These reviews are just based on few days with the device but as a user I want my phone to last and be a good quality the Samsung phones had amazing reviews but those phones had so many issues even before the phone ran out of warranty period the battery was bad, the software was bad... Whereas I still have an xperia that runs good even now 5 years later and another one I'm using right now for 2 years and it has taken heavy beatings but still works fine

Android Master, 30 May 2020Every 120hz panel consumed maximum 10-15% more juice compar... moremy xperia z5 premium and xz premium which both feature 4k display could easily show 8-10 hours of screen on time.
in flight mode, i could even play 11 hours of videos on z5p back in the days.
you seem to not be aware that modems are the most energy-hungry parts of modern chipsets, and the resolution doesn't matter at all since 98% of the graphics on smartphones are in vector, not raster, unless we're talking about the videogames.
trust me i'm a java developer - you want to use SVG instead of PNG to keep the app smaller and make it work faster

Fearghast, 30 May 2020Thank you GSM I postponed my preorder. Dimm screen, batter... moreSamsung had a phone out that ended up catching fire, they had phone with in display fingerprint scanner that allowed anyone to just unlock it without verification and what's the point of Google's attempt on face unlock they forgot to make sure to check if eyes are open. It took them around 6 months to rectify that. All those phones were out on the market at the time so you can actually buy them from a store and use them they were security features and you're complaining about a phone that's still in pre-order and having testing software at least they try to release the product after testing

Anonymous, 30 May 2020You are missing the point totally. Understand and digest pr... morei'm missing the point?
Think twice.
back in 2016 Sony Xperia Z5 has 1920*1080 RGB pixels.
Same years' Samsung Galaxy S6 has 2560*1440 green pixels, 1280*720 blue and red pixels. In fact, Z5's display was twice better even though it has lower CLAIMED resolution.
Now, Xperia X1m2 offers 4k, but because of Pentile technology, there's no 4k resolution in all three colors, and only in year 2019 and 2020 the phones FINALLY reached the true FullHD which has been available to the society since 2013 in Xperia Z1, Z2, and QHD which came out with LG G3 and G4.
What is your point? You prefer.. ahem, a onePlus screen with brighter screen at HD resolution (because of pentile, there's no QHD in red and blue) in 120 hz? Go ahead.

But I'm using XZ premium..it has 4k screen in 5.5inch display.. 800+ ppi and after using it I realized the difference of 4K. My dad uses IPhone X, sis uses S9. Both are great displays.. And apart from max brightness (which we rarely use) this displays seems great. And I'm never using it above 60% brightness.. GSM said dimm display for XZ premium too.. And yes they are right technically when they compare it, but from a user perspective it's more than sufficient brightness, Infact i never face any problem in direct sunlight.. Sony has some technology, it boosts contrast in sunlight. Never faced an issue with display.. And after using this phone I don't think I'll like 1080p displays ever.

I remember back in 2005 when Sony and their partner Ericsson were leading on camera phones. Their Cybershot phones were in the top. Today you see Sony's flagship models struggling to reach even what the competitor's midrange phones offer.

Xperia 1m2 has 4k green pixels and 2k blue and red pixels. Finally an OLED phone that has at least native FullHD resolution in all three colors.
you're just another marketing victim who doesn't know what they're talking about.

But it is so laughable when some people here try to justify every decision Sony makes. If you value high resolution, get an Xperia. If you value smooth animations, get another phone with 120 Hz. Don't have to put down other brands to make Sony look good. As long as a few certain Sony fans here don't get this into their head, Sony threads will continue to attract criticism.

AnonD-546724, 29 May 2020So, actually, the Xperia 1 II screen runs at 1,096 x 2,560,... moreyou have no idea how OLED screens work.
This is 9 pixels on an IPS screen with standard subpixel layout:
RGB RGB RGB
RGB RGB RGB
RGB RGB RGB
This is 9 pixels on a standard OLED display with Pentile subpixel layout:
RG BG RG
BG RG BG
RG BG RG
Where R, G and B are red, blue and green dots.
Actually, Xperia 1 and 1m2 are the only OLED screens on the market that at least has FullHD in blue and red colors and 4k in green, whereas Samsungs, LGs, iPhones, Huaweis, 1+ and other phones with OLED screens have QHD in Green and HD in Blue and Red, or/and FHD in Green and 540p in Red and Blue.
Learn the technology next time before posting dumb comments.

Nick.B, 30 May 2020And if you don't shoot a lot photos why need good camera. L... moreComparing importance of photos with a useless 120hz, you lost me there itself bud.
CPU/GPU is not just for games. Again talking like uneducated guy
"Customers want progress..."- Don't rub your opinions on others. I'm also a customer. I don't want 120Hz at sacrificing battery and size of smartphone.
Just because guy who made this biased review could not run 4K in youtube, doesn't mean that smartphone can't run 4K. There are already Xperia 1 users and you know that right?? 4K is not a new feature like you just wake up today after 6 years hybernation. People can run 4K UHD in Netflix and run 2160p in youtube. So you can keep your hatred for yourself.
Why do you need 120Hz for watching a video? Are you insane?? WTH is colorfully HDR??
4K is superior to QHD+. Sony can run in creator mode where it covers BT2020 where none of your smartphones can do it. Also Xperia has always been have lass delata values compared to other flagships. Also accurate colours at all brightness levels. No burn ins as well. So you can keep your opnions to yourself and go to some other thread.

[deleted post]Sony is kicking ass? Where? Didn't even manage half a million sales in Q1 2020 worldwide?
Others are selling that Many units in one flash sale.
Where exactly is it kicking any body's ass?
Oh yeah they are indeed getting kicked out of countries by having to close shop since no one wants to buy them.

At first I regretted it but now I'm glad that I've gone with the S20 Ultra... looks like the "professional grade" cameras aren't all they're cracked up to be (not that Samsung's cameras are much better, but at least you have more options) and the phone is pretty average as far as flagships go. Sure the headphone jack is nice to have but I've already made the wireless transition a long time ago. After the recent update the S20 Ultra has no issues focusing on stuff either. I wouldn't say this phone is worth the asking price. Neither was the S20 Ultra, but if you're gonna spend this amount of cash on a phone, you might as well go with the more beefy, flashy phone.

When you mask them due to aesthetic reasons or simetry or whatever you want, you still use that area to the notifications, so you don't lose it. At the end, you have a bigger portion of the screen to general content thanks to the notch or punch hole and a bigger effective area of screen without the need to make the phone larger. It works. Another history is if you prefer other style. I prefer a less larger phone with equally diagonal display than these elongated (21:9) remote TV controls as phones.
