            Swaraj bal, 30 Jul 2023Sony phones Don't sell well cz we are a dysfunctional ... moreLol this comment probably takes the cake for the most fanboyish cope of the year, and I'm saying that as a current Xperia 5 II owner. Problem isn't that Sony provides dedicated software for those who want to spend 10 minutes on each photo, BUT the fact that their main camera software is absolute garbage. Auto cam takes worse photos than 200 usd Xiaomi phones, no excuse for that. Everyone needs to take a quick photo sometimes.

              YUKI93, 31 Jul 2023Couldn't agree more. Because of him, I completely stop... moreYou may want to look "WhatGear", the way he "reviews" cameras is something rare to find.

                Just one thing I want to point.
                No matter which camera you use, have in mind that Xperia's cameras work completely contrary to practically every other phone in the sense that it makes no effort to get the exposure right.
                You can test this enabling and disabling face detection.
                With face/eye detection the camera will try to exposure for the face, with improves the results a lot, but it seems that Sony overdo the exposure a bit. The best results are achieve taping on the screen.

                It's dumb that you need to pay attention to this, tap the screen or lower the exposure a bit when relaying on face/eye detection but it's jut how it is.

                  Is there a GCam port for Xperia 1 V? I've been using it on my S23 Ultra and it's vastly superior to the stock camera app in many ways

                      Akashi Seijuro, 31 Jul 2023Good, then don't trust anyone ever for the rest of you... morepipe down lil bro i never said i don't trust anyone. I just don't trust tech reviewers and that guy. learn how to read. I am guessing that english is not your first language so I suggest that you invest in english lessons. since you have been so rude towards me i suggest you go and watch gordon ramsay's young man meme which is my reply to you for the ill will you bear against me(and finally you will never become like akashi because you have neither the talent nor work ethic). also don't poop in the streets okay?

                        I wonder how this phone isn't trending on this website?
                        I want to see 5 V and to compare with this one.

                          Gamesnic, 31 Jul 2023A beast at overheating it is for sureNot anymore. The 8 Gen 2 and 60% bigger heat dissipation means that there's no overheating issue at all. Kai W managed to get four hours of continuous 4K/120fps video without any overheating.

                            Gamesnic, 31 Jul 2023A beast at overheating it is for sureAnd where's the proof for that statement? A lot of videos on YouTube and reviews point out that recording 4K with the Xperia 1 V only stopped because of low battery percentages:
