For some reason, a girl holding their phone in the marketing is....cool. (But let's not talk about Escobar's phones lol)

With in-display scanner you should turn on the screen and only then use the scanner (for sure until you completely remember it's location).

        So the leaked image along time ago was correct, cost cutting with the removal of the RGB and TOF sensors. Also it’s a shame it’s yet another boring design, doesn’t look the price it’s going to cost! They could have at least done something different like the Pro I.

          Lovely. I wish I could get one somewhere in the autumn. Only confusing thing is that Sony doesn't sell their phones officially in Ukraine.

            IMX858 is 1/2.51", which is smaller than the current 1 iv's 1/1.7" IMX557. I doubt that'll be the primary wide camera. After all, it's ironic having it with a smaller camera sensor than its predecessor. An ultrawide camera would make better sense since the 1 iv's ultrawide camera sensor is 1/2.55" IMX563. I'd be surprised if IMX858 ended up being the telephoto camera.

                  jamalu96, 01 May 2023does the stacking helps increase in pixel size without incr... moreAccording to Sony Semicon documentation the pixels are essentially 2x bigger, giving the same performance (signal to noise ratio and dynamic range) as a sensor that's 1.5x larger (as sensors are measured diagonally). So the IMX 858 1/2.5" sensor will have the same quality as a 1/1.25" sensor though this sensor is rumoured to be used in the Ultra-Wide camera.

                    DarlingYext, 01 May 2023That is strange and freaky. Sony needs to learn, that they ... moreTheir PlayStation 5 has sold over 30 million.. they can advertise their phone there. I even think PlayStation users don't know Sony makes phones too.

                    I just want them to go back to making low end phones.

                      It feels like a Sony ad, good or not that is saying something.

                      But even if the ad was best in the world each time, Sony phones would still stay niche sadly, even in japan.

                        Are they going to also release 5 V together with 1 V?

                          That is strange and freaky. Sony needs to learn, that they have to advertise their phones to sell them, but they also need to learn HOW TO advertise.

                          This ain't it chief.

                            Hanif Fikri, 01 May 2023No sony phones ubless they used 19.5 aspect ratio or lower..So that you do not enjoy cinematic films in their original size, or you do not like to use multitasking screens in a larger coverage area?
