I upgraded to a Sony Xperia 1 III back in August. The side-mounted fingerprint scanner works flawlessly and is fast. I also like the form factor (more slender). Still learning the cameras.

So I have now had my Xperia 1 M3 for one month now so I feel more comfortable writing my impressions. First off I should put my observations in context. This is my first Sony phone since I had an SE P1 back in the old Symbian days. I moved to the 1 M3 from a Nokia 9 PureView. Previous to the...

Got a link to the button remap instructions? Thanks.

I've had my 1 III now since Aug 26th (bought directly from Sony) and I have been enjoying the experience. I still have a lot to learn on the camera side, I only verified they all work. I only seem to receive 4G at my home but if I walk half a block from the home I get 5g. Must be in a bad...

I have a Nokia 9 Pureview and the in-display FPS only works about 10% of the time and none of HMD's updates have ever improved it. Their face unlock became useless with masks so I can only use a PIN to unlock. So Google going to an in-display FPS give me pause. My ancient Nexus 6p rear FPS...

According to the Sony US site for the 1 III, it supports most of the sub6 and 2.5g 5g channels. It looks very good for T-Mobile support. No mmWave support but then that is likely not a big deal for many of us. I am very interested in the III as long as it is not priced higher than the 1II at...

Mine has help up pretty well. As you mentioned the fingerprint reader is useless and with mask wearing so is face unlock. My battery is no longer holding a charge as well either. I bought mine on 03/04/2019 so I'm coming up on 2 years. I have been looking for a replacement for the past...

Actually, a maintenance update was released on June 1st. It fixed several nagging issues like the camera and fingerprint reader.

Having had my Nokia 9 PV since the first weekend of March I can tell you there has been improvements to the fingerprint reader. However; the improvements depend on one's actual fingerprints and how much different they appear depending on the dryness of your skin. In my case the improvements...

Nokia release notes only mentions the June security update but some users are saying the fingerprint sensor is working better. I have seen better reads but I want to give it more time before I am convinced.

I tried this again since the latest update. I have successfully set up a different picture for the home screen and the lock screen with AOD (Glance) enabled.

The fingerprint reader is much improved with this update.

I was pretty lucky that my 6p was still functioning up to March 6th when I retired it for a Nokia 9. Had it since November 2nd 2015. The battery was not lasting long but no boot looping yet.

Looks like a bug since in settings it shows me I have a different wallpaper for home screen and lock screen but in reality it just uses the wallpaper selected for home screen for both.

You do it from Settings, Display, Wallpaper. Select your image and tap on "set wallpaper". You then have the option to set that image for the Home screen, Lock screen, or both.
