Sony Xperia XZ Premium gets an option to correct image distortion

24 October 2017
This is part of the Android 8.0 Oreo update and is coming to other Xperias with the Motion Eye camera.

Sort by:

And what are they saying again that Sony will never fix the camera distortion issues?

LMAO I doubt their manufacturers will ever fix their screen burn in and battery blow up, or even bother putting dual front stereo speakers and a headphone jack.

    Anonymous, 24 Oct 2017Software's solution...!? Hopefully xDwide angle lens tend to have image distortion, what other company did is to include a software to correct the distortion.. so of course it is software solution.. heck u even have the choice to turn it on and off. bcuz sony kinda figure out some ppl will realize that is the norm of wide angle lens so the distortion is to be expected.

        AnonD-623081, 24 Oct 2017Cant agree more.. only too bad about they shitty cameras.. :(You can learn how to use it correctly.
        12MP is too fool you ( also because iphone has 12MP, then other use it too)

        You cannot crop much, so you wont see the noise that is there.
        It sucks when you print photos.

        Software is the same of their cameras..
        High ISO is by their choice, nothing to do with processing.

        My X Performance does better than wife's s7.
        I rarely use auto mode..

          Then s5 would be better than s6

            Anonymous, 24 Oct 2017Samsung copied waterproof ness from Sony. Don't forget that.Waterproofing is not a technology or design. It's a quality. Like if you began to say that a company makes phones with 5G, and then another starts. Will you say they copy the first one? That's a wireless standard, not a quality. Fact is that you can acheive certain characteristics in diffrent ways.

                            I don't know having correct images distortion is copycat from Sony or not! If it was too! definitely worthy copycat

                              Still one of the best classy looking mobiles on the market in my opinion. Nothing futuristic like the iPhone X or galaxy flagships, but truly elegant to me.

                              Top and bottom bezels are not problematic but the side bezels should not exist. No side bezels would had made this phone a really remarkable classic beauty.

Since they all share the same sensor, perhaps it does. But maybe Sony changed the lens with the XZ1/XZ1C, who knows.

                                      That is why was no need.

                                      It is worse to see a narrower lens ( s7) to have these issues
