Alpha cameras need minimum V90 for 4K120fps rec (h264; but for hevc[h265] v60 card with low bitrate about ~100mbit/s can handle 4K120fps). I never saw microSD with v90.

PabloDog, 30 Nov 2024Only internal. SD is too slow, maybe V60.Do you have or anyone have this phone tested what max speed is Xperia's SD Card Controller if it does support V60-V90 which are sd card standards that supports 8k recording? Their Pro Models probably are the faster once.

Two more things
I shot on saving on internal memory.

Thank you very much for your time and effort and sharing these comprehensive test results . This is a great news for me, as my last concern with Mark VI is no more valid. Time to get myself a nice Xmas present I guess :)

On the other side, no Sony phone I have ever used has ever broken during the 4-5 years of use. I've always upgraded because I wanted something new. My old Xperia 5 compact (2015) is still perfectly functional. My father in law says he wants nothing else.

Here are the conditions I set: 4K, 120 fps, S-Cinetone on, 24 mm, H265 compression, MPEG4 format, image stabilization on, 80% display brightness, temperature in the room 22 degrees Celsius.
The results are:
1. Temperature (Celsius) (NFC logo area):
a. Initial: 32.2
b. After 15 minutes: 34.2
c. After 30 minutes: 35.7
2. Temperature (Celsius) (SONY logo area):
a. Initial: 31
b. After 15 minutes: 32.4
c. After 30 minutes: 34.2
3. Perceived temperature:
a. The phone did get a little bit warm, but nothing that would make me take a second look at the device
b. The area surrounding the lenses seemed the warmest, but again, nothing bothering or worrying
4. Temperature 5 minutes after stopping the recording (Celsius) (NFC logo area):
a. It went down to 30.1, which is interesting. It proves the device is actively dealing with any warming and is effectively cooling down.
5. Battery drain:
a. I started with 79% and ended up with 68%. Knowing that I can easily watch a 50-minute episode draining 3-4%, this seemed a lot. On the other hand, knowing I’ve just shot a continuous 4K 120fps movie for half an hour, this seemed reasonable.
6. Size of the video:
a. 31.57 GB.
I won’t repeat the test for 60 fps. It would be useless. The phone manages 4K without any issues.

I'll try this later today and let you know. Do keep in mind the following:
1. Xperia 1 VI uses the H265 standard for encoding 4K 120 fps videos. This means that the amount of information stored for a quality similar to the H264 standard is reduced to about 60-70%. In practical terms, this means the phone shouldn't overheat as fast as the old ones. I don't know the standard the 5 III uses in this scenario.
2. Recording on an SD card requires more processing power and, thus, more dissipated heat.
3. It should implicitly reduce heat given the processor's speed and the fast UFS 4.0 the phone uses.
4. I do have a feeling that playing with the Video Pro (available with Android 15, I've only got that a couple of days ago) settings (such as applying S-Cinetone, changing aperture, color space etc) could make the phone overheat faster, but this has to be checked too.
BTW, it's a very very big change having one single integrated camera app, which runs from fast Auto, to Camera Pro, Video Pro, Slow Mo, Telephoto Macro, Full-size RAW etc.

Thank you so much for sharing back and taking the time to provide a detailed reply.
The only specific question I have is about camera overheating when recording 4K60/120 videos.
Is this true that Sony have finally managed to fix this issue and one can shoot 4K60 videos for at least half an hour without overheating?
(I have a fast 1 TB MicroSD card to store the recordings so the storage space is not a factor but 5 III shows the overheating warning after about 15 minutes of recording, give or take.)
PS you are right about the processor speed—I am not playing mobile games or drooling over benchmark scores. For me, a smartphone is just another tool that helps me make money, and I want it to be as comfortable and reliable as the rest of the tools I use every day.
