        Probably the same sensor size as the Galaxy S20. Both have dual pixel autofocus. Captures more than 80% more light per time than the typical 24mm² sensor + f/1.8 combination. But in the end the image processing is much more important.

          Anonymous, 24 Feb 2020If you keep watching on Low quality screen. It is. Sorry ... moreIts not just about the 8 bit. The overall results outcome, speaks for themselves. Iphone video recording are that good. Neither previous Xperia 1 or other android comes close. Maybe this new 1ii will, maybe not.

          Sometimes u have to face reality.

              Sorry to inform, but 8bit video is lower quality than 10bit.

                    With Tmobile buying Sprint, I think it can be a good option. Tmboile mentioned they would ultimately add Sprint their midband 5G spectrum again sub-6.

                        The Last Oracle, 24 Feb 2020And yet the iPhone video quality seems a lot more impressive. That's very debatable as there are none direct comparisons between Cinema Pro videos and iPhone 11 videos. Cinema Pro does a few things very differently than stock Camera app and I'm not talking about the actual features but image stabilization, exposure, and dynamic range.

Kind of weird that you need to stare at blurry static image in order to avoid motion blur.

                              don't you see sony is using their other famous brands to revive their phone???
                              The price is right as the people buy the iphone who has nothing and same with the samsung. At least, Sony used what they do on other professional names they own who are big alone and make money for the company.

                              This time Sony did make a perfect phone

                                  I'm curious about the 5g support. It states it supports sub-6, does this mean it will work on Tmobile its low band network?

                                  It could be quite attractive if it did. Low band spectrum won't be the fastest, but still better than lte and already rolled out across most of the US.
