Lucy, 22 Sep 2023Can you please tell me how can I play back videos in 4kyeah just copy and save the 4K video on your phone, easy as a piece of cake, any newer phone can play 4K even in FHD, Technically Normal Eyes could not see difference 4K video in FHD or 4K Phone display but only very Keen Eyes can see the difference, they said any video will be upscale in 4K mode when display on Sony phone

            NexusScotland, 15 May 2021I love my xperia 1 II , however it feels like it's mad... moreSony is known to put a ton of oleophobic coasting on their phones and this is no exception. It does help to reduce smudges and scratches to degree. I think repelling water is what it was meant for.

              NexusScotland, 15 May 2021I love my xperia 1 II , however it feels like it's mad... moreEven though my huawei p20 lite which has klein blue color which is gradient and reflects light it isn't slipper I don't understand why people say all that that its slippery. Also I use a case because whatever glas this phone has its so fragile it fell on the carpet from my bed and it got a crack decently big

                I love my xperia 1 II , however it feels like it's made of silk or satin. It can literally slide off any surface with no intervention.

                Even when I thought I had a firm grasp of it, it slipped out of my hand, fell no more than a few feet to a laminated wood floor which caused a rather confusing and very out of proportion spreader crack across the bottom right hand side.

                This was on DAY ONE of ownership, just out the box, had not even ordered a cases of any sort.

                |I love my Sony phones, have used them for many years, but however the xperia 1 II may be, the fact that the screen cracked so ridiculously on day one, the shine has been taken away I am even considering (using sony since the old J|70's!)
                switching to something that I feel confident above using without seriously damaging it every time I take it out my pocket! VERY FRAGILE PHONE..SUCH A SHAME!

                  Very nice phone I wanted to buy but it is too expensive for me so I bought Nokia 8.3 it's perfect for me. Maybe in future I can buy Sony Xperia 1 ll too.

                    Very good phone I am satisfied.

                    Pros: screen, comfortable in the hand, 3,5mm jack

                    Cons: battery life could be better

                      like the phone but dissapointed in loss of sony photo apps and some other which i really liked and was a big part of of my Sony ownership desire. After 7 sonys in a row will probably look elsewhere now as a result for next phone. Phone works well but the multi camera at the rear gives with one hand and takes with the other my xz premium had better resolution, and better slow mo. My over riding opinion was that of dissapointment the choice of three rear cameras is good but the loss of other things outweighs this, finger print doesnt work as well, odd shape doesnt actually benifit me, sound is improved but nothing like that of samsung or apple. actually contemplation early upgrade to get away from it.

                        What a masterpiece!
                        IP68 water and dust resistance.
                        Dual front-facing stereo sspeakers.
                        No notch or punch hole.
                        Headphone jack.
                        I love it 😍

                          Wish there was an option to have the Task Switcher show open software in vertical mode rather than horizontal. Take advantage of the long screen to show all apps open at the same time for easy tapping the right one without swiping.

                            What Geekbench single core and multi core scores are people getting on Android 11?

                              Can't understand the philosophy behind Selfie camera of 8 MP

                                      James MK, 08 Oct 2020Hi guys, I'm in need of clarity on whether or not ther... moreSupposedly, Sony promised a software update that allows you to change the screen to what's on the Xperia 5 mark ii (1080p@120hz AS WELL as 1080p@60hz). So technically yes but don't know when that update is pushing out.
