Try the James lavish comparison with the iphone12 for example. A very clear example of oversharpening and computational imaging Vs traditional photography.

Which it is not. There are few reviewers who do that. Sadly majority of well known famous reviewers with huge following don't do that. What they should be saying is that learning curve is steep and for people who don't want to go through settings it is not suitable. Which we understand and can accept. But outright calling it to be inferior or not good is not correct at all.

XPERIA 1 III camera can do... moreThat might be true, but in their defense they mainly do reviews for common people and most common folk dont like to make manual adjustments to click everyday photos. Something easy like pixel or iphone camera is always a good option for most people. Though, most common folk wont notice the difference between a Samsung or a sony or an apple clicked image either. So, in the end it doesn't really matter, does it. For most people, they want to click to upload on social media and if MKBHDs blind test is anything to go by, the best point and shoot doesn't win that ever. It clearly shows what is more important to normal people who don't have multiple flagships to compare things side by side

          I think that all those reviewers are biased by one side or the other and I'm pretty sure that 100% of them are. You look at one review and it will say to you that let's say camera is great and on another channel it will say it's bad and so on every aspect. In the end, we should all understand that the flagships have pretty much the same hardware configuration and even the software is largely the same with some small overlays. The difference in price is made by the build materials like the kind of glass and maybe the display although those are also pretty much the same in the flagship area and camera optimisation. So, in the end we will end up paying for the name especially. If Sony Xperia 1 III would sell under a lesser name but exactly the same phone, it would cost 300 Euros less without question. Too bad I just love Sony and my house is packed with their overpriced products.
          So, my advice, just buy what brand you trust and like, anyway almost all are made in China with few exceptions.

            Anonymous, 15 Jun 2021Those tech Reviewers when given other smartphones said thos... moreLet me put this in a simple way. XPERIA 1 III camera can do almost everything other Flagships can. But the other Flagships cannot do what XPERIA 1 III camera is capable of. But to that XPERIA 1 III needs bit adjustment in the settings. But that is what reviewers don't like. Hence that call it to be bad. Reviewers are lazy.

Professional photographers say that it is incredible. Tech reviewers say it is poor. and im not just talking about 1 photographer and 1 tech reviewer. This was a common theme among reviews

                    When it was launched, people had high expectations from the 20mp camera, ultimately it lost to HTC, LG and Samsung.

                    Thet have improved their cameras since the launch of Xperia 1 series, but it's still behind Huawei, Samsung, Xiaomi, Oneplus and others.

                      Sony is like Virgen trains. You have to wait for a long time before they come.

                        This phone can actually run at 4K 120Hz at the same time.

                          At this point, Sony has the next couple days to reveal pre-order dates that land in June (assuming 2 weeks are given for bonuses and whatnot). They are SO lucky the ROG phone 5 Pro hasn't launched in the US yet as well.

                          Sony should dabble with MediaTek for the 5 and 10 mark IV next year because this chipset shortage is killing them...

                            They pay the price for this with lackluster results in photography compared to other flagship and then you guys blame the weak sales on lack of marketing. In reality, it's simply not on the level of other flagships, which is why people avoid them in year 2021.

                              They can't wrap their heads around the fact that other manufacturers can launch mid range priced phone with flagship specs. This is yet another reason why Chinese manufacturers ate all the market share of Sony, LG and HTC.

                                      Retention of SD card and 3.5mm jack, while having top tier camera unit (HDR/ fast tracking/ periscope), explains my patience in waiting for Xperia 1iii release. But please don't abuse my patience & exploit with excessive premium price.

                                      Also, why is it released in Mainlance China first (nowhere else in the world)???
