And if I don't play games let's sacrifice the CPU/gpu as well

Your logic is irrelevant

World moves forward not backwards

Customers want progress for their money no matter what % of the time they will use the new features

Let's buy not safe car because chances for an incident are 0.001% in some safe countries

Your logic is of 8 yeared boy

Or Sony fanboy p.s. defending not top screen

1080p videos in YouTube only?

I will turn on o1 ultravision engine, cinematic color option, qHD+ res, 120hz refresh, run colorly HDR video in 1440p option available always on my phone when the clip has it and you will forget about the Xperia like that. Sorry Sony, this display is poor for 1200 eur and Sony's capabilities of making panels

    Shui8, 30 May 2020Lol the Sony force strong in this one. Find X2 screen are d... moreFind X2 pro has the best display on the market right now.
    Sony Tr*lls simply can't digest this fact.

    For them every Chinese brand is inferior.
    Why don't you ask them what they feel about 90hz panel on Huawei p40 pro? You'll get their train of thought.

Both got it strong and weak points. It depends on what user needs either for gaming, movies etc. Dont desperately ask people to trash other brand around when people got own preferences.

          Shanti Dope, 30 May 2020Higher wattage is bad for battery health. Even if it's 6000... moreFake news!

                Anonymous, 29 May 2020Your oppo has 8+2 bit screen. Just like this one and op8 ... moreBy the review this Xperia OS is not astonishing so don't help me with 11 sooner then my phone.
                Also not quite sure how you calculated March 2021 for Android 11 for me. I am not mega crazy about big OS upgrades I do get small updates every month now.

                  [deleted post]I think we all know all those Chinese companies produce better phones than Sony can ever in this lifetime.
                  No wonder they are successful while Sony picking up breadcrumbs.

                  You clearly seem to be triggered by the superior quality of Chinese phones. You are so triggered that you have to make up lies about them.

                    RicardoG, 30 May 2020I have been a loyal follower of GSMarena and their reviews ... moreGsmarena isn't getting paid like the Sony tr*lls in here.
                    Besides you can leave. No one would miss you.
                    The whole Gsmarena would be a much better without Sony Brand boys who are simply delusional and can't take criticism about their brand from other users as well as the site themselves.

                    Plz don't visit here again.
                    Good Riddiance!

They could have use... moreThe main problem is, 4K screen panel in Sony halo flagship lineup already in its 5th generation. You could said that if it's first gen on Z5 Premium. It's better for them to improve the 4K availability, and if they stripped down the screen to QHD+/3K like most OEMs have done, Sony would have committed sacrilegious again after removing 3.5mm back in XZ2. It's like removing S-Pen from Galaxy Note series and putting a notch or punch-hole in Xiaomi Mi Mix and Vivo NEX series...

                          Nick Tagataka, 30 May 2020Good review, it seems that Sony managed to get most of the ... moreTo me it seems like half-baked review. All major features on it seems to be left out, which should be properly reviewed as its the main core of the Xperia 1ii. No detailing on Cinema Pro, Photo Pro, the highly advertised 20fps AF/AE, comparison with other brand.

                          The main Auto camera app definitely improve in quality compare to its predecessor, but i think this Xperia are more than that. About the late properly firmware update are blame to Sony, as they have plenty of time already. There is still no RAW support. But still, I'll choose this over Find X2 Pro.

                              I really wish they had done some sort of 3D ToF sensor in the bezel for face unlock.

Everyone can tell Dynamic vibration is unnecessary and stupid even 3IQ Sony fan boy see that. But you're telling me that no others manufacturers will try to improve the cpu performance along with heat reduction in cpu and battery when used while plugged in (Which people do a lot) like they did in laptop. Amusing

                                  Why is all the reviews same......
                                  Sony said their camera is fast.......not good with computational photography like the other bunch.
                                  There is no review of the fast shuttle speed or other goodies except from you mentioning it just in the start......
                                  If you reviewers praise S20 and mate series for their high res by cropping and showing, take time to look at the features others phones have THAT ARE NOT COPY OR FOLLOWING TREND.

                                      And as for the display colour accuracy, I'll wait for XDA and Anandtech to release their own independent in-depth analysis on Xperia 1 II's panel. I don't swallow what phone companies want us to believe.

                                        I would honestly buy this if it was around 90. Too many others offer more for the price
