    it is a masterpeace like all phones before at this line. but it isn't advertised enough and isn't sold in most global markets...
    result: success of development team, fail of marketing. (SONY Mobile New Standards...)

But with 4K and 8K, I'm more referring to actual recording since I believe phones will eventually fully overtake the best from the professional market.

That said I would still rather use 4k on the telephoto lens than 8k zoomed in on the main camera. Can't argue with the future proofing though

          Anonymous, 15 Apr 2021105mm(telephoto)/24mm(main camera)=4.375/4.4x zoomI really hate it when company's do this. To be fare at least Sony compare the zoom to the 24mm and not the 16mm like other companys. But even so, the human eye sees roughly 50mm so 105mm is only really just over 2x zoom. I have always thought cameras just follow the same rules as binoculars for zoom marketing. Otherwise the number before the X is irrelevant

              ASL, 15 Apr 2021Tell me 1 reason to buy this over oppo find x3 pro. I know ... moreA good reason is that the s21 and most other top end smartphones can do the same as the oppo. The Xperia 1 iii will give you different options and tricks. It's up to you which better suits what you do with your phone

                once again sony smash ittt :D cool design and perfect spec

                  Nick P, 15 Apr 2021Anyone that owns a Sony premium phone. For How much time an... moreActually for a VERY long time. Xperia 1 (the fist one of the series) got upgraded all the way to Android 11 from 9-th one, you can confirm that by going to its GSMArena page. And the phone still recieves updates, that means you'll be getting all the newest security patches. Even more is that you'll be getting new Android versions really quick, only 1-2 months after Google's release. I'm also using a Samsung device and I can't say I'm happy with updates on that at all. I got Android 10 from Samsung only a YEAR after its release and no security patches inbetween.
                  The same story as Xperia 1 is about XZ premium, all the way from 7 to 9 (but sadly they stopped updating it after 3 years or so).
                  So you should expect updates to at least 2 major Android versions and quite a few security patches after.

                        Why can't they just offer a 8gb of ram, 128gb of Rom model for $950. Nobody will complain because 8gb is plenty fast, and 128 is more than most people use. Plus when you need more storage that's the whole point of having the expandable storage. If they did that , it would put it in the same price range as the OnePlus 9 pro, and people will notice the advantages it has over the 9 pro with the 4k 120hz, more consistent and versatile camera experience, better updates, better speakers and uninterrupted display. That way their sales would triple in a year I'm pretty sure.

                          I love Sony, but they seem to always hold back. It never peaks.
                          - World's first 4k@120Hz and yet it's not adaptable despite having its own processor.
                          - Known for masterclass photography and yet not using its latest hardware despite also having its own processor (and I know reusing the same hardware with peak software calibration is better than new hardware with beta software. But it's expected of the company to squeeze the best configuration and calibration on their hardware. Plus, it can be made better through updates).
                          - World's first variable telephoto tech since Lumix, but didn't incremented its zoom range and focal length by applying the variable lens to the main sensor e.i. 24mm-50mm main, 85mm-135mm telephoto.

                          What we've learned from consumers and manufacturers is that, size and mass is forgivable as long as the specs is justifiable. Sony could've given 1iii peak specs since it has the Xperia 5 line-up that's conservative on specs and compact. I mean, it already made a very thick phone in Xperia Pro.

                            Hands down the most complete phone on the market today from design to features. A 5k battery would make it perfect

                              Sadly peoples here are salty and doesnt even want to READ.
                              People above me still debating about fake 4k@120hz,, but dare to acknowledge the other

                              I mean Sony has explained and listed everything you want to KNOW if you really want to search across the internet
                              Despite all of the great features from Sony, people still has no interest, bashing and comparing it to other brands

                              Pretty sure Sony would quit in 2-3 years, they said they dont want to advertise, "only professionals" understand our product
                              Xperia 1 V is probably the last and im definitely gonna buy it. 4K@360Hz is my expectation that gonna happen for gaming
                              Considering how fast they increased motion blur from 30-120hz in 1 year and finally adapt BFI 60hz in just a year along with many new features and some world's first
                              Well i guess they spent big R&D and they gonna give up on smartphone division after mark V

                              Exciting moments ahead ~

                                      Already love it. Looks so good. Definitely going to buy it!

                                      Hopefully it will arrive before middle of July. I can not understand why Sony keep with this release schedule. Not many people buy a telephone mid-summer

                                        RGcloudS, 15 Apr 2021Sony has describe fully on their website And a bit more of... moreYou nailed it bro. In addition to that is the dynamic vibration. I have an XZ2 premium. They said it before that it's a gimmick. Man, I love this feature. It really gives extra emotion and feels when listening to music as it vibrates along with the bass especially when using a headphone. Sony really innovates. I might use another phone like an apple but I would never miss a Sony phone.
