it made me choose 1ii over 5ii, well not really the main reason - bigger display with 4k reso is really my reason as it is supposed to replace my z5 premium...
i have a wireless powerbank which i can bring everywhere, one of my "hang out" place also have wireless charging embedded on their table...
but... but... i must admit that my 1ii gets warmer compared to wired charging, and my powerbank only outputs 10watts, so imagine, it is warmer yet slower than the charging brick it comes with (18watts)...
so i only used it on my 1ii when needed (outside, which is seldom as i am wfh)
though my other phone, v50s uses it more often since i am lazy to detach the second screen when the battery is low...
so you get pros and cons for every tech...
apparently, sony thinks you dont need wireless charging if you want a small phone "or" they prioritize better cooling and size over wireless charging (you cannot fit "all" on a "small" phone)

On the subject, I can only tell my experience: 360 audio on my 5II sounds uniquely exquisite in quality through headphones, as I've never experienced sound on that immersive level so far, dolby stereo from them balanced front facing speakers is most immersive sound experience I've personally ever heard from any phone so far, and judging accordingly the 1III's and 5III's 360 audio enhancement from front speakers themselves should also sound uniqely immersive also.
With those Sony audio processing enhancements, it really is a great mobile sound system altogether, be it mark II or mark III series.

Putting a phone onto some spot to a nonmobile wireless charger or putting a phone to charge via a usb cable, is all the same.
But wireless charger charging is a much, much slower option.
I see no other practical or more useful reason for wireless charging other than...
...well actually, when one thinks about it, there is no good reasoning behind it whatsoever.

Would you want plastic case.
Wireless charging is overrated. (You lose need for cables. But devices overheat, can't be used during summer...) ( SONYS batteries are best on market. Long duration. LONG LIFESPAN. STILL COMES WITH CHARGER PLUGS. No need to spend another $50)
Sony sets new standards. Stands strong behind their products and designs. Everybody else is playing catch-up. (Apple did same thing. But instead of using catering to people's needs they = created their own system, TOLD people what they want, unwilling to listen. = I HATE APPLE but would you say the SAME THING FOR APPLE. most wouldn't)
1) best audio. software. Best/loudest/clearest speakers
2) best camera and sensors
3) great screens depending on users. CLEAN without notches. Sensitivity is TOO MUCH for non-gamers. great,clear pictures. Software behind it makes it better

AnonD-966113, 15 Apr 2021Wish it was a bit wider instead of taller. It's the xperia 1 iii. slightly larger but normal width. (5 = non-COMPACT, narrow LIKE compacts BUT long like regular full size. ALOT easier to use and place in pockets. HATE PHABLETS)
21:9 screen provides
1) easier multitasking, split screens
2) easier to manage professional controls for camera/video
3) centered 16:9 when watching videos. Hidden icons, triangle/circle/square, don't interfere with picture. No fingerprints...
4) space for more APPS per page. I Like 4x7, with 5 on home.
slightly odd-looking at first but VERY USEFUL. Easy to adjust to.

sony tried the notch once and it was the L4. still no L5! if they were to add a notch to the 1/5/10 line, chances are there would still be a chin. otherwise they can go the route of the original 10 and have a forehead. not symmetrical either way.

Whatever happens with this phone, I only have 3 wishes over the 5 ii:
1) keep the headphone jack. Please Sony.
2) Please, no notch or cutout!
3) add wireless charging! It's the only thing that misses the mark with the 5 ii.
