So sad with the review, after all Sony's cutting edge camera feature as its main highlight... it still struggle to compete against other phone's basic camera performance just like it's older siblings.
It's a big disappointment cause many expected to much for its "MARK" to justify it's price. Imagine the total control on camera of this phone.
but as a daily phone and as a pocket media player...the front facing stereo speakers, jack, exotic screen etch, for me I think that enough to compensates for its lapses and I still prefer this phone as it suited to my likings.
to many...pls dont push your own personal standards to others. It's ok as a guidelines but it might not passed as a basis of their own judgement..respect.

Loses on screen to phone ratio, wins on audio, looses on quick charge, wins on manual control of camera....
So, basically your comment was misleading. Neither is better than the other, just more suited to different users

stefano1, 30 May 2020Ok thanks, is there so much difference regarding the photos between the two phones?
I am espe... moreAt these prices, there shouldn't be a huge gap but some noticeable things. Xiaomi goes for the basic processed effect while Sony is light on processing leading to a natural picture.
Also you can change that if you don't like it on the Sony (via the Photo Pro app as said in the review). And if you like playing with settings, the Sony is clearly made for you.
As a mi 9t user I have been tempted to compare the photos taken by gsmarena in the review of this sony xperia II with the photos from the mi 9t review.
Honestly, I think they are the same quality, if not better those pictures taken with the mi 9t in some cases, a phone that has cost me 270 euros (128GB 6G RAM) !!

I am especially interested in the photo and autonomy side, xiaomi mi 10 pro costs much less than the sony xperia 1 mark 2 but if sony is much higher I could also consider taking sony.
Thanks
stefano1, 30 May 2020sony xperia or xiaomi mi 10 pro?
ThanksWhen first Xperia 1 was out, I was tempted to go for it, but the price, at least in my country was absurd, so went for a Mi 9T Pro instead. A friend of mine bought the Xperia, and I had the chance to play with both, head to head, and I can definitely say I don't regret my choice.
Aside of the screen/phone size, Xperia 1 has nothing over Mi 9T Pro, the camera and battery are worse.
And I think right now, the K30 Pro (Zoom) is a better buy, and it's my choice for my next phone later this year.

stefano1, 30 May 2020sony xperia or xiaomi mi 10 pro?
ThanksI'd go for the Sony, I've used both Xiaomi and Sony and I enjoyed Sony more. But that's a matter of taste.
From the spec sheet, the Sony is a more complete phone. You may pay more, but you get more for sure.
All these complaint 60hz and 120hz can just stop. Qualcomm current chip couldn't support 4k and refresh rate above 60hz. So Sony give Motion blur reduction (Equivalent to 90hz) which is better than nothing and less battery hog. Watch how that stand up to 120hz

Ok il bite....What cutting edge ? (Remember were going to talk facts as per GSM Arena)The cameras dont beat the s20 ultra which the ultra has auto focus issue.....Ultra also has better wide angle camera.......Screen u just cant compare as per gsm arena s20+ has better screen...4k ? maybe i can give u that on some apps yes what about the rest of apps ? not 4k all the time been tested we all know its default to 1080p on main apps and home screen (XDA has the proof).....8gb of ram thats like 4 years ago.....256 GB storage thats 4 years ago ....i mean sony uses samsung panels and same snapdragon as everyone else and this phone is not 5g (in usa) for usa people.....so tell me what cutting edge??????i mean sony used ALPHA team and still failed with camera compared to the s20ultra a phone with camera issues.....This is the reason i keep telling people not to jump the gun everyone was talking camera this camera that and look for $1200.00 u get nothing ...Now imagine the new note 20 when it comes with fixed 108 mp cameras and all the fixes samsung messed up on the S20ultra....Anyway i also forgot one major turn off from sony they announce in feb2020 pre-order starts june 1st i think and usa gets it july 24 first orders ? i mean really ? the phone will be outdated before release .....The note brings ufs3.1 so does the rog phone 3 and the other brands sony will be outdated with 3.0 phones will bring 120 and 144 hz screens sony stuck at 60 with the bs motion blur phones will bring the sd865+ sony will be outdated with the 865 i mean comeon really.....
I can see some people are here trying to convince the potential customers to buy something else, I wonder if they are getting paid for it or are they so concerned about us to have the best tech possible!
Nevertheles, if you are considering this phone then listen to this. (SAMSUNG FAN HERE)
1. Display: The Phone has 4K resolution with no punch holes or notches means no dead pixels. No higher refresh rate but has motion blur which is equivalent to 90 hz. (It was done to preserve battery)
2. Audio: Best in class. Check Unbox Therapy's review. Dual Front Facing Speakers.
3. Battery: 4000 mAH of Sony is equivalent to 5000 of Samsung/OnePlus. You will see that in future battery tests.
RAM: Has 8 GB of RAM. If you have paid attention, last years 4 GB Iphone 11 and 6 GB Xperia 1 ii decimated 12 GB OnePlus. Samsungs 16 GB S20 ultra is not gonna be as fast as Sony's 8 GB Xperia just like 4 GB Iphone is sometimes faster than the S20 ultra.
Iphones dont have jaw-dropping specs, but they always deliver. Same case with Xperia, these are genuine products.
