Besides, Sony has two of their biggest moneymaker divisions, the biggest being their Financial Group Division (Bank, Insurance, etc.) that generates almost 50% of their profit*, and the second is gaming (PlayStation and Services). Three, if you include their Sony Music division, which generates decent profits. Plus, Sony is probably increasing its operation on B2B, which has some advantages over B2C (proof are Apple Vision Pro's tech and Exmor T expanding outside Xperia inside Find N3 and OP Open).

                                Weekly reminder for not blind people, not arrogant sony praising for anything people(same as apple).

                                This phone is soooo overpriced. Even SD card speeds are absurd. Check XDA thread called "Internal file speed Vs SD card". Everything is worse on this phone compared to competitors for the same price. Even AlMiGhTy Sd CaRd speeds are super bad. Waste of money.
                                It overheats more than any other snapdragon gen 2 CPU. Check XDA forum, especially thread "Does mk5 overheat to an any extent?". This phone is joke for it's price. DON'T SUPPORT OVERPRICED TECH

                                Sony fan boys even more desperate than apple ones. They are living in forum and trying to convince everyone hOw GoOd tHiS OvErPrIcEd PhOnE Is. Worst OS support of all androids. Even xiaomi promised 4OS updates, 5 years security. And this overpriced tech "The majority of Sony phones come with two upgrades and two years of patches".

One of them is using Xperia 1 III in Kölner Dom to take pictures and videos (Cologne Cathedral) in the city of Köln, North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), Germany, in July 2022. Sure, a few are still low, but there's eyewitness proof from myself.

At now flagships are design like ultra combo for everything but video recording features (for tik tok, YT) are very expanded. 'Under the sun' was fully recorded from hand by amateur without editing/coloring. 100% reviews dont even test HLG mode on Xperia and there are two options.
                                      1.They dont know nothing about this feature or..
                                      2.They know that this mode is beyond the market level and they dont want piss of sponsors.
                                      Most channels testing phones today are actually advertising agencies of specific manufacturers.
