Honestly this is the phone to get!
No-notch/no-hole punch display
proper front firing speakers
quality hi-res display, 21:9
3.5mm jack
great cameras with Zeiss optics, 4k60 HDR video recording ( way better than 8k30)
classy design which is lighter and slimmer than others
256gb base with expandable storage
Capacitive FP scanner (side mounted)
Good software experience that is close to stock.

My wallet says : I'll PASS !
Flagships are for high-class citizens whose ego is higher than high, eat every day at expensive restaurants, buy clothes from "Luis Vuitton" and buy Rimowa Luggage for the trips at exotic places.
For the rest of us (95%), there is a huge variety of low-mid class phones...

only 8GB of RAM ( 12 would be ok / 16 perfect )
UFS 2.1 ( should be 3.0 )
hybrid slot instead od dedicated dual sim
and no 8K recording
all that means I will pass .

Norris, 01 Mar 2020Xperia 1 II camera samples, have the same visible problems ... moreShould shadows be bright now?
Are you aware if you use auto mode on professional cameras it will choose foreground in expense of background?
Navy blue of sky in s20 ultra daylight photos does not seem real to me.

Bad timing for Sony and Nokia
Product Announcement: Mid-February
Release of Product: Mid-May
By then almost all have bought Samsung S20 and Huawei, One Plus devices.
Apple die hard fans will wait for their device in October.
The big losers here are Sony and Nokia. Bad Timing !

Probably the last of Sony.. Is it just me but seems like Japanese have forgotten how to make a good electronics anymore. Just like Nokia, Kodak and many more living off the past successes and slowly fading away. Just sad.

Shanti Dope, 01 Mar 2020Take this, the S20+ (non-5G) retails for around the same pr... moreS20+ is priced Lower in US (on directly converting, besides Sony usually does 1 to 1 conversion so that makes it 1200 in US based on that too) so your point is moot in that sense. No one cares if the price is lower in Azerbaijan or Czechoslovakia. Sony will probably be selling 10 phones there, so let them have it
Xperia is an amazing phone, not going to lie, but couldn't they make a version with 1080p, 120 hz/90 hz display and price is 999? What is premise for their premium price point? They don't market as much as Samsung or apple.
If you think apple does not market phones, look in their financial statements.... Their marketing budget is worth more than sales of entire Sony mobile.
You talk about this one being for so called pro-sumers, yet most guys at Hollywood or film directors use iPhones or Galaxy notes. I don't see the master series listed on their home page. That directly means that the phone is a layman consumer product. It is good one at that, but others do it better, which is why they sell

Let's make a comparison of things better in each phone for those people defending the $1400 price of s20 ultra and saying xperia is overpriced
Xperia
Higher resolution display
Lighter
Smaller
Better aspect ratio
Better design and colours
Side mounted fps
Better cameras
Front facing stereo speakers
Double storage in base version
3.5 mm jack
Galaxy
Higher refresh rate
Better telephoto camera
More ram and storage options
Better 5G connectivity
8k video recording (pretty useless for 99% users)
Bigger battery but disappointing battery life
Wireless reverse Charging
Faster chargin

Who knows, 01 Mar 2020And stop lying.. Sony 1 II has lpddr4x ram LOL .... I am big liar.
- I knew XZ2 Premium had monochrome weeks before announcement. How do I know it also had WRGB and 144Hz screen if no tech site reported?
- I knew X1 had 12MP before MWC
- i know imx555 is gen6 (best Sony semicon factory process), imx686 is gen2
- Xperia Pro has few special heat management hardware
How do I know Xperia 1 ii ultra wide is imx563? There are lots of 12Mp 1/2.6 Dual pixel sensors out there.
How do I know 10 ii has same main camera used by 10+?
Oooooopssss ......

What numbskulls marked "the perfect flagship"? 19.5:9 is tall as it is. Why not go back to good old 18:9 or even 16:9? I mean it's not like you're gonna be using anything taller more productive. Why not use that width for e-book/pdf reading rather than scrolling through cuckbook, tswatter? Heck even post-a-gram could use that squarer screen better.

The only problem with Xperia 1ii is price. At 1000$, it could have been a solid option with all the features it has. Again, this is Sony, so perhaps preorder goods might lower the price at the end.
Xperia 10ii has also the same problem. At 300-350$ would have been a great price for what it offers, but having it priced near 500$ is a bad motorola strategy that could backfire badly

LG Superfan, 01 Mar 2020No doubt Xperia 1 II is a great flagship but they priced it... moreS20 ultra is better only for telephoto camera and higher refresh rate everything else is better on xperia like front facing spekers,design,looks,side mounted fps,higher resolution display,lighter in weight and I am sure that the battery endurance will be better than the gimmicky S20 ultra.
