    RKgeek, 26 Aug 2021How does the Sony Xperia 1 Mark III compare to Samsung Gala... moreYes it is but bit to expensive

      rizki1, 26 Aug 2021launched in april, released in august great job sony.Sony Mobile has less market share then Samsung mobile and Huaweii and we are in a Covid 19 pandemic and silicone shortage.

        Anonymous, 24 Aug 2021Agree, 5G is useless unless 5G SA becomes a standard5G not useless the MM wave isn't used outside USA only Sub 6GHZ

          This phone rivals Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra and will defeat overpriced iPhone 13 Pro Max with lighting cable no USB C

            How does the Sony Xperia 1 Mark III compare to Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra is it superior like Sony Xperia 1 Mark II was superior to Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra?

              rizki1, 26 Aug 2021sorry, but can you explain why? and i saw many phones annou... moreI can actually answer this one. BBK (Oppo, Vivo, and OnePlus to which IQOO and Realme are included), Samsung, and Xiaomi tend to order a TON of processors in one fell swoop so that they're all ready for their 5-7 flagships they release for the year. Remembering that Samsung helped build the architecture of the 888 (and the upcoming 898), I wouldn't put it past Samsung to hoard a ton of them thereby screwing over Sony...

              Let's also not forget, with Xiaomi being a Qualcomm favorite, they were fine designing the pointless 860 in the middle of this thing.

                Hmmm interesting 🤔

                  rizki1, 26 Aug 2021launched in april, released in august great job sony.No wonder nobody is buying it. Normal people loose hype within one month.

                          Wachira, 25 Aug 2021The sony phones lacks security features mainly anti theft. ... moreUh...just link your Google account to 'Find My Phone's and be done with it? Every Android phone can be set up with that. Me (LG V20) and my wife (Huawei Mate 20 Pro) have it set up.

                              This phone does support aptX Adaptive (and HD,LL) if anyone was curious.

                                Stanley Kubrick, 24 Aug 2021Well, if the parts shortage is real, (I have my doubts) and... moreI understand that but that feels like Samsung (you know...the folks that worked on the 888 models) had a say in hoarding a great number of those parts to try to eliminate Sony in the process. Let's not also forget how stupid Qualcomm was wasting time on a measley processor like the 860 during the shortage of the parts for ONE region when the 855/855+ could have been used.

                                It just screams suspicion and stupidity with these delays.

                                  Dometalican, 24 Aug 2021So now, for the US, the phone is being shipped out on the 1... moreWell, if the parts shortage is real, (I have my doubts) and seeing that Sony sells far fewer phones than just about any other OEM, then they are probably the low man on the totem pole so-to-speak when it comes to parts availability and assembly line operations. I would bet that Sony has a number of phones sitting on a shelf...just not enough to start mass shipping. The last thing they need is to hear people say "mine shipped" and then they run out of stock and have to delay people piecemeal. This would cause more anger than just delaying everyone at the same time until they can get a satisfactory number of phones available for shipping so that shipping does not outpace production.

                                    Fanto, 24 Aug 2021Hi guys, somebody got a shipping notification from Amazon? ... moreConsidering Best Buy has it coming on September 10th, it seems to be in line with how the US is getting shafted and I'm as upset as you are. People here laughed at the idea of Sony going MediaTek for the Xperia 5 (which the Mark III still doesn't have a release date) and 10 to avoid this junk with Qualcomm...

                                      Fanto, 24 Aug 2021Hi guys, somebody got a shipping notification from Amazon? ... moreI can only imagine how mad you are. Brutal.

                                        Mangoon, 24 Aug 2021I ordered through Adorama. Phone shipped today. Sucks abo... moreI forget. Do you live in the US or in Europe? It just baffles me that we're delayed again without any explanation (not even a potential Sony-trying-to-last-minute-get-mmWave-baked-in type of reasoning).
