    [deleted post]When you present those real world evidences, people might accept it. Until then, too fast charging causes to fast battery degradation.

      I am talking about other elements of ui when you open settings app which are not accessible easily.
      "OneUi" gets its name from the specialty to be designed for one handed usage as Samsung phones were getting taller and taller over the years.
      Sony brand boys are truly brain dead, not reading things properly.
      How much are you getting paid? 1 cent per post?

        Buying Sony smartphone is akin to stepping foot on a sinking ship.

                Seems as hard to use as always so nothing new from sony.

                    zodiacfml, 17 Jul 2020Question on Cinematic look, is there a difference shooting ... moreThe shutter speed issue is this: at 24 or 30 fps, if you have a moving object taken with a short shutter speed, it appears to move in a series of tiny jerks which doesn't look natural. A slower speed means that each frame is slightly blurred giving the impression of movement. There is less detail but it looks better.
                    Once you get to 60fps or above motion blur isn't really necessary.
                    With a windshield camera, you want the shortest shutter speed it can manage because you want sharp frames with no motion blur, but with an f/2 lens in daylight the ideal shutter speed is very short and a neutral density filter is necessary to get the desirable 1/50 sec. (In fact, the old Minox spy camera had a sliding ND filter built in, and Sony should think about that as an accessory case.)

                      Takoyaki, 17 Jul 2020"Right now, the CinemaPro app creates the impression o... moreSony makes cameras and audio for phones. They need to test them and develop software for them. Either they have to use one manufacturer's phones for testing - which will upset all the others, as Google found when it did the Nexuses - or they make their own development platform. Having done that you might as well sell it to cover the development cost. The small loss on phones doesn't matter if the alternative is a much bigger development cost on cameras and software. And Sony can try out ideas on their phones which they then use on cameras, and vice versa.
                      However, the point about ND filters is a good one. I had to add a filter ring to my video camera (with superglue, I'm afraid) for exactly this reason. I can see you can't do it on the phone even by modifying a case. Somebody didn't talk to someone else.

                                When you open settings menu, you have to reach top of screen to access the elements of the UI there.
                                On OneUi, you don't, since they are designed to never having to reach top of screen.
                                You haven't used oneUi or anything else apart from Sony.

                                How about you go and read gsmarena review of OneUi.

                                    Competitors dont even offer any "pet projects" with video capabilities like these.
