I just installed a new software update on my Xperia 1 with bouiltnumber: 55.0.A.2.278 is the 1 juni securty update i dont know what else is included in this update theire was no changelog the weigth of the update is about 323 mb

    This daylight auto/HDR difference sample from yt rev I found by lucky click on one of those numerous reviews.
    Tho the guy that made the stabilisation video tho, promised a yt video with Xperia1 HDRon daylight and lowlight pohoto samples.
    So stay tuned, if you interested in some actual HDR lowlight photos from X1.

      Why did this post trigger you?
      It shows actual HDR capabilities of Xperia1.
      Its not my fault english speaking yt reviewers do a lousy job on Xperia1 camera reviewes, so this foreign language yt link will suffice. People have eyes to see, dont need ears to understand Xperia 1 HDR photo.

      Here, this will be easier for you then:

        What part of "English Only" don't you understand ?

        You are regularly rude here and insult people here. One of the reasons why you posts get deleted.

And as i numerously stated earlier, Sony has to add more scene to be Auto HDR included, as its what our eyes sees. We see many shapes of clouds in daylight, not an overblown background mess as its provided on Superior Auto. As on low lights photography, Xperia 1 still cant catch up eventhough HDR turned on.

          For low light Videography, hands down Xperia 1 is indeed the best i've seen, minimal or no jittery effects at all, which is excellent. But sadly only on 1080p. 4k still suffers from bad stabilization.

          And about 8+2 bit display or real 10 bit, it still better than any competition as of now, which has to be credited. Xperia 1 is the best screen to date. But its not manufactured by Sony/JDI for sure. Either Samsung or LG.

            From Sonys own offical website:
            https://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/products/phones/xperia-1/features/

              With all the lousy revs out there, one has to catch a bit data here a bit there about actual quality of Xperia 1 cameras
              So, actual difference between auto photo and HDRon photo quality on Xperia1 is available on this yt rev at exactly 4:00 min in:
              https://youtu.be/bmldlog3NFk

              And actual stabilisation and clarity of 1080p lowlight video is available at this yt link:

                "The Xperia 1 has a 10-bit equivalent display (8-bit with 2-bit smoothing)" "8-bit with 2-bit smoothing, commonly referred to as 8+2 FRC (Temporal Dithering)." "8+2 FRC panels are considerably cheaper to manufacturer than a true native 10-bit display." "On an 8+2 FRC display, the image will appear to show more noise than what an actual native 10-bit display will."

                  Haters are envy because even for LCD devices Xperia have 10bit. While all other are still 8.
                  Even midranges X and XA2 series have 120Hz, while other brands offer 60.

                  Haters even say that is just touch response like iphone because they are so jealous and could not find better excuse.

                  True is, other could have too, but they dont want to offer you.
                  But charge like they were giving you.

                  That is what happens when your favorite brand sells you phones with same screens Samsung used on J series. Cheapest oled they make. That has worse images than high end with LCD.

                        Haters seem so scare of possibility that it may be true.
                        Because if it is, none of upcoming phones will increase that much from previous version.

                        Mate 30 and Note 10 wont earn more than 2 or 3 compared to P30 Pro and s10 5G.
                        Iphones wont even reach 109.

                        Pixel will use wide + ToF or Wide + ultra wide ... No way it will pass 107

                            HDR+ is just the version of Dolby Vision created by Samsung.

                            Sony phones have BT2020 gamut. Much higher than DCI-P3 and can play 10bit videos.
                            Any other device will compress to 8bit.

                            4K HDR of Xperia is HLG, not HDR10/10+.
