I mean sure, a real professionals won't use a phone to shoot a video but think of it like RAW. You have to have a bit of knowledge on how to handle HLG so that your video won't turn into yellowish mush like so many reviewers have done.
There's where Video Pro comes in, it shoots in 16:9 and you have manual controls, and you can turn off HLG. It was meant for the Xperia Pro-I but it works on the Xperia 1 III as well, allowing full 16:9 4K 120 fps.

Sony makes exceptional phones. The mark 3 is one of the best. It's expensive yes, and one or two other quirks yes, but still one of the absolute best phones ever made. If some sites continue to bash Sony as a tradition, this could work but only for a while before it just won't work anymore. I cannot believe I'm saying this of GSMA. This has always been my go to site for phone reviews. My loyalty to it spanning almost 2 decades exceeded loyalty to any brand. But even I have had to admit that there is bias against Sony. The subconscious effect of this bias is that I have began to second-guess every other review. And whereas I used to visit the site twice a day or more, I visit a bit less. Yes I still visit. wanted to comment when this review came out. Then I thought what would be the point. Yesterday I commented but it didn't make it past admin. Here I am commenting again. It is unfair to those who look to buy phones. But what does the opinion of one person matter? #Hummimgbird.

I was ready to purchase this phone, but when I tried out a display unit at a Sony Store... I didn't like the narrow screen. Reading forums and comments on youtube was too cramp on this narrow aspect ratio. The 20:9 phones were pushing it, but Sony's 21:9 is way too narrow for comfortable content consumption. Even videos on youtube fills up less of the 6.5" screen.
Also the cameras are limited to 20:9 aspect ratio recording as well. In 4K there is no option to change aspect ratio to 16:9 which means I will have to crop the damn video further to get 16:9. What a ridiculous restriction sony.. come on give us full control of the aspect ratio!!
If sony releases a less wide aspect ratio phone, 19:9 or 20:9 and fixes the recording aspect ratio issue I'll buy in a heartbeat.

Cons; Bad battery life, drop 2% battery life on standby, 4 1/2 hr screen on time, quick temperature rise while gaming (thanks to snapdragon 888)
Pros; Nice as a music player via 3.5mm audio jack, dolby atmos, 360 spatial sound, DSEE Ultimate, photo pro & cinema pro apps

DMX, 08 Mar 2022Tell me about support? do you receive the monthly patches o... moreUpdates have been coming in at very acceptable time frames, including Android 12 which works great on this phone. Decent battery life got even better. I have the phone stop charging when it reaches 80% to extend the long term quality of the battery and I always get thru the day with only charging to 80%. Only time I come close to running out of battery is when I take numerous (100+ photos) during the day, or a very long video.
Have never had any heating issues with this phone. Extremely happy with this product. Has been rock solid stable and excellent. Really hope it stays that way because Samsung & Google both ticked me off on my previous phones. My son discovered this for me knowing what I was looking for and he nailed it.

This phone has provided excellent reception, coverage, etc. No dropped calls, excellent clarity. Far superior to my former Samsung (albeit that phone was old), or my previous Pixel 3.
This has been my best Android experience to date, bar none. Clean, crisp, fast Android, no bloatware, still has Google call screening, Sony cameras take breathtaking photos. With the inclusion of the 3.5mm headphone jack and continued support of SD memory expansion I will not even consider another phone. All other vendors keep taking things away and charging more. Sony keeps stuff there, although the price is well, uh, stiff, but ultimately worth it compared to other experiences.

I had 2 Sony 1 ii and both were weak for reception. It's Definitely wide spread issue, I had this confirmed by my network provider who actually let me out my contract 1 year before it ended and I kept the useless phone.
