    Dometalican, 04 Oct 2021To put it simply, if Sony wants to kick butt next year, the... more1) they are not gonna wait until august to announce device, just to use 898+ with no befenit over 898. Being tsmc is not gonna make chip 5% better ...

    2) Sharp screen would increase price a lot because their lower production capacity compared to samsung

    3) 1 iv prototype has 5000mAh

    4) mmWave is too little used outside USA and increases price.

    - problem with selfie cam is space inside the bezel. There is no space for larger 12MP. The smallest 12MP (the ultra wide of iphone 12) is 50% larger than current 8MP insode mark III. Sony Semi is never gonna make a 12MP with 1/4" size.

    - phone would never be able to act like A9 using 48MP. Quadbayer is slower sensor. Imx557 needs 10ms to be scanned, while HM1/HM3 needs 30ms for 12MP photo. This is why the propotype with 50MP did not become the 1iii. To overcome this, they need to use the best tech Sony Semicon has (used by Alpha 1) but sensor would be too expensive and Sony Electronics would never pay for Xperia. Also, having 8K@60 depends on the CPU, not ISP. No mobile sensor can handle 8K@60 video.

    - 1iii has graphite already. Much more than 1ii. Watch teardown video.

    - keep dreaming on same dac of walkman. Too expensive and uses too much power. Also, current DAC is high level according to Juan Bagnell, just AMP is weak.

    - LDAC is advertised as CD quality, same new Qualcomm codec claims to be. LDAC is part of AOSP, but OEMs need to pay Sony to have it active.

    * I do not know the screen size of 1 iv, I just know bezels will be shorter than mark 3. If they increase screen, phone gets wider. Also heavier .... Something they do not want.







      Dometalican, 04 Oct 2021To put it simply, if Sony wants to kick butt next year, the... moreI would also expect UWB as next big thing.

        To put it simply, if Sony wants to kick butt next year, they should do the following to the Mark IV:

        1. Snapdragon 898+ (considering how long it takes for Sony to release phones, Samsung is the foundry for the vanilla, and so they don't technically have to compete with Samsung, Oppo, OnePlus, Meizu, and Xiaomi, this would be the best move for their 1 and 5 series)

        2. IGZO (if the 1 is about to head into $1,500 territory, they should do this. It gives Sharp plenty of time to make the displays for the 1 and crop for the 5 so that Sony has the most premium panel) OR LTPO (they just need variable refresh rate for God's sake)

        3. Bump in battery (minimum, 4,750mAH; just right, 5,000mAH)

        4. Complete reception (Europe's n80, n81, n84 and low-mid band mmWave since Europe is adopting it and North American 14 and 30 for 4G; n12, n25, n29, n30, n48, and all 3 mmWaves that are on the iPhones and Pixels to fully cover all the major carriers 100%. Not that reception is bad, but who doesn't want more?)

        Notable upgrades that aren't deal breakers but great to have:

        1. Move selfie to a small 12MP IMX sensor with 4K@60fps
        2. Do a dual lens module for the main camera. 12MP for pictures and 48MP with EIS for dedicated video with ISP to be able to record in 8K@60fps
        3. Graphite layers to help cool the device more
        4. 18W/10W wireless/reverse wireless charging
        5. Upgraded DAC to one akin to the $800 Walkmans (to be able to drive Hi-Fi headphones like what LG used to do)
        6. Create a counter Bluetooth codec that beats Qualcomm's AptX Lossless (Sony Audio could even make money off of this by selling this codec to Intel/Apple and Samsung's Exynos divisions)
        7. Increase the screen size to 6.7" for an interesting change. If Japan wants a smaller/lighter phone, that's the reason for the Xperia 5's existence.

        All this, even for $1,500 with a solid trade-in for the Mark III and bundled with say WH-1000MX5 (if they make one next year), I would get this in a heartbeat. Don't even care. I like my Mark III but it just needs 2-4 for absolute perfection in my book.

              Hi to all,

              I ran a test with CPU-Z application to verify something and I saw the following

              Screen resolution : 1096*2560 pixels
              Screen density : 427 dpi.

              Does anyone else has the same results?

              Thank you for your help and feedback!

              Have a great day

                  it's just way too expensive for what you get! Stay safe and learn to search real product information before you buy!

Looking at the clip section underneath that, you'll see the option for FPS. Just do resolution under 4K of the project, and FPS 120 under the clip section. That may be what you're looking for.

                                Hi
                                this is mostly to ask a question, on the spec-sheet you say sony xperia 1 iii has 1080p 120 & 240fps - how do you activate/use this?

                                the closest i can find is 2k@120fps in pro app and 720p@120fps in the camera app under basic

                                please help, thanks in advance
                                :)

                                    I do like the Xperia 1 iii very much and was contemplating of buying one. wish they had a better selfie camera tho, 8MP in 2021 just doesn't cut it. maybe they'll bump that up in the 1 iiii.

                                      KING DRANZER, 23 Sep 2021You dint check all the websites. B&H has them In Stock ... moreYeah B&H got them in stock just as they went on a 14-day "no shipping" holiday until September 30. They are also the only retailer that currently has it in stock.

                                      I finally ended up snagging a "open box" one at Best Buy. It was missing the original box, charger & charging wire - but at least I have the phone now. :)

                                      Compared to the Xperia 1 ii I was a bit disappointed with the heat generation; also it is a bit thicker (more antennae, larger chipset, 105mm camera). But all in all a nice upgrade - at least now I get both 5G and T-Mobile/Sprint network switching on Google Fi.
