Kaloyan, 04 Sep 2023I can confirm it is not UFS 4.That just made this phone another 100 times worse. Sad.

What did Sony think, when they decided to drop the telephoto camera from the Xperia 5 IV?
That's the very thing that made this phone a bad buy, just get last years model for less..

Anonymous, 02 Sep 2023Nope. not for me. Sony Xperia III is enough for me still fo... moreSome additions to this comment.
Only good upgrade from 5 III is GPS (L1+L5) if it's really there.
My 5 III get very hot when playing a game and sometimes even when taking photos or doing something that really should not make it hot.
My previous phone (Xperia XZ1 Compact) was perfect sizewise but I guess we will never get as small phone with good specifications anymore.
Also they broke the fingerprint reader logic in 5 III, it really should only read the finger when the display is one. Now the accidental touches (for example when putting the phone in pocket) will unlock the display. And the one hand mode was broken in Android update, earlier the screen was scaled down and it was usable, now they just hide part of the screen and it just doesn't work in usability wise.

5V is just another enthusiast compact walkman. 1T microSD card should hold a lot of Hires music files.
For this price point, I would say Sony is doing a great job of bundling their DSLR if the end users want to step forward to the photography area.

So I'm going to say I'm truthfully curious. What bloat apps does the 5 IV have? I wouldn't consider photo pro, video pro, or cinema pro to be bloat apps, or the external monitor app. I don't know of any other third party apps on the phone, and the apps from Sony are very well suited to who Sony phones are targeted towards. Also, I like that cinema pro and videography pro are separate. It seems simple enough, but having a definitive seperation between 21*9 content and 16*9 content can be and likely is highly appreciated by cinematographers and videographers alike. No more fiddling with aspect ratio settings, even though you shoot in the same aspect ratio all the time. Granted they could just have defaults, but I kinda like this solution better. Anyways I'm curious to know which bloat apps there are.

Why is there no refresh rate management? Even the Motorola G100 which has no LTPO, still has an "auto" refresh rate mode which drops it to 60hz when no touch is detected for a second, and shoots upto 90hz when touched. How could Sony phones cost this much and not do this at least? Same goes for Zenfones, really expensive but effectively no refresh rate management. Better buy Poco F5. Yes, it's a pain that no microSD card like Sony but at least it's always 256gb and headphone jack is present.
