Physical controls would be a great solution to that problem. Just put some kind of slider on the side of the phone to mechanically move the optics, like a normal camera. I think people would find that more enjoyable to use, too.

        if Sony wanted, they could allow the user to optically zoom between 3x and 4.5x smoothly.

          Alpha, 03 Jul 2021ok troll...They got quite a bit right but I find myself completely ignoring anything near this price point. I know phones do a lot, but paying more for a phone than a gaming pc is a very hard sell.
          Still, it's nice that sony is at least somewhat maintaining LG's legacy, although I'd prefer a less long screen. 18:9 is fine, I'm not watching movies on a tiny phone screen anyway. Making it that tall makes it ridiculously annoying to reach the top of the screen, made worse by google's decision to move sidebars to the top in apps like the play store etc.

            Alpha, 03 Jul 2021Not like Samsung, it doesn't have stupid lens to photo... moreI would have liked the Sony to have an optical zoom as good as the Xiaomi or the Samsung on it. I would also have liked the basic mode to have the option (note option) of the computational photography of the iPhone or pixels (which are better than the HDR Sony offers). I probably wouldn't use them that much but they are improvements over what Sony offers and I would happily have them. The problem with most people is that they want the phone they have or are going to get to be the absolute best, so when a different phone has something that their phone doesn't, they try to convince themselves and everybody else, that it is a gimmick and they wouldn't want it anyway. The truth is that if it is an additional option with minimal drawbacks and not an alternative then everyone would rather have them than not.

                          Who's been able to order? Still no answer from Sony as to why I am unable to pre-prder on their site. And I can't find any info online about the issue. Even the rep I talked with said "Yeah, that's weird. I can't order it online either. Well, I'll let someone know. Maybe check back in a couple of days." Gotta say, not the most reassuring interaction.

The screen sizes are nearly identical (71 v. 71.1mm, same height) so should work? I can't say anything about the selfie camera placement position or any other front-facing sensors. Likely somebody knows better than I.

One perfect, one bad Vs 2 not perfect and not bad on other phones with strange aspect ratios. Sony is all or nothing, others are a safe bet. Neither option is perfect or better than the other.

                                      Went to pre-order mine today, but the Sony website is wonky, not allowing pre-order to populate to the cart. Take my money, dammit!
