Envy, 11 Dec 2024Hello, anyone here been using the phone since launch? Does ... moremy unit has green tint on ~50% of the screen which is always visible if you look closely but especially visible with low screen brightness. imo it makes watching movies a bad experience because there is a color gradient from one end of the screen to the other... This is the biggest issue with the phone. Two smaller issues are: there is a software bug that sometimes occurrs when using gesture controls; the phone gets pretty hot when charging or high performance tasks.

I bought my 1iii new in 2022 (a year after release to let them iron out any issues software and hardware). Mine is fine in all aspects - it's been in a case with a screen protector since new, and I've left the battery charge limited to 80%.
I came from a poor experience with a Pixel 3a. The camera on the 1iii does need a lot of tinkering to get good results, but once you master the correct settings, the photos on the Xperia look more real-life. The big thing is, most people these days don't have the patience for that - they just want it to work and look good immediately. That's the biggest consideration people need to make with Xperia phones. Otherwise you should stick with the mainstream brands like Samsung and Apple.
In my case, the 3a did photography better out-of-the-box (and that didn't have Pro modes), but Google started updating everything and made things worse - obvious case of planned obsolescence. I regret updating the OS and apps as it was perfectly fine when I got that in late 2019. As well, I regret updating my 1iii to Android 13 purely because of of the wireless toggles (needs more swipes now to access Wifi and Data toggles), but otherwise stability hasn't changed unlike Google. Still solid, only had to force-restart once after it hard-froze while I was listening to music and taking a photo at the same time, but hasn't happened again.
Otherwise, I had a Galaxy S6 128GB (for four years) before my 3a (that only managed just over two years - only stopped using it because Google released a Clock update which killed the alarm - yeah nah). My 1iii is the grey 512GB, and provided no dodgy updates, I'll only consider replacing my Xperia once the internal memory fills up (I'd estimate probably close to 2030 - I have access to genuine batteries for my 1iii straight from Japan). I don't care about updates that much - don't do anything dodgy and just update the web browser, and it will last you as long as the hardware is good. That's the only reason I would opt for flagships - to use as long as possible vs more frequent replacements. My next phone is probably a foldable to be honest, being the nerd that I am.

Randomuser, 04 Dec 2024I want to purchase this phone (used) for general use and so... moreI purchased this Sony a month ago used with slight screen burn in marks, but no greens lines or whatsoever as I can say right now. But the camera is quite disappointing. Get a Samsung S23 used or brand new.

Hzzif, 06 Jul 2024This thing went Super Saiyan once I turned on performance m... morei turn off 120 Hz high refresh rate option and heat up problem go away.
now it's working much cooler also the H.S function in game enhancer work perfectly now ,it heat up way less than before.
It was my dream device and i bought it last week and i was so annoyed to see the heating issues and how none of the YouTuber mentioned this problem anywhere in their video especially sad with the one who always says "be mobile" like with 120HZ it's a heater
