If by real optical zoom lens you mean the likes of Samsung Galaxy Camera or Samsung Galaxy S4/K zoom, I can agree. No one still try to resurrect it to this day, including Samsung themselves.

"That's all you needed to say."
You don't even bring up any source to back up your baseless statement. Try again next time.


"...yeah? Why wouldn't you be able to?"
Please, most people can't still even tell difference between 1080p and 4K.

"Why are you mentioning them specifically? Comparing trash to trash doesn't make it any less trash. Even ZTE has phones capable of 4K120 in addition to 8K30."
How to tell people you don't know how to use camera without telling people you don't know how to use camera. 🤭

"Who even uses burst mode."
Please, my friend who use Galaxy S23 Ultra and iPhone 14 Pro Max are super jealous of my Xperia 1 iv's 20fps focusing. They even said that Samsung and Apple should copy it.

Just last Monday, Juan Bagnell talked about it in his Twitch stream (which is also cross-hosted Best Of Our Week channel). He said that the Xiaomi 12S Ultra didn't record 60fps video natively. When he exported it to DaVinci Resolve, the file read 45fps. You can watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/live/pmiBItWhsj0?feature=share&t=5563

        Except those phones actually drop fps in order to keep recording longer. Sony actually records it continuously at 120 fps which is why they don't record as long as the others.

          You're clearly suffering from brain rot then. I didn't realize you were talking about the number of cameras only. By that logic, everyone copied HTC or LG. Also what comment are you referring to?


          "They copied Apple, admit it fool. Sony fanboys never fail to disappoint."

          They didn't, they had their own design gook. Next, specify what you're arguing. Are they copying the entire design language or just a specific part like the back of the phone?

          Also, everyone borrows from everyone else, why are you crying about this? Everyone copied Sony since they were the first with 4K video recording, nobody is crying about that.

            Anonymous, 03 May 2023Even the latest A54 and A34 has 20:9 screen.lol nope, it has 19.5:9 aspect ratio..

              Reds, 03 May 2023We will see who copies who. Xperia 1 IV is the first phone ... more"Xperia 1 IV is the first phone to have real optical zoom lens"? Wrong. Real optical zoom lens equipped phones have been around for years.

              "So they copied apple? Okay maybe." That's all you needed to say.

              "643 ppi nearly double that of the iphones." He said 700. And I've never said I liked iPhones.

              "can you even play back 8K content on an 8K screen?" ...yeah? Why wouldn't you be able to?

              "And Xperia shoot 4K 120fps Samsung, vivo, iphone doesn't even offer this feature at all."? Why are you mentioning them specifically? Comparing trash to trash doesn't make it any less trash. Even ZTE has phones capable of 4K120 in addition to 8K30.

              "Plus 20fps burst" Who even uses burst mode. I obviously can't find any information to counter that point because literally nobody uses it. I saw all 5 of Sony's fanboys obsessing over this a couple years ago and that was the end of it. I'm guessing you were one of them. How about, if you want to make a point that this aspect is better, actually prove it's better rather than going "which I believe is the highest".

                    2160p yeah sure it records 4k but then again, can you even play back 8K content on an 8K screen? These are quite expensive and if you have the money to buy an 8K tV then go buy your Samsung. I believe even iphones don't shoot 8k.
                    And Xperia shoot 4K 120fps Samsung, vivo, iphone doesn't even offer this feature at all. One plus offers it (although it can't maintain 120fls through the whole video, Sony can) it's only for 1 camera while Sony offers you this feature on all 3!
                    Plus 20fps burst which I believe is the highest rn on all 3 sensors!

                                Since this article, someone posted at r/SonyXperia about the alleged spec of the 1 v (https://www.reddit.com/r/SonyXperia/comments/134e4d7/seems_to_be_xperia_1_v_specs/).

                                Take it with a grain of salt since some of the specs are outright optimistic like 240W wired charging and USB4.

                                      700 ppi? It's been half a decade since Sony sold a phone with display resolution that high.

                                      2160p? Literally every half decent phone is capable of shooting in 2160p. I mean you're pointing out a flaw here. Their phones are still only capable of a maximum resolution of 2160p instead of 8k like tons of other manufacturers.

                                      I will commend them for the SD card support and headphone jacks though. And I appreciate them not resorting to ugly holes or notches in the display.
