As a massively disappointed xperia 1 iii owner I can say good ridance. Great hardware with dogshit software that literally kills said hardware. Backlight inconsistencies, fp scanner inconsistencies, dead fp scanner, random warnings about water in charging port when phone is sitting on a table, massive delays waking up if screen was locked with maps, camera or some other heavy app running, clueless support, shit battery reporting, no way to take quality video quickly, no way to take any video quickly, 60MB updates taking half an hour to install, phone being useless for 2-3 minutes after a reboot, phone being useless for ~5 minutes after an update an reboot, etc.
TL;DR: never buying a sony phone ever again. A grand for this piece of shit! Ridiculous.

My 1V is a solid improvement over the 1III, a lot of small issues have been fixed (although I'm still missing a lot of customization options from Samsung phones)

Interesting. I've got a 1 III that I pre-ordered from the first batch. The only issue I've had is that the fingerprint scanner totally stopped working at this point, but I haven't found any indication it's software over the thing physically failing. Was damn near perfect before that, in my experience anyway.

I have had zero hardware failure on any of my phones until sony. None. Ever.

Lucky.
I had a Nexus 6P that'd power down at 70% battery remaining, a Note 4 that stopped accepting input from the (undamaged as far as I could tell) screen, two other Samsungs with unreliable fingerprint readers, one of those also had a camera that stopped autofocusing and basically became useless. The Samsungs also had a myriad of charger issues from the phantom water detection to one that started getting super hot and melted a USB cable and nearly caught fire while mounted in my car.

The hardware is great, though. Have you tried installing LineageOS on your phone? I'm guessing a lot of your issues would disappear

I haven't as, for the first time in my life, I have an actual use for a camera. I don't want to lose it.
