      The only thing you can find there in opinion section that camera has manual mode and that's it. Seems like this phone doesn't have other features like delete screenshots after sharing them and similar good things from other phones.

          Going through the comments, trying to find any real life review of the phone, and all I see is people arguing about nonsense. Gotta love the internet.

                It's not a perfect phone and it's not for everyone. I has its pretty surprising shortcomings. But I love it.

                I charge it every day, but I only use 20-75% of battery range. It stands out in its look and feel as it always was. It's huge, I can't safely hold it with my ring and little finger as I used to with iphone mini. It gets warm sometimes, but they definitely solved the overheating problem.

                Now the main part, the camera.

                It struggles in the dark, especially on 48 and 85+ mm lenses. Tele lens is shaky. Noises are here as always. Computational photo is not its strongest side.

                But the first two street photos are taken in the night on 85 lens. The moon is taken on 170 + max digital zoom to 510 mm equivalent. Tram is 48 mm and it's intentionally long exposed. The last macro is taken in the evening. All are handheld. First two street in auto mode.

                What I like the most is how it makes photo natural while somehow making it a bit more memorable. It doesn't oversharp, overcontrast, overcolor photos, but in the same time I can't get enough excited of a basic everyday things: a street, a lamp, a tree, a building. All the usual became beautiful.

                Now about camera features no one of so called "tech blogger" told.

                Tracking eye autofocus is a beast. It's fast and accurate. Object tracking sometimes even recaptures the object when I put down the phone, reposition myself, and then raise it back a few seconds later.

                It takes up to 30 full photos per second (up to 20 with hdr) while tracking the object and maintaining the focus, switching from eye to body autofocus and back while the model turns and walks. iPhone 15 pro, for comparison, takes 10 with a fixed focus and the first photo is delayed by 0.5-1 seconds.

                It has manual focus (iphone doesn't, what a "pro"), computational photo and hdr can be disabled, so it doesn't "fix" you photo of a foggy night into a clear day looking photo. Face/eye recognition can be disabled, so you can focus on something else while the face is in frame.

                White balance is usually good in auto mode, but it can be configured up to the things I haven't even heard of.

                And of course there is a full manual mode, where you control iso and shutter speed as you want. There are also exposure metering, focus area, and other settings.

                Camera – with its object detection, tracking, and stuff – is the most battery spending app, according to accubattery it spends 14% per hour. It's about a 6+ hours of camera usage in a row on a single charge. How is that? (I don't play games though)

                    CamoGeko-XDA, 08 Jul 2024Overpriced phone, and very slow charging.Honestly, I rather purchase a Xperia 1/Pro series, Pixel Pro series (both aren't officially sold at my home country) or an iPhone Pro series, all from one extreme to another, even if it's a used or secondary one. The other Android brands doesn't satisfy my phone needs at all, especially Pixel still has some Sony-based at least natural touch image processing, and iPhone still has that Sony-based design and philosophy due to Jobs' legacy of immense love for Sony that current Apple CEO still do it. Especially when I now both own Xperia 1 II and iPhone 13 Pro Max simultaneously. The other are just not it.

                      Let me rephrase it "Some dumb people?".

                      Eco trends has nothing to do with charging speed. Eco trend you are talking about is about charger being bought separately and the problem is sony has slow charging compared to competition.
                      Dude read some books or something. Attacking people and calling people d*mb if they are not upgrading every single year says a lot about you. I think when you will grow up (hope soo) you will realize that is not worth upgrading every single year :)

Other than being slightly too large to walk around with comfort, it's a far better phone than most of what's being released these days.

Sometimes all it takes is flipping the charging cable the other way around. The V60's charging port is kinda janky as they added some flex to it for the second screen.

It still works fine, although T Mobile blocked it, but since the last android update, I think 13, it charges slower than any phone I have ever had. It takes hours. It used to charge quickly. I tried different cables and chargers. No change.

I do indeed spend money on other stuff as you say. Food, rent, clothes, doctors (I'm in the U.S.) , shoes (which last longer than these phones) glasses and, I really am ashamed to say this, I go out with friends to coffee shops and restaurants every now and then and yes, I do buy wine.

                                    I may have missed it as I didn't read all of the comments. Has anyone tried using this in the U.S? How is the sound though the headphone jack? Significantly improved form a 5iv or 5iii? Has anyone compared it to an LG? I have a 5iii and will occasionally carry my LG G8 just to listen to music and conserve the battery on the 5iii. The sound on the 5iii isn't really that bad but the LG definitely sounds better.

                                      CamoGeko-XDA, 08 Jul 2024Tbh if you manage your money well you can afford a yearly u... moreBuying a new phone yearly when you don't need one isn't managing your money well, even if you could afford it which most of us can not. In addition to that, it contributes to environmental destruction. Not everyone who doesn't buy thousand dollar phones every year is a drunk who parties all the time. One can make the argument that getting drunk is psychologically healthier than buying phones anyway.
