Ali Bashir, 01 Jun 2019Nice review, wait what, p30 still the king? Have you read carefully the article, it says altho... moreYes, both P30 Pro & Mate 20 Pro is still the low light kings in terms of photography for me. If the reviewer describe Xperia 1 low lights is 'what our eyes see', than thats it, its limited. Both P30 & Mate 20 can easily get the 'what our eyes see' as well by using Pro mode. But Xperia 1 cant achieve what P30 Pro capabilities did (excellent dynamic range, highlights preservation, great contrast & minimal color degradation). U cant just fight the hardware goodies on Huawei.
Now i dont know how HDR mode on Xperia 1 results, but previous Xperia eventhough with HDR turned on in low lights, still cant catch up with the competition. I prefer the 'dramatic' & 'street style' low light photography than the 'natural' Xperia 1 provided.
The way photographers winning an award, making ads, put photos on magazine using DSLR regarding low light pics are rarely just by using 'natural' images. Its been always edited to make it looks 'dramatic', 'brighten up' (without sacrificing quality), 'stylized' to become more appealing & 'tells a story'. Thats what Huawei's Leica camera intended at the first place.
To each his own. I prefer low lights on Huawei phone & as of now no other brands made me interested.

Anonymous, 03 Jun 2019Xperia 1 has screen from Samsung.
Xperia 1 uses UFS, whick means it was made by Samsung. Sa... moreCorrect. The Oled screen is from Samsung.
Although, I thought only the 48mp camera was a Samsung Isocell.
Do you have a link for the 3 Samsung Isocell cameras used in Xperia1 ?

Anonymous, 02 Jun 2019I assume that it has UFS... right..?Sony uses UFS since XZ Premium. For flagships, of course.
Probably 2.1, since there were units at MWC and ufs 3.0 was not available yet.

At least it is not locked by kernel like all X series.

Xperia 1 uses UFS, whick means it was made by Samsung. Samsung is also the biggest supplier of RAM memory for cellphones.
Xperia 1 has 3 out of 4 cameras using isocell. Only main cam is exmor.

Same as 4k screen res only automaticaly activates if content is actualy 4k.
Both neat smart screen tech, that saves battery resources, and activates screen enhancements only when needed.
No need for options menus and toggles like other.

The LCD can be from JDi, LG or Sharp. But all have to do exactly same screen. And add the Quantum dots for wider gamut.
XZ3 has Oled from LG, 1 has oled from Samsung.

The game enhancer concentrates all the games in one place. Play without interruption. Block the notification and choose to extend the battery usage mode to enjoy the game for a long time, or select the performance priority mode to boost the GPU and CPU. The game can be displayed at a frame rate of 120 Hz.

But Sony advertises it's name at major International tennis, golf, soccer games..e.g. Winbeleton, US masters, etc...Unfortunately, it's all too late for Sony. The competition has caught up and surpassed Sony.

I live in a capital city, and i never see any advertisement about xperia.
And there is a very very big bright screen placed on a building's wall near my office. I only see samsung ads played in the screen.
