Smithravi, 19 Apr 2021Don't be an **** Google pictures taken by Xperia 1 II.... moreYes gorgeous pictures when you need 5 minutes in manual mode to get a good enough image.

The pixel on the other hand gives you a gorgeous pic 9/10 times in Auto mode without any tweaking.

        Your opinion does not equal fact, I hope you know that.

They are inferior to three times cheaper Pixel 4 indeed. I saw it, noticed it straight away. Don't care about calibration or anything like that. Pixel 4 screen is just brighter and have better colours to my opinion. Outdoor screen visibility issue on Mark IIs is obvious. Nothing to argue here. It's just a fact.

            VectorR, 19 Apr 2021Sony needs a lot of things to fix. They have a long way to ... moreSo, the screen that can reach delta 0.8 for 5ii and 0.7 for 1ii (lower value means higher accuracy, besides xperia only Oppo/OnePlus and Apple can reach value below 1,0) to you is worse than Pixel.
            LOL ....

            If you have not been informed. People that calibrate the Xperia are same people that work on those $30.000,00 Sony oled master monitors used by Sony Pictures.
            Xperia has much better calibration than Bravia.

            People need to learn that what those sponsored reviewers call "washed out" is much more accurate than the "punchy" ..

                  Shutter button is better for me, because I can lock AF and move camera a little and make bokeh in place I want, and I can lock exposure and its more stable for me.

                    And battery life is ware more important than fast charging for most people. Just because you replace your cheap chinese phones twice a year doesn't mean people who spend decent money on actually good phones will do the same nonsense upgrading.

                              LG fans will buy these too not just "faithful fans". This article feels very negative huh?

                                    Ivan, I guess you didn't read the spec sheets. 3.5 mm headphone jack, SD card slot are both worth the wait

The issue last year was that the Xperia phones weren't 5G here as opposed to Europe (for whatever reason...not like they dropped the price or anything...).

                                      Now the newest ones are set to have band 71 and they are working on mmWave certification so I'm totally getting it once it's released. I got a Best Buy card aching for that phone.
