no lag.. only complains is they took off NFC through notification shortcut option there.. but i just switched it on for 24/7.. usually i prefer it turned off so it wont simply detect nothing when close to my wallet.. i need NFC for bluetooth headset connection..

the rest of it.. looks similar as usual Xperia.. smooth 120hz display.. when watching movie/streaming youtube, auto back to 60hz.. but in most scenarios, u wont notice any slow/lag..

charging time did feel warm to hold (low % to 75%).. above 75% slower charging and cool down already..

Don't have TNG 100 reload?

okay.. maybe different but i got RM100 (RM50 x 2)..

Went to get back screen protector and only matte could stick on it as it is matte finish glass on the back.. I stick clear one and it is failed.. so went to shop and they put on matte finish protector and it is on. But cannot see the Sony logo anymore..

Ps: Sony style cover with stand I purchased through Taobao.. it is not provide good protection on the side but only back.. but it is practical to use as a case.. another cons is Xperia 1 IV SIM tray moved to bottom. So you can't unplug SIM tray with case on just like 1 mk iii which it's on the side..

awesome thanks for the details and congrats on the phone

Let us know how is the battery life later
Quite shocking to see the score, one of the highest from their Endurance Rating too https://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_10_iv-review-2421p3.php

1 of my friend been using it now in bangkok.
He took 200+ pics on the same day and battery left 58% at 3pm. (SOT 4hour)

Battery life is quite good i guess?

He said camera overheat when taking photo under suns for about 15mins.

I think sony quite conservative on camera sensor temperature.

No, the package just arrived without prior notification

Omg sony...pure surprise strategy @@

any huge price reduction for Xperia 1 III after 4th generation launch?

guess their autofocus algoritms caused device temperature raised and ya.. same happened to Xperia 1 IV which Sony release few firmware update to improve it.. also, internal component do not have massive thermal heat dissipation parts to help as well.. anyways it is a smartphone that trying to mimic the prof camera system.. which their alpha camera also may have overheat issue.. =)

xperia 10 IV heard having super great battery life.. i guess 5000mAh and lower mid range processor S695.. Xperia 1 IV could last me for 1 day without any worries even i captured a lot of photos and videos + uploading video.. but i have declared i didnt use it for gaming.. that's maybe different stories.. i did a lot of youtube and netflix + chrome browsing..

every phone having high temperature except iphone 13 series (unless put stress limit on gaming).. but normal usage, dont think any kind of overheating.. xperia 1 iv received very bad feedback on overheating and in fact i dont think that's so bad as per they mentioned like cannot record more than 3 minutes of videos and camera app force closed.. so far i test 4k 30 fps with stabilization on, eyes af on and default auto.. up to 28 minutes+ to close app due to high temperature.. prbably they mainly use 4K 120FPS for video recording which i feel it is quite dumb as the file size is huge and 4K 120FPS should be use for few seconds record and post processing to slow the video down to serve its purpose instead of fully capture entire video with 4K 120FPS.. dont know about them but so far im okay with the phone performance..

one thing couldnt deny is snapdragon didnt do great job in chipset as these 2 years most flagship phone hav ehigh temperature issue.. hold the demo phone in phone shop and all having warm feeling.. but not for iphone.. if planning to stay at android platform, really not many choices.. average users with flagship device wont notice any big issue..

it did but not massive price reduction.. but officially i saw sony centre only display Pro-I and 5 III.. not sure there is any stock exist for Xperia 1 III.. but earlier should be 5799 RRP and the price i saw is 5299.. not massive to me.. ProI officially is 6699 now..

still too pricey for me

btw i really like sony as still keep sdcard slot, 3.5mm jack and wireless charging for their flagship!

pick the one which within your budget.. only pick the one you like whenever you are able to afford it..

SD card slot still is an advantage for myself.. 3.5mm jack is an optional.. but mostly im using their wireless headset or earbuds.. but for those who have great pair of wired headphone, yes.. it is super plus point for them..

i think myself prefer xperia over others due to UI and the only display without punch hole & most importantly weight less than 200g.. as long as they maintain no punch hole, 21:9 ratio, and weight below 200g, im going to support them.. seriously more than 200g phone is too much for me especially after add a case (15~20g)?!

but everyone have own preference, some friend and colleagues used to iOS system, so they stayed with it.. android ahve different UI is fine (could change the home app for your own preference).. the rest more on camera implementation system.. display, sounds.. some camera zoom lens are frustrating whenever condition a little dark, they are switching between main (digital zoom) & telephoto lens (optical)..
display like i said, personal preference..

hopefully sony continue to stay and dont be like LG.. mainstream left apple, samsung, xiaomi, oppo, vivo.. the rests consider dan lain-lain already..

only one down side from Sony is quite hard to find the service center in Penang

they have one.. but they dont service it on the spot.. for any warranty claim, need to visit below shop.. they will collect and ship to KL for warranty claim & repair.. Previous model, no repair, 1 to 1 replacement within warranty period.. i knew it cause i claimed it before..

for mk 4 and onwards, they have setup service centre in KL already.. but yeah, limited and still need to ship to KL for any warranty claim.

LKH Sales & Services
No. 160, Seang Teik Road, 10400, Penang.
Tel: 04-2261150
Operation Hour : 8.30am - 5.30pm Mon - Fri 8.30am - 12.30pm Saturday

Most likely due to s695 + 5000 mah Battery on 60hz screen

Sayang if use sd8g1+ will be even better temperature and battery life.
Oh well...like u said..it is good already .

Thank you for testing

Assuming I didn't go photo shoot and just casual usage and listening music.. phone battery quite satisfying..

This is based on 91% of battery as I set max 90% battery charging overnight and unplug at 8am.. I did stream music and play at background through YouTube with my earbuds. The rest of time just scroll fb, chrome, watch YouTube videos.. 7 hours+.. I guess max could reach 8hours with 100%..




But if went outdoor for photoshoot and videoshoot, including video edit and upload.. battery screen on time around 5hours + based on my memory.. also quite decent I guess.. but it won't be like iPhone 13 Pro max, that one have longer endurance..
