It's the lowest price it's ever been sold for.

verden.kma, 24 Oct 2020I do and I would not want to upgrade even if it cost me nothing.Then good. Continue paying $600 for a display panel that's comparable to a $100 budget phone. You surely wouldn't be scammed.

    MrHong, 24 Oct 2020You smoking drugs? That's a 144Hz panel.Okay it is 144Hz. How much better is it from 120Hz anyway? Most people can't even tell 90Hz and 120Hz apart.

    Also, it was just this year when high refresh rate became a standard for flagships. Not even the newest iPhones have one.

      Shadocx, 24 Oct 2020It's 144Hz, and Sony should put 4k displays on tablets... moreOkay, 144Hz. Is that anything too much different from 120Hz? Applying the same logic that you said, people can't even tell that much of a difference between 90Hz and 120Hz, let alone 120Hz and 144Hz. The difference here is that higher refresh rate consumes more power than higher resolution display. https://youtu.be/ihZdmvxLPrE

      Also, unlike high refresh rate, there are many more contents that are available in 4K than in 120fps. You can NEVER really know how much better 4K is until you actually tried seeing one in personal. People also said 4K is useless, but they were always stunned after seeing the true 4K screens from Sony and then they suddenly see a difference.
      Even more so, phones are slowly becoming larger each year, so 4K makes much more sense now than ever before.

      About the 4K on the 1 II, it is still TRUE 4K screen because it fills in the minimum standard number pixels for a 4K screen, which is 3840. 5040x2160 would be 4K+, while this is just standard 4K. It's still much higher than anything from other brands today.

              Well that's a good deal 😀
              only thing it lacks compared to current xperia 1ii is the headphone jack

                Shanti Dope, 24 Oct 2020What? I bet you'd still complain if they gave this to ... moreLg v50 is available for 300 or less, now don't tell me if this is some shitty Korean product

                  I like all the sony products except for the ugly Sony phones.

                    Another fight in sony's section.
                    I love this.

                      UFS3.0 from Xperia is much faster than UFS3.0/3.1 used by chinese phones.

                        Shadocx, 24 Oct 2020It's 144Hz, and Sony should put 4k displays on tablets... more5040x2160 is 5K.

                        OP8 Pro records 4K 21:9, it is 3840 x 1644. What a coincidence.
                        Samsung does 8K 21:9, it does not have 4320p, it is cropped too.

                          Shanti Dope, 24 Oct 2020You still use 1080p 60Hz in 2020??It's 144Hz, and Sony should put 4k displays on tablets instead of smartphones, because they're too small, QHD+ is enough at this size.
                          Most people won't notice the difference except tech people and fanboys.
                          Also I don't consider the Xperia 1 series 4k, but 1644p.
                          In 21:9 aspect ratio the resolution should be 5040x2160 to be real 4k.
                          Z5 Premium and XZ Premium were real 4k tho.

                                Gorilla 5, when even Xperia 8 Lite ($250) has gorilla 6 + IP68.
