    I'm giving back my Xperia 1 III, and this is why. The first 3 reasons were decisive; the other ones just unpleasant

    - Although I've updated to the latest firmware since day 1, phone keeps getting warm even when using facebook or seeing some YT videos. Not to mention when using the camera...

    - Screen is not bright enough. I noticed it during a quite cloudy day outdoors, I can't imagine in the very sunny summer days

    - It has no face unlock. I know that it is not the safest unlocking method, but I would like to be able to choose... Having only fingerprint makes it hard to use with gloves.

    - It supports no call recording via Google Phone, whereas my OnePlus with the same app does. This is not Sony's fault, obviously, but it is a feature that is important to me.

    - Switching audio between earphones and loudspeakers is OK when using YouTube or Phone app, but is NOT possible for embedded videos in Linkedin or Facebook. This is only one of many small glitches in the software. Another one is the Google Photo gallery: when deleting one picture, can't delete the following one immediately

    - Torch light intensity is really too low

    On the other side, this is what I will miss (because I liked it a lot!)

    - 3.5 mm Jack
    - Display colours
    - Camera button
    - Form factor
    - Camera (even in point & shoot)
    - Front Speakers
    - Aptic feedback

      This is the fastest phone in 2021, or heck, the fastest phone ever. Seriously nothing beats the fluidity and speed of the Xperia 1 III.

        Anonymous, 20 Sep 2021You sound like someone just kill your family ok troll..

          Best. Phone. Period. Ask away for my review or for any tips with setting it up.

          Only cons I see are:
          1: Battery life is decent, not great, but not terrible. It'll last all day on lighter use
          2: The flashlight is not very bright. Not a big deal at all
          3: Yes, the phone does warm up, but this may vary. I'm running a leather back snap on case, so it may be detrimental to my particular cooling, but I have not yet run into an overheating warning.

                    I own 2 sony phone, xperia 5 ii & xperia 1 iii. Both are very good but i feel very disappointed when after few days i use it i found a dust under the camera on my both phones. This should not happening. I used many brands like samsung, huawei, rog 5 and iphone, none of them have this issue like dust under the camera lens.

                        The APK for the Sony Gallery app is available on APK Mirror.

                          Okay here we go. I can't tell how I feel about this phone. Listen to me and not that morons that wants to give you bad impress about phone. It's just one of best things that happened to me. This phone is absolutely wonderful and stunning. It's design just stuns, it's perfectly made, fits in hand beautifully. Its speed is really unnormal, it goes as thunder. I like the screen, has 4K and you can switch between 60hz and 120hz. Second one when enabled, is like fastest train. Its really fast and smooth. Also 60hz ofcourse good enough. I like the features, and good interaction, accessibiltz to aplications. Sony kept his menu, which is the best. Con is that original gallery from Sony is lacking. You have google foto app now. So the screen is really amazing and has powerful the best protection victus gorilla glass. 4k and 120Hz killer combination. I like the 21:9, its perfect for streaming and everything. Omg amd camera!!! The pictures are incredible, so much detail, also when you zoom, and didn't even tried all features and modes. Wooow. Cant breathe hahah. Omg that phone is the best phone. If you want best phone, buy Sony, is on another level. Its like the best classmate who is polite and has 10s marks. Sony the best, quality, really speed and beyond!!! Buy it!!!

                            MrSpoon, 17 Sep 2021this phone even exists? so limited, and it isnt even limite... moreUnless the person who is discovering a Snapdragon 888-powered phone doesn't need a MicroSDXC slot, 3.5mm jack, a notification LED, a powerful full-control photography and videography app, and some essential fundamental features that certain users or people prioritized (and of course Sony community circle itself) and towards more trends like Superfast Charging, powerful computational photography, near a bezel-less phone, advanced cooling technology, etc., this phone and its smaller siblings are the solely the only phones to cover those essential features I mentioned in earlier in one whole phone based on this website phone finder search tool:
                            https://www.gsmarena.com/results.php3?chk35mm=selected&sChipset=77&idCardslot=1

                            Sure, it took longer to reach customers' hands, but when you're a niche player or one of the last in line in the queue and you are only able to secure an S888 chipset later in the chipset worldwide shortage, well expect 1 III and 5 III only to launch later on.

                              this phone even exists? so limited, and it isnt even limited edition.
                              There is no point is producing a flagship no one can buy and that by the time it is available, others already have better for less.

                                Flashlight is terrible. Nothing more to be said about that.

                                Selfies...are actually hit or miss. I got perfect shots in daylight but lower the light and...it gets difficult. Thankfully, I don't care for selfies but Sony did promise an improvement to this section.

                                If you have the phone, here's a major tip in case you guys are having a wifi to 5G/LTE issue when shutting wifi off: Battery Optimization (search for it in settings if you have to) < exclude anything involving network such as Cell Broadcast Service, Receiver, and Google Framework. Worked like a charm for me after a few minutes.

                                Still a great phone. Really hoping they add variable refresh rate to this phone and the 5 (even last year's).

That's a big snafu leaving the factory like that. And Dometalican is right. The camera stuff is overwhelming at first, but tons of fun to play with. And I really do enjoy the pictures better than any phone I remember. Has a very DSLR look to it. After having such overprocessed pictures from phones for so long, and getting more so, seeing what's really there is refreshing.

Sent it in for warranty repairs because it bootloops while fast charging. Sony is using FedEx so this is going to take a LONG time :/ It has spent 4 days on a local truck then traveled 50 of the 2400 miles before taking a break.

I did feel overwhelmed by the camera options but that's a good thing. Photo enthusiasts all over Reddit have edited their stuff and it's breathtaking.

                                        Appreciate the comments. Glad you enjoyed the read. Here's hoping some software updates will help with the battery using adaptable refresh rate or something.
