Android.Master, 17 Sep 2020Despite all that therotical garbage about sensor requiring less time, images are still behind ... moreBetter than the plastic scene photos from OP8 Pro/Find X2 Pro.
Despite having much smaller sensor.
Almost 50% smaller.
Not even the Xperia C I had (low end from 2013) turns world into plastic ..

Shanti Dope, 17 Sep 2020Uhmm, that's exactly what I'm pointing out lol.

They need to improve on that.

verden.kma, 17 Sep 2020€900 ≠ $950.
€900 = $1062!
The same smartphone will be roughly $100 more expensive for Euro... moretry this:
950 usd x 1.2 = 1140 usd
1140 usd = app 965 eur
you see, the VAT (tax on added value) in eu is app 20%, (different for country to country, 16% to 22%) hence the 950 x 1.2...., vs (usually) 0% in usa for on-line commerce.
actually, the phones price correspondence usd to eur is usually 1: 1.

Remote control, you say? At least it's not a curvy candy bar that's so slippery and with unnecessary curved screen that distorts the contents to the side. From practicality standpoint, this is already miles better than anything else.

Davy Jones, 17 Sep 2020And the phone of the year award goes to Xperia 5 iiDon't think it can win phone of the year award.
But it is a great offering in terms of a compact smartphone despite the lack of ultra fast charging.
Way better than iPhone SE 2020 & Pixel series if one is looking for a compact phone. Definitely a contender for compact smartphone of the year.

ItsNick, 17 Sep 2020Why doesn't Sony use their popular 48, 64 mp sensors that they sell proudly to other OEMs... moreSensors capture light and turn it into info.
Each sensor does this task at different speed.
Lower MP count increases the speed this task is done.
This is how phone can do 20fps burst adjusting focus and exposure 3x per frame.
This would be impossible with 48, 64 or 108MP.
For example the HM1 of S20 Ultra. At 12MP mode, sensor needs 32ms to read all data captured as light. While at 108MP, it needs 100ms.
The imx557 of Xperia needs 10ms to do same.
It is the reason sports cameras are 20 or 24MP, while other cameras use 40, 60 or more.
But why sports cameras do same with more resolution than this phone? Because Full Frame sensors are much stronger. The imx310 used by Alpha 9 is also used by Sony Venice videocameras (used by Sony Pictures).
