Sony Xperia 1 IV vs Samsung S22 Ultra Reddit

Below is a little comparison i made while using the 1 iii and the S22 U.

I use the Xperia for:

The unique DSLR type camera setup that it has which lets you tinker with SS, ISO, Exposure, ect.. and i believe that the quality and realism that the Xperia camera gets me beats the S22 U, especially in good lighting conditions. The Xperia becomes a dud at night or in poor lighting conditions however. I don't carry a tripod around to get that extra stability, esp at night or low light conditions.
MicroSD storage option, allowing me to put up to 1 TB extra memory. I am someone who needs memory support and i am not paying for cloud services to get access to storage. I put all my music and media on my Xperia device. The S22 U kinda forces you to pay more if you want more storage.
It has the 3.5mm jack which allows me to use my pro headphones to listen to quality music on the go, something that the S22 U is lacking. The Xperia also comes with a built in headphone setting which allows you to tinker with various bass/equalizer modes.
It has a unique 21:9 aspect ratio which is perfect for watching movies and Netflix.
And finally, it is a flagship device with the S888 which is much better than the Exynos counterpart on my S22 U and the narrow width of the Xperia allows me to hold the phone perfectly in landscape, especially while gaming and watching media.

I need the S22 U for:

The S pen - i do a lot of notes taking on the go and i cannot live w/o this feature unfortunately.
The point and shoot feature of the S22 U gives me a peace of mind, knowing that any picture will come out perfectly unlike the Xperia which is a hit or miss in Auto mode, unless you tinker with the settings manually. The Xperia camera is more of a passion/hobby if i may say so - finding the correct lighting and correct setting, reducing the noise levels as much as possible (and even editing in lightroom - which I don't use) and holding the phone with precise stability to capture the perfect picture.
As my primary phone - since the battery is far superior than the Xperia (since the latter is always in 4k res and cannot be turned off) and the brightness level far surpasses the Xperia since i use my phone a lot outdoors.

So, this is my comparison of the 2 phones from a subjective pov. Hope you guys like it and feel free to point out any differences or any mistakes that i may have made.

Sony is not gonna waste time and money with mmWave bands for USA when sales are too little. Probably the lowest sales among all markets xperia are sold.

Pro has mmWave only because sony can also sell the devices to companies related to media.

Should even exit USA, since 99,9999% get phones at carriers. There is zero chance sony makes deals with any in USA again after the whole thing with verizon in 2015.

All three seem really good. I wouldn't complain about any of them.

Photos are good but videos look oversharpened to me. This makes me really sad, if I want I can add sharpness later but if it's already added there is no way to remove it :(
