

        I still like it more than ultra bricks, but i will not buy it, because it's not present in my market, I can't count on extra TWS bundle, also it costs a ton to import.

          Tann Hauser, 06 Jul 2021Glad we have YT TechNick tests, for debunk of these ones.Debunk what? He showed that 1 III has slower charging speed and worse battery life than S21 Ultra, exactly what this review shows.

              Every tech site who reviewed this worship the 4k display.

                Anonymous, 06 Jul 2021Sony should drop the 4K display in the future. It's pr... moreI think the 4k display is just to make their phone stand out amongst the competition. I do think it's useless as you don't really need that high of a resolution on a smartphone screen. That's why if I wanted to buy Xperia phone, I would opt for the 5 series rather than the 1.

                  God damit Sony, I want to support you, but you make it so hard. That just wants to make me stick to those €500 phones like the Zenfone 6 I have right now. Sure there are compromizes, but I feel like I pay a much fairer price for them at least.

                    4/5 stars? That’s fair.

                    However, the display is 4K at 120hz? I don’t know why I continue to see comments saying it’s not when literally reviewers on YouTube are showcasing the device in person and you can see the quality.

                    Comparing to the S21 Ultra & Apple devices, if you love the jack and micro as this is basically the perfect no compromise phone

                    It does make me laugh to say this is overpriced when the other competitors are literally in the same price range too.

                    I’ll wait for the Mark IV, with the ongoing pandemic right now it’s probably best.

                      Glad we have YT TechNick tests, for debunk of these ones.

                            Bruh this is pathetic, I could name several phones around 500$ that beat this phone in every department.
                            S20FE 5G easily has better cameras and why does it full charge in 1.5 hours with a 15 Watts charger but sony needs 2 hours with 30 Watt for a phone costing 2.5x. Atrocious.

                            The hardware is somewhat okay actually(pardon the chipset cooling, but even that could be fixed with a little underclocking), it's Sony's software and they are doing an extremely terrible job, so terrible that this could be their last phone.

                                Uneven sharpness all across the frame, even on the main cam. 😖

                                I mean look at this,
                                - https://m.gsmarena.com/piccmp.php3?idType=4&idPhone1=10712&idPhone2=9885&idPhone3=10153

                                You cant even read the text on those map.....looks like my P40 still holds the better quality eventhough after FL cropping.

                                  Sony should drop the 4K display in the future. It's practically useless and results in poor battery life.

                                    Anonymous, 06 Jul 2021You just made up bunch of stuff.Care to point out which of them are made up?

It just look intuitive because that Alpha interface, nothing more. Other flagship with bigger sensor can yield much more when fiddling with manual mode. Cinema Pro in the other hand, a different story.

                                        Dometalican, 05 Jul 2021That battery life...saddens me. I'm sure dark theme an... moreI mean, in that case you can just buy Xperia 5 III with clearly better battery life. If you're willing to let go that "4K" display that operates at 1080 most of the time, then the trade off will be worth it.
