FasterJonny, 03 Jul 2019what's an AUBE chip? It's Sony's custom processor dedicated for the fusion of RGB and B&W images.

    The truth?
    All those that are talking bs about this Sony phone are either just pure haters, jealous fanboys, or just have never tried the phone in personal.
    There are many cases already when other Android users switch to Sony Xperia phone and felt really happy with their choice, even to an extent that they think it's a much better overall experience.

    Another call is that the majority always say that nobody cares about Sony, but then I open a Sony-related article here on GSMArena and not even a day after publishing and it would already get about at least 5 comments already.
    Just like the XZ Premium back in 2017. I believe it already broke the GSMArena record for the highest number of comments in a published article.
    Is that what they mean about "nobody cares?" LMAO the ignorance :)))

      Ohhh this better be good.

      Display & design already excellent on Xperia 1, got that Sony signature look. Side rear camera are better as some of the best gimbal working perfect with it.

      - Make battery bigger. Ditch the dynamic vibration.
      - Reduce the oversharpen camera algorithm, add 4k 60fps
      - Apply Auto HDR on high contrast scene, low lights.
      - Use in display earpiece like P30 Pro, revive back stereo speakers on top & bottom sides. (Bezels will reduced)
      - Improve Cinema Pro app with editing tools, just like FilMic Pro.

      Eitherway, Sony dont sell in my country, so i can only imagine lol.

          Anonymous, 03 Jul 2019Iphone does not have 10bit. DCI-P3 is restricted to 8bit.... moreI have no idea where you got that information from but Anandtech says otherwise.
          https://www.anandtech.com/show/13392/the-iphone-xs-xs-max-review-unveiling-the-silicon-secrets/8
          From the article: "I think what this could be attributed to is the 10-bit colour depth of the Apple phones, as their DDIC and the active matrix would need to do more work versus the 8-bit counterparts"

          I also suggest you to learn the difference between a color space and a color depth. They are completely separate entities.

            Anonymous, 03 Jul 20191) Xperia 1 has better screen than 7 Pro. More resolution,... moreHey. Interested about the military grading. Where do you see that? I never saw it anywhere regarding Xperia 1

              Anonymous, 03 Jul 20191) Xperia 1 has better screen than 7 Pro. More resolution,... moreI agree with you except for 1), 2), 6), and 8). 120Hz mode on Xperia 1 is currently only a rumour which has not been either officially announced or confirmed by Sony. OnePlus 7 Pro has better speakers according to GSMArena and also comes with higher maximum internal storage configuration, and finally HDR video... uhh, is it something you can watch with correct colors and contrast on other devices that don't support HLG video format? There's no denying that Xperia 1 is a more complete phone as a whole, but I think you're exaggerating the truth a little bit.

                  Anonymous, 03 Jul 2019If it is trash, i cant even imagine the "compliment" you ... moreIn case you didn't know Xperia 1 also comes with a 8-bit OLED panel, but the software applies color smoothening to make colors look like they are displayed in 10 bits, hence "8+2 bit display" according to Sony. As far as I know only iPhone XS uses a true 10-bit OLED display.

                    [deleted post]And this concerns a "normal" costumer who wants a good phone, with good camera and battery life how?

                          2) Xperia has better speakers than 7 Pro
                          3) It does better photos and videos than 7 Pro
                          4) It will get android 10 before 7 Pro
                          5) it has protection against water and dust, 7 Pro does not
                          6) it has slot sd , 7 Pro does not
                          7) military certification like LG phones, 7 Pro does not
                          8) it records 4K HDR, 7 Pro does not
                          9) it has Gorilla 6 on both sides, 7 Pro uses GG5
                          10) it has LED notification, 7 Pro does not

                          Only advantage of 7 Pro is battery endurance because of lower resolution and UFS3.0 because it was presented almost 3 months later. This type of memory was not available yet.

                                Xperia hours maybe is for me if it brings better hardware than Xperia XA2 Ultra

                                  "this model will have a 6” OLED panel, down from the 6.5” screen of the Xperia 1"

                                  Miracles happen, it's only 2019 and manufacturers are already realizing that people don't want oversized phablets.

                                    It does all I need.

                                    Xperia 2 is lower tier than Xperia 1. Lower screen resolution, smaller size.

                                        Xperia 1 = J81xx
                                        Horus = J82xx

                                        According to the codes, since 2017 the first is always the main Xperia.
                                        Which means Sphinx may be above Xperia 1 ...
