you have to suffer, 27 Aug 2022lets just bring back the 16:9 aspect ratio. 21:9 is unneccesary with watching videos.Unless if you watch videos alot on your phone, it ain’t that big a deal
f
they should add wireless charging.
21:9 is good for everything except video. keyboard takes less space, UI reveals more fields, holding is easier as the phone is narrow. same on ZFlip, works well.

I am very curious to see if Sony optimized their thermal management, which was a fundamental weakness of the Xperia 1 mark iv. Many users complained about massive overheating / throttling problems and found out that they could only use the camera for video recording if they turned off the gsm/3g/4g/5g modem (flight mode).
This strange behavior was attributed by many to insufficient thermal management, too small thermal compounds, and insufficient heat dissipation.
Now, if the Xperia 5 iv actually uses the new TSMC- based Snapdragon 8 + gen 1, which is arguably more efficient than its Samsung-made counterpart (8 gen 1), and if Sony optimzes the SoC for low energy consumption, then the 5 mark iv would have a good chance to become a winner.
I am very curious to see independent reviews and will wait a few months to see plenty of user experiences.
That being said: most reviews didn’t mention thermal problems at all, while reddit and youtube are full of complaints about overheating.

My first 1 III arrived two da… moreAnd thankfully the Pro-I is for a very specific customer base. I agree the timing was…odd…but it wasn’t like the Mark iii was obsolete at that point (heck, the Pro-I had to be given a worse telephoto and sacrificed wireless charging).
I’m sorry you had those issues (thankfully, mine has been naturally flawless since day 1). Hopefully these things were alleviated with the Mark IV.

My first 1 III arrived two days after it started shipping but it bootlooped while charging if I had a fingerprint registered. Sony had it returned by FedEx Ground and it was lost for a month. Then Sony’s repair center terminated my warranty because they said I tampered with the firmware. The phone simultaneously said the firmware was authentic and altered at the same time. I contacted Sony support twice a day until I found somebody to give me a refund, then ordered a new one. The new phone finally arrives and it tells me to pre-order a newer phone with a pop-up ad.

you have to suffer, 26 Aug 2022it would priced more than a conventional dslr with full sets of lens😵😵😵Honestly, I wouldn’t mind paying a bit more on my future phone if this would be coming true.
Getting myself a mirrorless several months ago made me appreciate phone cameras even more – a dedicated camera can deliver great image quality even when capturing fast-moving objects and editing RAWs on a desktop at home is a joy, but I found many a lot of instances where I just felt too awkward to use it, or taking it out of my bag causes me to miss the exact moments I want to capture.
A smartphone is very stealthy in comparison and something that I consistently hold in my hand wherever I go, whenever it is, and I can shoot photos with them within two seconds. I can edit photos on the go if I really need to. A large sensor for the main camera is what I definitely want on my next phone, but a meaningfully long-range optical zoom would be also a nice addition.

Is it going to have more then two years of security updates? If not, people should pass on this phone. Without four or five years of updates, these days, a phone is just a rip off.

Asphalt-nation, 26 Aug 2022Well, Sony mobile IS a small branch. Sony, the company as a whole, doesn’t need its mobil… moremy xiaomi A1 will be 5 years next month,
but i already started scouting for new phone to replace.
https://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_1-reviews-9543.php#6568501
i was specifically looking for,
1. non china brand,
2. long term software support (security, not upgrade).
i just closed down on Samsung Galaxy A53 within the following week.
both Asus(Taiwan) & Sony(Japan) has very good hardware but rubbish support.
While my Mi A1 is still working fine, it has stopped receiving security patch since Aug 2020.
I’m keeping close tab on monthly android security patch bulletin and the level of vulnerability and risk is at severely unacceptable level.
Android has increased their security with accessibility limitation which is not enforced on older phones.
Most of the report banking scam/ fraud/ hack in Malaysia(reports im monitoring) has to do with old android with rogue apps(not sideloaded, but available in google play store) that are detected too late and removed. they easily hijack your SMS service, OTP code, communication for banking purpose and QR scanning for payments.
A secured android build (security patch) with e-hygiene can withstand attacks from compromised apps, service providers and data leaks. I’m not going to regret my Galaxy A53 as my moderate use and reliance of ewallet/ mobile banking can last my phone 4years+ and i hope Samsung keeps their promise of 5 years of security update.
“You can still daily drive a MK I Xperia 1 till prolly 2025 without any issue.”
– good luck with your driving.

Anonymous, 26 Aug 2022It is not gonna be ever used. Not even prime lens periscope is used anymore.
LOL 🤣😂We’ve seen 2 of 4 technologies Oppo showcased a year ago (IBIS + OIS dual IS and the RGBW CFA) having already been used on Find X5 Pro. I don’t know why this is funny to you, but it’s perfectly reasonable to presume that the optical zoom module will come to their phones next year especially when Sony managed to implement a similar solution.
