Anonymous, 05 Jul 2021It's stupid phone Even if GSMArena commenters like itIt's a stupid phone.
But Sony fanboys will still like it and defend it until death.
There, corrected it.

      [deleted post]Pro app needs Pro sensors too
      Sony using old sensors and not using it's best and new sensors!

        Anonymous, 05 Jul 2021Slight improvements over last year but the list of cons it ... moreWell said. I can add to your list another dozen of bullet points - nails into Xperia coffin. And I'll struggle to do the same for iPhones, Galaxies, Oixels, Xiaomi. Because they are better in all aspects!

          [deleted post]Absolutely agree with it. Looking at my abysmal photo experience with Xperia 1, 5, 1II, 5II, I also believe that Alpha team deliberately messed up with Xperias photo outcome to not compromise their real camera sales. Anyway, Pixel quality is unreachable height for Sony. That's for sure.

              Android-Authority, 05 Jul 2021Samsung is no.1 brand for a reason. But Xiaomi is slowly cr... moreOnly good thing about Samsung, it has the most best features that no other phone company can provide.

                I love this phone because of it's aspect ratio, easier to hold and full wide video format, plus it weighs less than the other top end phones. I am tired of heavy phones. That said, I'll wait until next year when the V9 based architecture chips arrive, by then, hopefully less throttling issues as well as compared to the 888 V8.

                  You're jelly, because you're phone or OEM doesn't have 4k 2160p screen.
                  Lmao.

                      Anonymous, 05 Jul 2021What were you expecting?? 5 stars? GSMA uses a decimal scoring system. 4.0 is pretty mediocre for a phone in his price range.

                            S21 better screen all round? Except for the resolution, the punch hole and the less realistic colour profile. But yes the s21 is the more user friendly choice.

                              I love how the night mode shots still look like night and not some pseudo-twilight tone mapped insanity.

                              However, the front facing camera is absolutely tragic. They clearly didn't give a single care to it.

Sony's LCD were really good with all that Bravia technology put on them that I still dont get why they are still sticking to OLED, when they have shown they got no hand at getting something good out of it.

                                If anything, they added issues, like low PWM rating and more higher energy use.

                                  The default app, which is on the home screen and lock screen when you first turn on the phone, should produce photos comparable to other flagships. The "Pro" apps should be better, if Sony were using their very best sensors it could be, instead they hide behind their "intended audience" argument.
