1) it's 21:9
2) it's got high resolution, not refresh rate
there are comparisons on youtube where you'll find that 4k gives more detail even when just watching youtube.

there are many things a display can do, but there is no 4k@120 with accurate color reproduction at all brightness levels up to 1100 nits, so Sony chose what they think their target audience needs, and I am one of them - I am happy with 550 nits and high resolution, considering that I own an XZP and I play VR games on it I see no problem with 60hz refresh rate even on my IPS and lots of people do not too.

Just like lots of people don't notice difference between 4k and qhd, and even between fhd and 2k, so let's just agree that different people need different features and this phone has a very clear targeting and all its features have purpose.

    Nick.B, 02 Jun 2020There are 65W powerbanks but your phone tops at lets say 25... moreBy the way LG G7 has an IPS display that scores up to 1100 nits and doesn't burn out since it's an IPS.
    who was talking about an oppo with 800 nits as if it was something outstanding? Pffff.

      I have seen the this phone's camera samples here and on dpreview. They all look as oily as photos produced by all other small-sensor cameras.

          Ans. It's a choice we should make, not the company. For amount I paid, it better be able to do everything other phones do, and better. My phone, my choice, not the company's
          3. 1+ users also choose 60hz to conserve battery so what
          Read prev ans.
          4. samsung also notifies you to keep your brightness lower than 90% or your screen will quickly degrade, SAMSUNG KNOWS YOUR SCREEN WILL DEGRADE, boy it's a fact.
          Read Previous answer. I want my screen to degrade, why is company so concerned, it's job is to notify, not restrict
          5. people buy features they need; some value better or, if you don't believe Sony, say, at least same color accuracy at all brightness levels over just top brightness alone
          Ans. you refuted the first 4 yourself dude... what are you doing? Plus we can calibrate samsungs too you know...

          i don't know why you're still commenting here if you don't like this phone
          it's like you ran four blocks after m to tell me how much you don't care about me
          ->So is it an onlyfans page where only brand loyalists come and extol phones? the loyalists are primary reason brands get destroyed. This phone is pretty good, not gonna lie, but sony prioritizing higher resolution over HRR seems weird choice to make in 2020. Even a 90 would be fine for all it is QHD +90 with 100-150 lower price tag would get this phone lot more praise and sales besides panels being cheaper to make en masse since they are already being made

                    Well, there are brands that charge way over 1000 euros and give no gift with the phone.
                    Not even counting the fact phones with no sd slot, no Qi charging, bad speakers, no 10bit recording, poor updates (if they get new android), photos look like wax, useless waterfall screen and do not bring anything new to mobile tech community.

I am defini... moreFast charging above 18w and especially at like 65watts is still pretty rare in 2020, i mean samsung only introduced the faster charging this year, so i wouldnt expect it to be so widely adopted, (also now that i think about it, there really arent that many actual brands left anymore theyre all the same chinese phones with a different name)
                        Sonys battery management seems to work pretty well so i a smaller battery usually works for them.

                          Android Master, 02 Jun 2020Huge difference between TV Oled and smartphone Oled display... moreIt is a fact.

                          Any oled phone or tv will have burn-in soon or later.
                          There is no way to prevent the organic compounds from oxidation.
                          This leads to burn-in.
                          Also Blue will die first, giving the reddish aspect to the screen.

                          That is main reason is pretty rare to see laptops with oled. Menu of softwares like Office and Games will made it worse.

                          This is why Sony and Samsung are investing in microLED bigger panels, to keep the infinite contrast without the many weaknesses of oled.

                          Oled is a failure ......

                            Anonymous, 02 Jun 2020Even expensive oled tvs have burn-in. www.reddit.com/r/... moreHuge difference between TV Oled and smartphone Oled displays.
                            They are designed to work in different conditions. The power they require, etc.
                            Can't compare the two.

                            Besides even their the quality of panels arguments still holds true.
                            Cheap panels will get burn in early.

                            All links can be part of a bad batch that users got.

                                  Besides, I have used plenty of smartphones over the years, mostly flagships.
                                  Never got burn in issue.
                                  Used plenty of Samsung Oled panel sporting flagships. Never got a problem.

                                    That is competitive.

I am definitely interested in this device. But I am not gonna buy it for 1200 now. I would rather wait a few months when the price would come down to 900. I am willing to pay 900-950 for it.

                                        Nick.B, 02 Jun 2020There are 65W powerbanks but your phone tops at lets say 25... moreThey have kept the panel at lower brightness to conserve battery.
                                        They have downgraded from 4k to 1080p regularly at various instances to conserve battery.
                                        They have requested Gsmarena to not reveal battery results. (which Gsmarena agreed to And yet Brand boys say, Gsmarena is biased)

                                        Still this shameless company doesn't want to put 5000mAh battery and gives piss poor 21W charging in 2020 which takes 2hrs to fully charged.

                                        Inferior technology at 1200 dollars.
                                        Some ppl simply want the best when they are spending 1200 Euros.
                                        Not gonna settle for year 2016 fast charging.
