Releasing a "gaming phone" with 8 Gen1 in Q3 2022... How long before Sony "LGs" itself?
What a waste of electronics releasing so late in the year but still using older overheating part when there's a much better more efficient one already available.

Yeah, with one of these record making coolants that are impractical and almost no one can get access to or use daily maybe.
sony want to tame this overheating beast
Get a Rog Phone instead
Hang on, how come this Gaming Edition with bundled cooling case and 16GB RAM cost $300 less than the standard model itself? That MSRP is a steal!
Gusta, 13 Sep 2022I prefer 12GB of RAM with SD 8+ Gen 1 than 16GB of RAM with "hot" SD 8 Gen 1.Wait for snapdragon gen 2 with 20gb of ram.
mew151, 12 Sep 2022Still no 8+ gen 1? Is Sony out of their minds!? Using an overheating chipset on a gaming phone lolI don't think sony ignorged that, the fan should fix that problem
asking sony to use 8+gen 1 chip for a gaming phone is like asking samsung to use 8+ gen 1 chip for the second generation of s22 ultra..people are just dumb..how can you have different chipsets for the same mode, relesed in the same year .with only a different ram.. for people worrying about throttling,the xperia stream,a cooling case for the phone was released for a reason i.e to tackle the throttling..
77, 13 Sep 2022In games you need the Gpu, unless you root and have cpu and gpu both kicking in to get 120fpsTrue.. almost mobile phones only has FHD+ screen. The higher resolution, the higher RAM needed.. CMIIW
8GB is enough for FHD+, 12GB is better for 2K+ / QHD+ screen. 16GB is overkill for mobile gaming which has less graphic quality than console n PC.
Better use SD 8+ Gen 1 with less RAM because SD 8 Gen 1 is easy throttled.
And you don't make any sense cuz other gaming phones use the same 8 Gen 1 chip peepee and plz go to ur bed

Truther, 12 Sep 2022Sony needs to tap into their walkman division so they can drop a walkman DAC in their phones~ that could be the one for the future, sony xperia pro-a

blue, 12 Sep 2022This really needs 16 GB? Isn't the CPU in fact more neccessary?In games you need the Gpu, unless you root and have cpu and gpu both kicking in to get 120fps
