    Anyone knows why this phone is so smooth? Like I can't believe my eyes when I interacted with this phone. This is hands down the smoothest display I have ever seen on a phone, smoother than both the S21 Ultra and Mi 11 Ultra at 120 Hz.

      Dometalican, 11 Jun 2021Dang...considering you have 120Hz turned off, this might...... moreSo...Why not consider Xperia 5 III if batterylife is your concern?
      It s a real powerhouse just as 1 III, sans the wireless charge, and will most cerainly have better batterylife, as even 5II with 4000 mah got 102hr.

      All in all it really all depends on how u use the phone, as far as battery is concerned. 3 hr SoT on 50% for someone, is 5hr SoT on 50% for other.

      Some People get 7 hr SoT on 5II, yet I get 13 hr SoT on 5 II.

            Goodness...guess I'm sucking it up to the ROG 5. Battery life is the most important aspect in a phone and as much as I hate the lack of expandable memory, IP rating, and stupid aspect ratio, battery is brutally important to me and ROG covers most of the hardware cues better than all other phones that work in the US.

            That stinks because I really wanted to like this phone but that 4,500mAH battery turned me off; knowing that it was going to run 4K@120Hz (probably even dumber that they didn't add some customization options to enable 120Hz based on the apps you're using).

              Dometalican, 11 Jun 2021Considering you have the phone, can you tell us here your b... moreSure, with 4G connection on and some apps (wechat, etc) running in background, the battery drops from 90% to ~83% during the night. In the day time, I usually set the brightness to half of the auto mode and have wifi on, but set 120 hz to off. It further drops to 45%~55% with about 3 hrs screen on, including maybe half an hour gaming. In my case, the battery life is on par with II, and the temperature is also similar to II if not gaming. However, the phone gets really hot when it is charging with the 30W charger.

Nobody seems to cover that and it's the unfortunate determination if I'm getting this phone or not.

                  In chinese reviews, 600~700 is under auto mode while 400~450 is under manual mode, with full screen lit up.

                      alanyu, 11 Jun 2021I have never seen III twice as bright as II under a good su... moreYou haven't seen it obviously because there's very little to no scientific tests done with the phone. It isn't released in many places yet after all.

                      Even if TechNick's test result is not super accurate, the actual brightness of the 1 III shouldn't be too far off from the actual readings with the proper equipments.
                      If you say 700 to 750 nits, then it's actually really close to the other phones like the S21 Ultra, which is just under 830 nits in max auto brightness.

                      Another thing is, that 1300 nits is really possible with the 1 III but only for like a small portion of the screen, like 25% or so.
                      The smaller the screen surface area being lit up, the higher the perceived brightness will also be. Even the S21 Ultra can only achieve 1500 nits when 25% of its screen is used, otherwise the whole display will only shine up to 830-something nits at max.

                        ShadowJay, 10 Jun 2021look at technick's review, xperia 1 iii is 800+nits br... moreI have never seen III twice as bright as II under a good sun. How can he get that magic 1300/800 nit? Note that III is only released in China now, and all Chinese reviews I saw say it is tested to be 600~700/400~450 nit, a bit brighter than II

                              I personally Dont like at all what all those Nightmodes overprocessing do to night scenes. Too much autoHDR overprocessing also destroys some daylight scenes. Even my 5 II overdoes it sometimes with its autoHDR in AUTO mode, getting colors and contrast all wrong, and it tends to be much more reasonable (milder) on HDR processing than other phones.
                              There are too much attrociously overprocessed photos going around social apps, dont know which devices made them, but Im certain them are not Xperias.

                              So, IMO no wonder association like TIFA awarded 1 III as best photo smartphone for 2021. They dont value overprocessed photo stuff. Thats what Instagram like apps are for.

                              If someone thinks that kind of photography is any good, well, then choose sth else, not Xperias.
                              Just please, dont blog social apps with them bad over-the-top-HDR shots, as it hurts my eyes, rather choose those that turned out not too overprocessed.
