If modern smartphones had 95% head-to-body-ratios and had equal-sized bezels, they could have 1/2.5"-type selfie cameras, and potentially even with OIS, just like this old Sony phone. There is enough space to do so, even with a punchole cutout, but the bezels are somewhat in the way.
I would love it if a company did this setup for their selfies:
•50MP, 24mm (wide), f/1.4+f1.9, 1/2.5"-type, 0.7μm, multi-directional PDAF, Laser AF, dual OIS (3-axis sensor-shift, 2-axis lens-shift)
•50MP, 12mm (ultrawide) f/1.4+f/1.9, 1/2.5"-type, 0.7μm, multi-directional PDAF, Laser AF, dual OIS (3-axis sensor-shift, 2-axis lens-shift)
•0.3MP, ToF 3D LiDAR (depth/Laser AF/biometrics)
YUKI93, 03 Sep 2023It'd be hilarious if Sony put the same 12MP 1/1.7" camera sensor from the 2020/2021/... moreImx563 (current super wide and previously rear of 5 mark 1) can do too.
YUKI93, 03 Sep 2023It'd be hilarious if Sony put the same 12MP 1/1.7" camera sensor from the 2020/2021/... moreCurrent bezel has about 6,5mm to house 1/2.9".
Imagine size to fit 1/1.67".
The photosensitive are alone is more than 7mm tall, then add the sensor frames.
10mm bezel would not be enough.
Obviously that 2024 or 2025 devices will be using exmor T of 1/2.9" or bit smaller.
ah,sony and their mediocre attempts to scaffold with the competition,
you have to suffer, 03 Sep 2023it indeed predates the v21. a front camera with OIS and front flash.The V21 literally has both.
It'd be hilarious if Sony put the same 12MP 1/1.7" camera sensor from the 2020/2021/2022 Xperia 1/5 primary camera as the front camera on the next-gen Pro-I. After all, they all can do 4K/120fps video recording.
Anonymous, 03 Sep 2023Still lacks LCD, the front cam, high res rear camera, the 16:9 screen, no metal frames. you either have no choice. 16:9 is no longer to be used in 2023 sadly. phones nowadays have become remote controls.
Anonymous, 03 Sep 2023I would gladly buy one if they made a 2023 edition with updated internals. - Any SoC 2 x A... moreSwap that processor for a Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 or 778G and we have a deal.
you have to suffer, 03 Sep 2023your requirements came close. the xperia 10 v Still lacks LCD, the front cam, high res rear camera, the 16:9 screen, no metal frames.
Wasn't the XA2 Plus best ?
Anonymous, 03 Sep 2023I wonder what would be your opinion on samsung when samsung only copies other brands. If copying leads you to sell millions of phones, that's good, it's bad when you copied and you don't sell, now you don't copy and they sell less

The C3 Ultra, XA Ultra and XA2 Ultra was like few of the Sony phones I wanted to have. It was great minus the mediocre chipset. I wish Somy made an Xperia 10 Max or Ultra variant for those wanting a more larger display but at an affordable price. It would be one model worth getting out of the current smartphone lineup that's not a flagship.

it appears you have one of them. anyway, phones nowadays even expensive ones do not even have front led flash!! perhaps no one ever took a selfie at dark environment? or maybe they have a use of bright oled screens.
justasmile, 03 Sep 2023There's another. Thats the V21.it indeed predates the v21. a front camera with OIS and front flash.
