XPERIA 1iii vs 1 ii: Worthy of a One-Year Upgrade?

XPERIA 1 iii comparison! The highest praise I can award a new phone is that it's so improved over last year's phone that it's worth upgrading after a year. The XPERIA 1 iii brings some GREAT quality of life improvements, but are they enough to recommend flipping your XPERIA 1 ii? It's time for a showdown!

Ever since I heard about the Xperia 1 III, I've wanted it so badly.

[bassandtrebleclef]

I can't think of anyone who would 'need' to have a new phone every year. This is a want vs need issue.

[juanchoteado]

my man, you're criminally underrated. great job!

XZ series owners -- it's definitely time to upgrade.

[SonyEnthusiast]

Great comparison Juan! 👍 I have the 1 II, but I still want the 1 III!

[sunnybunny]

Hearing that classic juanbagnell speaker test sent me back a few years in time lol

[MrJoeyAQ]

I'm upgrading from my Xperia 1 original so I'm hyped.

Thanks for your coverage of the Experia Mark 3 Juan. I watched your video before any others, and your predictions of what others would say were spot on. I was rolling my eyes watching other reviewers ignore features on this device to nit-pick small things like a name or the Pro Mode for photos and videos. Thank you for being honest, and I can't wait for your full review. I'm between this and the Pixel 6/6pro.

I think I'm going to wait for the Xperia 1 iv, I'm really enjoying my Xperia 1 ii!🥰

Update as of July 12th, 2021: I preordered the Sony Xperia 1 iii.

[BrayGrayy]

Would love to hear more about day-to-day battery life on the 1iii. As a 1ii owner, my biggest gripe is that I consistently have to charge it again by 5pm.

[SpencersStuffTV]

Glad to see another video like this! Pre ordered my 1 III to replace my 1 I. Still tired of seeing mainstream reviewers dog on this phone though. also I love that you're using that smart power draw during video and photo editing. I'm going to be using mine on my gps apps

[HeadphonePH]

Really like this one-year upgrade worth it or not vids that you've been doing. So invaluable!

JuanplusBagnell is on a roll this week

[circonis]

I don't like it .... I love this comparison 🎊🙌🏼 but I'm honestly more excited about the 5 III because of that sexy green color 🤤

[GabrielGGabGattringer]

As a Sony A6300 owner/user this camera app looks familiar. Makes me wanna have it on my Xiaomi Pocophone F1. Oh wait. That´s why I shoot 99% of all photos with Sony A6300!

[fatproduce]

I like seeing the TV in the background too! A great new stage setup!

[jacksonp]

Pls review Asus Zenfone 8 (non-flip) if possible

[matthewweflen]

I am upgrading from the XZ2 PRemium to the Xperia 1iii. From that time/feature distance it's a no brainer.

[gileseatsgrass]

Love that these have a headphone jack and memory card storage. Love the flat screen too with no notch or holes
