mobileman, 06 Jul 2021Wella,looks My 1st opinion deleted..might Be too stright .b... more450 phone? Let's at least try to be a little serious here. 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

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.

Iracundo, 06 Jul 2021Mmmmm, $1300 dollars and has no macro camera? 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

notafanboy, 06 Jul 2021Pathetic battery life!Yeah, we get it, its not that good and its same as last years. Last more SoT worth than Mi 11 Ultra tho.

Xperia is cheaper than same ram/rom top models of those two.
And despite, gives an extra charger in the box, and some expansy earphones for it. I think its a very good deal considering.

For all the talk about how expensive the 1 iii by every reviewer (they don't seem to compare the various memory size options), the price just came out in HK (all phones are purchased unlocked). Factor in that Sony has expandable memory to 1TB so one could even compare the cost of Sony against 512GB versions of 12pro Max and S21 Ultra is more than what I've quoted below
Today's Price found in Fortress.hk (equivalent to Best Buys)
Sony Xperia 1 iii (12/256GB) $9,299hkd
Samsung s21 Ultra 5G (12/256GB) $9,698hkd
Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max (12/256GB) $10,199hkd
USD/HKD rate is 7.77 today. So the USD equivalent is $1197, $1247, $1313 respectively. Granted the actual cost of all three phones are different in each country factoring discounts and promotions.

But i also said that Sony did a poor job if they skimped on cooling or proper optimization of OS. So, now i am confused about your insistence on the point.
Anyways, as i said most people wont buy a gaming device just for one game when the gaming device costs as much as xperia or rog 5 does.

The RAM, motherboard, bios etc all play a role. There is a reason all sd888 equipped phones produce different results on benchmarks. And i just mentioned the example of rog phone 5 which is equipped with sd888 but still had dropped frames in genshin impact in the review video that i saw. It was MrMobile's review if you are interested. And i doubt anyone makes a purchase decision based on that one game they play, especially if it involves spending 1300$/1300€/1200£.
And i am also saying that if Sony did indeed skimp on cooling (i dont know if they did or not) then its on them.
And i also said that the phone running pre-release software isnt an excuse as they were the ones who sent the review units out, they should have been ready for it.
As much as i love Sony, i know there are not perfect.

Fake.
It does 4k 120hz.
It has dedicated X1 mobile chip to render 4k 120hz.
Many other reviewers already tested this.
