I think this is the only flagship that still has both microsd and a 3.5 jack. Thank you Sony might have to get one of your devices.

    Phone Reviewer, 27 Jun 2021I mean, if they find 4k crisper than 1440p, that's cal... moreSome people who used a 4K Sony phone in the past seemed to enjoy the crisp display. If you think 1440p is like the sweet spot, then so be it. But why slam on Sony's 4K screens so much when its a really great feature? If you think 1440p is great for phones, then some people might find 4K more enjoyable.

      The difference is really tiny, don't you agree?
      Increasing from 120 hz to 240 hz provides good performance boost for gamers, while 480 hz is not really worth it. Diminishing returns are too big here and to be honest I don't think even professional gamers can make use of it.

      Other parameters of the screen like resolution, color accuracy and other parameters are better to consume content and don't suffer from diminishing returns that much.

For liking your own comments to feel better? To report trollers for constant bashing same brands and seeing them they are still here? So? Whats the advantage of "real account"? Lets just look at your latest comments and on which thread they are. You are bashing same non-chinese brands and their buyers and nothing cant be done about that. Nobody cant stop you and you know it. Thats why you're doing that. Because you can. So whats the point of having a "real" account. I really want to know your "opinion". Thank you.

You guys argue about delta values in terms of color accuracy where such a minor difference won't be noticed by user in real world, but when it comes to touch sampling rate which is noticeable immediately, you say it isn't important. Kindly give credit where it's due instead of acting like the grapes are sour

                Serious guy, 25 Jun 2021Who cares about touch sampling rate (mi 11 ultra has 480hz)... moreHigher touch sampling rate is definitely better for competitive gaming. That's why you usually see them in gaming phones but rarely on regular phones (it drains more battery)

With 480 hz touch sampling rate response time is 2.1 ms. Compared to 240 hz with 4.2 ms the difference is only 2.1 ms. There are 1000 ms in 1 seconds, so the difference is really non existent.

                        There is a reason why Gsmarena concluded that MI 11 was the smoothest android experience among all phones tested in their long term review.
                        Chinese brands don't just give unnecessary spec sheet on paper.

Maybe they're just mindblown of how crisp the display is and that's it. I agree with him tho, 4K is so much of a great feature now rather than a gimmick. "Tell the difference" gave me a facepalm.

                                The other point was to try to explain the reason why 1440p took off, which has nothing to do with people noticing changes, but more with marketing.
                                I am not saying everyone should get the xperia 1 iii, but you would have to admit that this phone is quite unique in a sea of similar phones just wearing different clothes (not to take literally, i am just talking day to day use, not in-depth).
                                We, Sony fans, mostly like that about Sony. Sure, it may have a couple of gimmicks, but who doesn't. Everyone likes to add something extra to make their product different from the rest.
                                And that 4K screen is much better gimmick than some stuff other manufacturers have done. I am sure there are people out there who can differentiate the resolution and will make use of that high res display.
