Yet Sony has its own identity with their phones.

            This phone's battery is no joke, its not a perfect phone but damn ... battery life seems insane at least for my usage.

For video recording VideoPro app is really amazing app - u can check YT deeply for samples. HLG mode in both 1V and 5V can produce ultra amazing "picture" with video HDR brightness > beyond 2200nit.

                Bought the phone and used for couple days. One big issue bothering me is the 3.5mm jack that not powerful enough for larger driver headphones, I use Sennheiser overhead headphones and they are very low volume, other and older devices were much better, like ipad with dongle and even Samsung S10.

                  Can please somebody test this device main camera with Filmic Pro? What modes are available?

                      No, we are not talking about the same thing. It is noticeable even with the dark theme and very noticeable with black&white pictures, where some grays change colour at the slightest angle. Just to give you an idea, if I put an Xperia 10 II aside, whites and reading in general is miles better. Clearly, they (or they supplier - Samsung?) forgot about quality controls with this mk5. It's a shame for such pricey phone.

                            ..and one more thing. I use the dark theme wherever I can, so it's totally not a problem for me.

If you record it with a camera or camcorder, you will see the color banding, but in real life it is practically invisible at all. It's like recording clouding and blooming on TVs - the camera will always exaggerate this effect.

                                  I was using Samsung, Huawei, Xiaomi, Asus and Google Pixel.

                                  I did use Pixel because of GrapheneOS (available only on this garbage). GrapheneOS is a GREAT operation system, but the device experience is killing me. I can't! Anymore. I did hope Pixel8 will be nice, I did try ad shop. A bit better then 7 but...

                                  I found Sony Xperia 5 V
                                  Beautiful device, nice quality
                                  I did compare it with Xperia 1 V and for me that one is to big.

                                  Screan in 5V looks nice, I did compare side by side with 1 V
                                  I think they use glass not plastic on the screen, but glass. For sure better for eyes and better in touch.

                                  Clean softwer unfortunately Facebook is already installed! And can't uninstall it ! The app can be only stopped. So to have control app like RethinkDNS is needed or InviziblePro, other then that all nice.

                                  Remember! Camera works without IA - so the picture are reall and you should now how to use the app, some base knowledge about photography can bring you amazing result.

                                  Fingerprints work's on the side into the bottom, this works better then shi* in the screen.

                                    Tested that phone for about week and display is fine without any artifacts and color shifts. One of the best HDR display, much better than XZ3 screen (for HDR content).

                                      Still side mounted finger print with OLED for the price $800 around in 2023? I'm Joking.....
