General feedback:

• Size wise: It will be nice if the phone is less wide (this phone is not for folks with small hands)
• Camera: This is subjective, the main camera tend to add more ooph (saturation) to the results.

It does not matter if I disable HDR &/or AI.​

The photos look good on screen but the colors have their saturation boosted, so some may not like it.​

• Performance: The Snapdragon gen 7+ Gen 3 SOC + UFS 4,0 flash makes the phone more responsive than my Sense 8. The higher framerate on the display helps as well.
• Battery life: This can easily last me from 7am to 10pm daily starting at 90% & ending with 20-25% battery.

Vices experienced so far:
1) There seems to be a bug in the ambient light sensor, it tends to make the main screen dimmer than it should , especially outdoors.
2) I had the camera app hang a couple of times when I was overseas (Once while recording video)

Overall, I think this phone was misleadingly marketed for its photography capabilities.
The only thing "Pro" about it is its ability to take photos in RAW format when using manual photography mode.
That said, it is quite a good phone at its current discounted price ($500 or less).
At its original retail price, it is a flop.

Old Sony phones were not good at auto. 1vi is quite good now. Sharp R9 pro also.

Hi all,

I am looking at the R9. Currently saw this seller selling at this price. Not sure if anyone purchased anything from this seller before?

IMO up to u, might worth the try since with voucher will be even cheaper. u could try to register upon receiving your set & if doesn't work, request for return & refund.

there are a few reviews all happy, IDK maybe they trying to clear their stocks

R8 Pro now 685.. compare to R9 Pro worth buying 1299 one?
