OnePlus user, 20 Nov 2021I get what your saying, but Sony Mobile screwed up again. T... moreThere's a few issues here:
"When will they ever learn to make life simple. From their naming Xperia Pro, 1 iii, Pro i."
The Xperia 1iii naming scheme is actually not difficult to understand, I don't get why people make a big deal out of this. The PRO is actually for professionals and PRO-I is also pretty self explanatory. Honestly taking 5 min to understand their naming scheme isn't hard.
"to it's a 1" sensor but not a 1" sensor."
It is a 1" sensor, that's not a lie. It might not use the full area, but you get to keep a lot of the advantages such as bigger pixels that normally require binning. Since you aren't using QB, you have a faster readout time with those bigger pixels and you have better colour accuracy as well. The processing on this phone is minimal because they give you the creative power to change the photo to how you want in post. That's their philosophy which many don't seem to understand.
"Since my Xperia Z3, I've been waiting on Sony to give me a solid reason to spend $1800US. "
You don't have to buy this phone specifically if you want, but you can ask the same question to other brands as well. Sony offers almost everything the other brands offer except an AI heavy camera. Specs are all the same for the most part and yet ppl don't bother asking why they should pay so much for it. At least I can get SD card expansion and a headphone jack with Sony.
The double standards on this website is one thing that's annoying, people don't understand how things work and then continue to make comments while others straight up lie about things that are not true.
The reason this phone doesn't use the full sensor is to make it slim, people don't realize how thin it is for a 1" sensor phone. If they decided to make it thick, do you really think that people wouldn't bash Sony for making it thick, the hypocrisy on this website is astounding ( not you specifically)? What is Sony supposed to do at this point lol, if they make it thick they get attacked, if they make it slim, they get attacked.

They always have the best intensions with disastrous consumer results. When will they ever learn to make life simple. From their naming Xperia Pro, 1 iii, Pro i. to it's a 1" sensor but not a 1" sensor. It's like they are here to confuse potential customers into them just sticking with the simpler clear cut phones. Year after year Sony comes out with 'a Sony first', impresses us but simultaneously leaves us wanting. It has gotten a point where we now look forward to Sony events for the phone that we will never buy. Since my Xperia Z3, I've been waiting on Sony to give me a solid reason to spend $1800US. I shouldn't have to doubt myself before spending that kind of money. Im sure Samsung/Apple loves to see Sony prices. I squarely believe if Sony partners with Google and shares their innovative hardware, Google will make the best Android ever.

THIS IS Sony. Not cheapo BiGgEr megapixels camera with too much beautify effect. Their 8 MP is enough to beat mainstream front camera. SMH.

8 MP front Camera with f2.0 ?? is this 2017 or 2021? Oh .. Come on SONY.
I would expect at least f/1.5 Aperture. best for low light selfie.

The 108MP cameras you see are binned to match the Xperia's 12MP. They try to emulate what the Xperia does, but they have to make sacrifices. The reduced colour accuracy and risk of crosstalk along with extra noise. The Xperia does the exact same thing, faster, and more accurately.
"And these other smartphone brands are hitting some crazy 108MP and slapping killer software on top of that, all at a way lesser price tag"
108MP means nothing, the reason they take decent photos is that they also use bigger sensors. You get the same size sensor with 12MP with regular Bayer and 108MP QB. Then you will notice the difference. The high MP count is a marketing tool that people fall for including many on this website.
"So does the Xperia's $1800 price tag really reflect what the human eyes sees or can't see when compared to the real fake pros?"
The Xperia also uses glass in its lens compared to the plastic that others use. It's got coating for the lens and is made from premium materials. It also has a bigger sensor technically as well, but obviously, it's not using all of it. At least from what people are saying about it. Sony also does little processing to keep it as natural as possible while others oversaturate such as Samsung.
If you want to edit it, then having minimal processing would be much more beneficial to you.

Regardless you still get the bigger unbinned pixels which are better. You also have to take into consideration that it's a phone with 2 other cameras and the bump is actually really small compared to others.
