      Seriously though, I just hope that SONY works on their embarrassing marketing strategy because they build truly premium quality products.

It's not that narrow also. My previous phone was 19.5:9, and I gotta say the Xperia feels so much better in my hand. I now see other wide forms as unappealing. If that's your only issue, then I suggest you hold it and see for yourself.

              I just have no idea why would SONY use a SAMSUNG lens for the front cam, not that I care that much about it but still 🤔

                  I've had this phone now for two weeks or so, and I'm really impressed. I can't say I've covered everything about it. In fact, I'm far from covering most things, but you gotta give these innovators a credit for what they've built.

                  The display is simply gorgeous. Brightness is really good, not like some reviewers were promoting. I put it under direct sunlight in a really sunny day and I could see the screen just fine. Not IDEAL, but just fine and that's all I care about.

                  The battery also was surprisingly good considering this is a 4K display. It lasts from almost half a day to day and half depending on your usage. The charger is absolutely what they advertised. It's really fast that I couldn't care less when to charge the phone. It goes up to 50% in 30 minutes or a bit less even. Of course the battery in something like iPhone 13 Pro Max is much much greater as I've seen it myself, but again the Xperia has a 4K display, so it's not a really fair comparison. And again the battery is more than fine, it won't bother you in the slightest. And btw, Stamina mode is really effective.

                  As for the flashlight, yes, it's dimm.

                  Overheating, is not an issue as long as you don't play with something like Cinema pro for an hour or so. It should have been better.

                  Selfie camera is average at the very best, but I'm not self-obssessed, so I don't take lots of selfies. I only take occational selfie or two with family or friends once or twice a week at most. In daylight, it's just fine. In low light though, you're better be friends with someone with an iPhone to be honest.

                  Main cameras are gorgeous. The colors are the nearest to real, unlike almost all other phones. A couple of things though, if you wanna go with Auto mode, scene recognition of is slow and isn't always accurate right away, so you might sometimes hide the lenses for a second or move the phone a bit to get a different scene, as there is no option to change the scene yourself for no apparent reason, unless you're using the manual mode anyway. The focus area, when you choose wide instead of center, it isn't always wide and I don't know why. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, after all I'm not a Pro. Over exposure can sometimes be easily noticed in pictures, and I've never tried an ND filter before on a mobile. Maybe you guys can tell me if it's worth it or not.

                  Speakers are loud and clear. Btw, louder than iPhone 13 Pro Max.

                  Should you buy the Xperia 1 III ?
                  Well, if you're an Android user, and not into crazy zoom capabilities, then definitely, imo.
                  But, if you're an apple user, then you know you won't. The iPhone 13 Pro Max isn't bad in the slightest and it's not a wrong choice. It's a really good fast premium phone with fantastic cameras. But it's OS and approach to certain things isn't appealing to everyone, just like the Xperia isn't appealing to everyone.
                  It's always very nice to see some real competition with different approach regardless of the brand. Just remember guys, they're all competing to please us, not the other way around.
                  Have fun.

I'm not sure if I would be disappointed by iOS. I have not customized anything on my xperia xz2. I would miss my notification light on my for sure. Also my battery needs to be charged three times a day.. so a good battery is very important haha. Have had xperia for years now. This choice is really difficult 😣

Point-and-shoot on Auto Pro mode has been fantastic for a lot of us that Cafe about natural pictures. The overheating has pretty much been fixed in one of the updates Sony pushed out as well. The battery life is the only thing that's true; it's not that great and could have benefitted from a display with variable refresh rate.

                        If anything, your safest bet is the iPhone since you have a Mac already. It should suffice just fine for what you want to do.

Never had an iphone before, but using a Mac for years. Having small kids I just want to point and click instead of having to use a pro mode for good pictures. I own Xperia phones for years, but this time I'm more in doubt because of some bad reviews of the Xperia. And the iphone cameras seem to be very good. Also I can't see the Xperia in any store which would make the purchase just a blind guess. Maybe I just have to wait for some time.

Contrary to the other poster, I went with the Xperia. Just don't want to get locked into the Apple ecosystem. Apple works great with, well, Apple. And I don't like the distinct lack of customizable options. That said, and have, that Apple makes a great product, but the features they have and lack, even if was within the Android system, I'd still have chosen the Xperia over the iPhone.

                              Good luck to you.
