Sony shows the Xperia 1 II camera and its Alpha-inspired features in detail

29 April 2020
Eye AF for humans and animals, 20fps continuous shooting with AE/AF enabled and a ZEISS lens with T* coating are just the tip of the iceberg.

You don't see difference between 720p and 2k?

Lol, you need to get your eyes checked pal.
I can understand that there isn't huge difference between 3k and 4k on small screen or not huge difference between 120hz and 144hz on smartphone but even on small screen, one can easily make out difference between 720p and 2k.

"

    Garbage analogy and totally baseless assumptions, these displays go through extensive testing before being rolled out. Did you see PC users sporting 120hz/144hz having short life span compared to the ones using 60hz?

    Besides the difference between QHD@60HZ and QHD@120hz isnt more than 10% for Find X2 pro.
    Difference between 1080p@120hz and 1080p@60hz on ROG 2 isn't more than 10-15%.
    Difference between 1080p@120hz and 1080p@60hz on budget Redmi K30 is not more than
    10%.

    So overall, higher refresh rate doesn't consume more than 10-15% battery on an average compared to 60hz.

    Plus with modern fast charging technology, a quick 10-15 min charge tops up your battery above 50% without any negative consequences to battery health.

An... moreCan I ask you something, if unlock 120hz@QHD+ with third party app on Samsung, how is the effect of battery endurance? Are you sure you want to sacrifice the battery endurance for the 120hz refresh rate? I think 60hz if fine 90hz would be better and 60hz upscale to 90hz is a best solution, I don't really mind it is 120hz refresh rate since high refresh rate will cause the Oled blink much faster, if you switch your house's light on and off much repeatedly is must have shorter lifespan. Another reason is battery consumption, 120hz refresh rate must have shorter the endurance.
      Why I think 4K is better because even the lower resolution image the X1 for mobile image processing will get upscale and looks much better than the origin (plenty details and natural sharpness) than others display.

Higher refresh rate is felt through general... moreYour comment feels you're the same batch of people who forced Sony to put QHD on their flagship phone back in 2014-2015, and Sony didn't release any QHD flagship phone until the birth of Xperia XZ3, both Sony's first QHD+ and OLED smartphone in 2018. 4K smartphone is their main focus for years, as we only see QHD from Sony once, but their 4K 5 times.

        For HRR tho, Sony could once enable their 120Hz on their next Xperia if Qualcomm decided to upgrade their resolution and HRR ceiling to 4K@120Hz / 1440p@240Hz on the next iteration of SD 800 Series. This year they had to interpolate it with 90Hz using their Bravia method (Motion Blur Reduction method) to make sure inline with this HRR trend.

        Sigh... Is the way of swaying most the market trends for years by keeping itself stand out in the offering is the reason why Sony got attention, both hatred, and fans? I'm wondering...

                          Anonymous, 01 May 20204k is gimmick. Higher refresh rate is felt through general... moreHow is 120hz is not a gimmick but 4K is??? Sony has been releasing 4K display since 2015. Did you just wake up now??

                          Also please tell me when is 120Hz is actually useful unless I'm scrolling the twitter and playing with notification bar outside games (Sony Xperia devices indeed push more frames during games and proved)

                          You will be the same guy who will say 120Hz is outdated once 144Hz and 240Hz mobiles are released. Indeed there are already 144Hz gaming mobiles in the market. To me, for a gaming mobile, it makes sense, but for a premium lightweight flagships?? It doesn't. Why?? In day to day life one can't notice the difference between 60Hz and 90Hz. And 90Hz and 120Hz. 30Hz is whole different story though. 60Hz is actually a standard for a reason.

                          When will the stupidity for high refresh rates, high megapixels and high ram sizes ever going to stop. Why does anyone needs 16Gb in 2020?? My laptop with 8GB ram can do workaholic multitasks like opening 60 tabs, decent video editing and playing decent PC games. Remember these are PC applications. Mobile application is not even has capability to utilize 4GB ram completely. Remember iPhone only has 4Gb ram and yet works like butter.

                          On the other hand 4K is improvement to QHD. How QHD is an improvement to FHD.
                          Having able to cover most colour gamuts. 4K display makes more sense to me than 120Hz. Given the mobile is the slimmest and lightest flagship of 2020.

                          Not to forget it indeed comes with 90Hz equivalent. To anyone who says it is not as fast as native 90Hz. The device is not even out yet, so calm down. We will talk again once the device is reviewed.

Its mean that tv put after every frame black frame to reset image on eye retina. But thats diferent story. On PC displays and smartphones you can display many more frames but thats another story. Every OLED display have very fast responce time, but medium blanking time. Wait to see Xperia 1mII on your eyes and then say its totally wrong and bed. OK?

                            "And Sony giving 90hz is through software, the panel isn't refreshing at 90hz natively. Huge difference."
                            So I see you have tested this technology and know everything about this, yes?
                            Please dont speak with me about displays technology... you're wasting your time.

                                  Find X2 Pro/OP8 pro already does 120hz@3k.

In Samsung S20 when you chose 120Hz, the resolution is lower (I have tested that once), I dont remeber now.. 1080p? So you dont have full 120Hz potential because not all pixels are adressed. Soo its the same as 90Hz. Human eye max is 85-90Hz.
                                    When resolution in 120Hz is lower then must be upscaling. So its not native 120Hz panel.

                                        Comparing it to Qhd+ there is minor difference in sharpness.
                                        You only notice it if you are actively looking for it and viewing the screen 1 inches away from your eyes.

                                        4k on a 50 inch TV is huge difference from 1080p or QHD, not so much on mobiles.
                                        On mobiles, 4k is nothing but a battery hog.
