              Not a deal breaker.

              - a headphone jack
              Not a deal breaker, but good to have.

              - expandable storage
              Many Android phones have it.

              - high quality stereo front-facing speakers
              Many Android phones have it.

              - a simple, flat-edged, rectangular design
              Not a deal breaker. Somewhat old design already.

              - H.S. power control, battery care
              Not that good actually.

              - control over the camera settings
              Software doesn't really match with the hardware.

              - photos without excessive post-processing and HDR
              It doesn't look as good.

              really suggest you to move on from Sony. other than the headphone jack, i don't see why you must choose Sony. if you really care about audio quality, probably get a Sony Walkman, if not, there are phones that support LDAC and aptX HD.

But for me, Xperia represents a dying breed of smartphone that I'd be very sad to see go extinct. What will it signal to smartphone manufacturers if Xperia sells poorly? It'll signal that customers don't want:
                - a display with no notch or hole punch, no curving over the sides, square corners, accurate colors
                - a headphone jack
                - expandable storage
                - high quality stereo front-facing speakers
                - a simple, flat-edged, rectangular design
                - H.S. power control, battery care
                - control over the camera settings
                - photos without excessive post-processing and HDR
                The things manufacturers seem to think customers want instead of these are totally perplexing to me. So, more than all that, we supposedly want... face unlock?? Wut?? Super-fast charging, even though it's bad for the battery??
                Yeah, there are problems with the 1 III, but I'd rather give them a chance to ameliorate those problems going forward, rather than give all their good ideas the death penalty because of those problems.

The sd888, screen and ram alone will cost more than that. You are comparing a flagship with the best and most expensive individual components available and you are saying it is worth as much as a midrange phone. My friend you are delusional

                    AnonD-492870, 01 Jul 2021Is there no LDAC here? I do not see it specd in the detailsDo you think, Sony the owner of LDAC wont put LDAC in its own phone?)) gsmarena never write ldac codec in specs.

                      1300 cash from 450 phone.
                      do we really want support that kind

There are others similar reviewers out there like Linus ( he calls paid ones as showcases, though he didnt exactly do a review for this phone), MKBHD is good as well.
                        Genshin impact runs okay on iPhone. I normally run at high preset. There are dropped frames, but it is still playable. Cant say anything about S21 or xperia. Mainly bcoz xperia has mixed reviews out there and havent checked the s21. Some say xperia does get hot, but doesn't throttle. Chances are they dont play it long enough 🤷. Will definitely check it out when i get to buy it

The phrase about the s21 screen being better in every department was especially strange. I assume they mean every department except, colour, resolution and no punch hole interruption. Which doesn't leave much. Just seems like they accentuate what it can't do as well but ignore or take away importance of what it does do better.

                            Tann Hauser, 06 Jul 2021Well, look up TK Bays much more extensive gaming review of ... moreMr.mobile is one of the most honest reviewers out there. He is the only one to put a disclaimer at the end, suggesting authenticity of his reviews. Others get paid to review, so they can't put any.

                            Call of duty isn't a heavy enough game. It gives similar framerate on other Snapdragon 888 phones.

                            The reason why people use Genshin impact to measure thermal performance and gaming is coz it is the only game to push the cpu and gpu hard enough, and phones without properly thermal management like Xperia 1 III, Galaxy S21 Ultra Exynos, iPhone 12 pro Max get exposed.

I dont know, ... moreNo it doesn't have a macro camera, it has eye tracking, face tracking 20fps burst with correct exposure and focus in all 20 shots. Phones with macro cameras do not have these features and Sony doesn't have macro capabilities. And yet they cost similar. Pick what is important for you and buy it and stop complaining. No phone has everything no matter the price

                                It was tested and confirmed at 4k res and at 120hz working simultaneously on video recorded tests.

                                But here they say otherwise.
