Anonymous, 17 Jun 2021You're the one spreading fake new, troll. Here'... moreHe is not actually looking, just listening to that fboy reviewer.
Sony overexposed some daylight shots, Xiaomi overexposed some daylight shots. Sony overxposed some night shots, Xiaomi overexposed some night shots.
Its actually Xiaomi that overdid beauty effects in selfies there.
Some portraits were way worse looking on Xiaomi. Video was more detailed on Sony.
But the fboy rev got to say his crp opiniom there, "Xiaomi is waaay better..."
So, he believes it too. Despite what his eyes have seen

    K, 16 Jun 2021Hello, I am planing to get this phone and I have 2 question... more1. install Google Messages (SMS app). Let Google Messages sync to Google (Google Backup).
    Once you set up a new phone, it'll ask you to log into your google account and suggest restoring your data from a backup.

    2. use an SD card to transfer all your photos/videos

      KING DRANZER, 17 Jun 2021SONY for a very long time has been calling its Processing U... moreNo they don't. If you check their website for TVs and cameras, they clearly mention that they use X1 processor (Cognitive XR Processor being the latest) and BIONZ Processor for them respectively. The processor word is never mentioned for phones. They only call them engines for mobile, reasoning being there is no custom chip, just algorithms. You can even check the videos put up by Sony on their Sony Xperia channel for xperia 1 iii, they never mention a custom chip, just software alogorithms

        K, 16 Jun 2021Hello, I am planing to get this phone and I have 2 question... moreIf your device still works just fine, I suggest you to wait for Mark IV instead. And to answer your questions:

        1. There's an app called Xperia Transfer. Go check it out!
        2. See the answer above. Or use an SD card if you have one.

        Hope this helps!

              The Xperia got outperformed in almost every every area including night.
              Xperia might mode is terrible, turning night into day, while on Xiaomi you get different options with different time to be set for night mode, resulting in better night mode photos.
              Subpar 1/1.7" sensor can't compete with premium grade 1/1.12" sensor.
              Sony should have used their top shelf exymor sensor like they put on other brands to compete with mi 11 Ultra.

                        Cameras are my last concern on any phone. What I like about the 1 iii or even the 5 iii are the front facing stereo speakers, selfie in the bezel (where it belongs with all the other necessary sensors) no holes or notches in the screen, 3.5 headphone jack, and the very rare notification LED!
                        There was a time when ALL phones had these items. I wish we could go back to those days hardware wise. Unless I am mistaken there is no other OEM that has all of these features. This is the reason for my interest.

                          Hello, I am planing to get this phone and I have 2 questions, I currently have Xperia Z2 which is still works fine.

                          1. How can I transfer SMS messages from my current phone to this phone ?

                          2. I have about 40GB of files (pictures, videos, etc), Is it a ok to move all of them to my new phone at once ? I am getting the 256GB version.
                          Won't it cause issue or something if I move the 40GB at one time ?

                          Thanks for answering.

It take less than 10 seconds to set everything correctly, even then.the Auto (or Basic, like you) mode is much improved over the previous generation, matching and even beating the Mi 11 Ultra.

From what i have read and seen, Sony always emphasizes that X1 for mobile and Bionz X for mobile are engines. That means they are just software alogorithm that run on the main processor. If it were something custom, they would have mentioned it. For example,the XZ2 Premium used a custom ISP and Sony did mention it in their keynote.
                                Dont get me wrong, i am not trying to undermine what they have done, even an alogorithm, the X1 for mobile is good.

                                If you have some proof, do let us know. Else, its better to not consider them as individual chips

                                  Anonymous, 16 Jun 2021Any thermal cooling on this, as SD888 gets *HOT*Read my previous comments if possible regarding thermals. SD888 is not getting hot in there as the heat being generated is not from it alone there are total of 3 Processing units in there and out of which at-least two are in continuous use when display is on. SD888 main Processing unit, X1 Mobile the Display processing unit and BIONZ-X Image processing unit. That is why it runs hot and the heat is not generated alone from SD888. As you can see the Phone doesn't thermal throttle at all.

Check out how close the Xperia 1 III performs to the Mi 11 Ultra.

Most people only have the liberty to compare these with their older phone or with one that is in the family. And even then, each individual has their own taste. For example, as i said before, i personally dont like the night mode shots on pixel when a person is in the frame, a kot of the times it comes out looking artificial and photoshopped. I can say this because i own a pixel and have seen the results personally. I am sure there are people out there who wont notice it. Similarly, there are people out there who like to click pics of moving subjects, their kids, pets etc. I am myself like to take candid pics of my family members. For people like me, no other phone offers what xperia does, atleast to knowledge and that is superfast autofocus, which is extremely important when the subject is in continuous motion. So, in the end, the images do come down to personal preference. Some like overprocessed images with HDR and stuff, others like more true to life pics which xperia offers.

                                        Sure, taking pictures on a pixel is easy, but the output cant be universally liked by everyone. Otherwise, all phone manufacturers would have copied Google's alogorithm, but we can see that there are clearly differences between them
