Sony has very natural never over processed images they don't like over saturated, over blown and processed like Huawei, Samsung etc. Your opinion on them being better is not factually correct.

I can still use wireless, but having that jack gives me space to charge and listen at the same time. I like to keep all my photos on my SD card, and I take a lot of photos on my phone so this is a benefit, but I wouldn't call it a useless feature.
The 21:9 aspect ratio is weird at first, but I got used to it pretty fast. I read a lot on my phone (articles/manga/etc) and that tall aspect ratio helps in that regard. Holding the phone is more comfortable than the 18:9 of the XZ2 Premium. I feel like phones now are too wide, so this is a more comfortable design. You don't like it and that's fair, it's a subjective area. That doesn't necessarily make it a con tho.

"more comfortable design to hold" the TV remote design? Personally I don't like it, and I find it to be a gimmick simply because most content online isn't even available in 21:9 aspect ratio. Netflix has some 21:9 content but the list is rather small.

Is there anything other than the camera on the Sony that bothers you? Like Sony flagships have headphone jacks and SD slots, more comfortable design to hold, and other things that flagships nowadays are omitting.

The difference is minimal. Sometimes the Sony us better, sometimes it is worse. The cameras are excellent, the computational part is worse. But if you are unable to use manual mode to Equal and Excell the computational photography of other phones then that is on your lack of knowledge not on the camera. No matter your knowledge you aren't going to beat the 20fps exposure and focus that the Sony brings you. And no matter your knowledge you aren't going to outzoom the 280mm optical on the s21 with your Sony.

Why don't you answer me what I asked you in the first place? Why did you have to mention a "real" account like it was some kind of an argument against Anonymous? Are you so frustrated that you want to humiliate other person with just about anything ?
Dude... We can see what are you doin and it's like you said.. not giving opinions. Just bashing.

I'm pretty sure X1III has quite good battery life even in 4K-120HZ mode. Curious to see if Sony engineers manage to squeeze bigger battery in this relatively compact phone next year.
- From what I know front camera is already improved, but will wait for a proper review. Personally I don't use it that much, especially when I can make selfies with the main cam by using shutter button. What I'm more interested about is continuous optical zoom instead of 2 fixed optical focal lengths. Would have been nice to have for example 50 mm + 70 mm + 105 mm and all in-between values as optical zoom. Would have been great in my opinion.

That's to be expected because Qualcomm releases a new chipset every year.
- Increase battery life
Also to be expected as Li-ion batteries get denser and denser
- Improve inward-facing camera
This one is rumored but they should be using a Sony Exmor RS sensor instead of Samcrap

These Xperia phones just get better and better every year. It looks like the 1 III is not quite perfect, but it was so close that I bet the 1 IV might actually get there. They're probably going to
- Move away from the 888 (fixing overheating problems)
- Increase battery life
- Improve inward-facing camera
That would make it the perfect phone for me. One feature that would be an absolute dream for me that I'd absolutely adore would be if they replaced the google assistant button with a slider for the variable zoom lens (allowing continuous zoom with physical controls).
