      But they seem not to be gaining enough profits from their high end mobile sales, to mitigate the enormous overall profit losses...

      Nothing dishonest about it, just logically reading into their reports.

Also, the S23 Ultra has a bigger screen, a stylus, a 10x optical zoom, and better battery life. Don't you want Sony phones to be released much sooner and/or priced much lower? I don't see how Sony phones will be competitive if Sony keeps doing this.

People that want unique features of this phone will still wait instead of getting s23 ultra. If s23 ultra also offered notch free display, front facing stereo speakers, headphone jack and microSD card then it would be different story.

                The same phone would be 25% more expensive to me than to japanese.
                So, an expected difference there...
                Still, too expensive either way.

                  It just doesnt sell, and recent news of Sams 95% profit decline support that notion.

                    By the way, this phone will fail miserably. Now I can buy an S23 Ultra for about $1,070. By the time this phone is available, I should be able to buy an S23 Ultra for about $1,000 or lower. Sony needs to release its phones much sooner. If it's incapable to do that, the prices have to be much lower to be competitive.

                      No point having a flagship chip of it throttles to half perfectly after min.

                            LucasN82, 21 May 2023S-Cinetone is near colored HDR mode. I will test HDR mode soonIsn't S-Cinetone just a color profile of SDR?

                            Anyways if you have 1 V please provide HDR samples, especially night ones.

                            Its kinnda funny to read rev conlusions about good but not so great night video, based on just Wider dynamic range setting video, and not High dynamic range from VideoPro.
                            Its same as doing photos with DRO, and not HDR...

                            As far as I know all other flags are autoHDR, but on Xperia one should use VideoPro with that setting on, to actually see results of its benefits...

                              Tann Hauser, 20 May 2023Im still wondering tho, why not even one sample of the new ... moreS-Cinetone is near colored HDR mode. I will test HDR mode soon

                                77, 20 May 2023Everything works no flaws , why you nagging for? Does you... moreI can attest to that.
                                Xperia users seem notoriuos of keeping with their devices for longest of time.
                                "Only" 2,5 yrs of updates, and yet they seem to keep on using them for 3/4/5 and more years...
                                There are nowadays threads of photography enthusiasts posting their shots even from 7 yr old Z5's.

                                One can only guess (hint) why that is so. ;)

                                  Im still wondering tho, why not even one sample of the new sensors (or other ones) 4k HDR video performance?!
                                  All rev gave us is WDR video from Basic (the simplest) mode.
                                  Where are the HDR samples from VideoPro?

                                    SuuperBaka, 18 May 2023I hope the Xperia 5 V has the same camera setup or maybe if... moreIm hoping for these new speakers with audio amp on 5 series.
                                    The new main sensor will most certainly be there.
                                    And a little bit of sth extra on the side as always.
                                    Who knows, maybe 5 series gets an upgrade with one extra exmor T sensor under the hood.
                                    This telephoto rack would be a nice addition, but not any deal breaker for me.

                                    Anyways, I will most probably wait for 5 mk VI, as my 5 mk II just refuses to show any sign of getting any older.
