        Is there a working Google Camera port for this phone? For example does the Arnova8G2 GCam work on this phone?

            Peter.H, 08 Mar 2024Hi there, I'm an audiophile and love the audio qualit... moreThis depends on your audio files and listening setup, and is subjective. I rip CDs at near-max quality (average .flac size for me hovers around 110MB). I need music to work (unless it's health-and-safety related) and will almost always pair my phone with wired earphones / headphones from a range of price ranges. Cheapest is a XBA-C10 which I use for travelling. At home depending on what I feel like I would use a XBA-H3, MDR-V6, CD900ST, or (via USB with an adapter) the 1ADAC, all with custom pads. I also pair this via the 3.5mm or USB to a hybrid vacuum tube amp, with which I use any of the above as well or full-range wooden speakers. The phone drives all the above without too much hassle. For anything audio I usually go with Sony as I prefer their sound signature. Wireless I have tried, and was very disappointed with, Sony's WF-1000XM3 and M4 - all sounded overly processed and returned both after purchase. Saying that, I sometimes use a cheap Panasonic S300 which I find more natural (and ironically more 'Sony') than the 1000XM3 and M4 did.

            I despise Dolby Atmos - it's a useless one-size-fits-all solution that isn't really a solution. For me it sounds like it compresses rather than processes my .flac files, and leave that off. I don't use Sony's HQ settings (the quality 'upscaler') as my source files are already almost maxxed out, though I have tried it out of curiosity with a 320kps MP3 file and do notice some extra 'warmth' in the mids though not much else. It's a marketing thing no doubt.

            Overall it's pretty flat, and does uphold Sony's audio standards of yesteryear to an extent. Then again my experience with audio spans over 30 years and most young people today won't appreciate (or know) what Sony's audio standard used to be nor how to tailor audio experiences with their setup. Audiophile is a meaningless term for me - I have set standards with audio and with my setup 99.9% people can't hear the difference nor care for it. Hence why, this is all subjective.

              Hi there,
              I'm an audiophile and love the audio quality of Sony phones.
              Has anyone tried out the sound quality on this phone, how is it?

                I just bought this ver softbank second unit and tested it for 13 minutes by downloading 10 applications on Playstore, watching YouTube and testing the camera consuming battery power from 55% to 36% And the temperature reaches 38-51° so is the unit I got overheating? Or is that normal? Please answer if you understand this.

                  Is this worth with $280?

                    I used it for three months, what a fine mobile satisfying battery, good rear cam, front cam not good but just complete ur job minimum essential requirement. Mobile gets hot but much lesser than s20 5g exynos model. U need to spend sometime to actually learn the pro cam. Fast processor. Recommended. SOG03 model has enough of 5g bands as well. I needed dual sim so looking for US version mark 3 due to high tax in Pakistan.

                          Don't even touch this phone. It's worst than xperia 5 ii in every possible way as I owned both. It gets hot, drains faster, cant even play games more than 5 minutes before it gets laggy and drop fps to 15. Camera is meh and can't even notice the difference, its heavier, wtf is the point of this phone

                            really nice phone

                              Anonymous, 26 Dec 2023who buys an xperia for pubg?I was answering on another persons comments. I was sharing my and his opinions. If you don't understand why some people buy Xperia phones to play PUBG, then read the comments that me and other guys was talking about. A person who listens only the half of the story and being loud is a fool. You need to listen the whole part of the story. Being loud without any knowledge is like being an idiot

                                ashv, 20 Dec 2023For how long do you have this phone? A year and a half

                                  I have been using all Sony flagship devices right from 2011 till date without missing any. This was one of my worse experience and equally one of my best experience too. This phone make me have a mixed feelings... Sometimes great sometimes so annoying and sometimes just don't know what to do most with it.. it's a great phone but my expectations was more than what i actually got.
                                  Pros
                                  1. Great music with Bluetooth or headphone jack
                                  2. Nice stereo separation on speak output
                                  3. Very durable
                                  4. Great built and handling
                                  5. Better fingerprint than other previous models
                                  6. Display should be great but mine has some brownish black and even worst when on 120hz refreshment. This makes me stop using always on display because it doesn't seems dark everywhere around the clock.. Sony should have fixed this..

                                  Cons.
                                  1. Phone overheating issues and even more when on 120hz refreshment
                                  2. Inconsistent camera quality.. camera is not so good compared to other flagship devices. Front camera is a mess.... It's not the camera phone i thought it was
                                  3. Battery life is less than average on if you're a gamer or do stay on the internet a lot or do lot of multitasking
                                  4.phone software is very wield sometimes and some apps like calling app do crash most time.. a bit fixed now with android 13 but still need to be fixed more.(Hoping for Android 14 and 15 if possible)
