Pros & Cons

Pros

This phone has the same msrp as the galaxy s21 ultra and the iphone 12 pro max. This phone is the most underrated and impressive on the market. It's a true flagship phone for people that appreciate good design.

Sony xperia 1 iii is a flagship phone for advanced users. Android is near stock, but a raft of sony improvements are available. Dual sim and microsd card all in one setup. Sony is currently the underdog in the android mobile market.

The shape of the xperia phone is way better on my hand as compared to samsung which is fat and stubby. It is highly customizable and i have never seen anything like this in any phone. I also own a tesla model 3 with a taptes gen 3 wireless charging pa...  Read More

The screen exceeds my expectations. Camera is great quality too. I feel like it's sturdy enough to be fine.

Screen brightness is also adequate when outside despite what some people claim. Large lens and larger sensor receive more light. Just stunningos runs better for me than my previous pixel 3xl. Screen color accuracy is great - far and above other androi...  Read More

It is impressive both in terms of the quality of the picture and the video.


Since they were pretty awful quality and have watched them evolve.


Another issue with the tall/narrow profile is the keyboard is narrower.

Shipping


Also noted the peel-n-stick screen protector for shipping was aligned crooked, which i think further implies i was sent an open-box item.


Maybe i'm wrong and this is just how sony is sending out their phones now days, but i highly doubt $1k + phones are being sent ...  Read More


I tested t-mobile and verizon and the phone shows 5g on both, although t-mobile has fast data speeds in my area.

Competitiveness


Coming from a oneplus (slow updates that don't work) this has been such a delightful contrast.


But, as my prior was the 1st 1tb phone from samsung that was bought w/o a plan, it made it $300 cheaper than than my prior unit...  Read More


- no hole punch for selfie camera.


Cons:- curved edges on display, not as enjoyable for movies- bottom-firing speaker not quite in balance with front-facing top s...  Read More

    It is mind boggling that sony cant even do this this phone pretty much cant do 5g on att and its missing band 25 on tmobile and when compared to samsung apple or even google phones its simply lagg behind in internet data speed by a large margin


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Yes the camera is impressive but the computational photography on the pixel samsung and apple simply kills the sony


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Sony its about a complete package


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I know social media craze has pushed every manufacturer to over focus on camera every phone review on youtube so called influencers have become about the camera to the point i dont know if im buying a phone or camera


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    What a messed up market and consumers really have to know their tech in order not to get caught up in the gouging and manipulation by phone makers


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Yes apple doesnt have a hardware issue with processor and is at least 2 generation ahead although by the time of this writing qualcomm has caught up with its snapdragon 8 gen 2 made by tsmc thank god


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Try avoiding any snapdragon 888 or snapdragon 8 gen 1 chip made by samsung foundry it is garbage
