Is this phone worth buying at 300$ (used but in Mint condition)? I really love sony phones, but the Mark IV is priced illogically high in my country (BD). Are there any Major differences except the SoC between III and IV to spend almost 650$ more for the IV? Please let me know if any major bugs or drawbacks of Xperia 1 III, to use in 2023.

Also it isnt really a hassle compared to other phones out there that don't have sdcard slot where you can store majority of your important files like photos, docs, etc. for instant access since cloud could cost you data or takes a while to upload then download them.

I truly appreciate your help, but the reset is truly a hassle, and I won't do it unless it's absolutely the only thing left. I'm just sick of Sony's weird bugs. We take the risk and buy their unsupported and near impossible to find products and all we get is underwhelming performance and bugs.

Ofcourse backup your files to sdcard & remove locks & logout all accounts.

Can someone provide feedback on their experience with Android 13 on their 1 III? The GSMA news page today regarding the update is full of brand-loyalty-wannabes. I just want to know how the update fares on this phone performance / usability-wise...!

Suddenly a couple of days ago, the fingerprint sensor stopped working. When I restart, it works just fine for like two hours then it stops working again. I don't know if it's related to the last update or not. I'm just sick of Sony's weird bugs. Does anyone else have this?

But the worry is with games if Res settings can be set too either 4k or 1080p for games

1080p panel does make a lot more sense on a smartphone
I was wondering if it is possible too set the screen too

Too choose between screen quality and battery life when needed?

I bought the Sony Xperia 1 III a year ago and recently found that the quality for photo images taken for LED monitors are not as good as other peer mobile phones. The rainbow image of Moire effect is very signifiant and there is no anti-aliasing capability at all.
