Anonymous, 23 Apr 2019Joled is secured and supported financially by Japanese Govt. Even though it's made huge losses... moreWell of course it is. Chinese and Korean biggest tech companies grew in same way, supoorted by the goverment.
Dont you worry about JOLED, its bright, up until now they produced oleds on a testing line only, second gen line and mass production with high cost effective yield coming in 2020, and with customers like Sony and other waiting in the line...

A smart Shooter, 23 Apr 2019I have experience some phones from my friend and parents that's enough, not need just like you... moreI change phones every two years now, to make sure i can get for the latest tech, experiencing myself (no problem with money). And no, this is not an advertising, this is an opinion express that came from a Sony fan, and i'm still a fan of Sony. But i cant deny their weakness on camera department, which is Sony itself admit it. As stated numerous on previous reply, i even said Huawei phones got its weakness, but overall its the better one. The one that denying is you, explanation that lacks knowledge in terms of a photography world.
And i gave opinion about previous Xperia, not the Xperia 1, which hopefully finally can competes with others. Back in days, i contribute a lot on Sony rom regarding theming, kernel, cameras on XDA. Still have hopes for Sony eventhough they stop selling in my country. While i'm using Huawei Mate 20 now, this are the looks of my phone - http://imgur.com/gallery/BQ2D62B

Even though it's made huge losses due to serious market changes and competition, it will survive for now as it has has new investors. But without doubt, the future of Joled is still unsure.

Huawei is phone is the best for low light, zoom, stability, macro, bokeh etc. Thats all make it one of the best camera phone. But for color accuracy and daylight photo it isnt. Please, accept it, its the fact..

You are 'introduce' the brand at Sony thread and more you discredit Sony phone at the same time. The camera comparison is quite clear, P30 pro mess up on color algorithm.

Except JOLED is not a JDI division.
JDI has a minority of stock in JOLED, maybe none now as them themselves got into financial problems, and japan investment group INCJ is the main owner of JOLED, includin minor stock holders like Sony and some other japanese.

Dude, u need to sharpen up your knowledge about photography. Go for more professional reviewer (Mrwhosetheboss is just ok), own another branded phone to compare with in real life, dont just rely on not so credible & lame youtube comparison. Heard that u using Z2. I own that phone 4 years ago, before switching to Z5. I even root & even put Cyberian mod on that device (if u know what i mean).
Guess what? After Z5 i switch to Honor 8 Pro. Honor 8 Pro camera trash both Z5 & Z2 without any enhancement done & without root (i dont feel the need anymore as its so good) by left really far behind, along with other aspects for the price. Give u some advice, try switch another brand phone (flagship), then u'll know how bad camera algorithm on previous Xperia is. I'm happy now with Mate 20, gonna use it for next 2 years until Mate 40 arrive. Unless Sony makes me interested again.

XZ3 daylight is better than Huawei, it has more accurate color unlike Huawei bring the world only for social media.

Thats a difference in white balance takes. S10 & Iphone more into warmer side, P30 on the colder side on that scene. Theres nothing wrong with that, are u serious rite now? And u can not confirm the exact color on that gold/yellow text, as u are not in that scene. If the reviewer says so, then thats a different story. (What i hear are the reviewer praise how details P30 image looks on 7:11).
U really dive dig to Huawei's weakness lol & ignore its goodness on that review lol. XZ3 cant even achieve what P30 could do, why not talking about that?

Co... moreHuawei can't even detect gold colors in the image still photo, what they have is faded yellow color as you can refer to duration 7:11, the signage has golden word but Huawei can't detect it and only show the whitening yellow, I know it has RYYB sensor, why don't shot the realistic color I mean is golden color not yellow color and hey this is a daylight photography it show Huawei well night shot but lack of on restore the true to real life color even the daylight just failed. Well you can wait Huawei give you the software update, maybe no or whatever, but why it isn't a finalised version and giving such betas and rush to launch into the market?

Color reproduction on image also natural & close to real life. On video recording, yes, its produce reddish skin tones on people, perhaps because of the first RYYB sensor implementation on the market. Your video link are just out right after P30 launch, with pre-released software. No worries, an update already fix the color reproduction, looks natural & true to life now. - https://youtu.be/xQmScWWABiw
Video comparison like this i like to see, lots of professional explanation from MrWhoseTheBoss. From that comparison, P30 is the top spot for me, especially low lights, no one ever comes close (not even Pixel's Night Sight). P30 Pro auto mod alone are excellent on low lights. Its the Camera Phone to beat as of now. Lets see how Xperia 1 holds up.

Let's see daylight camera comparison, Huawei shift the color looks tragedy as we can't see the red people in this world but Huawei show their ability on changing colors.

U said Huawei wipe off details for the sake of noise free pics looks unnatural, for me, no noise reduction & oversharpen pictures looks unnatural as well, just like XZ3. Last time i remember, i dont see any grainy noise on each object i saw on real life, lots of color noise also dont persist on real life objects, so for me it unnatural as well. Its a 2 kind of situation, Mate wipe off a bit details to make pics noise free, XZ3 retain details by minimal noise reduction but crush it with excessive oversharpening. No two words about it, each with their own way camera algorithm as both using small camera sensor, unlike DSLR.
But in the end, i choose Mate 20 camera algorithm way over XZ3 does. I dont pixel peep image everytime pics captured (details are still flagship grade), i got better dynamic range, better highlights preservation, a lot better low light images, better bokeh effects, can do super macro, has ultra wide angle to capture urban city scene, RAW format, Leica 'smooth' & 'vivid' color option that i love it very much. Now Xperia 1 understands how to competes with others, hence the triple camera implementation. And by my own experience, i stand by my point.

Then it would be a real winner as everything else appears good on paper so far. Lets wait for it to be actually released for final opinions.

Yes, everything should improve, maybe the future of smartphone screen is indeed 10bit HDR. But s 4K is too much for smartphone, but this phone has 1644x3840 not so far from 2K not 4K like on XZ premium, so its still ideal.
Bigger battery and faster charging, better camera are more important than better screen.
