Sony has some of the best OLED TVs in the market? Sony Venice cinema camera was used in Avatar 2, Top Gun Maverick and Wakanda? The playstation everyone knows how good it is. I mean Sony is still a great company no matter what. It's just that their smartphone division lacks proper marketing. Doesn't mean they are bad. Sony hold so much awards I hope you know that?

    blue, 23 Feb 2023With such hardware the thing is not able to go full-time HD... moreHDR is not for motion.
    You need frames to be 100% equal to stack them.

    Hold shutter on any phone (including galaxy, pixel, iphone) it is gonna disable burst. Person comes here daily and does not know this simple fact? 🤦🏻‍♂️

    ISP of snapdragon is slower than ISP of cameras. No way xperia can do 20fps raw while adjusting focus and exposure 3x per frame.

It will never be good as dedicated one but that's fine because it seems people forget that our phone is always with us, even when we don't have a plan for shooting something he is ready. Our phone is always ready to use, that's his main advantage over dedicated devices like GPS navigation, gaming consoles, cameras etc.

        Sure, I agree that most of people just want to point and shoot but what about the others? Yeah, that smallish niche of people who are interested in something more then just pressing one button which does everything for them automaticaly. Those who are proud when they take a picture exactly how they see it in real life, not what the phone's AI trying to offer us with its unnatural results. What about them? Should we just ignore they exist? I guess most of people here are saying exactly that. I don't know why. Maybe because they personaly would never take the time and effort to learn something so they think something like:
        "Why don't you buy yourself a dedicated digital camera like RX100 or APS-C as they are far better". Indeed, they are.

        But even the RX100 is a compact premium shooter which can fit in (almost) every pocket, it is still more unpractical to carry with you then a smartphone who is always with you and/or very near you. Even when people go to toillet they carry a phone with them lol. Most of times you have to plan if you're going to need a dedicated camera or not, perhaps for some scheduled events you can prepare yourself but for those unexpected situations phone is no. 1.


        Anyways, have a nice day!

            LGs, 23 Feb 2023Sony need better camera..Correction. Needs better auto mode. Their professional camera apps are fantastic as is. Trust me I have the og X1 and I've shot short films with this thing and was amazed at the results! And that was from 2019! Comparing this to my iPhone of this same year, yeah just take the Sony!

                    TV - They arguably make the best tvs available right now. Their flagship QD-oled is actually a Samsung made panel, but Sony version is better because they actually know how to process video.

                    Camera - Sony's professional and pro-sumer line of alpha cameras are top tier. Even old fashion analog people are switching from canon and Nikon over to Sony's, they're that good.

                    Audio - Sony make some incredible audio products. From high-end DAP's(digital audio players) and headphones. Even the mainstream noise cancelling consumer stuff is highly regarded overall.

                    Movie and Tv production - many films and Tv shows are shot on Sony Cine cameras. Not to mention post processing video editing as commonly done on professional grade Sony monitors.

                    But yeah, other than that they make garbage. Yep.

                    If you're merely implying in the phone world, that Sony is irrelevant, then sadly it's true. That being said I've always bought Sony phones and I will continue to. Apple products are boring and too constricting , and Samsung (and Korean products in general) have questionable quality control.

                    Sorry for the rant. I just wish the world wasn't full of sheep that think Apple and Samsung are the only 2 brands that do anything decent.

                        It can humiliate x90 pro+ and 12s Ultra extremely easily.

                        People choose phones because they can do tons of stuff, despite being inferior compared to camera, tv, music player, computer ..

                          If person wants it 100% of time, select P mode, then click on HDR/DRO (bottom of screen) to select HDR.
                          But it is gonna disable burst options and prevent using RAW.

                                  It would be great to see two zoom modules on the Sony, instead of a single zoom of 2.9x to 4.4x.
                                  Also, it needs to work on its HDR, as well as keep shooting options more automatic, along with professional features.

                                    I'd love to have 12 instead of 16GB on 5V tbh. 16GB on 1V and 12 on 5V would create some nice segmentation, which should also be reflected on the price preferably. 8GB on a 8 Gen2 flagship is stupid in 2023 tbh, esp at the current prices.
