Xperia 1 ii HS Power Control: Plug in, but DON'T Charge Your Phone!

Problem is most of these features will be overlooked by "regular" phone reviewers. Then when samsung copies it it's suddenly a revolution.

[@troy5568]

The thing is that those reviewers all want the feature in their phones, but not on a Sony phone, rather to a Samsung or Apple phone instead. They only appreciate a neat and useful feature once it gets available on a mainstream flagship device, but when Sony does the same thing, they'd be hatin' to hell as to how they are trying to replicate their beloved Samsung or Apple.

This could actually potentially help Sony to get back to top popularity in smartphones as they get more and more exposed to the mainstream media LOL. Samsung also began by having so many haters against their phones before becoming one of the biggest phone manufacturers in the world, and Chinese companies were receiving a lot of criticisms before they started on a roll in success in their business.

[@Superknullisch]

Read my comment about it though.. it's not what Juan describe it as. Also the "charging over night feature" does almost nothing. Because it doesn't charge the phone any slower than usual, which most tech reviewers claim, and you can only choose 90 % as the lower limit. So a slight improvement I guess, but only slight. Coz you have to remember that if you forget to unplug the charging cable when the by you pre-set timer reaches zero, i.e. the time you set it to turn of this feature, your phone will start charging again and soon reach those 100 %. So in short, SONY fucked this potentially really great feature up big time!! Sorry to break it to you, but I just don't want yet another person to be as disappointed as I was when I discovered this..😔 I like the phone otherwise a lot. I do have one or two more grapes with it thus far. But I haven't got to use it properly yet, so can't say to much about all the other stuff. Hopefully they can update this feature as soon as possible. I will write them an e-mail about it. Not that I think they will take any actions nor really read it, but hey, at least I tried right!😉 Anyways.. have good day!

In general, Sony has always acted for the protection of the battery. Stamina mode since 2013 (they were one of the first to offer a 2 day charge life), AI learning of your battery usage (only shows results after longer usage), Adaptive charging (the last 10% are charged right before you unplug it) or normal chargers eventhough quick charging was a feature (because quick chargers damage the battery life). That's why bigger batteries were never a thing in the past for Sony. This HS is only a continuity and could prove revolutionary for people who want to be at max usage all the time. Plug in your powerbank with a long cable (from your pocket or backpack) and BAM, enjoy, but preserve your battery. Instead of unloading it and quickcharging it, just keep it stable with less damage tonthe battery.

I didn't realize that the "Transparent CPU monitor" wasn't properly working with SOC's newer than a SD820/821. Though, it still has accurate and live CPU temperature monitoring with SOC's like the SD845 and newer. It also can monitor each individual CPU's temp in a cluster. On another note, the android game MadOut2 brings the Adreno 650 to it's knees. It also has a in-game FPS counter. I had to use x86 Android and a GTX 1050ti which has about 2.5TFLOPS of FP32 compute, just to max this game out. I like trying to find games that have built in frame rate monitors. Though, its not as easy as you would think. So i use a modded GLTools to check framerates. Yes, it's still a supported application and works great with Snapdragon based SOC's. I know "World War Heroes" has a fps counter and can be a task to keep frame rates at or above 60fps, with Ultra settings. My newly modded LG V40 Unlocked i just bought for $250 has its thermal.conf.file modified so the Adreno 630 at 710MHz doesn't thermally throttle. So, none of that famous LG hitch step"N" or Ruben Studda, (in games). Thanks to the guys and a little bit of work done by me over at XDA. That's what it takes to run World War Heroes at 60fps with Ultra or maxed out settings. Some phones with a SD855/+ and Adreno 640 has issues holding 60fps in that game. The LG V40's Adreno 630 is clocked at 710MHz and has 512 ALU's at about 780 GFLOPS peak. Which i can get sustainable with a little thermal file modifications. The Adreno 640 in the SD855 has 50% more ALU's (768 ALU's) but, its not 50% faster. Its GPU is only running at 580MHz but, downclocks even lower after thermals hold it back. The Adreno 640 is rated at about 900 GFLOPS peak. The SD855+'s Adreno 640 is clocked at 675MHz and has over a TFLOP of compute. (1,037GFLOPS at peak). That's just crazy to me that a smartphone can have a Teraflop of (FP32) compute. Though, the Adreno 650 has another 256 ALU's on top of that giving the Adreno 650 in the SD865 1,024 ALU's and about 1200+ GFLOPS of compute, depending on the GPU's clock frequency. Says alot about software and how it can change the phones whole experience. Also frequency scales a lot more than compute units, ALU's, graphics cores, what ever they want to call it.

[@WarisAmirMohammad]

would love to see this feature in custom ROMs if at all possible

[@osheaness]

If you're rooted, look up an app called Battery Charge Limiter for similar functionality

[@MrEman2001]

Man I can't wait to get this phone 😰

[@RirtyDascal]

Man I can't wait to get my hands on a nexdock. I thought about the hp elite x3 dock but I'll wait and get the nexdock when I can. Internet in my area is terrible with no signs of change in sight for the foreseeable future so I'm stuck using att lte combined with mobile Hotspot and a vpn (the VPN seems to prevent data throttling most of the time) for nearly everything. Thanks for the video brotherman Juan!

[@dankpikmingodwashere4158]

Haven't this feature been on laptops for ages now?

[@md_imran_khan]

Yeah.. But it doesn't mean it is available for smartphones.

[@JohanJohancancino]

so what?

[@dankpikmingodwashere4158]

@@md_imran_khan idk I thought it was already on phones aswell

[@troy5568]

Well, Sony's the first to implement this on a smartphone, and it's a really useful thing since phone batteries are easily some of the most abused part of a phone these days, especially with the rise of higher wattage chargers.

[@SonyEnthusiast]

We're talking about Sony Phones, not laptops

[@osheaness]

I hope for everyones' sake Apple and Samsung are paying attention. I almost never charge my battery past 80% or under 30%. I rooted my LG G5 and installed an app that keeps it to 40% to 70% when plugged in

[@gauthamsreekumar1298]

Can u tell me which app was that? Is it greenify?

What's the audio quality via headphones? Does this have a dedicated quad DAC similar to what is found on the LG V60?

[@farishanafiah8461]

No, Sony doesn't put dedicated DAC on their phone. Only LG put it on their flagship phones.

[@beck320]

I would have killed for a feature like that when I used my phone as my main camera for youtube. Will probably pick up this phone eventually looks like it will come in handy for on the go shoots

[@NostalgicMem0ries]

wonder if any other smartphone has this feature? maybe gaming phones alike rog 2 or black shark? s20 or iphone? if anyone did research reply plz

[@SonyEnthusiast]

Only innovative Sony

[@farishanafiah8461]

ASUS did implement a similar feature on ROG Phone 3 and Zenfone 7/7 Pro. Even the current ROG Phone 5 series has that feature as well.

[@farhsa4714]

So this is like using your laptop without your battery but u plugged in charger ??? Smart

Wonder if they update the Video pro app and camera manual mode app on the sony?? Will it be a crown over LG V60 manual mode??

nice quick video,while I always prefer the complete pack this videos talking about X feature are also pretty good and show an interesting part of X device

Is it possible to use Xperia 1 ll as an external monitor with Sony alpha cameras? I mean over hdmi/dp as opposed to WiFi over imaging edge app.

[@flapflapflapflap]

This feature MUST be implemented on ALL phones

[@fernandong9576]

can u do a comparison between the Xperia 1m2 and some professional camera such as a sony a7m3? just wonder how well this phone can replace light work use.

[@VoodooMadMike41]

This is huge for Android Auto. My car does it over USB C, and constantly charging can make the phone heat up quite a bit on warm days.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

That's a huge concern! Didn't even think of that!

[@sushimshah2896]

Sony needs to spend more on marketing (since this seems to be their comeback & they're in the right track), otherwise it'll get lost just like every other phone from them. Kinda surprised that gaming phones weren't the ones to bring this feature first (maybe they have but idk of any)

[@mistamaog]

This and the overnight charging feature need to be mandatory features.

[@ssingh5423]

I have Xperia 1. Please tell whether finger print scanner is improved ? Is there auto HDR? Does this phone gets hot while making video calls on Duo?

[@AreFikable]

my bet in next few months or years, some other smartphone company try to copy some of sony new feature

[@manuj1912]

You made a very good point : Sony DONT GET ANY CREDIT FOR ANYTHING NEVER..for example,i saw a samsung spot 2-3 years ago with the slogan : s9 or 10 (i can't remember very good ) with a revolutionary 960 fps camera ... really ??? .. myeee,anyways,cheers from a Sony fan ! Keep up the good work mate .

And especially on something like this. HSPC is an amazing little perk

Phones are as powerful as laptops change my mind. Every phone should have this feature. Looking at you samsung with your battery puffing issues and note 7 calamity. The only argument against this is planned obsalecence which is both unethical and an Apple move. My laptop can do this why cant my phone? Oh, that's right you need me to buy a new one next year. How silly of me. My next phone will be a Sony or an LG. RIP other brands and your short sited money grubbing business practices. Rant over Thanks Juan this was really cool!

[@troy5568]

The only thing we need to do now is boycott their products and switch to a sensible 2020 flagship phone, which is this phone and the LG V60. Imagine the whole world suddenly switching brands from the common Samsung and Apple to the old but gold legends like Sony and LG. They just need to suffer from huge loss of profit and customers to get back to their senses and do something practical and useful with their phones once again.

[@VoloKinProject]

Instead of introducing fast (40w+) charging and bigger batteries Sony is always doing software optimisations and cutting down features like themes and icons to compensate for the poor to average battery life of their flagships.

[@SonyEnthusiast]

Bigger battery plus this HS feature. Wow!

[@adik9554]

Is there some app for other phones can do this feature? My phone heated up when I did gaming while charging

[@MikeDolar1]

Juan, i thought it should have been like for years, i'm surprised only now its starting to be a thing...

This is a killer feature. Why don't they advertise it better is beyond me.

[@kepeter97]

this seems so obvious that I thought this feature was in every piece of electronics since the PSP

[@nlsnmrn]

Apple: Let's get that idea and give it a cool name!! (Got the credit)

[@Superknullisch]

1:25 *WARNING, WARNING!!* this is simply not true.. Sorry everyone including *JUAN*, but this, you need to correct and fast, before more people think that this is the case. I don't know how this feature was implemented on the first Xperia 1, but this time Sony definitely flunked it big time! And I can't for my life understand how the hell they manged to do it. I mean, shouldn't the first thought while designing a feature like this be something like.. hmmm maybe an ON/OFF switch!?!? That can be on even if the phone's display is off?? Yeah that would help a ton if you're using your phone as hotspot for your laptop, but no.. Sony skipped that, and to make the hotspot thing work you have to have the display on all the time, and the only app I found thus far apart from games, that don't turn off the display after awhile is the "clock app" on android, i.e. if you swipe over to the stopwatch portion of it and start it. This is so ridiculously bad and such a failure that I'm just lost for words. And it doesn't stop there I'm afraid.. As I said in the beginning, it's not true that you can add any app. And no it ain't no unknown suspicious apps we're talking here.. Oh no! It's facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and most importantly, KZbin!!! Oh but don't forget, no browser can be added too! Except for one.. and I'm not sure if that is because I selected it as the default browser for my phone or if it is because I just happen to pick duckduckgo. But yeah, the only way of using the H.S mode on YT is through duckduckgo right now. And it's fine but also a bit buggy. So yeah, Sony focked this one up majorly. But you can still use it. You just got to remember that as soon as your display turns of, the H.S. mode is also going to turn off, and so your phone will start charging again.

[@zenithrebel]

I'm sorry I'm dumb but, does this mean that if I plug in the charging cable while I game on the phone, it will be better for the battery (and phone as a whole) because the temperature will stay cool? but my phone battery percentage won't go up because it won't be necessarily charging.. It would just be like for e.g 85% all the way?

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

You got it. By NOT charging the battery, you aren't adding additional heat, and you're not wasting a charge cycle. Using a phone while charging it is a double whammy on that battery.

[@Yong130]

Samsung is copying this feature as we are watching this. SONY ❤
