Anonymous, 29 Sep 2020So much hype by Sony fans yet not one Sony Xperia 1 II user can confirm this. Lol https://www.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-10-ii-gets-official-support-for-bootloader-unlocking/
.
Only Xperia 10 II has been unlocked so far. Xperia 1 II hasn't been officially added for now. Done, short, solid, clear.

The Albion, 28 Sep 2020What's the big deal re wireless charging ?The 'big deal' is that it's a big deal, as in it's a convenience feature that a premium smartphone is expected to have in 2020! Why would Sony shoot themselves in foot by omitting a feature like that is beyond me, especially since they, at long last, produced a phone that's a complete package otherwise.

Stop making baseless statements.s20 has a "curved display" but less curved than the previous generations... i think they are "flattening the curve"... it doesnt take much effort the read gsmarena reviews before you tell others that they have "baseless claims"... do verify the "basis"

Inclusion of wireless charging doesn't mean it'll be bulkier. It just means Sony wasn't willing to overhaul the blueprint of the 1st gen. Xperia 5 which this is based on.
Once you switch to wireless charging it's hard to switch back, so I'm fairly bummed out.

If that's true then your logic will apply every single phone camera that uses EIS, which includes pretty much all high end phones released in a past few years. The fact still remains that you still get enough resolution for 4K recording when zoomed in 2x on S20's 64MP sensor (which I've been claiming for this whole time), even if its per-pixel detail level isn't as sharp as the resolution suggests due to what you just described.
"Check on your computer the quality of both. Not the same."
Yeah, because neither of my S10 and P30 have a regular Bayer 64MP sensor.

Android.Master, 29 Sep 2020I think one can customize this button via root. Does Sony allow bootloader unlocking? Judging from their previous phones, Sony is one of the manufacturers have unlocked bootloader out of the box. I'm not sure about the newer models though. Probably someone from the XDA forum will tell.
I admire gsmarena team when it comes to tech reviewer & journalist. I read your news & reviews since 13 years ago. You guys are the best.

Wait a minute..... Is there even a usable Night mode for the cameras? The low lights shots are so bad in 2020!

I bet yours has lost already more than 400mAh.
Software slows down on purpose. Apple does it. Samsung does it too.
If in 30 min you can fill 2000mAh, so it was supposed to finish in 60 min. But takes longer because it is programmed to.
Does your unit still have the tool that detects antutu to increase the score? If yes, do not uninstall.
