[@farishanafiah8461]

But you can downgrade the screen resolution, right?

[@troy5568]

@@farishanafiah8461 It's not really effective at all. Lower resolution only means the SoC is rendering the contents in a specified resolution, but the screen still has to push those 3840x1644 pixels since the panel is not really turning off any pixel to achieve the lower resolution. In this case, Sony already automatically renders contents in 1080p only, and then upscales them to near 4K using X-Reality Engine for mobile. The best way to achieve better battery life is to use lower brightness if possible, or you may just want to use the H.S. power control feature as much as you can so that you'll no longer have to worry about having a dead battery most of the time.

Xperia 1 iii is a great device. To put this into context I typically churn through smartphones once per twice a year. If you are interested in the iii, the were one or two little things that bothered me. - I didn't like the camera experience - the amp is a bit underpowered - I don't like the haptics. - the sim card tray thing is so annoying. The v60 has a better amp and can drive all my headphones. It also has amazing battery life but I have quite a few software bugs, glossy back is very annoying and I miss 120hz. I will never be happy...

@@ziich1 thanks for the input. Its worth considering asking someone who's had both the phones I currently have and am currently interested in. I love the black glossy design sony has on the 1 ii and was bummed when the LG got rid of it from the v60 after having it on the V50 and went for only blue and white. Anyway, since LG left the smartphone game for good, the lack of software updates and security patches are concerning for me which is why i was considering switching to the sony again since i've always been an Xperia fan myself and have had a couple of them before (and headphone port and expandable storage is a must for me) Also i can relate to that never being happy bit lol

Great video, subscribed on your last xperia video. I have Been following every video on the mark 3 since its debut, youve pretty much summeed it up, its a polished Xperia 1 ii. Having the 1 ii , you made my decision easier to wait for the xperia 1 mark 4 or wait on a deal on the mark 3

Don't forget about chip 888 overheating

[@akaraikiriakatsuki3157]

I only have the 5ii not the 1ii. But I don't quite see the need yet for 1ii owners. Unless they have the cash to burn yearly for marginal improvements, sure why not. Aside from the 888 quicks and possibility of durability concern with the movable periscope zoom camera there nothing to complain about on 1iii. And for about to buy, the 1ii is now a lot cheaper... Around 740usd..

Watching this from my Xperia 1 II

[@grandmasterj5]

To be honest, I was in a 2 year contract with my Xperia 1. Just got the Xperia 1 III and it's hardly a step up at all even from that. The zoom is clearer... Kind of.. but the overall quality of the picture actually seems lower when you examine further. Maybe this is a software thing though rather than hardware, and could be fixed in an update. Speakers are soooo much better than the Xperia 1 though 😄 Even with 120hz settings off, the battery life is much worse than the Xperia 1 though too. The screen on the Xperia 1 III is also slightly duller than the Xperia 1

Hi. I would like to ask if you had any overheating issue while using Sony Xperia 1 mark 3, especially during photography and video making? Thank you very much for you answer.

[@grandmasterj5]

@@MiroslavSu I haven't gone into any heavy/long usage of the camera yet. Only quality tests so far. I remember my Xperia 1 would do the same sometimes, but they fixed it with a software update so maybe they will for the Xperia 1 III too now that it's in public circulation

IMO they didn’t do enough for me to care. Great phone, but the image quality is still “meh” and they didn’t bother whatsoever to update the selfie camera which is a huge shame, and I personally think the Google assistant button is a con, not a pro. The biggest additions to me were the better network support+5G, and better battery life.

[@peterdurum434]

Photo image quality you mean? From what I've heard Google assistant button can be remapped.

1:04 - the only downside to enabling 120hz is that it literally eats the battery life, apparently taking a 30% hit...

[@chigginskeywest]

And it's just a gimmick. There's no noticable difference.

[@jordan95hd83]

@@chigginskeywest, how do you know?

[@chigginskeywest]

@@jordan95hd83 because I can't tell any difference. I always turn off animations in developer options anyways. Can you tell any difference at all? And yes it uses more battery.

[@chigginskeywest]

@@Dan-co4zl so you can honestly tell there's a difference between regular and switching to 120. Good for you. I cannot. And I don't play games so why would I notice any difference between 60 and 90 or 120hz.
