Please indulge me. Prove that Xperia 1 III can deliver much better photos than Xperia 1 II with main wide camera sensor at least. Thanks!
Hm, no response. Suggest there is nothing to show off really or just a very few people have got the phone.

i think the latter. it’s not yet been released in the US. i think only in China.
I've read they've released an update already, so all those early photo reviews are "outdated".
Anyway, this is the most recent and "best" photos taken with it I could find...

Just got the phone yesterday here is one pic I took in auto mode no adjustments of a beautiful Nissan 280z
I've got one, the photos taken so far are better than that on the Xperia 1 II. There is no normal camera app though, only the Camera Pro is stock this time around.

I saw this review. Nothing really exiting or convincing so far. None of reviewed phones delivering outstanding photos to my opinion. Bloody Pixel 4 in still unbeatable in most situations in therms of final results so far. And this is weird...

honestly i bought this devices mainly for gaming + multimedia, the + for this devices : 6.44 large screen (1080p), fastest processor at the moment (S800), Slim design & water resistant, i dun bother abt the camera at all, as i will use my S4 camera with so much function. color of this devices still a let down...dunno y compare with all my Sam S4 AOLED, Mega 6.3 LCD, Galaxy Camera LCD even Huawei Ascend P1 devices XZU UI just look so colorless except viewing photo on sony album, even so it feel over saturated with some color... as i just finish charging devices i need to use more to see if the triluminos really standout.

Will be testing my Xperia Z Ultra the same way as you did. But, it should gives me pretty great time with video watching on 6.4 inch display. LOL!:good:

Camera eq is acceptable. For cam whores, they are better off getting a Honami instead. Overall experience is great with this phone. Many people in my country is complaining of yellowish screen though.

update! screen were sharp, display color were great only with adapt lighting off, except white color wash out unless set to 100% brightness.
speaker sound goes soft after dip in water but sound not so low as XZ & S4 Active.
processor was so powerful, not sure cos of no root but every things was Damn fast. (every android i got 1st day rooted unless root not available)
gaming was super, playing Nova 3 was a shock with it vibration feedback i thought i was holding a X-box controller!
down point : XZU MHL is only 1.0, i just bought 1 MHL 2.0 adapter which can connect HDMI + USB card at the same time but XZU & XTZ not respond to it.
I can only said your eye got problem. You need 100% brightness!!! Oh my god!
How can you see the screen more than a minute with 100% brightness!
They is no washout issue in white as you mention.
I use default around 50% with adapt with lighting conditions and off optimize backlight. Vividness and pure black.

another eye problem sony fan boy saying others who dun side any manufacturer...if u compare TZ & ZU ofcos ZU look great, for ur info i comparing with all the devices (AMOLED + LCD) which i had! & hello who the hell told u i set brightness to 100% more den 1min, i was saying i tested 100% brightness the white color still wash out comparing to Mega 6.3 LCD display. or maybe ur life is so colorless thats y 50% + adapt light on is enough for u.

hi, i wanna noe the current price for xperia z ultra and xperia z ultra lte version~~ thanks.
Hello, I have a Galaxy Note 2. I don't find the need to upgrade to Note 3. I use the S-pen often to write notes and use the devise to read/annotate pdf. I also take photos very often and sometimes videos as well. I also use the voice recorder. I found the screen of the Note 2 a bit small. I have to change my glass and zoom in all the time. I have been waiting for the Note Pro 8" but disappointingly Samsung only announced the Tab Pro 8" without a S-pen. I suppose that in the summer or later this year, they will make the Note Pro 8" available. At that time, I will certainly buy it. Between now and then, I am considering whether or not to trade in my Note 2 for the Xperia Z Ultra. Any opinions appreciated.

Do you take a lot out photos? If yes, i would skip the Ultra to be honest.
I have note 3 and XZU and if you take a lot of pics then stay away from Xperia Z Ultra. The camera is very bad and pictures have a lot of noise in them.
I am going to do a photoshoot with the Xperia to see how bad it really is. I am an amateur photographer but I will only take the phone this time to see what I come up with because when using ISO 50 and 100 I am getting decent results unlike when I first got the phone and was shocked how horrible things were.
Thanks for all the replies.
1. Somewhere I read that there is an optional lens that could make the device one of the best in terms of photo quality. Anybody tried it? Can't find it on the local Sony website.
2. I have an extra stylus from Note 1. In terms of drawing and writing, how the Xperia Z Ultra compared with the Note 3?
3. Is there a good screen protector to avoid scratches?
4. How about the voice recording capability?
5. Is it easy to do file transfer between the device and PC especially the Mac?
6. I use ezpdf reader. Does larger screen means seeing more things at larger size?
Before the Note Pro 8" comes out, if not trading-in for the Z Ultra, what do you recommend? Too bad the iPad Air and rMini do not have a phone function.
1. That's the QX10 and QX100.
2. The S-Pen and other Wacom styluses doesn't work.
3. I would think so, but I'm not using one, so I don't know.
4. Quality wise? No idea. Not using it.
5. No tools or programs are necessary on Windows to transfer files. It's just drag and drop. There is an Android transfer tool for Mac.
6. Yes. If you want even more space, lower the screen DPI. I think you'll be fine though.
Overall, it doesn't support the S-Pen or other specialized styluses. It supports regular pens and stuff like that. The camera isn't good either, but video recording is okay.
The Ultra is mostly targeted at business people who has to handle a lot of documents (especially reading) and stuff like that, and it won't match your criterias if you like to draw and use styluses. It's a powerful tool, but I personally think you'll be happier with something that has all these stuff you're asking about integrated in a better way (like a Note).
Can I ask you what you plan on using it for? Work? Studies? Hobby?

Do you think note pro 8 gonna have phone function? as i recall, tab pro doesnt. Coz if tab pro have phone function, i might buy that one
It really comes to size I owned 6 of the note 2's nice phone but too small for me, I owned a note 3 which is a great phone to me it was much better then the note 2 but also too small - it lasted 2 days and I went back to the ultra once you use this Sony for a few days it is very hard to back to anything smaller. The note pro 8 does looking very interesting I am also looking for something bigger to replace my galaxy tab 7.7

I am a scientist. I use it mainly for work and hobby. In the past, I printed out lots of power point slides and pdf files for reading. However, I cannot carry all these with me while traveling. I am looking for a device that is excellent for annotating research papers and power points in pdf format. I like to take photos and videos. I spend about 1.5-2 hours on public transportation. Want to get some work done while waiting at the bus stop or on the bus or train. If there were a Note Pro of about 8" (with S-pen and phone capability), that would be the best. I would just trade in my phone for such device. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, Samsung decided not to release a Note Pro 8" but a Tab Pro 8". Is this a marketing strategy? Anybody has an idea when the Note Pro 8" would be out? I guess probably in the Fall. Considered to get the 12.2" Note Pro. Not sure if it is too heavy to use while waiting for the bus at the bus stop.
I tried the device in a store today. I viewed the same pdf file from both the Ultra Z and my Galaxy Note 2. Viewing the pdf from the Ultra Z was much better. The background was white and the letters were clear. Everything looked good until I tried the camera. The images were very bad compared with the same ones taken from my Galaxy Note 2. Wonder if I should buy the iPad Mini Retina Display or iPad Air. Then, trade in for the Note Pro 12.2 or Note Pro 8 later.

The camera is not too bad in good light, and is even usable if you don't use the stock camera app
I tried it in a store. It was very bright! Do you mean using other camera apps could lead to better quality photos? Which one do you recommend?
Hi,
I would like to buy this phone. The camera quality is on the 1. place for me.
I have read many review but everybody is talking differently...
I currently own Gionee E7 with great 16MP OmniVision shooter and I am
really afraid to swap it...
So is that 21mp camera good or not comparing to etc. Samsug galaxy s6??
Could someone upload unedited photos somewhere?
How camera quality is related to ROM updates?
Thanks!
There's camera samples everywhere, the sony imx 230 is very good at daylight, but for low light it is very under saturated! Also pretty noisy.
I reccomend to buy LeMax2 if you aim to buy a powerful device at a relative low price.
Otherwise, if camera is your number one reason to buy a phone, you should skip this.
It has a good camera, and sometimes you can take really good shots with enough lighting, but comparison with Galaxy S6 and others top-of-the-line smartphones is unfair.
Moreover, ROM developers are struggling to get full functionality with the camera, unless they aren't original based ROMs, so you are limited to EUI as of now.
And to add something, LeMax2 sensor camera is the same as these devices:
LeTV One Max X900
Meizu PRO 6, PRO 5
Honor 7
Elephone Vowney, M3
Lenovo Vibe X3
Sony Xperia Z5, Z3+, M5
Motorola Moto X Force, Moto X Play, Moto X Style, Droid Turbo 2
Thank you Star_dust6 for great answer!
It seems I will skip this device because of camera...

You're welcome.
As for smartphones with a really good camera, you should aim for something like LG G5: is a little bit expensive (350 €), but worth every penny.
I am thinking to get a budget phone like Xiaomi redmi 4, or 4x or Lenovo P2. However I am not sure how is the camera quality in these phones against our g2.
Any feedback please?

go to gsmarena, put all 3 devices in compare and see the differences...
many if the newer devices have better camera than lg g2...
yesterday, my wife bought a Huawei Honor 7 Lite (or 5C) and it beats my old lg g2 camera by a mile... mainly because a much better sensor and lower\brighter f-stop lens (f2.0)...
and the price of that new Huawei was around 210$ (carrier free)... sure, it can be found even cheaper on the internet...
The camera of the G2 is much better than the camera found on the redmi note 3 pro. I guess that the camera on the other budget Xiaomi phones ain't gonna be special, either. In daylight you can't see much of a difference between the G2 and the Xiaomis, but in low light the G2 performs much better. To sum this up, you don't buy Xiaomis for their cameras. You won't be so disappointed but you won't be amazed either. You should think of other criteria before buying a new phone.
Hit thanks if I helped!

Take a look at the mi5s. It's in your budget if you buy it from China and it's probably one of the best Xiaomis out there. When it came out it had some problems with the fingerprint sensor performance, though. I don't know if it has been fixed. The Lenovo zuk z2 (pro) is also a good option.
Looking forward to the launch tomorrow...the size of the box looks intriguing...hope there are some good deals on EE in the Uk

good point. sometimes the optical at night can be too bright.
Have to agree was looking forward to the X3 pro as an upgrade, but not overly excited to be honest...the Mi 11 seems better...
On another note is it just me or is anyone else hoping Sony launch the Xperia 1 III soon?
Hi, how are you ?
I have an a dilema, i hesitate on this find x3 pro or buy the S21 exynos (classic) ?
What do you think about that ?
I can't find any comparaison between this two because the X3 pro is only compared between S21 Ultra !
Thank ou in advance.

I've had the S21 Ultra 12Gb Exynos version for a week as a replacement for my Find X2 Pro. Gave my Find X2 Pro to my girl and regret it since.
Returned the S21 Ultra and got myself the Find X3 Pro and happy now!
The S21 Ultra turned me down in raw performance which was no where close to any SD888 device. Sure there's some major pros when it comes to the S21 U but same goes for the FX3Pro
I'm just glad to be back to Oppo
I'm glad to ear this i was buying the X3 pro yesterday (in replacement of my S10) please let me know when you have your X3 pro if it perform really better than the S21 ultra.

I've had it since a week and loving it every second. Performance is much better compared to the Exynos 2100 powered S21 Ultra.
The S21 Ultra holds 3 pros against de Find X3 Pro as far as they might concern anyone:
Zoom and 8K capabilities of the camera
Bigger battery ( though the X3 Pro seems to match battery life )
Bigger internal storage
For me these pros don't hold since I rarely use zoom and picture quality on the X3 Pro seems to be better
If battery drains a bit faster I'll just recharge the X3 Pro in a flash
I have a sufficient cloud drive so if my storage runs full I'll just move it there
For me the X3 Pro is the better option because it performs way better, charges faster and isn't as heavy and bulky as the S21 Ultra. A very well designed device which holds much easier and isn't that heavy
I've used the S21 Ultra for a week and at this point same goes for the Find X3 Pro
I wouldn't change back and I'm glad I switched

Yes exactly why I ordered my Find X3 Pro, all reviewers bark about the high price for the device but with this offer the value suddenly got a lot better. Also after latest firmware the device became a beast in performance. Now I know benchmarks don't tell the whole story but the Exynos powered S21 Ultra 16Gb only gave me 630000 points in Antutu. That seems like a serious difference in perrormance
