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 😂

                              Shanti Dope, 30 Oct 2020But you're not aware that OLEDs degrade quicker at hig... moreHard to hear issues on a device that has 0,1% of the market.

                                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 😂👌

                                    Fearghast, 28 Sep 2020:D funny :D Those "defenses" keep getting more ... moreLMAO it's not "what we want."
                                    Literally even you guys were able to survive using OLEDs with 500 nits a few years ago, and now you can't use one again? What happened to your eyes? Were they blinded by the inefficient high brightness?

                                    But fine. Let's enjoy that 1000 nits brightness of yours for like, uhmm....1 year??
                                    Nevermind, I want that 500 nits that's good for the next 10 years 😂😂

                                      Nick Tagataka, 28 Sep 2020What do you even mean by that?? Galaxy Note 20 Ultra runs 1... moreRuns 120Hz fine in FHD+, with a LOWER battery life despite the LARGER battery capacity 😂
                                      Twice the brightness? Sure! You use that much brightness at all times, right? I assume you're living directly under the sun all the time 😂😂

                                      Higher brightness = faster degradation
                                      If Samsung's 500 nits OLED screens already degrade within 3 years, how much more if it's beyond 800 nits?

                                      Durability over bragging rights any day 👌
