It may be one of those short-term gains at the expense of long-term viability. When others are giving YEARS of updates and Sony is all "Meh. We'll give you one. And that one will be available in just a few months. So it's pretty much just the one Android update that honestly is just a month or two away. Then we'll add security updates to something that is already stable." The "We care about long-term battery longevity!" line when I am potentially losing on out security and Android features...It makes me leery of what I am actually getting long-term, you know? And all this is said about a phone that I WANT. Why make is so difficult to take my money??

    And if i am being honest, this is the one thing that might make put off the idea of getting one, of its true. I like the rest of the package, but only one major Android update is a concern. I am not even asking for 3 or 4 OS updates like Samsung or Google, but a confirmed 2 would be good.
    And i know we can root the phone and do it ourselves, but i dont really like the idea of rooting as it breaks a lot of the already working fearures sometimes

      Those curve adjustments he mentioned. Was they added in the photo pro app before he took the image. Or did he adjust the image after it was taken?

        Whaddya think the chances are that Sony is only planning on doing one major update (to Android 12) with 2 years of security updates as is being reported? That's ridiculous.

            Anonymous, 15 Jul 2021Does Xperia 1 mark III support mmwave 5G?Unfortunately not. They may have a month before its release but mmWave is still not listed on their website for the US so Verizon (and somewhat AT&T customers) lose on this iteration. I find that weird considering their Xperia Pro has it so they know it's a necessity for North America.

              Sony phones have a different feel to them. Their simple and clean UI, true to life colours, highest resolution screens, great sound quality via headphones, no over saturation of camera images, lovely and beautiful wallpaper themes along with the overall entertainment experience in a gracefull looking handset is the reason Xperia phones have garnered a Cult following even if the sales figures were low in the past few years. In a world where mobile phones are getting stagnant with not much difference from one generation to the next, everybody should get to taste the Sony Xperia experience atleast once. Big ThumbsUp to this device. Just finished the pre-order process n i cant wait to get it in my hands.

                            Finally pre-ordered. Sony 1 iii + Sony case with kickstand and a free pair of headphones 1334€. I liked the way they price the free headphones at 380€ when 200€ is more realistic for the xm3.

                                  M1, 11 Jul 2021What about HDR10 or HDR10Plus? you only talked about HDRHDR10+ on spec list is just a certification that display is able to run HDR10+ content and not necessarily that it can reproduce the peak brightness. None of the phones can do even 1,000 nits in a colorful full screen image.

                                      strongest WTO loby - remaining as "country in development" - one not respecting Paris accord - low eco taxing - cheaper energy cost - low labour cost - lower product cost. And then theres govrmnt shipping incentives also.
