AlexP, 01 May 2020Who knows why GSMarena changed this to
"OLED capacitive touchscreen, 1B colors"so is it 16m or 1b?One of the reasons why I feel sometimes these sites are biased are things like this. Xperia 1 is written as 16M colours with 10-Bit and Xperia 1 II 10bit with 1B colours.
The thing is 10-bit in definition itself means 1B colours. 1024RedX1024BlueX1024Green shades. 8-bit+FRC or true 10-bit, it doesnt matter. You will be able to see 1Billion colours. I clearly explained how 8bit+FRC works like 10bit in other comment below. I'm pasting it again for you.
"Unfortunately the level of control of the polarizing crystals isn't quite enough to give 1024 orientations between 0 and 90 degrees. So panels use FRC to create in-between shades.. (Older panels couldn't even do 256 orientations., leading to 6-bit + FRC) . Using 8bit + FRC as an example, you want to produce 1024 shades but the panel can only orient the crystals to produce 256 shades. e.g. Shade 0, shade 4, shade 8, etc. If the pixel is supposed to display shade 401, but the panel can only produce 400 and 404, what you do is rapidly shift the pixel between 400 and 404.
You show 400 75% of the time, and 404 25% of the time (hence the F in FRC - frequency). This produces the illusion of the pixel showing shade 401. If it were showing shade 400 and 404 50% of the time, it'd produce the illusion of shade 402. If it were showing shade 400 25% of the time and 404 75% of the time, that would be shade 403.
Since the vast majority of images and movies available are encoded with 8-bit color, they would display the same on both monitors. Unless you're working with photos or video shot with 10-bit or higher color depth, there really isn't any reason to prefer true 10-bit over 8-bit + FRC. And even then most people would be hard-pressed to see the difference."

AlexP, 01 May 2020Who knows why GSMarena changed this to "OLED capacitive touchscreen, 1B colors"so is it 16m or 1b?It have 8-bit + 2-bit smoothing (10-bit) and its the same as 10-bit cuz it has 10-bit drive. That means 10-bit gradation.

Good thing is that you can get Android 10 version APK and sideload it. You might need to sign it first.

Anonymous, 01 May 2020This is what I found:
Sony’s Album app will drop support for the ‘Backup – Powered by Amazon’... moreL4 is cheaper than L3 was at launch.
So I suspect 10 ii wont cost more than 10.
About 1 ii, it is $1200 in Japan.
Domestic xperia has always been more expensive then oversea model.

Sony’s Album app will drop support for the ‘Backup – Powered by Amazon’ feature on 31 March 2020. A new update to the Album app will see this feature removed at the time. Even if you don’t update the app, the Amazon Backup feature will still not work, you will simply get an error message.
So it would appear that the album app remains, but without the Amazon backup option

Radical Edward, 01 May 2020So, the Spanish twitter of Xperia said we can have it later this month(April) but now it's May... moreThe next day they again gave clarification that it is not correct information.
Also I think 10 II is releasing in Taiwan next week and X1 II by end of May in Japan

Vasra, 30 Apr 2020Sure. I have sony TVs, Sony headphones, Sony camers. But the crap in their smarphones is MO... moreXperia's flagship always have had the latest SoC's. Unlike Samsung who uses exynos in some regions, Sony is fair to all giving the latest and greatest offerings from Qualcomm. Also Sony's ram management is godly like iphone's, with 6 GB of RAM Sony was able to wreck OP 7t Pro Mclaren and Note 10+'s 12 GB UFS 3.0, even beat the iPhone. You should know what you're talking about. And as far as camera goes, Sony's camera is manually controlled, only if you know how to use them.
