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.

I work with professional cameras and when I read what you talk about.. haha. Zero knowledge. Pixel binning is Sony tech and its good max to 48mpx. Propably Sony 7SM3 will have pixel binning @60mpx (15mpx efective) but thats full frame 35mm sensor :)

      The only gimmick here is your lack of experience with mobile's technologies pretending to be some kind of knowledge.

        There are people who can notice the extra details in 4k, so you can't call it a gimmick just cause you can't notice it.

        We haven't even seen the 90 hz equivalent solution they've set up, and you're talking like you've already tried it. It could be good, or it can be bad - but you can't deduce anything cause the phone isn't even out.

        Baseless opinions.

            Higher refresh rate is felt through general day to day operation, not only gaming.
            Educate yourself on that first.

            Keep using inferior 60hz phones.
            Once you go higher refresh rate, you don't go back!

              Can't stop laughing, not sure what Sony is trying to full here as xperia 1 II has worst cameras from 2020 all flagships without any pixel binning and probably smallest sensor around. Wow, Sony is really outdoing themselfs :D

                SLSAHXOHVOMVN, 30 Apr 2020Bugatti is the "fastest" car out there. Plz don't compare i... moreBugatti isn't the fastest car anymore, pal. Koenigsegg Jesko and Jesko Absolut already took the crown from Bugatti with top speed of 500km/h. And please stop commenting in every Sony pages just because you don't like Sony from the get-go... If the review of Xperia 1 II is proven to be solid and great, I still bet you will find its weakness and disappointing like no tomorrow... Please find your manufacturer that you like...

The fixed FL of X 1 II's versatile angle is 24mm and its telephoto is 70mm, which's 3x (after rounding off from 2.91x). Gee, the information provided by Sony is very clear from the get-go, yet insisting what isn't provide there. My goodness...

                    SLSAHXOHVOMVN, 30 Apr 2020Users should have the option, we are not in the tyrannical ... moreI don't agree with you. Overall the 4K display is better and important than 120hz refresh rate, because most of the time the user use YouTube, browsing website, social media, messaging/image editing/document editing, Photography, (4K)video recording, watching photo/video/movie, sum up all these are way more than just playing game.
                    Xperia 1 ii has Motion blur reduction technology, I am looking forward if any review can show the difference between 90hz and 120hz.

                      Exyvia, 01 May 2020Actually re-sell value of Xperia isn't that high as it does... moreUsually it can be a back up phone or give it to family. Since it is a quality product, the image was still there.

Therefore each pixel gets less light, so more read noise is visible in low-light conditions. A resized image would still have more read noise. But if the technology of the sensor was perfect without any read noise (this could be possible in the future), then 161% as much light + a high number of pixels wouldn't really have a noise disadvantage in low-light conditions.

The “super-smooth” display should, therefore, offer a superb overall viewing and usability experience. That is a quote google it, all tech sites have the information.

                                        Comes down to choice, Samsung gives you 120 hz refresh rate but to benefit, your screen is locked to 60 hz on full HD OR equivalent of 90 hertz refresh rate on 4K screen. Your choice, for me it is a no brainer! Xperia 1 ii with super smooth display, 4K screen and headphone jack, please.
