Nicolas F, 17 May 2024"Ok but much smaller size of a phone screen counteract... more4k display is really underrated that even some sony fans do not appreciate it...
+ at first, i based it from my experience since z5 premium... people used to invalidate my experience that it does differ - that was even an ips - it appears sharper than an oled counterpart due to different arrangement of pixels... but i still enjoy it, taking advantage of it by watching 4k videos i took with the phone, and later youtube videos with high bit rate...
+ then later, found out that it makes sense... since minimum distance that you can appreciate 4k contents... do you know that the nearest distance you can enjoy a 4k content on a 4k display is the length of its diagonal? so, ye... watching it on a 4k phone is different on 4k tv/monitor since you use the phone "nearer"

Sad, maybe next time! (that is, unless Sony phone division won't LG itself by next year, which is quite probable at this point).

"And hey, this 1080p allowed this phone to get over 17hrs in battery life test, as a flagship!' - I doubt it's because of different resolution alone. Also, 1260p screen would have just 36% more pixels (as opposed to previous 1644p, which would have 131% more pixels, adjusted for changed aspect ratio) - again, not that big of a deal for battery life. And, if it's a ""flagship"" (for effin' 1400 euro), then why have mere 1080p anyway? Why not put bigger battery?
"..there are many who are fans of certain brands and they blindly praise and criticize products.." - so?
Sony did *some* things right with this smartphone (btw, not sure if changing aspect ratio was one of them), but they could do much more. Well, every manufacturer could do much more.

The first 4k display and evidently the last. That's a shame. The price is surreal.

We do not see crushed shadows like those in RAW images. I am sure Xperia cameras do some shadow lifting like what Sony Alpha cameras do by default using DRO.

When I opened the package of my 1 III, some label said "Made in Japan".
Not sure any more, if it said so about the packaging or the phone itself...
Any idea where the 1 VI is being manufactured?

People are more likely to but another phone. I'm not a conspiracy theorists, the conspiracy theorists scare me, in fact, but the glass back seems to be part of the planned obsolescence in these gadgets.

There are people who look at a pixel photo and then feel disgusted by the Processed appearance and lack of manual mode.
Neither are Pixel phones good for its battery life and performance.
Really, it depends on the person.

5G bands the Japanese 1 VI uses. I'll also list the US carriers that use the same bands.
n3 - none
n28 - none
n41 - T-Mobile
n77 - AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, US Cellular
n78 - none
n79 - none
LTE, plenty of carriers using the same bands as the Japanese 1 VI. 3G or 2G, is it still being used?

Anonymous, 17 May 2024I've had zero problems using a similar power-button fi... moreI was thinking the same thing. It's not all that hard to just register different fingers to unlock the phone. I unlock my phone using my right index finger. I do it that way, cause I'm usually picking up the phone in a way that my right index finger is there. I also have my right thumb registered, although I rarely unlock it with my thumb.
