I plan on keeping this phone a good long while, so I charge to 80% regularly, up to 90 or 100% if I know I'm going to be away from convenient charging options with a heavy day of use planned.

The phone was $650 when i got it and me being 15 at the time had to keep anything expensive my parents bought me for as long as i can. But now i'm 19 with a job of my own and can finally get rid of the Note. Not only does it have battery problems but also i've been having low storage for atleast 2 years now. 32gb with no expandable storage, idk what i was thinking when i chose this phone

              I'm going to buy this phone in a few days after using the Galaxy Note 5 for 4 years. When i bought the Note 5 it was already 2 years old and the battery was mediocre, now it can only last 2 hours from 100% to 0. Anyway, i've been a Samsung user since 2011 but they removed the headphone jack and SD card slot, i will not pay more for less, so i ordered the Xperia 1 III. I'll share my thoughts once i use the phone for a week

                    But there was a huge problem with the latter two, Z1 and Z3c l cracked the screen(nothing drastic) and when you do, the touch stops working COMPLETELY. Imagine you are middle of nowhere and crack your screen, you can't use your phone at all.

                    Do you know if it's still the same? l can't find enough information online.

                      2% battery dropped after fully charged, why? Does anyone have solution

                        Okay, listen to me now. I will give you the most honest review of this phone. Not because I'm a also a huge fan of Sony, but because this phone really totally enchants and justify the user, you will love it and never change it. I want to really help those who wants to buy it. Here we go. So, for start, I owned XZ1 for 3 years, it was great phone, no lagging after 3 years, just I had some drops latest times, and screen was broken. It could go easily 2 more years. And I wanna change phone, you know bigger, new tech, new camera tech, faster... So again, I went for Sony, because never dissapointed me. So I was already looking for Xperia 1 II, but I heard then that III is coming so I said I will wait, although was hard. Wait wait, finally came out this magnificent phone. I ordered it and went personal to store. When I got this phone in hands I was enhanced really. What a beautiful build of this phone, it's just premium, you see it on first meeting with it. My god, big, light in hands, and like sticking to hands, it's perfect.
                        The 21:9 ratio ultrawide is amazing and unusual. That phone really is unique. Okay so here we go. Perfect build.
                        You know what u get in this phone - It's freakin' 4K 120 Hz screen!!! Absolutely amazing, bright sharp screen, I think best on market no doubt. 120Hz refresh rate is fast as thunder, you scroll through pages and tasks with ease, with no lagging, really it's just unbelievable. Among fastest phones, 12gb RAM, 8-core CPU!!!
                        I like the fingerprint, it's super accurate and you just put it on side and you lock your phone. Super fast!
                        Okay we go to cameras. As you know you have four lenghts and super lenses in phone. With Zeiss optics like in Sony Alpha cameras. The pictures are real, beautiful sharp and fast captured. It's amazing how sensir works fast it captures eye motion, it's amazing, I love it. Also if you are really pro photographer you have pro mode and features which you can manage manually. So really like camera in phone. To not mention the videos, 4k graphics is dope with HDR. Also in night modes Sony really put in effort. And if you manually set your settings it could be even better pictures. Cameras are the best really.
                        We go to sound. Gosh, this phone is sou loud, about 40% louder than 1 II, and it's true. Sound is amazing and it's 360°. Imagine what u can do with headphones, ughhh. So cameras, sound, screen, perfect!!! In fact everything perfect hehe, believe me!!! This phone is beast, machine, I fell in love really, it's so premium. Let me tell you, you think price is high. No!!! Completely worth it!!! Oh and about battery. It goes through one day, ofcourse if you will watch 4k videos and long time, battery will go down, like very phone. But battery life is nice, not bad, so don't worry about that. And about playing games, I don't have phone gor playing games, because you know games are not god for battery on long road. For that buy a computer.
                        So really, that phone, gosh. It's unique, and Sony really stands out, you have 3.5mm jack, you have SD card slot, you have camera shutter, google assistant button. You also pay for that. There features are really needing nowadays and Sony kept them. Really this phone is amazing, just buy it please, this is phone for future, it has everything, and 5G ofcourse. Don't really know why doesnt get more attention and advertising, it's the best!! Trust me!!! I love it!!! Thank you Sony!!! That's it, go for it, you won't regret, speed, elegance and beyond.

I brought it up as a "full disclosure" to the OP. And with companies now guaranteeing 4 years and beyond, I do feel that it's a missed opportunity.

                          So, it's the end of the year, and all these "Best of 2021" lists come out. Phones obviously are a part of that. And I've only seen one list that even lists the X 1 III in the top 10 for phones. The rest tend to be Samsung and iPhone phones/clones, the occasional Pixel. It seems like many review sites don't even really give a second to this excellent phone, just cave to the herd. Hardly even a mention of the exceptional hardware this phone has above all others. At least Sony seems committed to keeping themselves in the cellphone game, so I keep hoping for them.

Just so you know, when you stop getting Android updates you can still continue using the phone. Everything would still function fine.
                            I'd rather having a longer lasting hardware than one that promises long updates but have horrible performance and stops working long before you can even benefit from it *cough* Samsung.

I've had Android 7 on my phone until just last year when i finally decided to update to 9. Android 6 is still supported by 99% of apps so i don't mind using an older version

That may change, but that's where it stood as of phone release. Sony implying very strongly they'd go to Android 12 and 13, unclear after that. I do get regular updates as of now, still running Android 11. I think just about everyone would LOVE to have an update to allow seamless switching between lenses. As of now, you have to manually choose which lens you use, which is needlessly limiting. It's like they figure "Well, if on our cameras you have to physically swap out lenses, we should do the same on our phones." It's just stupid. I forgot about that in my initial reply. It does force you to slow down a little on your picture taking, which is fine by me, but becomes limiting in video which I rarely do. Those caveats said, it's still the only phone I have absolutely loved since my LG V30 back in the day, probably about the same time you grabbed the S8.
