Beeper, 10 Jul 2021Except for the poor battery life and lackluster photos.I haven't seen any proof that it takes lackluster photos. What I have seen is a lot of reviewers who have a very skewed idea of what photography should be criticize Sony for not enforcing the generic HDR look on every photo. I've also seen a bunch of lazy reviewers simply refuse to use the camera app the way it's intended, and then pretend they're comparing apples to apples.

Beeper, 10 Jul 2021Except for the poor battery life and lackluster photos.Battery life can be extended (I hope, substantially) with dark theme, Game Enhancer for all my apps, getting rid of sucky Google apps, and Sony learning my mannerisms.
As for photos, Pro Mode gives me perfectly natural photos so I'm good with it. I'm not a social media junkie so it works for my needs.

I love Sony phones but would never buy a phone with screen less than 75mm wide.

Anonymous, 09 Jul 2021It is a weak point, but the alternatives are bigger bezels ... moreAlso agree. Notches are just lazy from a design perspective in my opinion, punch hole not much better. Was noticing my wife watching a movie on her S20 the other day (which has an aux output and SD card!), but there was this big ole black hole on the side. Inelegant solution. And I've read that the smaller sensor is used to save space on the bezel, but have had no luck in finding any specs on what the size difference would be using a 12mp sensor for example. That said, 8mp is not necessarily worse that 12mp, and as we've seen in things such as 108mp shooters, may actually be better in many ways. Is anyone shooting a selfie to blow up into a 6-foot frame for their home? We do it to share on our phones, so 8mp picture size v. 12 is likely irrelevant isn't it?

I preordered it on the 1st of this month. I realize it's not perfect. But it's the closest thing we got. No other phone has this specific collection of options.
sd card (ABSOLUTE MUST, should be illegal for phones not to have this)
headphone jack
front facing stereo speakers (very important to me, consume lots of media)
no notch
IP6X
indicator/notification light
wireless charging (I will have a stand at work and one at home)
amazing screen
excellent support for T-mobile bands (I refuse to use ATT or VERIZON)
width of the phone for me is great, I didn't want a giant phone, this seems like a good compromise.
This is only the THIRD phone I've bought in the last 18 years. I hold on to my phones and get my money's worth. So the price is less of an objection in that sense.
I really love the way this phone looks also.
I'm sure various little small things that people have pointed out will get fixed in future software updates. I have a feeling this will one will out sale both the XPERIA 1 and XPERIA 1 II.

I guess they figure that this is the least worst option. People who use the selfie cam will say that they are mistaken, and people who don't care about the selfie camera will they say that they're right. The question is who is there more of

So, over 1500 comments on this phone, from lovers to haters and in between. So I'm curious how many of us are actually buying this phone. I could only figure out 3 so far. I think.

Hi.
For a perfect cellphone like THIS, it is a weak point to Choose a 8 mega pixels SELFI camera, isn't it?
SONY experts must think again about it.
Agree?????? 🤔 🤔 🤔

Android-Authority, 08 Jul 2021More power to light up the 4k display while rendering lower... moreAlso, that applies to almost all phones. If the game is rendered at a lower resolution than the screen resolution, then it has to be upscaled to fit the entire screen. How else do you think a 720p render fits a 1080p or 1440p canvas? The display's resolution is fixed, so obly the render resolution can ve changed. If the render is in lower resolution, then the image needs to be upscaled and the upscaling algorithm has to run on something. Thats where the phones processor comes into play. The resources used by the algorithm differs based in the display's resolution. Thats what i said in my previous post, but in watered down simple terms, as i thought that would make the impact of higher resolution clearer.
Again, i am not comparing the xperia to xiaomi phones here, but just something to note as a possible reason as to why xperia performs slightly worse compared to Samsung.
