Nonsense.

Its sensor performance is almost identical to that of the A900,
because it has the same sensor. No need to test that all over again.

You're right. Unlike that one, because there are very significant

In contrast, the differences between the A850 and A900 are relatively
insignificant.

It's good that you are beginning to understand these things.
