Chris, 25 Aug 2021This phone does support aptX Adaptive (and HD,LL) if anyone... moreI was. Thanks! (Aptx adaptive not mentioned in official specs, but I can see same was true for Xperia 1 ii, which I know has aptx adaptive.)

More pixels simply does not equate to better pictures. It's not a fanboy comment, it is what it is.

Isn't android fanboys gonna dispute about the Much so inferior 12 MP sensor that is on this phone by Sony?
No? iPhone's 12MP sensors by Sony somehow is worse than something like 48 or 64 MP, yet Sony uses 12MP

Happy with the phone, but camera has stopped working. Variable lense is out of place. Because of this initialization fails when opening camera app and get an error. One faulty camera stops you from using all rear cameras. No damage on the phone. Can hear a rattling sound when shaking phone. Can get camera to work if it's tapped on the left side and can get it to stop if tapped on the top right. Maybe I've been unlucky. Sending for repair, hopefully they fix it. Like everyone has said only downside I see is the flashlight. Battery life improved after use. 4k 120hz at medium brightness and I easily get a day use with 20% left at the end of the day. Over night charging is great, I've set it to be fully charged by 6.30. Sd card feature which is rare these days, I can use my 256gb from previous phone. v30 front camera was bad so Xperia one seems good to me. Setting refresh rates on games is handy as most of mine are puzzle games which don't require hrr. Side bar can be set to take screenshot if double tapped, saves you from pressing power button and volume. Notifications led I've missed for years, works great but Xperia use to have their own settings so you could set individual apps which I can't seem to find on this

kevinmcmurtrie, 22 Oct 2021OK, I managed to finally get a working phone.
The Good:
-... moreOkay, I'll go over these points.
- False, This sounds like you either found a fake page or misunderstood something.
- Absolutely insane exaggeration, I disabled none of it and it works fine
- Sounds like a "not their problem" kind of problem
- False, it sounds like you just had technical issues you werent willing to troubleshoot. I just plugged my 1 iii in and the tv picked it up right away with a mouse and keyboard.
- False, you really hate troubleshooting, dont you?
- Your definition of a photo looking bad must be astronomical, this is a phone, not a dedicated camera
- I dont really understand this one, might be true though.
- You must be new to camera apps on the SD 888
- mine doesnt have this but I have heard that some phones do have this problem, as well others have some amount of chromatic aberration. Probably a QC problem.
- Mine doesnt have this either, but I would not be surprised if this is effecting other phones as well.
- How did you miss this one I am looking right at it?! Its the sixth one!
- Sony please fix this I will never talk to my phone.
- Also fix this, though my first time using a digital navigation bar was with the Z3, so I am used to this layout, a lot of people prefer other layouts.
- ...And?
- Do people need this? Media is the only volume I adjust on the fly. Let me know if someones needing to quickly adjust their alarm volume or something.
- Maybe you just have a bad phone holder? Thats not really an issue phone holders should have.
- This is just false, this phone is now my family's go to for gps support, my BiL's oneplus kept losing gps while giving directions but mine never gave out. Are you sure you dont just live in a house with bad reception in general?
- WHY IS IT SO DIM SONY WE KNOW IT GOES BRIGHTER!?
- and they all look the same under a case

kevinmcmurtrie, 22 Oct 2021OK, I managed to finally get a working phone. The Good: -... moreI saw this and at first was going to go through point-by-point, but it seems like you unfortunately had a very different experience with the phone than I have. Some of the things are preferences, some are user-related, some are true (e.g. flashlight), some are untrue (I have 5G on Verizon for example), and some are individual experiences that I simply have not had. Bummer that your list of what you don't like is so much longer than what you do. Hopefully you get something you really like soon.

OK, I managed to finally get a working phone.
The Good:
- Sharp screen.
- Loud and clear speakers in both speakerphone and stereo modes.
- Extremely fast booting and app launching.
- 27mm and 70mm cameras are sharp and work fairly well in low light.
- Headphone jack and 1 TB microSD support.
The Really Bad:
- Sony Support states that the US model has no 5G support in the US! NSA 5G might work. No VoNR, no SA 5G, and some carrier aggregation combos don't work.
- Absolutely insane shoveware. Maybe 10GB of it? It's almost impossible to get the phone up and running without first disabling all of it.
- Private application storage (/Android/data) on the microSD card is so slow that apps storing many files will simply hang. This is a Google bug and Sony hasn't provided a fix.
- There's no desktop mode when plugged into an external monitor. In fact, it can't detect a USB mouse and keyboard while using an external monitor.
- The External Display app isn't working. Everything I've tried sees an MTP device and the screen says no video source is connected.
- There are two sets of camera and video apps. The basic ones look bad. The "Pro" ones are far too fussy for the tiny cameras on a phone.
- Screen brightness lock is missing for the camera and video apps. Adjusting the controls causes wild brightness changes as your fingers get near the light sensor.
- "Pro" camera apps overheat the phone.
- 16mm lens has severe barrel distortion that needs software correction.
- 105mm lens suffers from severe flare and halos - it's pretty much unusable.
- NFC shortcut tile is missing.
- Assistant button configuration is missing.
- Customization of the 3-button navigation bar is missing.
- 3-button navigation bar covers video playback in browsers.
- Volume control is not a rocker switch. It's a short bar over two buttons.
- Configuration for the volume control is missing (always adjusts media).
- Having a long line of buttons on the right side of the phone means many phone holders can't be used.
- GPS reception is weak and often doesn't work indoors.
- Flashlight is uselessly dim.
- Early model of purple phone is purple. Later model looks black except under bright light.

I want this phone.
The only flagship with 3.5 mm jack.
The only problem is the price in my country.

this phone is so expensive i dont even consider it (despite i haves quite tons of flagships).. had xperia 5, was a generic phone like Alcatel, not much software for productivity. swiping didn't work from the corners. now this model is fixed to have proper screen but needs to have a oneplus price.. to bribe users who will close their eyes on poor camera.
