Where did you find it? I already have a long screenshot on my 5 III on A12. Maybe it's an old changelog for A12 update?
searching "Sony 61.1.A.4.78" on google. Maybe they copied the old changelog even for this one. dunno.
索尼 Xperia 1III / 5III 国行近日逐步推送安卓 12 系统更新：新增长截图等功能 - IT之家
据 @索尼-Xperia 官微消息，Xperia 1III, Xperia 5III 的安卓 12 系统软件将于近日逐步开始推送，版本号为 61.1.A.4.78，新增长截屏、通话录音等功能
This seems to be the original source. If I managed to translate correctly, one comment mentioned improved battery life. Looking forward to that, , the battery life on my 5 III is far from decent.
I got the update on my phone the only thing that seems to be changed is that it include the latest March security patch and I don't know if PS5 controller support was in android 12 from the beginning or not but now the controller paring menu has been changed and it now include PS5 controller as well.
The UI still doesn't has full android 12 theming support as well as the inconsistency in Xperia launcher and the annoying gap on the top right corner is still present.
PS does anyone know how to adjust the gap in the top right corner or disable the permission indicator all together?

Call recording is not legal in various country from what i remember and latest privacy rules enforced this really hard, then maybe it was removed from some fw in various zones.I'm using XQ-BC72 version 61.1.A.2.211 but it doesn't have call recording
What is move and photo master apps?

The Google Photos app has received updates, but unfortunately it has not been resolved yet.
US model updates are running months behind. I'm starting to think that this phone has serious bugs and Sony would rather that this model fade from memory ASAP. Everyone complains that YouTube pauses and unpauses itself. Many phones rebooted constantly after enabling fingerprints with the original firmware. I don't think it ends there.
I'm getting weird touchscreen and fingerprint reader behavior in several apps. OsmAnd~ causes the phone to constantly unlock itself. The phone unlocks itself when the fingerprint reader is bumped at least twice a day. The lock screen is constantly getting stuck on despite all my efforts to adjust settings to keep it off. Video playback causes random screen touches. The quick settings tiles sometimes don't work or self-trigger if they're opened while the phone is locked. The screen wake, notification sound, LED flash, and the actual notification are so out of sync that I don't know what's going on. There's also the mystery of SA 5G being disabled for all US bands on the US model.
Overall the phone is a mess.
