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.

      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

                Anonymous, 13 Dec 2021Hope this device does not heat up like L3? I haven't found that to be the case.

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.

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

                        Hhhyy, 11 Dec 2021How is this phone? I'm planning to buy it next month. ... moreI love this phone. I found it for the same reasons that you are talking about. Gestures work just great. 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.

                            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?
