Sony Xperia 1 II - user opinions and reviews
Fearghast, 08 Mar 2020It's gimmick because it's "interpolated" 90Hz.IMO the 120hz and higher refresh rate are gimmick because it is a battery hog. The 120hz high refresh rate doesn't makes image quality better because the motion "appears and dissappear" faster than you wink, therefore you can't see anything different in evident. Gaming with 120hz high refresh rate display would exhausted the battery even more faster, therefore recharge more often, in the end the battery degrade faster. The competitors plan to ads 120hz high refresh rate a great but that's has a drawback is the reduction on battery endurance.
The Motion blur reduction technology from Sony is a good solution it keeping the nice and well-balanced between battery endurance and motion objects.

Anonymous, 08 Jun 2020No issues for updates, but no 5g either. probably best to import from Asia or EuropeYeah not all are 5G enabled. It depends on from which site he will be ordering. If he waits longer there is a possibility of getting cheaper International version from Amazon which will be 5G enabled but no US Warranty which in any case will be void.

So, the metadata's no longer there. You could revert to older version if you want.

This sensor is HUUUGE! I'm glad they went with the 12MP as main, rather than 108 or 64. I can't wait go get my hands on it.

Those numbers you cited amount to nothing in practical use. People obviously don't notice it. What they DO notice is that OLED displays offer indisputably better contrast and genuine black. That's why people prefer it. I resent disingenuous marketing, but the displays speak for themselves.

Sony fanboys or not - this is an awesome piece of tech in 2020. Pre-ordered mine capalla' days back. Maybe it's not that popular device as the iPhone or the Galaxy, but sure is more exciting. I'm saying this as an iPhone XS Max user.

This is what a 4K HDR display on Sony Xperia can do to you.

For starters "This is one of my favorite camera systems since the Google Pixel 4; in fact, the Xperia sometimes surpasses the Pixel in image quality. "

So, how does this leave the people who said 2k is enough on a small screen?
Do they now believe that hd is really the maximum to tell the difference or is 2k still noticable?
This is simple curiousity on my behalf

Senseurheart Kimochi, 05 Jun 2020IMO This is just magical when you watching your 4K video on your 4K, when you saying quality y... moreA typical 4k TV has full RGB resolution of 2160*3840*3 (each pixel has 3 subpixels, Red, Green and Blue), resulting in total of 24 883 200 color dots.
Smartphone 4k OLED hardly surpasses 2k IPS installed in LG G6.
Get your calculator ready.
Sony X1/X1m2, 21:9 4k OLED = 12 625 920! It's twice less than in a 4k TV.
3840*1644 green, but red and blue are only 1920*1644, = 3840*1644*2
LG G6, 2:1 2k IPS = 12 441 600. Surprised?
2880*1440 in all three colors = 2880*1440*3
Samsung S20, 20:9, 2k OLED = 9 216 000 dots, and it's this many only because of stretched display. Be it 18:9 it would be less.
3200*1440 green dots, 1600*1440 blue and red = 3200*1440*2
Sony 18:9 1080p IPS = 6 998 400, very modest
2160*1080 in all three colors = 2160*1080*3
Remember Sony XZ Premium 16:9 4k IPS? It has only 16 588 800 dots in total.
3840*1440 was its real RGB resolution, not 2160. Subpixel cheating again.
So, people who say smartphone OLED 4k doesn't differ from real smartpone IPS 2k, are partially right. Because of the ducking Pentile, the real dot count differs from what they claim to be the real resolution.
So far, Sony's 4k is the first real 2k OLED... And it's sad, because Samsung's 2k OLED hardly surpassed FullHD by subpixel density. And they call OLED a superior technology, LOL.
