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.

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.

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.

joe nodden, 26 May 202020 fps and 60 calculations a second? What? What are you even trying to say? 20 fps isn't good.... moreBro he's talking about the shutter burst speed for long consecutive photo shoots not video framerate or slow motion.....leave those kind of things for us tech nerds😅.

Guys I've seen camera tests of mark ll and I can say it's freaking crazy guys . Forget all you knew about Sony's for Xperia lineup cause this is the first phone that's come out this year that I can actually give a 10/10 for its camera performance and video quality. In case you want to call a Samsung or Huawei flagship then I'll let you know that I have been using the S20 plus and my man's been using the ultra and none of them are better at photo quality than Xperia 1 markll.... except for the Crappy name tho🤦

Just copy pasting my own comment so that it won't get lost
- 4K HDR 10bit Display (Only mobile to cover BT.2020 gamout other than DCI-P3)
- 4K HDR recording at 60fps & 2K HDR recording at 120fps
- God tier 20 fps AF/AE with Eye AF and 60fps calculations (even in low lights)
- Legendary Zeiss lens with T* coating (no more ghosting)
- Large physical sensor size for low light conditions
- Photo pro & Cinema Pro
- 21:9 aspect Ratio unlike typical 20:9 (no Need of zoom in and zoom outs for atleast 21:9 content)
- Sexy design without ugly notches and punchholes (+ fits good in one hand). Probably Lightest & slimmest flagship this year 2020
- Fast processor unlike lousy exynos or mediatek or kirin with 5G sub6 included
- Dual front end facing Speakers (immersive effect)
- 360 degree audio function + Dolby Atmos tuned by Sony pictures/Music
- Wireless charging
- Headphones jack (no audio losses like in BT and probably will be the only flagship with 3.5 mm in 2020 )
- Motionblur reduction (90Hz equivalent & 120Hz touch sensing)
- MicroSD Expansion upto 1TB (Now a days it is a big deal to have this)
- IP65/68 Rating (Only mobile to include two ratings)
- Camera shutter button
- Power button as fingerprint scanner
- UFS 3.0 & LPDDR5
- 8GB RAM/ 256GB ROM
- 4000mAh
Honestly what other flagship company is providing these features for 1000-1200$?? Not saying it is cheap but considering the Prices of other flagships, it is still worth packed with lot of Features. Premium design and weight added.
PS: Last year 6GB Xperia and 4GB iPhone performed onpar with 12GB ram samsung and OnePlus in speed test. This also proves how crap Samsung and OP ram management is. Anything over 8GB ram is nonsense (even with 3 chrome tabs open) today. Over 12GB is stupidity and where Mr.Silly lives
Edit: 250€ worth WH-1000M3 or WF-1000M3 is pretty darn deal considering the price for mobile you're only paying 950€. This is less than OP 8 Pro (1070€ with charger)
