LOL, 05 Jan 2022It's for the most hardcore Sony fanboys with too much ... moreThey can say what they want about battery life - as someone who currently owns both a Sony Xperia 1 and a Galaxy Note 20 Ultra (and have run Sony+Samsung phones side by side for a while) I can say without hessitation that the Sony's easily outlast the Samsung's in terms of battery life in real world use. And it's not even close.
I have no idea why this is, but my Sony phones always seem to overperform on battery life, and they maintain excellent battery life for years. By comparison my Samsung devices often struggle to meet the battery life claimed in reviews, and their battery life seems to degrade quite noticeably after about a year of use.
I use the Sony as my work phone and Samsung as my private phone, so I run then side by side each day. I don't play games or watch videos most days on either phone, so the type of usage is similar. By the end of each day the Sony is usually at around 60% battery, whole the Samsung is usually down to around 30%.

Does any @sonyxperia phone 1III, 5III, PRO I, II,III, IV, V? maybe in 2030? 😉 camera app supports burst mode for RAW+JPG files with full manual control like for example Lumia950XL and other discontinued lumia phones or dslr.

It's for the most hardcore Sony fanboys with too much money to burn.
So hardcore they'll even put up with this shortcoming, quote:
"Battery life is below average."
Forget about the cameras and other specs, if your expensive flagship phone is not having excellent battery life... just quit.
Battery-Storage-Screen, the top three features that shouldn't be compromised for any phones at any price range. Have a slower chip, have crappier cameras, have a cheap plastic body if you want to reduce the costs. Don't compromise the battery, storage and screen quality.

The comparison tool shows how the xperia needs a lot of work.
And by the way, computational photography is everywhere.
Search for Sony's Alpha 1 mirrorless.
It incorporates computational photography.
Xperia needs it and does it—right before you press the shutter.
Doesn't mean it has huge sensor with comprehensive manual controls that a camera doesn't use computational techniques.
Sony Alpha 1 is Sony's flagship mirrorless camera and it was dubbed as the "future of computational photography."

Video guy, 02 Dec 2021Dont expect anything. Manufacturers should put better sen... moreMobile sensors don't even reach 14-bit in signal, they hover more around 10-but and 12-but in some instances. The new Samsung ones do 12-bit in upressed HDR, which is great for dynamic range, and the high bit depths can be superb for editing and working on in post, including increasing details In image without too much deterioration.

It has a good chunk but I don't see people using much Sony cameras anymore. Rather Canon nikon etc are more popular. In TV Sony also use to be in like phones they are as nowadays Sony TV are just not popular at all the same wya Sony phones are.

They have the most natural colours (even if the colours are a bit on the more yellowish side) and no I don't think so I have seen any hdr like what u described wither. And sony manual mode u can also use editing apps for that. Even on my huawei p20 lite there is a pro mode in the camera which has focus ISO exposure AF control etc etc.

I just got my Xperia Pro-I a few days ago, I am replacing my Xperia 5 II which I really liked. I want to love this phone because the still image quality is great but there is one huge problem with the phone - I cannot continuously record video for over 12 minutes. It takes just 12 minutes for the phone to overheat and then shut down the camera. I am so, so, so disappointed.

Best stabilization goes to vivo and Xiaomi.
