Sony brought one this year, wish it would be a little cheaper (around 800-900). was waiting for xperia 5 II but usual Sony. No clear direction.

Fearghast, 03 Aug 2020You know, even on 4K, you display like what? 9-10 MPix?
So... moreWhat do you mean with 9 pixels on a 4K screen?
I didn't try out the phone yet. I have a Note 8 and here the 12MP shots looks blurry when zooming in. I think it's the same on the Sony phone.

No Compact this year? WTF Sony??? We have been waiting patiently and you come up with this crap?
We want a proper small compact and not something long that needs fingers like ET to operate.

5.2" 21:9 with same bezels pf 1 ii would be smaller than XZ2c.
I suppose sony will be using Micro Matrix tech next year.
It decreases overall size of sensor without performance loss, the cam can be placed into the frame too.

None has quality enough for big screen.
This is why a 12MP from A7s2 can be used for outdoor ad, but 12MP from phone is bad for a print of same size of book cover.

Shui8, 03 Aug 2020Yes, I'm fully aware of that (long time Sony user sinc... moreAhh interesting about that. And yes, I'm also a long-time Sony user since the SE era with Live with Walkman WT19i and currently using XZ Premium with a plan to get 1 II later, tho I've never do any contribution to XDA.
For the second statement, I do agree with your second statement, and I do aware Sony is trying their best to evolve and change, gradually method so far since their Mobile has been put in one umbrella with their other Electronics divisions in April 2019 and putting their Electronics division into a new corporation back in April 2020.
IMO, probably the only core specs that should be kept in that way are "the one that didn't change rapidly" like 3.5mm jack, stereo speakers, chassis design (squarish corner with a flat side, back, and front), Qnovo charging tech. Other than that, yeah, the advice you gave should be followed, while keeping the same base platform & the segmented / niche market they want to take and achieve with the new direction, simultaneously. 😉

AnonD-947580, 03 Aug 2020I too hope they'll upgrade their auto mode - then this... moreNot that simple.
Mark iii will probably go triple 12MP according to latest interviews.
More megapixels will decrease the speed the sensor data is read.
Sadly, the phone with 16, 20 or 24MP would not be able to do what 1 ii does.
Other phones use HDR 100% of the time, sony does not do it because some situations you better have HDR off.
You cannot select AF-C and HDR same time on Photo Pro.
