It's a boon on Snapdragon 888 devices.
People have reported around gains upto 1-1.5hr SOT

ASJ1901, 23 Jun 2021Lets be honest here, the main reason 1440p took off in mobi... more4K is certainly a cool thing to have on a phone, however for most people I think after using the phone it feels more like a gimmick than a feature to them. However there is no doubt Sony will continue selling 4k phones for the people who want the feature.

Android-Authority, 23 Jun 2021WQHD or 3k displays are the sweet spot. I know many people... moreI agree, WQHD is the maximum resolution a sensible manufacturer would put on a sub 7 inch display. However it has been proven that changing the resolution of 1440p display to 1080p doesn't actually conserve any battery, or conserves negligible amounts of battery, because the screen is still showing 1440p, just down scaled to 1080p so the only battery saving is from gpu having to power less pixels.

However a list of pros here:
+side mounted fingerprint reader = faster response & fingerprint clean screen
+front sided dual speakers = true stereo vs 1 ear stereo
+sd card = fast pc-phone file transfer
+3.5 mm jack = HQ music
+4K 120hz= no comment
+21:9 = standard aspect ratio
+no notch = 85% display to body ratio
+zero garbage, zero cloned google apps and services unavailable in most of the world such as samsung pay, smart(samsung)things, bixby(few languages), etc.
+aluminium & glass = no cheap plastic
+charger = unbelievable

Reds, 24 Jun 2021Liks what 240Hz touch sampling rate isn't enough? The ... moreExactly, even the S21 Ultra has a 240 Hz touch sampling rate, same as the Xperia 1 III. The iPhone 12 Pro Max actually has a 120 Hz touch sampling rate, that's what I call low.

Not sure what you meant by accurate, if you're talking about color accuracy, it should be the most colour accurate display out there due to the calibrated Creator Mode.
Overall brightness is better than the S21 Ultra, just that peak brightness is 200 nits lower,
1300 nits on the 1 III VS 1500 nits on the S21 Ultra

Anonymous, 23 Jun 2021They are not happy as touch sampling rate is low, the scree... moreThe screen is perfectly accurate (each unit is allegedly calibrated individually). The problem comes, much the same as the photography section, that people prefer oversaturated bright vivid colours, not dull accurate colours. The same as pro photographers say the camera is great and general reviewers say it is average. I'm sure a director will look at the screen of one of his creations and say that it is exactly as he wanted. A general tech reviewer will prefer brighter colours on other phones.

Anonymous, 23 Jun 2021They are not happy as touch sampling rate is low, the scree... moreHe's talking about resolution and those areas which you're talking about, what proof do you have for saying those? I'm sure a 10-bit 120Hz 4K OLED display is amazing to look at by any means. You said that they're not happy with the low 240Hz touch sampling rate that it's got, so with that logic, that means they are disappointed with the 120Hz touch sampling rate that the 12 Pro Max has got which the GSMArena team finds snappy. Not to mention it has an inferior 8-bit 60Hz 1080p+ OLED display. Same goes for Samsung's 8-bit 1080p and 1440p + a "low" 240Hz display. It's a few million colors and hundred couple of pixels inferior than 1 III's display. I don't get what they're not happy about :/

Anonymous, 23 Jun 2021They are not happy as touch sampling rate is low, the scree... moreHe's talking only about resolution, and barely anybody owns the 1 III so we can't say it's not as good as those devices. For a device that's barely in anyone's pocket, I think their judgement is quite far ahead. Don't you think 4K is a great feature for a phone? Of course the battery will take a hit because of that but in the past, Sony's 4K phones have good battery life even in such a small, pixel-densed, IPS LCD screens with such small batteries. I do think they're just being hyper critical with this Sony device. I wonder what they'll say about Samsung's and Apple's 4K phones in the future.

You can't give a particular screen the highest rating based on resolution alone.

These Phonereviewer and Android-Authority people dont seem to be happy with the 4K screen this phone has. I bet if it was Samsung and Apple in its place and vice versa, they'd be all over it and praise how good the screen is. I'm waiting for 4K Samsung and Apple phones in the future and see what these peps would say about 4K in such small screens as well.
