Appearance and workmanship

In addition to the plastic film and 30W charging head with the mobile phone, all the packaging in the genuine environmental protection paper box is made of paper (including plastic earphones, films and mobile phone cases).


Xperia 1 Initial, Xperia 1 II and Xperia 1 III


First generation of Xperia 1 II, Xperia 1 III, Xperia 1

Sony is the model of family inheritance. Although there were one or two generations of traitors in the process, we can still see the shadow of the classic design of that year after the changes of the times. Put the three generations of Xperia 1 together, you can know they are a family at a glance. The outline is square, the corners are round, and the body is long and narrow, giving consideration to both vision and feel.


Be yourself bravely. There is no perforated screen at 21:9, while keeping the extremely advanced indicator light, headphone hole and TF card expansion. This is the original Android, antique, as if it is more "Android" than the Google Pixel series. Ancestral card slot without card needle, excellent experience. The textured two stage shutter shows professionalism and pursuit, and is comfortable!

  • Vibrating motor: It is said that the hardware is like an apple, and you can experience a giant motor that is like a rotor. The actual feel does not disappoint people's expectations, and every time you unlock it, you will be reminded of the vibration;

  • Side fingerprint: Sony is one of the first mobile phones to start using the side fingerprint, but after years of iteration, Xperia 1 is also a consistent experience;

  • External release: Open OK, symmetrical, balanced, strong sense of three-dimensional.

 

screen

Xperia 1 III micrograph, standard Pentile diamond arrangement

6.5 inch 4K 120Hz OLED, 3840 × 1644643ppi, 10bit (8 shake 10), 240Hz touch sampling+240Hz dynamic compensation. 480Hz PWM dimming (the Notebookcheck test result is 476.2Hz), medium and high brightness is high duty cycle, and there is an egg DC dimming core.

Besides Sharp R6, this is the top mobile phone screen with the highest specification today, and also the top mobile phone of the Bank of China. The daily use is 2560x1096 120Hz, and a small number of scenes such as photos and videos will be fully opened at 3840x1644 120Hz (resulting in slow loading of the album's zoom map).

It was once said that "the human eye cannot see the difference between 2.5K and 4K", but if it is in the Xperia 1 III library. Even if you don't look at it carefully, the solid color image of the 4K screen is more "flat", a kind of "clean" that the 2KA screen does not have and is close to the high-resolution LCD screen.

The system has its own master mode and standard mode. The former corresponds to the sRGB color gamut, while the latter is "gorgeous, but not completely gorgeous". There is no clear corresponding color gamut, but it can manually select a specific application to call the master mode automatically.

 

Master mode, manual D65, sRGB color accuracy

Standard mode, color temperature 7391K, covering more than 100% of sRGB color gamut, 87% of P3 color gamut, 81.7% of Adobe RGB color gamut. The gamma value is 2.19, and the average gray scale is 2.6. The average color deviation under sRGB is 2.7, and the maximum color deviation is 5.3. The average color deviation under P3 color gamut is 2.4, and the maximum is 6.4.

In master mode, the color temperature is 6763K (slightly higher), the gamma value is 2.16 (slightly lower contrast), the average gray scale is 4.9, covering 92.3% of the sRGB color gamut (really elegant with the naked eye), the average color deviation is 3.4, the maximum is 7.8, and the performance is average.

However, Sony also has a slider for user-defined color temperature, which is manually adjusted to the standard D65 (6500K color temperature), and the color accuracy is immediately improved to the average color deviation of 1.8, the maximum color deviation of 3.5, and the upstream level (the top stream record is still the two flagship green plants, with an average color deviation of 1.1).



Sony's advantage lies in the fact that the settings give a variety of common standard color temperatures, such as D50/D55/D61/D65/D93, and are also marked as approximate values. In addition to the fact that D91 is 8600K, the difference between other standard color temperatures is only 50K-100K. It seems that this generation is not going to go beyond the "monitor" version (manual funny. jpg)

The 21:9 screen is very thin and long. When watching a movie, the full screen displays without black edges. It is very comfortable to hold. Many pages can be displayed on one screen without scrolling, which is highly efficient. However, the screen width is close to that of the 5-inch mobile phone of the year, and the font is slightly small, which is a bit eye-catching.


system

The Bank of China version has its own Google framework, uses daily interactive message push service, and pre installs Cross Fire (after all, Sony is a cross fire partner, and there are few mobile phone manufacturers with pre installed games, Surprise!) A few apps, such as App Treasure, QQ Music, Station B, Baidu, Weibo, Migu Lingxi, can be uninstalled. There is no recorder or weather in the system's own app, which is extremely clean.

Because Google is a non-existent 404 website, the voice assistant button on the side and the long press of the home button have been changed to "Migu Lingxi". The latter is just a translation tool and is not very useful, but you can download third-party voice assistants such as Xiaoai by yourself.

 

Game Enhancer Settings Page


The performance, picture (4 templates can be saved), sound effect settings (4 templates can be saved) of the game intensifier can make different settings for different games

Before the death of hydrogen, everyone laughed that the primary system was a rough room. Although the living room and bedroom of Sony's native system are simple, the game room, audio-visual room and photo darkroom are all well decorated.

After all, Sony is a partner across the line of fire. The image quality, performance, and sound effects of the game mode are detailed and can be set for different applications. In addition, the 21:9 field of vision is a physical plug-in that can detect the enemy earlier. The "Low Gamma Booster", as its name implies, is to lower the Gamma value of the screen and raise the dark details to help you catch "Voldemort" in the game.


Sony's native system has no long screenshots, no call recording (after all, there is no recorder), the gesture bar at the bottom cannot be hidden, and the virtual buttons cannot be transposed. Domestic users need to use third-party APP to solve this problem.

However, this original system has many functions that are not available in domestic ROMs: battery maintenance (automatic or manual setting of charging stop time and percentage limit for overnight charging), more and stronger split screens (also recording common application combinations), small window functions, and side feel (official side startup bar). Even OTA is more intensive and timely than some domestic ROMs.

Also, because the native like system does not have the strict background restrictions of domestic ROMs, the Xperia 1 III system is very comfortable.

  • Variable periscope telephoto, 1200W, 1.25 μ m, 1/2.9 '', capable of switching between 70mm (2.9 times), F2.3 and 105mm (4.4 times), F2.8

Sony's telephoto setting has the word "professional" engraved on the forehead. 2.9 times and 4.4 times, respectively, correspond to the 70mm and 105mm focal sections in the field of photography. It seems silly, but it seems natural to think carefully.


Eye focusing


Real time tracking

This year, a Sony camera team was launched. Xperia 1 III focuses on real-time tracking, automatic eye focusing and photography capture capabilities such as the Master Photographer App. The physical shutter button alone is worth adding 200.

Today's mobile phone's camera app is no more complex and professional than Sony's, with many adjustable items. It has the same operating interface as Sony's Wedan, but the threshold for use is relatively high. In addition to ordinary videos, there is also the "movie master" app. The use logic is the same as video editing. Before recording, the project is built first, and then the recorded clips are all together for easy management (in the stored file directory, they are really stored in separate folders).

There are not many Sony mobile phone users in China, so mainstream media rarely compare Sony and mainstream flagship cameras. We satisfied our curiosity this time and took photos with iPhone 12 Pro Max, Xiaomi 11 Ultra and Sony Xperia 1 III for comparison.

2.9x vs. 4.4x zoom

According to the commonly used 70mm and 105mm focal sections, Sony has set the Xperia 1 III long focal length at 2.9x and 4.4x magnification (after all, it is a professional pursuit). For this reason, we purposely switched the other two mobile phones to 2.9x and 4.4x zoom in this test.

The Xiaomi 11 Ultra uses the main camera digital cutting before the 3x zoom, and between 3x and 5x will call the sample of the composite 5x telephoto lens. Therefore, when the Xiaomi 11 Ultra 2.9x zoom is used, it is actually the main camera to zoom in and cut, and there is no suspense in this part. When the zoom is 4.4 times, the central area is actually a picture of 5 times the length of the focal head, and there is no suspense in this part.

Summary

Xperia 1 III has a good photo taking experience, fast shutter response, fast switching between main and auxiliary shots, and shorter turn time of multi frame synthesis than the normal flagship.

Sony Xperia 1 III has its own imaging style, which I would like to call "Sowei":

  1. The white balance tends to be bluish, like press exposure, and the contrast is slightly higher;

  2. The HDR effect of the main camera and ultra wide angle is "turned on, but not fully turned on". The intensity is very light, and it is easy to lose dark details. The night scene photometry is loyal to the restoration of the naked eye, which is quite different from the mainstream flagship style. The main camera is active in multi frame synthesis, the daubing force is strong, the noise is well controlled, and the discrimination force is weak;

  3. Ultra wide angle and telephoto tend to be yellowish green, and the noise reduction application is also very hard (especially after HDR is triggered). The noise points are well pressed and the discrimination is general.

Users of Xperia 1 III can recite: take Mercedes Benz and drive BMW. Professional equipment may not be the most beautiful, but it must be the most fun.


Performance&endurance&charging&heating

CPU performance


GPU performance


Flash memory read/write performance

Snapdragon 888 and standard 12GB LPDDR5 memory have nothing to say. The Android camp has the strongest peak performance, but it is enthusiastic. The performance output is the Snapdragon 888 which is slightly higher than normal.


The room temperature is 25 degrees. Elite of Peace HDR+limited frames+anti aliasing+shadow. The average frame rate is 57.2 after 28 minutes.


GPU GFLOPS test results are for reference only. The room temperature is 23.7 ℃, and it is stable at 7.6W in 1.5 minutes, 6.4W in 150 seconds, and fluctuates at 260s. The trough is 4.4W, and each time it falls for about 10 seconds, and then it returns to 6.4W, in a cycle.

Xperia 1III uses a larger area of heat dissipating graphite, which is the self-cultivation of Snapdragon 888 flagship. Sony has done a good job. In addition to the strongest cooling configuration in Sony's history, the Xperia 1III is also very aggressive in temperature control, which is just like the tuning of game phones. For daily use, it is recommended to plug all the cancer apps into the "Power Saving and Energy Excellence" app. If there are requirements for heating or endurance, the "H.S power control" and high refresh rate limit in the game intensifier should be flexibly applied.


4500mAh battery, after 30 minutes of "Peace Elite" (HDR high-definition+limit frames+anti aliasing), 30 minutes of 1080P video playback at station B, 30 minutes of short video on microblog, 30 minutes of Wi Fi and 5G surfing, a total of 2.5 hours of endurance testing, the remaining power is 63%, equal to Xiaomi 11 and iPhone 12.

 

30W fast charge, room temperature 27 ℃, 1-100% charge, 10 minutes 19%, 30 minutes 53%, 1 hour 80%, 1 hour 48 minutes display 100% (peak 22W and maintain 28 minutes, 15W 10 minutes, 10W 20 minutes, 1 hour 5 minutes into 6W trickle flow 22 minutes, 2 hours 10 minutes off charge).

 

Official logo 10W wireless, use Xiaomi's 80W air-cooled wireless charger (MDY-13-ED, 20V 6A) base to input a peak value of 13.2W, 12.8W can last for 2 hours, 10W can last for 20 minutes, 2 hours and 40 minutes show full charge, 3 hours and 3 minutes off charge.


summary

Sony Sambo ↑

This year's Xperia 1 III has the help of Sony Sambo's "display, video, and game" department. It has a top screen and unique industrial design. Although it is a kind of native system, its games and cameras are versatile and professional. It is positioned as a professional flagship, just like a racing car. It may not be the most powerful and fastest, but it must be the most fun to drive. It can make people and cars together.

It is definitely not a perfect machine, and will persuade many people to leave, but it is a rare machine that can make me excitedly try changing machines.

 

In LG, the mobile phone market is becoming more and more homogeneous. I would like to thank every mobile phone manufacturer who still insists on it. Their different insistence gives small groups a choice.
