I really, REALLY  hope Sony has addressed the PWM issues of their screen.
It seems this model was mostly a light refresh of the 10 III, so I really hope they focused on QoL fixes to justify that price.

Adding OIS to the main camera seems like a great step in the correct direction, so we will have to wait for the reviews in here to see if they attempted to solve the PWM issues of the screen.

I am very sensitive to PWM as well, OLED samsungs at low brightness make me sick, save few exceptions. Would you please describe what made the xperia 10 mk3 particularly bad in this area?

according to notebookcheck review that you can find here if you search it, OLED screen for Xperia 10 mk3 has 120-242 hz PWM when brightness is below 61%

BUT this is actually an improvement from the disaster the Xperia 10 Mk2 was. That one had a nasty 116Hz PWM rating at all times, even at 100% brightness!


So fingers crossed they actually worked on that on this model to solve it. Seeing as they added Triluminos to the display, it means they probably put effort into improving it.

This is probably the phone to get if you're a hardcore Sony fanboy but don't want to pay a premium for all the hyped features of Xperia 1iv.

It's sad they wouldn't even include a cable in the box.

And where is the review ? Both Bulgarian sites (***Arena) posted their review a few weeks ago. You're way too late Notebookcheck.

Would also really like a review, please. Especially the PWM test that you guys do, unlike other sites.

And while we are at it, don't forget about telephony and GPS quality. Now that they increased the brightness of the screen and battery, having IP65/IP68 makes this an attractive option to replace bulky outdoor phones.

You need to sort out your automatic comment section, Notebookcheck. Here's what we find for this phone:

6.00":

This display is quite big for a smartphone but frequently used for smartphones.
