Shui8, 17 Mar 2020The point is, others already has 90Hz screen on real life u... moreRog II = 2.527.200 pixels
7T Pro = 4.492.800 pixels
1 II = 6.312.960 pixels

That's 40.51% more resolution than 7T Pro and 149.8% than Rog II .....

Interesting to see nobody cared about 90/120 before, just after OP7 Pro came with 90. Just another proof that what people label GIMMICK or MUST HAVE is according to who uses and not the feature itself.

And u better check your resource back, its no s**tty battery backup. Oneplus 7T for example. Any 80+ battery endurance will last u for a day.

      Stop blindly defending Sony for whatever they do. If u want to call a s**tty battery performance, my old Xperia Z1 is.

        Professional Edition is a japanese version of 1 that came with better screen and better support for HDMI.
        Pro is based on 1 II ....

            Where did author get Canada price for Xperia 1 II?? It's probably not even going to come out in Canada.

              Shui8, 16 Mar 2020The way I see it, if its blocked, its useless to talk about... moreIt wasn't enabled because it would mean a huge battery drain to the phones. Because of that, Sony Xperias have always had great battery life.

              Meanwhile, Samsung and others already have sh*tty battery lives even with just 60Hz.

                Anonymous, 16 Mar 2020Xperia 1 :60hz Z2 premium : 60 hzA tweak was discovered that allowed the XZ Premium (2017) to work in 120Hz, along with its potential to be used in 4K all the time. Which Samsung or iPhone had that ability in 2017?
                I'd give you candies if you could even remember one :))

                  Flgshp2020, 16 Mar 2020Focusing issue only exists on the S20 ultra. Most ppl will ... moreAnd that further begs the questiom as to why the S20 Ultra is more expensive (apart from that zoom which is barely usable at maximum range).
                  Even with 5000mAh battery, battery life is sh*t, be it Exynos or Snapdragon variant. We all know Sony has been excelling here for years, so it should be no surprise that their 4000mAh battery destroys even Samsung's 6000mAh batteries because after all, optimization matters just as much as battery capacity.

                    People were earlier chatting about X1 II on reddit.

                    One user from Taiwan said to be at local stpre to ask about when the phone will be out. The store said it may be out in late April, but could be later because Covid-19.

                    Another user said to be in Taiwan too, this person heard that the shipping may be delayed because of Covid-19, also that the interest is hiher than Sony expected.

                        Maybe you need to go out and smell the coffee.

                          This Corona virus thing sucks so much because postal services are being closed down for some countries meaning I can't order new phones :(

                          I don't care about anything else or anyone - I just need my phone. Please corona stop.

                            Finally someone made a Pro phone that is truly Pro.
                            Not only ram boost or one different camera.

                                I just checked German Sony site GSMArena uses as source and there is not a word about phone's price. Who to believe?

                                    Anonymous, 16 Mar 202010-15% battery loss isn't much. Look at GSMARENA endurance... moreThose mobiles will die in 2 years. That's what samsung/OP/chinese comoanies want. No matter how many watts, at the end of the day, you save 10-20min on full charge. But your battery damages 2-3 days of it's life per super charge cycle.
                                    Guess how many are using Z series from 2013 till date, and compare ourselves with S8 users. Makes sense??

Im happy with it, but the lack of battery life with 5000mah is super disappointing. Charging means nothing when im not at my house/ a desk all day. I need a power bank which is clunky and annoying to carry. I prefer 60hz and all day battery life. Best case scenario, they optimize better in the future so you can have the benefit of 120hz with all day battery life.

                                        Its not only a smartphone, but a professional tool.

                                        And most certainly wont be sold in your local smartphone store, but in dedicated proffesional photo/video camera stores.

                                        And no, it pretty much isnt intended for most of us, but for professional photographers/videographers, who already spend thousands on their equipment,
                                        So this price range for a unique niche smartphone that greatly helps them out with their work on the field, is no problem.

                                        And I am certain it will populize Xperia smartphones in that professional range of smartphone customers
