Anonymous, 25 Aug 2020sony has average tech mot advanced samsung has 52% of all sensors sold on Earth are Exmor.
Samsung has about 16%.

Samsung sells for mobile, while sony sells for security, medical machines, cars, cameras and mobile.

Sony created the 3-layer sensor (dram inside), Samsung copied.
Sony created the quadbayer, other copied later.
Sony created the 2x2 on chip lens tech.

      Android.Master, 25 Aug 20201 billion colors is achieved only through true 10bit panels. Software enhancement makes phone able to display 10bit.
      Expand colour gamut to reach BT2020 (sRGB and DCI-P3 are still 8bit gamut).

      You see the description of 8+2 for Xperia 1/1ii , but not for XZ3/XZ2 because these two are true 10bit from LG.

      Samsung oled are not native 10bit. Only panels from LG, Boe and China Star are.

              Anonymous, 25 Aug 2020And people still buy AMOLED which is already overpriced 🤔😂Egghead, read before comments, article clearly states this issue is not amoled related but high refresh and it is software issue.

All these lemon fanboys and girls, totally clueless kids / immature current today folk, with too much money that wanna match or better their friends. Total b ends. These numpties are txt fighting here. They are owned by three companies. Sad sacks. Best of luck to you, nice person with a brain, glad to find another, few on here 👍😀

                          Just like they waited for weeks to fix autofocus issues before sending their unit to DxOMark.

I've been begging for HTC to reach out to them for their upcoming flagship (whenever that comes out despite me having mixed feelings thanks to the U20...).

                                Sony 1 ii, Oppo Find X2 Pro and OP8 Pro are all 8+2.
                                LG makes 10bit oled.
                                Samsung does not even have oled with quantum dots, something LG has supplied for years.

                                  Considerimg RGB oled costs more, all use pentile, where 50% is green.

                                    Any sensor can act as depth sensor. When you select "portrait mode" and your phone take photo using the 2x/3x "zoom" camera, the main camera will act as depth to blur background because phone cameras cant natural blur unless they do closeups.


                                    ToF is not capable of taking photos nor recording videos. Not even if the OEM wants.
                                    That is why they do not need more resolution.

                                      Sony has the most advanced sensor tech on Earth, but makes 0.5MP ToF.
                                      You think you know more than them to say it should be 12MP.

                                      LOL .....

I have sell note 10 I bought xiaomi mi 10 5g brand new for money I have get for note 10 and guess what still I have some money left . The thing is people need to realize that there is More phone making companies not only Samsung and Apple which are way better than those two . I will never buy Samsung again as they can learn from such a young company like xiaomi.
