That’s exactly why I ended up going the “used Pixel 6 + adapter” route instead :-)
Still don’t like scrambling for the adapter while a call is coming in though :D
My Xperia 1 III used to be quite disappointing at times (was too focused on RAW output for editing, even stacked HDR shot RAWs) but the 1 V is legit good and I can tell the new sensor stacking improved light capture (less noise in low light) and auto mode is much better, while I still see limitations both in auto and manual it’s not so bad. The most annoying parts have to do with focus and color balance when zooming in certain light conditions, and contrast in complex scenes in auto mode.
Well, there is no good reason for me to replace my 1 III yet, and probably for the next few years. So i might still look into sony, but it’s really hard to justify the price when there are huge compromises, even though I love a lot about xperias.
Or get a phone who still has the port from a company like Sony or Asus or whatever
I love my Sony but the camera is so dogshit that I couldn’t recommend it to anyone 😢

Yeah the price is steep. I had to get my 1 III used on Swappa.
