A first impression of the endurance of the battery would be great - for me the most important factor when deciding to buy such an expensive phone.

But I'm posting on Sony phones cause it gives me the most up votes.

>>We are all consumers not professionals.
The basic Consumers are fine with 4K60 available on smartphones.
For professionals, 4K60 on smartphones is inferior compared to the 4K60 from the cameras they have.
This is why professionals don't bother with smartphone cameras for their "Professional" work.

Then maybe you will explain to us why 4k60 is such a NECESSARY FEATURE and how valuable it is to us, and why?
Maybe show us some cool videos you couldn't have made without 4k60, and we'll judge.
Otherwise you'll have to admit 4k60 capture on smarphones is a gimmick just made for the checkbox competition of a "i got more features" kind
as of me 4k60 on smartphones is a gimmich

[deleted post]I don't really think so. It's a pretty good phone, let down by high price and bad marketing. As said by MrWhoseTheBoss (he said that Sony's rep went down thanks to its bad marketing and model naming scheme).

Android Master, 30 May 2020Less than 2% ppl will install custom kernel on their phones... morestock kernel gave me 8+ hours too with the modem on.
you can go to xda or other forums and ask anyone about their battery life. z5 premium was not bad, that's my point, and with it's 4th generation of 4k smartphones, some people still believe 4k is a battery hog.
WRONG.

I'll give you another chance to correct your lies.
Coz even the Z5 compact with 720p display had terrible battery life.
Z5 Premium with 4k display had even worse battery.
Culprit was the SD810 chip which was a throttling mess that plagued all flagships that year sporting the 810 chip.

Anonymous, 30 May 2020I'm sorry what? The Xperia 1 also has 6.5 4K display and it... moreexactly, 4k of vector graphics doesn't even make any difference, back in the days i was able to get up to 10-12 hours of video playback on a z5 premium with a 4k screen, which has a massive 3530mah battery, and nobody complained about 4k being a gimmick.

why does this review feels like someone who hate sony to the core wrote it. sony abondoned the market hyped 48, 64 and 108mp sensors and went for the much better 12mp 1/1.7 sensor with fastest readout speed with better lens and the best autofocus they could provide. 108mp sensor on s20 ultra or any other phone cannot even give a good autofocus or better results. they don't have better lens for that matter. this phone camera is how the smartphone flagship camera hardware should be. not that 108mp sensor that shoots useless 8k at mediocre below 80 mbps bitrate.
you completely abandoned the fact that this phone can shoot 20 stills per second with autofocus and auto exposure.
and about that 70% autofocus coverage area in sensor. i don't know exactly what you didn't understand from that. have you even used any alpha cameras? dualpixel autofocus enabled sensor doesn't provide 100% coverage because of manufacturing and technical limitations. 70% coverage is still an impressive feature.
i am sorry, i have read so many critical reviews about chinese brands deviating from the vanilla android experience but then a company actually gives that experience you suddenly ignore all the benefits.

Why, Sony?
WHY sharing SD and second SIM on a $1200 device that otherwise can be taken into account as my favorite?
Having shortage of trays? Add another dollar to the price :-(

Anonymous, 30 May 2020Display not as bright as key competitors, the 4K resolution... morewell please share with us the links to the masterpieces of arts that you recorded in 4k60 in auto mode.
as far as i know, professionals use 4k60 to produce a buttery 24fps footage, and they usually shoot in hybrid gamma, to manually color grade the video.
otherwise it's a gimmick because there's no real value in 4k60 videos of how your kids eat sandwiches or dog jumps around the lawn

The phone and its specs looks great. However, it is too tall for me and the forehead and chin makes it look dated.
I dont know why its becoming a trend, if they want the phone to be used with one hand, why would they want to make it taller just to get a 'bigger' screen size. Apps and videos look weird with black stripes in both sides. I want my video to fill up the whole screen.
