Please tell me why I didn't get anything like that shooting on numerous Huawei, Samsung, Google, Apple devices? It's stupid to suggest that I deliberately presenting Sony in bad light. And please don't tell me bullshit like "Xperia 1Ii /6II should be treated like cameras, not point and shoot phones, bla-bla-bla" because it's still just f****g phone!

      LucasN82, 20 Apr 2021Hahah I saw those pictures and You must be joking man :D Yo... moreAutoMode in PhotoPro. Huawei pays me enough, don't worry about it ;).

        ..and that photo when you walking and trying catch at ISO2500 and 1/15 stable picture :D
        U make my day. In terms of fake u should get an Oscar.

          LucasN82, 20 Apr 2021Really, you impress me. I didnt know that any person can ma... moreDon't impress by me, be impress with "amazing" Xperia 5 II :). Again, I took photos the same way like by any other smartphone. And I have a Canon 5D mark III, I know what to do, you know. So there is no my fault here... Perhaps, something is very wrong with "gorgeous" Xperia phone.

            LucasN82, 20 Apr 2021I have check Exif data 1. That photo with women and child:... moreAll photos are made in PhotoPro auto mode. Waht you see isn't just one offs. They're the best of bad ones. Heaps of photos I just deleted straight away. Never got something like that from any Pixel phone, even a very first one. So I know what real Sony photo quality is :).

              LucasN82, 20 Apr 2021What site and which thread? I was searching on xda-dev site... moreJust go to xda-developers Xperia 5 II device forum -> Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers -> "Where is promised (and expected) Alpha team tuned photo quality? What's wrong, Sony?!" thread.

                VectorR, 20 Apr 2021https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/where-is-promised-and-ex... moreI have check Exif data
                1. That photo with women and child: ISO2500 and time 1/4 and you are walking with phone and try make night photo?
                2. Photo inside bar, ISO320 and time 1/15? Inside bright room?
                3. Photo with flower ISO640 and time 1/15? O_O At day man? At day? Its trully hard to catch non blurry photo below 1/15 in any system in the world. Canon have good optical stabilisation and sometime is posible to make 1/8. When you shot at day always keep time > 1/160.
                The Answer is one, maybe u dont use Photo Pro or u make those photos in manual mode (and you know nothing about composition), or google photo app is garbage. Its really strange bro because my worst photo is 3x better than your best.
                60% of your photos looks like you did it on purpose in manual mode. I can make ugly photo in manual mode on every camera.

It would be good if more people see this "marvell of photography" Mark II. It's a good thing to stop people buying crap, wasting money on a thing which isn't worth it. Also I'll upload few photos from a phone I have for resale right now - Xperia 5. Main camera on it is just utter disaster. Just please don't tell me that I've got faulty phones. I heard it before from Sony fans before, not once or twice. Even if really have got faulty ~$1000 Sony phones... you know what it means :).

                                      Look at "high dynamic range gray-scale" and then come back. More bits per subpixel = more grayscale levels. 10-bits means 1024 levels. Better grey accuracy = better uniformity of color levels.
