Just got mine today, I tested Endgame HDR and it was superb sooo satisfying. The 21:9 screen is perfect for watching cinema like this.

Anonymous, 19 Jan 2021I don't know why sonny's phones are too expensive Because, they are good
For example
My wife is so sensitive to radiation in the phone.
So, sony phones, like HTC in the past, have low SAR level. Her hands don't hurt anymore when she's holding the phone

Anonymous, 19 Jan 2021I don't know why sonny's phones are too expensive It's simple. Sony's phones look really nice, but they have been overestimating themselves. They are far from learning what they are wrong at. I only mean their smartphone business segment.

Blabla, 09 Jan 2021Badly noticable green tint. Exchanged for new unit, and those green hue won't go away boy... moreYou can adjust the screen white balance from the settings and choose warm/cold/user settings you can select from the palette

Ioannis, 12 Jan 202121:9 ratio? Is this a joke or the rising of the TV control phones, totally useless in landscap... moreYou seem like you don't know what you're talking about. 21:9 is a selling point for many people, including myself.
You have plenty of other options if you don't like it, like Samsung's 20:9 which is only slightly different while making no sense. Up to you fam.

TheGoldenMellifluous, 13 Jan 2021Blame critics and haters who pushed Sony too far back in 2017 to phased out 16:9 ratio earlier... moreapart from that, it feels good in the hand...
i personally liked it when i got my 1 ii...
i just dont like holes and notches...
and software took advantage of the ratio, like the multiwindow...
so it is not only about videos, but socmed, and others for productivity...
but of course, after transferring some movies from my z5 premium to 1ii, it is more immersive...
but, honestly i missed some bezels for good handling even when watching movies or video clips, find my thumbs get in the view, something that does not happen to z5 premium with its "humongous" bezels... but anyway it is not that hard to adjust, besides they need it to "look" modern in most peoples term...
in the end, i am thankful that i can still choose a classic phone - boxy, no holes and notch... if ever i want a modern phone, i would go all out to lg wing...

Ioannis, 12 Jan 202121:9 ratio? Is this a joke or the rising of the TV control phones, totally useless in landscap... moreBlame critics and haters who pushed Sony too far back in 2017 to phased out 16:9 ratio earlier and redesigned their signature boxy design just for bezel-less design, only to be despise both from fans and haters in 2018 and return to the "signature blocky" form in 2019. Especially Japanese firms like Sony are loyal to traditions.
In multimedia industry, there are at least 3 standardized ratio. There are 4:3, 16:9, and 21:9. The former two is used in TV while latter is for cinema. Those two also has been ousted by smartphone companies since 2013 and 2018 respectively, and knowing Sony is a multimedia expertise giant and very technical and strict to standardization, 21:9 is the (only) way to go, though Sony had to settle with 18:9 for a year. Between 16:9 and 21:9 ratio (17:9, 18:9, 19:9, 20:9) aren't standardized at all, and even if it's existed, it never will be standardized. The regulations is there, so yeah.
Besides, every companies need its own unique selling point. But other companies followed Sony steps on mimicking Sony's ratio but scaling down around 21:9, despite first 21:9 phone wasn't by Sony. It was LG with BL40 Chocolate in 2009, 10 years before Sony resurrected it in 2019. After all, Sony wants to incorporate it's other divisions better in Xperia, so 21:9 is of course of the traits. And most people who handled 21:9 Xperias are able to managed to handle the phone and yes, the software also helps it.
Sure you don't like it, fine. There are more options there that aren't 21:9. But knowing Sony as multimedia expertise, with the 21:9 ratio phone era is entering the 3rd year, and its experience handling elements of it, you shouldn't be surprise at all.

21:9 ratio? Is this a joke or the rising of the TV control phones, totally useless in landscape, too narrow in portrait. I wonder why Sony is the starter of this obscurity and why everyone else follows?

Yesterday i received the long awaited xperia 1ii and frankly I was disappointed.
These are my observations:
- The screen contrast is low. I bought the telephone in order to read nice black font, it's basically becoming greyish. comparable (or even worse) than IPS. You can say the screen is good only for watching movies not for reading news.
- The navigation bar eats a good portion of the screen. can't be hidden.
- The resolution is not crisp enough because the pixels are not square shape, but rather they are "3 RGB sprayed dots" maybe in V-shape, no clear pixel boundaries, it's rather 3 shadows not totally superposing, rending it totally a FHD+ screen only.
- Gboard doesn't work.
