I think all gaming phones are useless since mobile gaming is shit, I'm not trying to play PUBG on my phone while on the bus or train, I'd rather be watching videos or listening to music and this phone delivers the best of both with the display and the audio enhancements.

But at 1080p, plenty of games that support high refresh rate give full 120fps.
Pub g Chinese version with unlocked 120fps runs without any issues.

And how can you compare mobile gaming to Xbox 360 or ps3 or a PC graphic card like RTX 2080?

Metta, 23 May 2020Sony has not learned a thing from the world of mobile phones. Why they still keeps the design ... more"Why they still keep the design like the old screen? They should have updated and changed to full edge screen or at least full screen rather than useless spaces on top and bottom. "
.
Because they utilized the bottom and upper bezels with true front-facing stereo speakers with Cirrus Logic CS35L41 inside it and true FF stereo speakers is one of Sony's iconic features since 2014 and has been stayed there since. When it was moved to the bottom position last year Xperia 1 & 5, fans weren't happy and Sony decided to revert the location to the front. And if you want full screen without bottom and upper bezels, FF Stereo speakers can't be implemented and only 2 options can be chosen for now (UD-camera solution isn't ready till next year), either pop-up camera (revoke IP certification tradition) or punch-hole/notch (sidetracking the proper full multimedia immerse), and that's not what the Sony Xperia community want (that's why the notched L4 was received less well than 10 II or 1 II). Some revision could be a thing next year, but let's keep what Sony intended for 2020. Other worthy components like a notification LED, symmetrical bezel but with newly adopted 21:9 cinematic design, very contrast to your opinion. If you like other OEM brand design, then go for their design.

"They have embedded the Zeiss camera why not the screen?"
.
That screen of Xperia 1 II already calibrated heavily by their TV division, Bravia and Sony's professional division, CineAlta, and was already there since last year Xperia 1, so leave that intact as it was proven great on the X 1.

And the camera should have been updated to 24MP to compete in the market.
.
24 MP? That would make the data sensor readout slower than intended 10ms (the bigger MP, the slower readout), and that 12MP sensor of X 1 isn't your typical 12MP 1/2.55" of the past. It's a 12 MP 1/1.7" 1.80µm, and it's currently the largest sensor on non-Quad/Nona Bayer cell sensor to come in 2020 (outside 808 PV and Lumia 1020). Even Apple this year has decided to keep the 12 MP sensor (albeit a larger sensor than 11 series)

Metta, 23 May 2020Sony has not learned a thing from the world of mobile phones. Why they still keeps the design ... moreHow is it same design?? Bezels are minimised, 21:9 is new. Please show me another mobile from sony with same design. Name it.
How are those small bezels useless?? You're getting speakers, led light along with non distracting front camera. Let's agree u like ugly designs from other brands.

Metta, 23 May 2020Sony has not learned a thing from the world of mobile phones. Why they still keeps the design ... moreThere are people who don't want a screen like this. There are plenty of other phones which are designed like you want, you can just buy one of them.
Also more MP are not automatically better. Less MP means more light for each pixel. You normally only need higher MP if you are a photographer that crops his photos.

Anonymous, 23 May 2020More than 200 plus games currently support high refresh rate. Here's a list: https://zental... moreThe problem with 120fps gaming is that SD 865 is not a powerful processor. The TDP for SD 865 is 5 watts. (the whole package) SD 865 is top tier for mobiles, but for gaming in general, its very weak. (at least its better than Nintendo Switch undocked) For most games, the quality/resolution has to be lowered in order to get higher frame rates. Mobile games are optimized to run on phones, so quality is already pretty low to begin with. (some games are less intensive and already plays smooth) Here is some screenshots of Black Desert mobile max quality setting. https://i.imgur.com/7Y3n9TV.png https://i.imgur.com/T4jakGY.png (character creation is super fun btw) The game quality looks playable, but its very low compared to consoles like ps3 and xbox 360. Here is some screen shots of the PC version of Black Desert Online to show how much the quality is lower on mobile (RTX 2080 1440p) https://i.imgur.com/fkCBV87.jpg https://i.imgur.com/fZOqMLY.jpg Black Desert released in 2014 on PC, so recently released games look much better. The amount of detail in COD is unbelievable https://i.imgur.com/ttOlSyC.jpg

So my point is, that 120fps on phones is pretty useless, unless you don't care about image quality and prefer smoothness (helps with competitive first person shooter games)

If the specs here are 100℅ correct, this phone might take my money from the bank. Aside from the average battery capacity considering its more than 6", i can give this one a try.

Very, very nice.

Short intros into basics of mirrorless cam functionality and how-to.

Like the added background music effect too.
