Anonymous, 25 May 2020My only hate is the long screen can you just do the same as everyone else Everyone else doing 20:9 with notches/bholes, but you hate 21:9?!
That is pretty ridiculous.

So move on. You gain nothing trying to convince people it is flawed, and we gain nothing from your comments because if we are looking at Sony, we are in the minority who prioritize different aspects over refresh rates. Maybe we do watch movies on our phone and maybe we do understand photography and want proper manual settings.

See if you game on it on regular basis through out the day then I don't expect any phone to last a full day unless it has 5000mAh or higher capacity battery. For regular usage like chatting, browsing, YouTube streaming plus 1 or 2 sessions of casual gaming XZ Premium could have easily lasted for 6:00AM to 11:00PM day.

[deleted post]So if I theoretically wasn't able to understand anything and didn't have common sense. Why would you type an essay to reply to me? Seems to me like you either have self doubt or no common sense. Has to be the only explanation.

No, not at all. It's displaying 1 frame every sixtieth of a second. It's 60hz, 60 fps. No amount of "motion blur reduction" changes that. And it doesn't look like a higher refresh rate. What don't you get about that.
"It could also work the other way, in a sense that it would actually enable the high refresh rate of the screen but limited only to 90Hz and lower resolution (maybe QHD+)." What are you even trying to say anymore? If by "it" you mean the "motion blur reduction" then no, it doesn't "enable the high refresh rate of the screen" or "lower resolution". Unless by "it" you mean something else. I can't read your mind to tell what you mean by "it".
"Oh YES THEY ARE GOOD. For such capacity, the Premiums have always had good battery efficiency and could last a whole day just fine. In fact, they managed to make 2700mAh battery outlast a 3500mAh battery due to their impressive power management algorithm." I'm not repeating myself. Go read my other responses for this.
"It was limited to 60Hz due to hardware restrictions, but when something comes and can utilize the higher refresh rate, the software would then activate the feature and achieve true high refresh rate.
Many Xperia users have already said that 60fps on their phones feel smoother than 60fps on other phones." Except that isn't the case. It's always locked to 60. And it's not smoother.
"Oh, so you're saying that software cannot do magic tricks, really? Then I guess you don't use Night Mode for your phones since it was initially made by Chinese brands with the introduction on P20 Pro." I know exactly what night mode is. I've known what it is for years. Long exposure shots are nothing new, and certainly not "software magic".
"The point is, have you actually tried it yourself already for you to make such claims?" I've tried plently of display tricks. Vsync, freesync, high refresh rates, "MoTiON BlUr ReDuCtIOn", and only 3 out of 4 of thoes are effective at all. Vsync gets rid of screen tearing. Freesync does the same with no delay. A high refresh rate makes it actually smoother. And motion blur reduction is a terrible gimmick. Simple as that.
"I don't give a damn about those other brands that they can't implement motion smoothing very well." You made a typo there. It's "can" not "can't". The thing is they actually increased the refresh rate which made their displays smoother.
"Sony can do it, and that's what matters here SMH." Except they haven't. Who cares if they can if they haven't.
"Of course they do." Wow you linked an article that shows a setting that they say you can't enable. Congratulations.
"Context: "For the XZ Premium at least, it appears the 120 Hz mode has been disabled to preserve battery life."" Thank you for proving my point.
"Still don't believe they are true 120Hz panels? Sure, go ahead. As if that would change these FACTS anyway lol." I'm not gonna dig through my replies to see if I originally said it was or not, but I've clearly made my point that they're only set to 60hz, and that's all that matters.

I'm not gonna lie, the $1200 price tag really made me think twice because if I convert that price tag to Malaysian Ringgit, it cost about MYR 200 more than the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra and a whopping MYR 1,100 more than the most expensive OnePlus 8 Pro.

People who would love a higher refresh rate can just go buy another mobile it's simple, i think big screens demand big refresh rates, but on a mobile, i think it's simple just marketing schemes that's it, you will get smoother animations then what? It's not like your gaming three hours in a row lol, i would prefer better battery life and less heat

I respect the unending enthusiasm of Sony fans like you. From you posts it seems you have a lot of knowledge regarding them. How much I like this phone, I cannot lay my hands on it due to unavailability in our country.
Do you find any negatives on Xperia 1 II, something you thought Sony could have improved on this model? Something this Sony flagship is lacking in respect to its competition? Surely no smartphone is perfect I believe. A true Sony fan will only deserve respect if he has the courage to speak both the positives & negatives of a Sony phone.

Understand? No? Then shut up :))
It could also work the other way, in a sense that it would actually enable the high refresh rate of the screen but limited only to 90Hz and lower resolution (maybe QHD+). Either way, it's a win-win situation for the end user, and why should you complain anyway? Are you going to lose a game for not having a super high refresh rate or what?
Oh YES THEY ARE GOOD. For such capacity, the Premiums have always had good battery efficiency and could last a whole day just fine. In fact, they managed to make 2700mAh battery outlast a 3500mAh battery due to their impressive power management algorithm.
Now how's the Sammy flagship doin' with 5000mAh battery? I'm pretty sure it would last 2 days with that capacity, right???
It was limited to 60Hz due to hardware restrictions, but when something comes and can utilize the higher refresh rate, the software would then activate the feature and achieve true high refresh rate.
Many Xperia users have already said that 60fps on their phones feel smoother than 60fps on other phones.
Oh, so you're saying that software cannot do magic tricks, really? Then I guess you don't use Night Mode for your phones since it was initially made by Chinese brands with the introduction on P20 Pro.
Sadly for you, Sony's software always work really well, but you'd never know it since you hate them full-heartedly anyway lol.
The point is, have you actually tried it yourself already for you to make such claims? Again, this Motion Blur Reduction is most probably inspired from Sony Bravia's MotionFlow technology, which works great on Sony TVs, and could very well be implemented on smartphones as well.
I don't give a damn about those other brands that they can't implement motion smoothing very well. Sony can do it, and that's what matters here SMH.
Of course they do. https://www.androidauthority.com/sony-xperia-120-hz-display-mode-853299/
Context: "For the XZ Premium at least, it appears the 120 Hz mode has been disabled to preserve battery life."
Still don't believe they are true 120Hz panels? Sure, go ahead. As if that would change these FACTS anyway lol.

Brightk9it, 24 May 2020Okay so it also applied for the Sony just that they don't want to go In that direction okay no... moreBecause again, Sony aims for the accurate look and feel of the final image. You have the option to do it by means of GCAM, but as an Android user, Sony certainly expects that you have enough knowledge on how to find one and install on your phone.

However don't say 120hz is worthless to some people. Only a few people watch movies that this display would benefit all the time. But everyone uses their phones for literally anything else, and 120hz improves the smoothness of literally anything else. (Just not certain outdated games)
I'm not just trying to convince myself that the phone is no good, I already know it. It's far too flawed. So of course I'll try to convince others.
The phone I use is the LG V30. I want to upgrade asap, but nothing has piqued my interest. Everything has either a notch or no headphone jack or large bezels or no high refresh rate. There's no flawless phone. The Motorola Edge+ came pretty close, but it costs WAY too much, and charges slowly, and has a punch hole. The Nokia 9.3 is lookin' good, but there also seems to be no jack. So I'm probably just gonna wait until 5nm SoCs pop up in phones, because performance is something I want a big jump in too when I upgrade.
