I guess Samsung is out of the picture as all of their high end phones don't have SD or a jack and i don't expect either of them to return on the S22
I might as well grab an Xperia before Sony decides to start following this stupid trend of removing features

Congrats on holding the Sammy for so long! If you wanted to go midlevel, Samsung A52 has a headphone jack and SD card. But then you get the photo processing style of Samsung as opposed to the more neutral and nuanced photos you get with this phone. The only 2 downsides I have found is the selfie camera (flat, overexposed, fairly limited field of view) and the flashlight which is a joke. Dim doesn't begin to describe it. Using a bright image on the screen is better.

      B El-Deen, 11 Dec 2021Does anybody know what changed in the last system update? ... moreUse P mode and set the EV to a negative value, you can also force HDR on all the time if you want the sky to be properly exposed.

        How is this phone? I'm planning to buy it next month. I've been using a Samsung S8 for almost 4 years so it's time to upgrade, i wanted to go for Samsung again, but since they removed the headphone jack and SD card i decided to check this phone out. Are there any differences that i need to get used to? What about the gestures? I love the swiping gesture on my S8 like swipe left to go back, swipe in the center to go home and swipre right for recent apps

          Does anybody know what changed in the last system update?
          They seriously should have update log or something.
          Oh, one more thing, are the pics taken with Auto mode a bit over exposed, or is it just me?

Whats not okay to have the whole wide web, emails, navigating, photography etc etc etc on 6 cm's screen. no way. Overrides any oh feels thick notion.

              Only Sony Experia 1 series deserves money and worth to buy.
              All of other imitation copy cats should respect to Sony!

              To who thinks "without brain" that 3.5mm is obsolete or old, has to try to listen 3.5mm with Xperia then may he/she can see it still rocks!!!

The cameras are 12mp and the battery size is 4500 m-amp. Do you have a site that you are referencing that is showing this information?

It may seem odd, but after using it, if feels weird using something like a 16:9. They just feel fat to me. To each his own however.

I choose midrange over flagshit because they have more... moresaving money by leaving out obvious features, like a fast charging adapter and other accessories, by reasoning them with environmental protection and ressource savings, is necessary to raise profit.

                        sony, the best of the best in cameras, producer of image sensors used in almost all phones, developer of the alpha camera series and a highly regarded brand in matters of quality and innovation:
                        how did you fail making a great camera?
                        other phone brands, like huawei have succeeded in creating the best phones, regarding all aspects like camera, screen etc.
                        where did you get those 12mp cameras from?
                        i don't think it was your sony alpha engineers who created this embarrassing phone.

                          I'm glad to say that people were wrong about the specs. 4k 144htz display, 6,000mah battery. Display size is perfect as well as body. 1,800nit brightness. 108mp camera. I am loving this phone all day everyday. If Sony manages to 1up itself again next year I'll be so happy. Sony supremacy.

                            This seems to be the ideal phone with a jack too, but the idiot screen ratio just doesnt let me get it: i like a broad screen in portrait mode and i do not like phones that are 17 cm's long!

                              Good phone, but not the best one.
                              In-call volume could not be saved. (It's always maxed on my phone)

                                Zalias, 20 Nov 2021Ah, I see. I should have separated my answer. I meant to... moreAgreed. Many people prefer the highly processed look as opposed to a more natural one.

                                  If I knew about this phone, I would have gotten this one.

                                  You actually get more if you play less nowadays. Shitty trends where I actually cannot throw money at them because companies be like " Yo Dawg, you want no SD slot? Gonna cost you. No head phone jack? Damn..that be costing you premium."

                                    Sony for sure makes flagship phones the way they should be made
                                    a sd card slot and bezels are always best deal speakers too
                                    i think the 4k Oled screen is best screen for any smartphone out there to date for picture quality + 120hz is good but not king
                                    looks like a really good smartphone
                                    overall best flagship phone of 2021 only phones better then it are gaming phones but only just only because
                                    i find out the things that age the worsted is always the performance & software
                                    most of the apps on the app store are games and the main things games need is good specs [still really good specs Sony Xperia 1 III has)
                                    hints add better cooling system more ram storage
                                    i hope the sony phones get better at gaming

                                      W, 01 Dec 2021Build quality OK?I believe it's pretty solid. IP65 and IP68 certifications for water resistance which are better than most phones out there. This along with SD card is pretty impressive. The phone feels premium and well-put together without being bulky or too heavy. It does have a reasonable amount of weight and the metal and glass sandwich is a known commodity. The phone shutter button has an excellent feel to it, and taking pictures with it is a welcome throwback and premium experience.
