    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.

                  The only premium phone out there. Gaming phones are stuck at Full HD and a RAM race.

I bought the purple phone from Sony directly with the earbud bundle. They said I could return it for a refund or repair it. The purple US region phone isn't being sold anymore so I asked for a repair.

                      kevinmcmurtrie, 24 Sep 2021Two weeks after sending in my 1-day old phone that bootloop... moreI don't know where you purchased it from. But majority retail stores(need not be online) provides minimum of 7-day return and replacement policy.

                      Okay lets say you purchased from a store which doesn't support return and replacement policy. You should have taken it directly to SONY service center. SONY themselves offer 30day(or 15day depending on the region) replacement offer as long as you purchased from Authorized retailer.

                      You skipping on all those less complicated procedures was a bad move. Don't know why you did that. Hope they fix the issue.

                        Will this work on Wind Mobile in Canada? and which version is preferable for Canada - International or the US? especially in terms of over the air upgrades? Thank you.

                          Two weeks after sending in my 1-day old phone that bootloops while fast charging, I got a box from SBE repairs. It says the warranty is void due to "Unauthorized Repair / Modification" and they gave me back somebody else's phone with a trashed bootloader. The phone they sent back isn't even the right regional version.

                          Sony Support refuses to help and and SBE doesn't answer the phone. I'm giving them a week to fix this before starting a credit card chargeback.

                            I love this phone, the speed is insane, the screen absolutely beautiful and all the features missing in today's flagships it's there here!

                                Mangoon, 19 Sep 2021Where are you living that this phone can't be shipped to? Can't speak for the OP, but same story here. I live in the US, so have been waiting to get my hands on the XQBC62/B model, initially advertised on Amazon as available on August 25. My preorder did not come through at that date (they still don't have it in stock), and none of the other retailers mentioned on Sony's website seem to have any in stock yet.

                                The various international flavors (like the XQBC52, XQCBC72) are readily available though, but with limited or no 5G in the US.

                                BTW: Is anyone using this phone (XQBC62/B) with Google Fi? Does this phone support their network switching feature to automatically switch between T-Mobile and legacy Spring towers? (Or, do you get T-Mobile towers only?). I know it is not "Designed for Google Fi", but I'm also trying out a OnePlus Pro 9 which _does_ support this feature despite also not having that moniker.

That app had covered basic operation a lot better and more intuitive than Google Photos. But I guess everyone is into app recognizing faces, pets and locations these days. Sony didn't want to bother with smart tagging and they forefitted the app.
