        This one clearly has gone m.a.d. How people refuse to think before passing judgement is painful.

          Daany, 18 Jul 2021When you compare it to other flagship phones with 4k 120Hz ... moreIt's a fact that the battery life of this phone is poor. The 4K screen is the reason. Use your brain.

Also, no, it's not the same thing. If your Xperia 1 III dies at 10 pm, and you need to use your phone, what are you going to do? On the other hand, if you need to use your S21 Ultra at 10 pm, you can use it. Use your brain. Don't be delusional. It's pathetic.

              I just told you why I think this phone is not inferior compared to flagship competitor but if battery life is your concern there are a lot of Realmes out there with outstanding battery life that will last you few days. None of the giant SD888 flagships can last you more than a day, one will need recharging at 10pm and the other at 1am but in the end it's the same thing. Why is that so hard to understand?

              And if you want to talk about poor battery life try using camera on Mi 11 Ultra for more than 10 minutes to see how battery vanishes.

                Damn son, think first, it helps.

This phone has a poor battery life compared to other flagship phones. Why do you like it? Do you like inferior products?

                      Anonymous, 17 Jul 2021But why do you like it? Do you like inferior things?To me S21 Ultra doesn't have that flaghsip premium design, it just looks huge. Camera bump is just a horrible design decision together with huge glass circles that house tiny cameras. That's something they took from the iPhone and even on iPhone it looks horrible. It doesn't have the elegance or panache, it' just a workhorse. Then there is your traditional Samsung ultra thin GG coating which sounds like plastic whenever you tap it with your fingernail.

                      I haven't been impressed by Samsung S for the last three generations.

                        I want one!
                        But then I wonder how much the Mark 2 fell to !
                        It might be a better deal !

                            Anonymous, 17 Jul 2021Sony Photo Pro app does a lot of smearing sadly. On Youtube... moreIt was 1 II.
                            And we ve must have seen different videos, cause in that compare PhotoPro did a lot better.
                            I downloaded the GCam mod app and tried it. If that is what GCam processing indeed is, Night shooting and Night Mode is really crap. I really wish to believe it works better on Pixels somehow.

                            Better stick to PhotoPro MR mode with 1/4 sec shutterspeed and get better quality lowlights.

                                I'm on the 2nd page of the review and already seeing the reviewer trying to find fault where there isn't. First of all the design. Every manufacturer only makes the slightest of design changes from its predecessor and let's face it. You walk into a phone shop and all the phones look the same. The fingerprint issue? Saying that you accidentally have unlock attempts because the position of the sensor. Bull crap. If you prefer it being on the back (which I don't like) just say so, it's a preference not a design fault. Ive never experienced phone unlock attempts just because I put it into my pocket, or held it a certain way. Especially someone who is left handed like the reviewer says he is, less chance of accidently unlocking you phone with you finger. You must hold your phone in an odd way.

                                  Despite all minuses, I would have bought it if price was lower.

Comparing it with phones released years ago is silly. It's 2021, and it's a flagship phone. You have to compare it with other flagship phones released in 2021.

                                        But people should not forget it makes sense the phone has mediocre battery life, the current gen of phones could have much better battery life if 888 was less power hungry.

                                        However even then, Sony made the stupid decision to put in a 4k screen, I have excellent eyes but I never understood why they did that, sure it looks fancy but at what cost.

                                        That is why Xperia 5 makes more sense, the whole 4k screen issue is not there, puts down the cost too so I wonder how that phone scores on the battery mark.
