Sony fan for life!!!!😎😎😎😎😎😎
Sony based
7:43 Never in my life have I seen a photo or video of anyone using a Sony phone that takes pictures as badly as it is now. Even old phones don't take this bad video.. Stop marketing to Google in this funny way. Be a little fair
What is the model of the shooting grip please?
How about overheating when some1 wants to put this phone on gimbal and record 4k60 with hdr?
It's a real shame, had to send mine back the overheating was unreal. (That's in Wales, not exactly hottest country lol)
Awesome review
will it work for US Cellular????
"Has"…. senior editor? Wow.
What about the zoom on the old Huawei P30 Pro?
Why on earth did you not provide the size of the screen? A whole review without that vital info. Unbelievable.
Just got mine and the optical lenses quality is terrible the image is so soft and looks blurry when I’m in manual mode, and shooting raw. Shutter speed is correct for the focal length. Even at ISO 160 the raw images are a noisy and look out of focus.
On Reddit people are discussing this issue I’ve seen digital zoom better quality.
I am a Sony alpha shooter and love Sony but got to say I am so disappointed.
Apparently there’s a update rolling out to improve the sharpness. I have the UK model so not sure if it’s out here as I did have to update the phone when I switched it on.
But right now the image is very soft and blurry so I have setup a return with Sony as I paid £1299 and didn’t expect the images to be that soft.
I didn’t get any overheating on my model just the issue with those optical zoom lenses looking soft and out of focus.
1600, this phone is DOA
How tf am i to see anything if avery shot/video last 1-2sec at most? Lmao Dude its youtube, no one is watching 4k @ 120hz lmao
Just provide Software updates for 5 years and Sony you are a Winner..
In love with My Xperia 5 lll
Samsung K zoom?
Not true, though. The Galaxy S4 Zoom and K Zoom had actual zoom lenses way before.
Phone without night mode in 2022,? ?
Anyone ever tell you you look like Ron Jeremy?

Hey! What about listen to music? Is the sound tasty… Greetings.

This proves how Apple fools users with pro, max and crap naming. The actual pro is here. Sony like no other.
