Sony Xperia One Eye Eye
Is it true? I mean it is not like Xperia 1 Mark II. Joshua Vergara from android authority was saying that.
The best looking phone i ever seen so far

If the p... moreyou are absolutely right... perhaps "pushy marketing" makes most people "choose" the same. or some of them thinks what they prefer is supoerior than others preferrence...
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

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.
Can anyone confirm if how much memory is this expandable to?
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.
Ali Bashir, 27 May 2020I am assuming the 20fps AF/AE doesn't work on under 1/20ss however it doesn't matter. 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??
aksae, 27 May 2020its an awesome phone but $1200 is just too much. V60 would be a better choice at $800, comes w... moreThey phone is bundled with a set of either in ears (US) or over ears (EU) from Sony that are worth around 280 Euro each on Amazon (should be around the same in $). So if you wanted to buy some headphones anyway you now can get them with the phone, or sell them afterwards, lowering the price of the phone itself to around 1000$ 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.
Ali Bashir, 27 May 2020I am assuming the 20fps AF/AE doesn't work on under 1/20ss however it doesn't matter. No, unfortunately only on higher shutter speeds
Joe, 27 May 2020Relax. The camera is nothing special. Phone is overpriced. Next. So 64 or 108MP is what you call special?

joe nodden, 27 May 2020Oh so it's 60 exposure level adjustments per second. Not calculations. Hence why I was pretty ... moreA calculation is a mathematical determination of the amount or number of something.
If the phone needs to work out a given amount of numbers to get the correct exposure and focus it is not an expression as you say but a calculation.
Sony camera technicians (who know more about this than us both) call it a calculation, the Oxford dictionary defines it as a calculation.
Again you may prefer more megapixels, I prefer to take the option of lower image processing time. You prefer faster screen refresh, I prefer 4k. We are thankfully completely different people with different views, that doesn't mean one of us is wrong in our choices, we both pick what we use more and find more useful. Since we can't have 4k at 120hz or front facing speakers without bezels or large megapixel counts with 10ms photo processing.
Once you understand this, I'm sure you will be a happier person
Standard camera app is now only auto, manual redirects to CinemaPro for video, and PhotoPro for photo.
Programmable shutter button can lead directly to Alpha PhotoPro, where point n shoot only people can preset their autoHDR in P mode.
So yeah, cam can be setup for everyones liking.
Seems Sony is pushing users to generally use camera like an Alpha mirrorles one.
Cudos to that.
