joe nodden, 26 May 2020Idk if you're being sarcastic or not, so I'm gonna assume you aren't and just go off that. Jus... moredesign alone,great or not is pretty much subjective, just because you don't like it. doesn't mean the rest of 7.7 billion people won't like it. same things as preference and needs. just because you don't need it, doesn't mean others also won't need it.

if you kept trashing sony when they only have 60hz, what's wrong with having 240hz? surely that's better than having 120hz

we get it, you don't like sony phones.that's fine.but also realize we that like sony phone, especially this xperia 1 II also don't like what others currently offers no matter how much you trashing on this, it won't change our mind. just because you think this sony phone is crap and yours is great doesn't mean its fact, it's only your opinion

If you watch that video completetly. It was a streaming and they read the people's comment who donate them. He just repeated the phrase from one of the subscriber who said it is called "Xperia One Eye Eye", it was a joke lol.

        RishiGuru, 27 May 2020https://youtu.be/ozkWS_YqwYM At 34 mins 10 sec IDK dude. It's unorthodox to hear Sony Xperia 1 Eye Eye despite Sony Xperia 1 Mark II naming certainty from the beginning. Because after Alpha's intervention on Xperia's since Xperia 1 in 2019 (with the development of Xperia 1 from 2018), I knew Alpha elements will be carried over to Xperia (from the naming scheme (Mark II and so on) to how the camera software works (like Photo Pro and RAW-based photo)). I mean, the naming scheme also affects Xperia 1 II successor for the upcoming years, 1 III, 1 IV, and so on... Even Japanese media were right to predict Xperia 1 Mark II naming. Tbh, the pronunciation of 1 II as 1 Eye Eye kind of ruins Alpha's collaboration in Xperia.

            If pronounce like what you type and Joshua Vergara told, then their Alpha, RX Cyber-shot, and other Sony products that applied romanized numerical in their products should be the same. But in fact, it wasn't. It's pronounced "(product) Mark (iteration)" as the new Xperia naming scheme was taken from their Alpha and RX Cyber-shot series nomenclature. Even Sony Mobile President and Sony Xperia Engineers told about that.

                  at my end, i usually choose what i want not what i see on others, on the contrary i like it better to be different... i even use a phone with a gigantic bezels... z5 premium...
                  people should accept diversity... at least there are manufacturers who are brave to cater people who prefers anything else than the usual... i see sony and lg doing these... people should realize that we have different "options" and should buy what they want... if they think it is too expensive then they can either buy other "cheap phones" or wait for a price cut... because who doesnt want a lower price? as long as there is no compromise...

                    Ali Bashir, 27 May 2020I am assuming the 20fps AF/AE doesn't work on under 1/20ss however it doesn't matter. Maybe not even 1/60 because of 60fps AE calculations
                    Practically, 60fps is the adequate shutter speed to match real life motion, so it would be the fastest speed that the burst would work in to prevent motion blurring

And I personally like that more than the heavily modified UI of Samsung for example.

                        Basically its not as fast as compared to the SnapDragon version so if a test is needed to be taken, it shld be 2 Samsung phones vs 1 Sony.

                        However, there's the ease of using its user interface which Sony phones have not been quite on par with the rest of the market.
                        I do hope coming one is a good boost to put Sony back on track with the big boys.

                            I was really disappointed when Sony decided to run away from their customers in Indonesia because so many claimed the warranty for their Xperia products which were very expensive but with very poor after-sales service. The last time I bought their product was the Xperia Z3C and I used it for only 3 months [accumulation] because several times there were improvements in the official service ... Damn .. but I still miss their Xperia products and hope that Sony can sell Xperia again here, officially and of course with better after-sales service according to their expensive products.

Correction, the autofocus is actually 60 fps (or calculations per second) the burst shooting is 20 fps, during where between every show autofocus can be calculated 3 times per shot.

                              But yes, if you're taking a long exposure shot the autofocus is calculated however fast until you take a shot, because you don't want the focus changing during, as you'd end up with a fuzzy mess :)

                                Same reason why they don't follow other shieeaps with notches and punchholes.

                                You don't mind paying 1070Euros for a garbage chinese mobile (cough cough OP 8 Pro with charger) but a 1200 euros Sony Xperia 1 II with dslr like features along with 280 Euros worth free headphones (that makes mobile only 920 Euros on pre-sale deal) is ridiculous??

So if you wanted to buy some headphones anyway you now can get them with the phone, or sell them afterwards, lowering the price of the phone itself to around 1000$ if you sell them for 200.

                                    J. Bagnell is absolutely right.

                                    This phones camera setup with unique Pro apps is not the usual all present simplified smartphone camera app, and should not be reviewed in the same matter at all.

                                    This is a DSLR mirrorless level UI camera approach, and should be reviewed accordingly, like reviews of those standalone cameras, not computational effect burdened photo/video applications of usual smartphones.

                                    For that simplified use, go to 400-500 budget mark devices.

                                    Mark II is content creator oriented, not pointnclick instagram postit oriented device.
