AlexP, 17 Apr 2020Very good explanation, even kid will understand. I don't why trolls can't
I wish other brands... moreYes, I agree. I wish companies can add software charging speed switches.
Right now the only way to limit charging speed is by using a weaker charger. (such as 18w)
Once software switches are part on the android system, I would love to have the capability to Ultra fast charge. Its nice when you need it. But most of the time I don't need it (I charge the phone before I sleep all the time) My Xperia 1 has over 45-65% battery left by the time I go to bed everyday.

SLSAHXOHVOMVN, 17 Apr 2020Lol Sony using old school fast charging technology. It's nowhere close to being a pioneer in f... moreDon't say anything if you don't know what what you're talking about.
Fast charge and ultra fast charging has been around for over a decade.
(also remember, in the late 90s, early 2000s, Sony manufactured Li-ion batteries. Made in Japan in fact) Sony knows more about Li-ion than all those Chinese brands. Even Apple has poor battery management.
Its the company's decision to determine whether its better to sacrifice battery longevity over battery performance (charging and discharging)
Also YOU don't know nothing about Li-ion battery chemistry. If you know the specific chemistry, then tell me. They are just using a GENERIC high discharge Lithium Polymer. You wont ever find LiFePo4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate) in a cellphone. (Prismatic version encased in plastic bricks) (its my favorite Li-ion chemistry) 1500+ cycles, low internal resistance, and High discharge rates.
Bigger capacity doesn't mean less degradation. Its Proportional to the capacity.
Sony limited the charge rate to 1C to minimize degradation. So even if the other phones used a better chemistry claiming it can take more cycles. It wont make a difference if it degrades at a higher rate. Ultra fast charging is just going to KILL the battery.
@SLSAHXOHVOMVN Read this and tell me what you think.

Other companies don't care about longevity. They just want you to buy a new phone ASAP.

Tann Hauser, 17 Apr 2020Yes, rightsided on top bezel.
Xperia 1 has notif.LED, quote gsmarena review: The top black strip contains the earpiece, which also doubles as a speaker. On its left Sony has placed all other essentials - the well-hidden tri-color (R,G,W) notification LED, a bunch of sensors, and the 8MP selfie camera.
But it is too early to confirm for Xperia 1 mark 2 I looked google, sony website, and else. No word for now. It is logical to have it kept from xperia 1, but untill I see a video photo or sony website or review confirming I don't believe 100%

Telephone, 16 Apr 2020What about Dual band GPS makes it worth it. How do you personally use it? I'm asking becaus... moreIf I pay 1200 eur I need top features. I might not need it and use it, but when 900$ oneplus 8 pro has dual gps, I want 1400$ xperia 1 mark 2 to has it as well. Or it is too much asking for 500 extra ? You got me now ?

Telephone, 16 Apr 2020I've mentioned before about charging rates before under the name BatteryRights.
If Sony takes... moreVery good explanation, even kid will understand. I don't why trolls can't
I wish other brands will have to choose the charging speed on the phones
In my opinion 18w-30w it's perfect spot, but not faster than that

If Sony takes... moreLol Sony using old school fast charging technology. It's nowhere close to being a pioneer in fast charging tech. Soon they'll adopt the same tech as Chinese brands and give it some fancy name and you guys will accept it as gospel.
Plus batteries used by Chinese manufacturers also have certain added tweaks.
They also give more cycles compared to Sony and also are available in bigger capacity.
So Sony phones might maximum give you 400 charge cycles before degradation kicks in while Xiaomi is giving much superior 600-800 charge cycles with bigger capacity.
So Sony gets charged more times and degrades faster over a period of time compared to Chinese brands.

Vineet Reddy, 16 Apr 2020I can assure you that the SONY battery will last longer than any other brand without any notic... moreNo such evidence to support your claims.
Ppl using OnePlus, Huawei and other brands with above 30-40W charging for more than 2 years now. They did not suffer more battery degradation than others with weak 18W fast charging. Sony is simply behind the curve.

Vineet Reddy, 13 Apr 2020For all the people who are trying hard to find shortcomings or trying to show down SONY. Here ... moreon the contrary...it is a very bad idea to include 100-150 earbuds in the package of xperia 1 ii .
I much rather use my own earbuds and that Sony reduces its price.

Nick.B, 16 Apr 2020If s20ultra has dual, xperia 1 II should as well? That's important for me. I live in high popu... moreIf you read some reviews on capabilities of the xperia 1 for gps, it was quite accurate (within 4 meters in buildings) and almost as accurate as an expensive garmin handheld. As for the xperia 1ii, I cant confirm it has this, but I wouldnt go by gsma specs. Try other reviewers that go more in depth with gps capabilities.

Maybe they dont promote the feature and just implement it

Every company studies the market and makes its own decisions. Sony can add everything but the price will go up. Samsung S20 can have 4k but the price will go up. Chinese phones can be made with better materials but again the price will go up. Sony has probably decided on the price they estimate people will pay and added specifications acordingly. They have decided on these specifications and a maximum price of 1200€. That is that double GPS was ignored so that 5g modem could be incorporated perhaps

That's important for me. I live in high population city with a lot of concrete around me. Also when travelling is also better with dual one. Def there is difference wherever you use it.
Def thinking of p40pro+ or xpaeria 1 II, p40pro+ for shooting, or xperia for overall performer+ amazing design and amazing screen. Both better than p40pro+. Will be hard to choice.

Because it is Sony!

It's n... moreIt is partly Qualcomm reason I see a lot of top Qualcom powered phones with single gps. Btw in all gps tests huawei are winners or top with Oneplus, which looks like have extra gps chip on their qualcomm devices or pay more to qualcomm so they add it.
S20 ultra has no dual gps, as a lot other very expensive phones. For God sake honor 30 pro+ has 98% of p40pro specs, costs 650eur, and has dual gps, most 5G bands, and so on. Phone World must seriously thing of Huawei more seriously
