    Im an lg fan. I have the g6 n v30. I like the quality of sony phones. It lasts a long time. But sony has poor camera, audio volume, and speaker!! If sony joins the bandwagon lioe sammy, lg, n apple, i will buy sony again. Until then, no sony for me. Sony neex to kill the big bezel design for Gods sake.

          @Adel, 18 Dec 2017I Don't think the 1+5T is know for his good camera. Actual... moreIndeed! The inconvenient truth people want to forget is, outside of gimmicks, the OP3(T) camera actually outperforms the one in OP5(T). OIS is the key here. Add the broken camera HAL in OP5(T) and now you have insult on top of injury!

              Bodo bin babal, 18 Dec 2017SONY phones is the greatest ever no one can defeat sony in ... moreAnother blind fanboy, sony is very mediocre in smarthpone photography, cant you just see and read what profesionals telling? High pixel count and sensors does not make camera great, there is optics, aperture, pixel size and focusing in mind, Sony NEVER was on top, comparing with competition in camera department since Andorid days, not talking about cybershot series in feature phones, they was decent

                Samsungs, pixels and iphones are dominant in mobile photography, anything else it's just try to be as good as them or fail

Many of the parts are made else where and shipped to China for assembly. The software is also a huge part of any phone. And iOS is developed and made in U.S.

                          To be honest, if you don't put photos side by side to compare, all of these take very nice photos. The very minor difference in color or contrast can't be noticed at all if you're just looking at your own photos.

                          The difference comes from using the phones and actually the process of taking photos and selecting different settings. Some are more intuitive then others and a great UI should play a role in determining a great camera setup as well.
