20 March 2020
Sony will add a few important camera features to the Xperia 1 II after launch.

Sort by:

Would it kill them if they added 21:9 mode for still images at launch?

      Is it you Pro, 24 Mar 2020"upsample and upscale" are not exist in real life. If the ... moreupscaling do exists...
      and any other type of interpolation...
      you are right with "if it is not there, it is not there"
      but through well designed algorithms they can fill in a certain space with something, but of course it wont replicate the real thing...
      for instance, superslowmo captures from some other brands uses the adjacent frames to fill in more frames... so let say a 240fps can be made into 960fps and you guess it right, it will come blurry... but, music being periodic or uses some patterns is a bit different story... try one, and you will be enlightened... but of course a flac is a flac... and xperia can handle that... and wait, 360 sound with the help of services, like tidal... that is wow...

        Zteam, 26 Mar 2020I really hope Sony updates the "old" Xperia 1 with Nightmod... moreIn deed! Spent 600 euros on Xperia 5 and does not have a night mode! I am only buying Sony phones for more than 20 years, if they don't give us night mode and eyefocus on wide angle cam then am off

          Vijay , 27 Mar 2020Is this mobile will launch in India? I don't think so. They have moved out of few countires due to their Business model changes. India is one of those countries. I guess People has to be blamed for it. Not many People in india buy Sony. They either go for mid range/Cheap or Apple for brand issues.

              Zteam, 26 Mar 2020I really hope Sony updates the "old" Xperia 1 with Nightmod... moreXperia 1 Default camera does decent Job even in low Lights. Comparing it with mid range is not a good comparison imo. Xperia 1 camera might be the best but definetly not the worst.

                I really hope Sony updates the "old" Xperia 1 with Nightmode as well.

                Since even midrangers from RealMe and Xiaomi for 200$ provides this.

                Everything else would be quite unfair to owners of Xperia .

                  Is it you Pro, 24 Mar 2020And you are just playing Mp3 or streaming from spotify. Om... moreIt works by improving the bit rate and audio frequency, is that hard to understand? According to Sony it works on streaming contents, I haven't used it yet, so no comment on that.

                    [deleted post]Sony flagship mobiles all won IF design Award. Guess you have bad taste in design.
                    If you like notches/puncholes, you can always buy the other Smartphones.

                      Kasekor, 24 Mar 2020Will Xperia 1 II has no longer problem on high heat?The only last Xperia which has heating issues is Z5 with SD 810. Not just Sony, that year all mobiles companies had the heating issues. I still don't know what heat issue you Talking About?? If you Play games/ Continuous Video, any device will get heat. After all These flagships doesn't have cooling Systems like gaming mobiles or Laptops.

                        [deleted post]TBH honest it's not that bad as older gen. Xperias.
                        And to the point - who cares, at least it's not having a notch and it has real, stereo speakers.

But we must wait until it is released to check the real life Performance.Also Xperia 1 II is coming in second half of April in Japan with docomo. I assume Early May or end of May would be global release. I'm excited, can't wait.

                              Makes me wonder even more, what Sony messed up this time.
                              I really hope Xperia 1 II can live up to it's specs.

No other Reviewers got the Hands on. Even sony uploaded the techspurt Video on their YT channel. Apparently, many other youtubers might have bugged sony for the partiality and had to remove techspurt Video on both Sony as well as on his channel. But I was one of the People who saw as soon as they uploaded. From what I have seen, the Video is very very short (

                                  Dynamic range compression (DRC) or simply compression is an audio signal processing operation that reduces the volume of loud sounds or amplifies quiet sounds thus reducing or compressing an audio signal's dynamic range.

                                  How can be both the same??

                                    Anonymous, 23 Mar 2020What happened to all the youtuber's hands on video of this ... moreI believe Sony did not sent Xperia 1 II to any reviewer, there are no videos of Xperia on YouTube, no articles Google knows of.
                                    They probably are fixing some hardware issue, that's why they did not officially unveiled the release date or they were simply showing off non-working prototype/dummy case.
                                    There are no new reports, because there is nothing to report, we have to wait for Sony to figure it out.

                                        If the "Audio File" is compressed, there is no way to bring the original quality back.
                                        Dude.. i see you're just a fanboy without any knowledge of signal processing. Go to college first and take technical major, you'll know what i mean.
