[deleted post]So true.

For those who think Sony has no night mode, try this. Go program auto > set ISO auto > turn on HDR auto . Take using 24mm lens and stabilize your hands. (Shutter speed can go 1/4 seconds )

          Fearghast, 28 Jul 2020Is RAW possible to all three lenses?Yes

            That 4K panel sure does help to keep those FPS steady ;)

            You can usually "fix" that with GFXtools.

              Other non gaming phones with Snapdragon 865 do not reach 53°C and do not drop frames either while staying cool.
              Nobody wants overheating garbage at 1200 Euros with limited availability and after sales support.

                  Instead of giving this RAW mode that is available on every Android, Sony should focus on reducing heating issue during gaming.
                  PUBG gets as hot as 53°C which is unacceptable as it's only running at 60hz.
                  So much for their battery care!

                    Josephnero, 28 Jul 2020Yes it is That's really nice, because it didn't seem all that possible due to how they made those three lenses - AKA only main lens has full Camera2 API support and more.
                    Great news, now I am looking forward to see Xperia 5 II even more.

                            Too bad, got it and then send back because it wasn't finished. At that price point, it should have been perfect when available, especially when it was announced more than 4 month before ...

                              Two "issues" solved, nice.
                              Still think this is the best flagship right now.

                                    Chris T., 28 Jul 2020Sony promised a proper night sight.. Still nothing I guess?Use their 24mm lens together with DRO . That sensor is a fantastic one! If not, DRO together with long exposure. Or HDR with a sturdy tripod. Key sensor : 24mm sensor!
