See if Sony crack how put 90 Herz on 4K Oled screen next year know they work on just That and that give them Patent on that tech also if do that .
Sony did first Ones screen they Found out 4K they found out how get 4K in Oled just Beacouse not make Screens not Say they not Invent Tech On them and Say many not even know Those things are Sony Movie cameras Do all those Block Buster movies in They also do Best Cinema Projectors in that mean Real Cinema Projectors those go to Home cinema some years later so They Are In Less and Realy Profit Company and big Industry build up in Thailand ship TV,Sound,Cameras,Mobiles from so In Why do Sony still Build they Bigger if Not Get bigger They are Get a lot of attention in New Xperia March II line and not Little they not need do lot of marketing they get it anyway and Say Why Say to expensive Look inside Phones what is all other More expensive Phones use that is better inside are Not cheaper build phones for Sony than is for Samsung just get lot higher Pricetag in Marketing a lot That is realy Expensive and They Use Social media platforms to Hold down pricetags .
If look in Spec what is Less are Same High-end tech and lot more than most

      Man, 08 Nov 2020Why sony smartphone always overprice compare other brand,Are you deluded indenial or clueless?
      Sony is a premium brand. Look at the history from 60s.
      You class Sony as a midrange, Apple is better than Sony.
      Steve Jobs was a Biggest Sony fanatic , he use to worship Sony.
      Sony has recording studio costing £10 million
      The Pro camera are £60.000
      What world do you live in?
      Sony TV even beats the LG oleds.

I don't look at anything Exynos... Been down that road, no and no.

                  Is the Xperia 5 II work upgrading to from the Xperia 5 ?
                  I find the older version camera to be put at focusing and the colour balance not great either.

                    Sony's JPEG processing is miles ahead of Samsung. ACTUAL GRASS TEXTURE, not a smeared mess! Samsung, put DOWN the sharpening tools and come back to reality!

                          So, what about GPS quality? Does anyone even review that these days? Even though GPS quality really does vary between phones.

                            I have both Xperia 5ii and iPhone 11 pro. For me the screen brightness is not an issue as the iPhone 11 turns hot after blasting fully the screen brightness and mostly not needed as I can instead cover the screen to see under direct sunlight. I think till 550 is optimal 800 nits is overkill. Well Apple replaces the screen for skyhigh prices.

                              Nick Tagataka, 28 Sep 2020"500 nits is good enough" really sounds like a la... more"With brighter display you have an option to turn down the brightness if you need to, where the opposite won't be the case for a dim display"

                              And in most cases, you're not gonna use the full blast brightness as well, do you?
                              You can brag brightness and all that stuff all day, until it degrades and whites will suddenly turn yellowish and there will be marks of ghosting on the screen due to ghosting.
                              That's the reason why Sony screens are still in great condition even after 2 years of the Xperia XZ3.

                                Shanti Dope, 30 Oct 2020Lol, as if your comments even made any sense in the first p... moreYou presented any facts? Sorry I missed that ...
                                I know even as a Sony user I didn't drink Sony Kool-Aid :-D

                                  Not like you're gonna listen to the facts that I say anyway, so I've decided to just talk bullsh*t here, like you always do 😂

                                      Nick Tagataka, 28 Sep 2020"500 nits is good enough" really sounds like a la... moreThey will make the 1 III's screen brighter because they're going to do something to prevent faster degradation while shining brighter. It's not like Samsung that carelessly blasts over 1000 nits of brightness without taking into consideration the possibility of burn ins and degradation, which OLEDs are STILL PRONE to.
                                      HDR on OLEDs are excellent regardless of brightness. So long as you go over 300 nits, the screen is qualified enough to play HDR contents. Higher brightness often imposes overexposure on highlights, and unless you're living under the sunlight, I seriously doubt you won't be able to appreciate the HDR even on 500 nits only. They will improve that next year, of course, but right now that's not a huge issue that you should be crying about. It's not even an issue in the first place!

                                      No wonder why Samsung displays are always plagued with issues in terms of durability like ever before. S8 red tint, S9 black crush, S10 burn in, what else?
                                      Meanwhile, have you heard problems with Sony's OLED panels? I doubt you can even find one!

                                      Now is that an excuse from a fanboy or is it just an ignorance of a fool like you? 😂

                                        Fearghast, 28 Sep 2020I am well aware Sony screens are dimm and that is the fact ... moreBut you're not aware that OLEDs degrade quicker at higher brightness as well, otherwise you wouldn't have thought about criticizing Sony's choice to limit the brightness to most comfortable levels.

                                        No wonder why Samsung screens are always plagued with random issues! Ever heard of a Sony phone having quality issues with OLED screens? Ha! I doubt it 😂👌
