The Sony Xperia 1 III launched last week and so the crew spend this episode reminiscing about some of the best Sony phones of all time, discussing why Sony can’t seem to make an impact on the modern smartphone market and argue Sony vs Motorola. Also Nintendo had a surprise announcement this week with the Switch OLED coming to store this October… but it’s not exactly what we were expecting.

It's clear that Sherri knows nothing about Sony phones and their history.

For those complaining about the display ratio of 21:9... Is it that different from S21 or OnePlus phones, that are currently pushing something like 20.5:9 ratios? Give me a break.

Mr Mobile's review Made a pretty big error in saying that the phone doesn't support analog mic support via the headphone jack, and he hasn't apologized for it yet.

And you guys are still complaining about the name? You understand that Canon 5D mk IV Is that fourth generation of that camera, but you can't understand that the Xperia 1 mk iii is the third generation of that phone?

Sony has its faults, but the bias is real.
