One thing I really love about XPERIA is that their distinctive design. They stick with their own and not following those curved screen, punch hole and notch. Smartphone nowadays are so similar to each other, confusing which is which. Also, the very rounded corners doesn't look nice for me, it's useless. XPERIA 1 ii is just perfect for me, plus many additional new features that other brands don't have. HS Technology and wind filter. Sony is known for its many world's firsts innovations

[@rafaeldwelldossantos797]

You are right..!!👍👍 a curved screen on a phone is without a doubt..a bs tech!

[@Y0mash]

You're absolutely right. Also, I don't know why so many people complain about some bezels, even if they are pretty small.. I mean, the previous Xperia phones still have very much display on the front side. I also appreciate there design and the fact, that they don't copy someone like everyone else is doing right now on the market.

[@ThePaulKM]

@Ahmd Bin Arif what?

[@ThePaulKM]

@Ahmd Bin Arif I have plenty of options. How does choosing Samsung eliminate other potential options? If I chose Sony, would the same be true? I chose my Samsung Note 9 because at the time it best suited my needs. If Sony were to release a phone that would suit my needs, I would purchase their phone. Sony however seems to be going in a different direction that does not catoe to my needs, but that is just fine. That's the beauty of choice and competition in the market. A Sony doesn't suit my needs, but it might yours. Just like a Samsung might not suit your needs, but it does mine.

[@danialasyraf9437]

@@ThePaulKM yes. I agree. I use Samsung to before, plus, I've used Xiaomi, Blackberry, and Samsung, now I'm on Sony. Not because it's the best, but it's just my preference due to it's manual camera capability when taking still photo, EIS on video recording, dual front facing speaker, well optamize software, and brilliant battery quality over long term use. To be clear, I use Sony Xperia XZ1, old, but powerful until now. I use it since 2018, but in 2019, I bought Galaxy Note 8 and gave this XZ1 to my brother just to experience Galaxy Note 8. Yes Note 8 is so good for productive because it's easy to do work on phone screen with it's pen. I used it a lot to edit photos and videos on it. Also it comes in handy when I want to use Adobe Acrobat. I use that phone because I don't have laptop or PC at the time. Super useful for me. But now I have a laptop, so I decided to change it back to my XZ1 and gave that Note 8 to my brother. Do I felt like there's no option, no. Not at all. Android is android, it's way easy to change to other android device. Plus, Android has so many options when it comes to self preference. SONY and LG is good for professional video maker. Samsung and Google is good for productivity, OnePlus is good for heavy user, and many more. So yeah, options? Tons of them out there.

That bezel less waterfall display galaxy is horrible in terms of ergonomics.

pre-ordered Sony Xperia 1 II with a pair of Sony WH-1000XM3, was time to upgrade from my 6 year old sony xperia z2 can't wait! Problem is most of these features will be overlooked by "regular" phone reviewers. Then when samsung or iphone copies it it's suddenly a revolution. here are some features that stands out: - 4k,hdr,oled,643ppi density - the highest by a huge margin,1B colors screen, 60hz tho.. with fake 90hz, -21:9 ratio -H.S power control is a really good feature, you can cap your battery %, H.S. power control. When enabled, if you're gaming and the phone is plugged in the charger, it won't actually charge the battery but will only meet your current power consumption. The idea is to limit heat generation (H.S. stands for Heat Suppression) and in turn battery degradation. -you can take pictures in 20fps! -dedicated camera shutter key -3.5mm headphone jack -dual stereo speakers with dolby atmos - 360 Reality Audio -game enhancer if you care about that -almost stock android UI, with no bloatware, guaranteed stable and good software -cinema pro app and photo app with mirrorless camera features. the best camera apps you can get. -Zeiss optics -the telephoto lens has the full-frame equivalency of a 70mm lens, meaning it's actually a telephoto lens - Eye AF which is an autofocus tool borrowed from the $3,500 Sony A9 camera. Eye AF can identify a face in your frame and then lock in on your subject's eye, work on animals too these are some of the features that stands out and if you pre-order the phone you get a pair of Sony WH-1000XM3 or WF-1000XM3 included ! This phone looks like a complete package only cons are front camera aren't that great, 60hz with fake 90hz and ofc its very expensive.

They also didn't elaborate on the heat suppression feature. When turned on, the battery won't be utilized, therefore it won't heat up. All you gotta do is plug the phone in an outlet and use it like a laptop plugged in without the battery. Through this, the phone can be used for prolonged gaming, film recording, rendering, etc. This phone basically has everything tbh. In a few months or so, we'll see these features in other brands and Sony won't be given credit as usual

Note 20+ will nothing be too surprising. Reliable leaksters are already showing minor changes in the internals of the phone, heck they're even dropping the periscope lens of the S20 Ultra for a traditional telephoto camera on the upcoming Notes. Just the fact that it has a screen cutout alone makes it inferior to this Xperia 1 II. Multimedia is one of the most performed task in a smartphone, and having a cutout simply ruins the point of a full-screen design purpose.

[@1ce2berg]

Honestly I was going to get this phone, but the lack of a higher refresh rate might make me go for the note 20+ (I got to used to the higher refresh rate and 3D FaceID with my Pixel 4xl - the two main reason I got it in the first place vs the note 10+). But since I will keep it I might just get the Sony. Waiting for note 20+ to be released to make a final decision. 🤞🏽

But this phone is absolutely brilliant in my opinion. Like, everything they've done wrong in the past is fixed now. They are unique, follow the trend somehow but still make it their own way without copying all the other brands, as everyone else is doing on the market right now. Also, this phone is a real alternative compared to all the other phones on the market, cause it makes so many things different and has some really cool features no one else has (talking about the flagship phones). Like a separate camera button, a headphone jack, 21:9 aspect ratio, 4k display, fingerprint sensor included into the power button, no notch, punch hole or anything like that and so on.. Seriously. Give that phone a chance and don't stuck with any brand.

The answer to question starting 9:50 is AUTO FOCUS performance. I'm a bit disappointed at this review for not considering testing the phone for what it claims to have 20 frames per second with Auto focus technology. In addition to image quality, AF accuracy does matter a lot to get the most out of your images. It lets you shoot moving objects all sharply focused and further gives you the tools to expand your creativity with every capture such as candid shots and freezing a moment of time during a high speed capture in all its glory.
