    Seriously, I have never seen better image samples from main camera. This guy destroys any competition even with 1" sensors. Even at 48mp. Very very close to IQ from a point and shoot camera. Very detailed and very natural looking colors and lighting. No overprocessing. Zoom is a bit different story. If Sony had longer support and better UI it would be no brainer for me (now it's less than 900€).

      I'd only buy Sony smartphone if they could add DC dimming or improved PWM.

        Thanks for a great review. Is there any talk of the Xperia VII? I may jump ship from Pixel for this phone if Sony releases it.

            "For instance, people using the phone with a left hand or those who often unlock the device when placed flat on a desk won't like the available solution."
            Who are you to judge??? 🤣 🤣 🤣

                  No VoLTE or VoWIFI support :(

                  Bought this phone, it's an absolute masterpiece and it feels so nice using it. All the tech and design choices work very well together. For those of you who live in a bad service area, there is no support for calling over wifi or LTE. I'm so sad, it renders this phone pretty much useless for me.

                    Sony is best battery and device lifespan. Bonuses include (sound phone/BT/3.5MM = Photos = pictures/videos) attempting to attract and maintain customers to their other products (PLAYSTATION, alpha cameras, bravia, DSEE mp3 players...) ____ only complaint is no aftermarket cases. ***2024 @ not in USA*** then NO USA wireless carriers sell them. (prefer "— compacts — Xperia 5 = but 1m6 is similar sized) ____ their smartphones last me 5+ years (currently using 3, all sony = xz2 compact, 5m2, 5m4) ***was hoping to upgrade to 5m6*** though not created and 1m6 wasn't released in USA

                      It's not like Sony is not competing with anyone I am the one who use Samsung note then use Sony Experia and guys there's a lot difference in short I found Sony is best because no need to touch up or editing my most images and obviously Sony rocks the market in future Samsung should drop the price and yeah even better then iPhones
                      Seriously do test it once you will stuck on Sony like I am 🤓
                      Don't trust my words just try it and you gonna know why

                          It feels as Sony is trying to compete harder finally as for spec wise such as Bravia and improved cameras, though does it justify the price?
                          I think not.
                          come on! How in the H did they forget to include charger for that expensive price?

                            Trever, 03 Oct 2024I got this phone for my birthday only problem is the Androi... moreThis phone got micro sd card slot, I have 512 gb card. I was considering Samsung Ultra, but this one phone is the only option for me

                              I must be blind or something but I'm checking side by side with the newer iPhone and I don't see iPhone pics being any better. This looks so true to life, it almost makes you feel like you are in the place. I'm really impressed this time with the camera rendition, the color accuracy, nice highlights, no oversharpening or weird contrast. Really in love with this phone photos.

                                Sony gave us 20MP with tiny sensors which was bad and now that camera sensors are big enough, everything shoots in 12MP. I lost almost all hope that anyone else will do it so give me a camera binned to 20MP Sony! Preferably a 1" camera with a diaphragm but I'll take anything I'll get at this point.

                                    The price mentioned in this article is not true for me. The 512 GB version of Pro Max Costs almost 500 euro more than the Experia Mark 6.

                                      Anonymous, 30 Sep 2024Why does GSMArena even care about fast charging? I never us... moreThe same reason as your comment and reasoning, some people are looking for fast charging as well thats why they included it in, others might change their phone in 2-3 years span of time, some might change it anually so if in your case is battery performance then be it cause other will read it anyway and look for it, so why even you bother with it gsmarena does it because its tech review and its a feature of the phone itself.
