Tominson, 18 Mar 2020Nokia 1 also won IF design Awards…hahaha ... IF design awards are almost unknown.
European ... moreAre n't we talking About DESIGN????? IF design Awards are for the most/highest design Awards for Smartphones. No Body cares About Imaging and Sound Awards as design.
Who Says no to Nokia getting a design Award. Also I'm Talking About flagships. Sony has been Winning These flagship design Awards past few years. Not just in product Segment but in new Features like cinematography pro apps etc.. Anyway. This is just a proof that not everyone loves Ugly notches and punchholes. Sony Xperia is sexy and always will be
AnonD-921183, 18 Mar 2020Guess who won IF design Awards?? Also Show me one mobile with 21:9 aspect RatioGuess you should tell that troll that EISA has nothing to do with design awards, its european imaging and sound award association active since 1980ties.
And Sony did pretty good this year there, got some 6 awards, amongst them also for EF eye autofocus innovation, present on Xperias.
IF is International association for best product design award, active since 1950ties.
So pretty much most relevant proffesional product design association in the world.
Anonymous, 18 Mar 2020You forgot Sony's giant bezels for 2020. Xperia looks like a 2016 phone with its giant bezels.This bezel are very tiny, it is 100 times better than notch or punchole that block in front of your beautiful screen. Tiny bezel is still better than bezel-less because people can grasp nice with fingers unlike bezelless are force you to grasp only the side frame! If they want making bezel-less please make it thicker to grasp but all are slim too, it feel easy drop off the phone if you're short of hand to grasp the bezelless "smart" phone.
AnonD-921183, 17 Mar 2020Oh yeah Show me 21:9 Display phone in the market??? Guess who started waterproof mobiles?? Gue... moreMotorola Defy was First android Waterproof smartphone...Sony copied.
LG, Nokia, HTC had stereo speaker phones first...Sony copied.
Apple had Metal/Glass body first...Sony copied.
Oukitel U18 had 21:9 screen ratio first...Sony copied...(Samsung patented a smartphone with widescreen 21:9 display in 2014)
LG Chocolate had 21:9 screen aspect ratio in 2010.
Yes, history is definitely repeating itself with Sony, as usual, just copying other brands.

It is for the movies and not TV Shows. Still you get all Content without any loss in both 16:9 and 21:9. While 16:9 Display is good for TV Shows, it is useless for movie Content. By the way today almost all flagships neother Comes with 16:9 nor 21:9. So guess who is losing both the Content :) Also we Talking About mobile phones and not LG TV's

European EISA awards 2020 for phones went to Huawei, One Plus and Xiaomi.
This is the most recognized awards.
European EISA awards 2019 for phones went to Huawei P20 Pro, Nokia 7plus and Honor 10

The term "21:9" was chosen as a marketing term, first used by Philips in January 2009.
As of 2017, this ratio (21:9) is rarely used in TVs, due to it causing pillar boxing with standard 16:9 content.
Whh, 17 Mar 2020Great phone except toooooooo long!!!!!! Good god. Quit making long ugly ass phone! If you Keep S20 Ultra and Sony Xperia 1 side by side. Both are same height. Except you can hold Sony better in your Hand. Plus it has sexy design

Sony don't manufacture like China or Apple companies and don't flooding with advertise like these company, but I personally believe they will keep moving forward for who appreciate the design (notchless) and for user demand (example 3.5mm). Nowadays people are not dreaming to have a notch or punchole but marketing brag it has bezel-less screen, that making most of the display imperfect with these "gimmick", some of them ditch the 3.5mm and only Sony listen to the customer demand bring it back!

sorry.. sony's designer is really really bad.
Anonymous, 18 Mar 2020Huawei p30 proHuawei p30 pro has waterdrop and big curved edge design. You daily watching your display has a "protrude" things block up the display, that's you said it is beautiful!? And the big curved edge is hidden some side content on it side frame, do you think it is beautiful? The back over design are same as Vivo and Oppo, I mean it is the China designs and China taste, nothing bad mean but Xperia 1ii is Japanese design, it is all the way beautiful than other and like no other!!
AlexP, 18 Mar 2020What is wrong with you guys? This design is much much better than curved displaysAgree
I really like this flat design.
