For this reason most of the new released smartphone doesn't support FM anymore.

But I kept my old dumb phone purely for the FM radio , so I can use that without impacting my main phone battery

It seems (from my limited understanding!) that since Android 11, the FM Radio app needs to be bundled in the protected system partition in order to have access to the relevant APIs to access the hardware, so it's pretty useless right now.
Maybe once third-party firmware becomes available it will be possible to use the integrated FM Radio?

Sony Xperia 10 iii:
I like this phone. (I had the XZ3 before this one.) The SCREEN is really nice, great colors, great clarity. I like that the screen is FLAT. I like the fact that the edges of the screen are NOT rounded. I get a whole lot LESS accidental function changes because my fingers are NOT touching the glass, as I hold the phone normally. Thank you Sony.
This phone is much LIGHTER and SMALLER than the XZ3, and it is FLAT, not curved on the back. It is MUCH easier to handle normally.
The BATTERY life is GREAT. I don't have to worry about topping off the battery before going to a long shift at work. It seems like the battery will last for DAYS, even if I am watching videos. I have not really tried to use it up completely.
The CAMERA has a x2 zoom and a 1/2 macro function. My PHOTOS are quite good.
It seems like a take fewer photos but a much better quality, focus, clarity.
The external speaker is clear but not really loud. I noticed that there is a sound enhancer function (my words) in the settings to improve the sound quality when using Bluetooth headphones. (I found that function when setting up a set of Sony Wireless Headphones.)
Frankly, I was looking for the Xperia 5 iii when I bought this one. (It was not out yet in my area.) But I am quite pleased with this phone. It is a very good phone for a lot less money than the 5 iii. Cheers

Anyone not liking the slight pause from tapping the shutter button to actual capture, it is mainly that little animation of the focal point that is making it feel slower.
It's not a total work around but if you go to accessibility settings, you will find a "remove animations" option, and this will make the camera image capture feel quicker.
the downside is animations system wide are removed or reduced, so if you like animations in the UI, it's not a great workaround....but if like me you just want efficient quick actions, then it's a little bonus.

Please don't take this in the wrong way, but have you double checked the sound settings ?
also check in the accessibility section, to make sure the sound settings near the bottom of the screen are set correctly.
Can you play media loud enough ?is the issue purely ringtone / notification based ?

Eko Briketi, 22 Sep 2021I guess this is what you want. I'm ok with what I have... moreMake no mistake, it's primarily not a criticism of the phone: it's a criticism on a lack of imagination of what could possibly be improved about this phone in its current state.
I'm ok with the phone, as these were known limitations at the time of purchasing it (except for lack of AOD, which I found slightly surprising).
Security updates extended beyond 2 years would be very welcomed though, as 2 years really is equivalent of shitting on your customers these days, especially with the premium prices that Sony commands. The only reason I accepted this, is that you'll very likely be able to install a third-party firmware after two years (such as SailFish).

- always-on display (no-brainer with the current battery life)
- 4+ years of android security fixes rather than 2 years, to reduce waste and the inconvenience of having to change your phone long before the physical device wears out.
