@mido hey where to download these anime wallpapers

As such, the images are fine enough, they are sharp, etc. but they lack contrast - color and then they are often overexposed or underexposed, that is the fault of ALL Sony's mobiles. You can easily get good pictures out of it if you want to spend 5-15 min on each picture in Adobe photoshop, have had 3 Xperia now but do not buy more also due to service and support, Sony mobiles have a maximum of 1 year with android update and 2 years of security update if one is lucky, Samsung and Google have 5 years now.

The pro mode on video sucks

You definitely get more attractive results just by pointing and shooting with the iPhone etc, but the Xperia delivers photos that are closer to what you see with the naked eye. It definitely does struggle at times in stronger light unfortunately, so it's best suited to users who are happy to tweak the settings manually with testing conditions. I found the pics I got were great on the whole though and the Xperia is unbeatable for shots of kids, pets etc - which most KZfaqrs don't seem to bother testing. As usual, these images are all untouched - no post-edit shenanigans.

Because it's part of the narrative they push. You will notice that it's always the same tired old talking points they harp on about. 1) is the price..... despite it costing about the same as the iphone 12 max pro and Galaxy S21 Ultra. Yes it's expensive. But then flagships are expensive. It's a bit like complaining that a Mercedes or Lexus is expensive. 2) the camera. Despite plenty of KZfaqrs (usually ones that understand how cameras actually work) getting fantastic results. The KZfaqrs who claim the cameras aren't good tend to not understand how anything except an iphone works. So when they say the cameras are bad. That means different and not like an iphone. I have had the Xperia 1 mark ii for one year now and the camera system is as good as any. It's just different. More natural colours and manual focused.....like an actual camera. Not better or worse than an iphone or Galaxy. Simply different. I have frequently gotten good results with it, and occasionally astonishing results with it. What many of these KZfaqrs do .....aside from being deliberately disingenuous imho because they get benefits from other brands......is that they are doing the equivalent of a car reviewer complaining that a manual sports car doesn't drive or work like an automatic sedan (except no car reviewer would do this). No shit......they are two entirely different things, made for two different purposes, with two different approaches to the engineering. Exactly how the Xperia camera system is made from a different approach to an iphone. It's only a question of if it's to your taste and suits/fits your needs.

Just APK the Google camera app and ur sorted, all modern phones have the hardware, they just lack the camera software. 😏

In my experience, I phones are totally unable to photograph what we actually see; their photos are over processed, over corrected, over colour saturated, overly use of high dynamic range (HDR) - with a luminance far beyond that experienced through the human eye and visual system, to create a photo that bring forward what the human eye naturally dismisses. A photo so far from what we actually see that it is as if someone coloured the photo in adding detail (eg every leaf, stone, spot etc) like an artist does to early B/W photos. Detailing every edge adding a sharpness, depth and contrast we, as human beings, automatically process as 'scene' as we focus on our subject of vision, the iphone automatically processes all as subject of vision emphasizing everything. Even if we use bokeh (Japanese word for blur) the iPhone creates a fantasy image of, for example, a bird on a branch floating in a green cloud of dark lines - like one took an image and placed it in a different background using photoshop. Americas favourite phone is creating memories through photos that have no reality to the moment. I suspect as engineering photos they are useful - but then not quite up to the ability needed. Having said this I think if they created a microscope camera phone for iPhone the image of a fleas testicle - or whatever - would prove that iPhone cameras can take photos real photos. Video is a totally different subject where iphones are up with the very best, if not the best.

@@terrytartu I don't think there's anything necessarily wrong with the cameras in other phones regarding the processing, I just think of the photo/video ability of the Xperia cameras are essentially the visual equivalent of flat response studio headphones.

Nothing wrong with being informed on the latest in tech

im a salesman, this is how i get my information about the devices i sell :)

@@zefnreaj3548 that's awesome. I'm not a salesman but I have a severe addiction to phones. I buy all flagships released every year. I can't wait to get the III. I hope it's like the II but with better connectivity and hopefully wifi calling on TMobile, lol.

I mean you might be should can afford this when phone at 2-3 year because it's get more and more cheaper

@@zefnreaj3548 need more salesmen like you!

do not but this phone.. after few updates even fingerprint disappeared& they cannot help

Yup

Yes it is nice but it needs more than a good look

pawaa is also beautiful

It's been a common complaint for the SD 888, not just with the Sony Xperia series.

Got mine in purple, this holds up without cover and screen protector, got Imak and Copter, but it's sexy as hell naked.

How is it all these months later?

Gotta get that glass to protect that glass to protect that glass lol

I can't remember the star trek film, but i think were a little way of from having transparent aluminium.

So you want screens to just be made of gorilla? 🙃

I'll use the case, but a screen protector is pointless

They're so strong now, there's no point using a screen protector. Even the old gorilla glass 5 on my XZ Premium only has very minor scratches after 4 years of use without a screen protector. No one believes me when I show them my phone, they're all like "there's no way you never used a screen protector"

merita banii?

aye aye, I'm sick of hearing this from all reviewers. Why is it "niche"?

My guess is because not many people will buy it. It really only appeals to a certain crowd hence why they call it niche. Your average joe doesn't care about headphone Jack's or expandable storage etc etc. They care about price and branding. The problem sony has with a majority of their products is that they never price them accordingly as well as advertise them well. When you have phones for cheaper that are doing similar things then you really have to sit there and ask yourself what's the point? Most people will just go for a Samsung or Apple product and others will stick to whatever is in their budget that's a recognizable brand. Yes Sony is recognizable but how many people have you honestly seen with a Sony phone? I literally have not. For 1200 beans, I think it can be considered niche for the audience willing to buy it.

Why do you care so much whether they call it 'niche'? People take offence at everything these days 🙄

Bagnell does have a slight agenda. He prefers phones that have a shitload of capability. He loved those LG phones of a time gone by.

Juan Bagnell definitely has an agenda. He tried to partly blame Tech KZfaqrs for the death of LG's phone division

Cheers for watching Jeremy!

better than in 1 ii? camera:)

how’s performance nowadays? should buy it for $202?

I hate LG UI that's the reason they're falling down

I'm sold my oneplus 9 pro and bought Sony 1iii!

I bought one last year, it's still a fantastic phone and really not much of a downgrade. Be warned though after a week with 120Hz it's difficult to go back to 60, it does my eye's in now 😬

I got it a couple months ago. No issues. Definitely not a bad phone to buy right now. The phone will be good for much longer than it's supported.

This device still is behind the competition as it's a niche device and yes it's overpriced.The battery preservation for a now is a gimmick as there's still no concrete proof of battery degrading with fast charging over long period of time. The screen on time of this device will reduce significantly as the screen is 4k 120hz and in future you will have to charge the phone multiple times. Yes headphone jack and memory expansion is welcome but going by today's standard they are added features now not necessity. And no promise on software updates is the deal breaker as when you spend that much amount it's a must.

@@nitinsoni9956 the fact that smartphones heat up considerably while fast charging speaks for itself, don't try to argue that li-ion battery's longevity won't be affected by temperature. Oppo also admitted fast charging degreases battery capacity at a concerning rate.

@@nitinsoni9956 you are describing Samsung phones lol, that's why people always changing them year after year...I had one before, cheap quality...only Sony phones last for years....it don't matter what new phone come out after Xperia 1iii, it will still have better display quality and will have everything they have...they can max the saturation and over process the filter cameras but it will never be better...I can bet Xperia 1iii will still out perform every android phone in speed and ram....old Xperia 1ii is faster than new phones lol... This phone is not for broke people, it's exclusive, not many are available price won't come down...yeah exclusive niche lol

@@The-Heart-Will-Testify Yes it will as exclusive as LG phones in the future.

@@nitinsoni9956 battery degradation is a thing and I've experienced it first hand on my Oneplus 3T. Yes, it charges extremely quick, but after 2 years it loses a lot of its initial capacity. My old Lenovo laptop (also using Li-Ion batteries) had this software that prevented it from charging above 50%. After 10 years of use, battery degradation is at 14 %, and it could have been even better if I didn't leave that option on and use the laptop off the charger more often. Having in mind we no longer can use the unlimited storage of Google Photos it becomes paramount to have cheap and accessible storage options, so I don't feel the expansion sd card as a gimmick. Every phone had this back in the day.

Something I'd love to know too.

Only samsung supplies LTPO display across the world for now. I believe Sony gets their supply from BOE so they have to wait couple years

GSMArena said in their review that Sony told them the resolution drops based on the app that's open, but they also lied about other stuff so it's not a credible source. There's a vague statement on the Sony product page (in the footnotes) stating that aspect ratio and refresh rate may vary by content and other factors, so it may by variable. I haven't been able to confirm this for sure and no reviewer talks about it.

You can set it to 60 Hz by the way.

Yeah I’m hoping the mark 4 irons out a lot of the shortcomings of the previous versions. Had high hopes for the 1iii, but it failed to meet my expectations.
