Xperia have sth called Game enhancer.
The good thing about that one is, its not only allocated to games as the name suggests, but you can assign any app to it, including web browsers, or whatever, and assign to every app that you want solely the 120 hz option. Rest of apps and UI will be running at 60hz, but those apps you want at 120hz will use it.
Options dont stop there, but any other option in Enhancer, including HS power control, etc,...are available for any app you allocate to it.

      I'd love to use 120Hz on occasions that call for it (gaming, web browsing, etc), hence why I desperately want someone to copy AutoHz from GitHub and apply it to the 1 Mark iii. I'm sure it will happen eventually.

        Just with two tweaks, the "location off/only app activated" and "adaptive brightness off", you can prolong your SoT for an hour to two more.
        And there are other more tweaks.
        This is not wishfull, but fact based state.

        So, you deserve just an "OK, You are right" reply.

              You guaranteed won't be getting 2.5-3hr more SOT.
              Look at endurance ratings of phones with HRR, there is hardly gains of 30min-1hr.
              You thinking Xperia will get 9h SOT is wishful thinking on your part

But it certainly doesn't downscale everything to 1080 as you claimed on your previous post. Otherwise there really would be no point in having a 4k screen (uhd screen to be exact)

                  And Yes it would.

                  I use my 5II at 60 hz and some options to reduce battery drain, and get easily 4-5 hr SoT more (average 12 hr SoT) than folk who use 120hz constantly and dont touch at all into options like location, adaptive brightbess, background app activity, etc..
                  Only using 120hz in some games that support it, but then again I dont game much...

                  So I deduct I could easily get at least 2,5 hr more on 1 III, or probably even more.

                      Sony software automatically reduces refresh rate during video content, etc.
                      You won't get 9hr SOT. You'll get an hour max

                          Read Gsmarena review of Xperia 1 II last year, They clearly mention how content drops to 1080p multiple times. There is no upscaling that makes it look better, otherwise they would have mentioned it.

                            So, when are we having it in the global market?

                              Well, TechNick posted the battery drain test and it drained all the way at 6 hours and 21 minutes at 4K@120Hz. That's actually not terrible at all. If someone at XDA makes a copy of AutoHz for the Xperia, dark theme, etc would pack the battery even better.

                              My mind is made up; totally waiting for this beast.

But I like the idea of a cell phone that I can put in a quality cellphone VR helmet and have a Jumbo screen experience in my pocket. I don't know if cell technology will advance into the multi-tool I envision but I remember when I thought a camera on early phone's was so poor that I thought it was a useless feature. I would let a phone serve as a phone and a camera serve as a camera. That was the truth 20 years ago, but not now. I haven't bought a new camera for a long time now thanks to the improvements on what was, in the beginning, a useless feature. I now hope cellphones continue improving in all conceivably useful ways. It is now my mind set to press every possible limit! If Sony was to make a VR helmet to pair with the Xpieria, that 4K screen blown up to a 200ft screen equivalent would be very useful and I would buy it. Due to my misjudgement in the early days of cellphone camera tech, I'm not inclined to pass off 4K cellphone screens as a useless improvement.

                                  Phone Reviewer, 21 Jun 2021How stupid of them to put a 4k display on a 6.5 inch smartp... more"How stupid of them to put a 1440p display on a 6.7 inch smartphone. I think only less than 1% of people will notice the presence of the 1440p display, and that's only when they look close. The 1440p is a pointless feature and a gimmick that does way more harm to the phone than good. I'd rather they have a 1080p display that doesn't drain battery as much. If people thought 1440p was useless on a 13 inch laptop, how could you want 1440p on a tiny 6.7 inch phone?"

                                  There, I fixed it for ya.

I seem to remember people saying the same thing about 2k not being useful on a small screen when it first started. I guess it is always a gimmick when somebody else has something your phone doesn't.
