Holy crap there's a ton of comments on the comment section, just like any other Sony related articles lmao.
Why is LetsGoDigital assuming that it will come with a centred hole punch display though? It might feature one on the left/right corner or even a pop-up camera.
Anonymous, 24 Dec 2019Finally Sony gave up on no cut out, notch display. Sad to see everyone following same design.They did not. This is a user interface patent it has nothing to do with a hardware. Phone in drawings is X10 turned backwards.
Why do they keep making them in this shape, it's incredibly uncomfortable !
BliTTzZ, 24 Dec 2019So that is all you can say in return?
That explains everything. No more wasted time, bye.You clearly have no experience taking a vid with this device, so what did you expect? :D
It's always nice to battle paper-"I have no issue" owner, same goes for my iPad Pro, that mysteriously is not flawless ... therefor I do not own the device and have even no money to buy it :D

-Screen resolution is downgraded to 1080p, plus dimmer panel compared to Xperia 1.
-Smaller battery.
-Screen size reduced to 6.1 inches.

Anonymous, 23 Dec 2019Youre the ill informed. Sony only just started finally even attempting again.Nope. You don't use current Sony phones so you don't know anything about them. Reading reviews will only get you half of the story. I'm not gonna go back and forth with you but unless you've used Sony with OLED there is no way to know that XZ3, X1 and X5 don't exhibit PWM/flickering at low brightness unlike Samsung S9/S10 and Apple X/XS. Both of these require you to turn brightness higher in order to avoid PWM.

To those who suggest camera pop up:
When Sony made a camera pop up, then IP65/68 will be disappeared. You made underwater photographers go switch to water-resistant phones. It's not always a good solution for underwater.
Anonymous, 24 Dec 2019Xperia 1 is a better competitor to S/note and Huawei P/M series.
Xperia 5 is not upto the mark How it's not up to the mark? Their only difference is lack of DRAM on Xperia 5 (which means no 1080p@960fps slow-mo) and no anti-distortion electronic shutter feature.
The rest of the hardware is the same.
Fearghast, 24 Dec 2019Eye autofocus does not even work for video in-doors ... you get constant refocusing.
I really... moreI have checked Xperia 5 user guide, checked my device myself and found that eye autofocus is available only for the main camera while shooting photos.
For videos, selfies and wide angle it is not available.
If you don't have a possibility to make live comparison between different devices, then go and check GSMarena photo/video comparison and you will see, that new Xperias are on the same level with other flagships. In some areas better, in some areas worse.
Plus I wasn't lazy and checked Xperia 5 XDA section on their forums.
First of all there are too few replies. Less than 50 in all topics.
Secondly FPS issues you are talking about were reported only by one guy, who also added that the same Google movie service works totally fine on this Xperia 1 (he has both phones). There are many you say?
So I can conclude from all this that you either don't have the device and simply trolling, or you are completely clueless of how your smartphone works.
Makimaki, 24 Dec 2019If we want notch less screen then motorized pop up is only good solution. Dont know why punch ... moreThen you made the phone with IP65/68 less waterproof. Replacing front camera with pop up is a bad idea to make your phone damaged by water inside, you just made people that rely on water-resistant scared, when it comes to underwater screenshot
BliTTzZ, 24 Dec 2019It really looks like we use different phones. I was in the store before ordering the phone and... moreXperia 1 is a better competitor to S/note and Huawei P/M series.
Xperia 5 is not upto the mark

rally funny (and disturbing....) is how a wild gossip (position of the hole, if one will exist, bezels or no bezels, etc...) about a phone that might be, or not, produced by (upon fans of different flavors... :) ) a second rate manufacturer becomes a topic of heat debate. anyhow, is heart worming and tear jerking the concern for the fate of sony as a dying smartphone manufacturer...
60E[z), 24 Dec 2019Ahh.. well... Mr heatp1pe, you often said you hate punchhole/notch right? Then.. what will u ... moreNope, it doesn't change my mind, I won't choose the phone with a punch hole, a minimal bezel is fine, I prefer a tiny bezel that I can pinch/grip on it rather than the bezel-less. I don't like always grip the side frame it is slim/narrow to grip. A tiny bezel still can have proper grip and proper display unlike those hole and notch occupy/share the notification areas, it just like a bite of an Apple.
i just don't like it... to be honest... i always prefer a bezel over a punched hole, even the bezels of z5 premium is ok for me... that's just me anyway...
Only with 4000 mAh battery and without 21:9 ratio.
I don't know whether this is true or not but I found few mistakes in the photo (original patent photo) ,
1. Date of the phone says 25th February, Monday but actually 25th February is Tuesday.
2. Some of the apps have a different icons like camera and music.
3. For multitasking window they have chosen the email app but recently Sony have discontinue the email app specially for the new phones.
