babak, 04 Apr 2019i think because huawei has priscope camera which is new on ... moreNahh. I'm sure there's more to it than that. The Xperia 1 will ALSO have OIS (FINALLYYYYYYYYYY!!), which is hardware-based (vs. EIS which is software-based), and will definitely improve its low-light capability, which was already great on the XZ2 Premium (which didn't have OIS). It will also have autofocus, auto eye focus, and autoexposure, which I believe previous Xperias did not.

The question I HAVE for all of you is, how will the new design compare to the XZ2 P? The XZ2 P took pics with 2 lenses that worked TOGETHER where the 2nd monochrome lens was used to collect MORE light to add to the 1st main lens' pic and then they get combined together. The X1 has 3 lenses, but they DO NOT work together, so in a sense it's really a single lens with a telephoto and ultra wide lens option as well. But it has OIS and prob software updates.

So what do you guys think?? I am hoping Sony knows what they're doing since getting their Alpha team involved and it does EVEN BETTER than the XZ2 P, esp for low-light. We will see. But, thoughts?? Anyone???!

        Noon, 03 Apr 2019I wonder why This phone Xperia 1 not tested yet nor on gsma... moreIt's a great question Noon!

        The P30 Pro is set to be released on Friday, while the Xperia 1's release date is supposed to be May 19th. I'm guessing that is a big part of why the P30 Pro got rated first.

        What I DON'T understand is why the XZ3 which came out last Fall only JUST got evaluated by DxOMark? That's a VERY long time to wait to evaluate a phone.

        I'm almost positive GSM Arena will do a review on the 1 as they are pretty consistent on Sony phones it seems (their battery life test is still my #1 favorite vs. the rest). But I'm not holding my breath on DxOMark's review................if they even do one! lol But being that the 1's camera will most certainly be the BEST Xperia camera yet b/c of the recent departmental changes made within Sony, I would hope that between Sony and DxO that they could make it happen on time (aka IN May). I guess we'll see what happens!

                                Launch earlier, but release very late onto the market...bad strategy Sony. This phone have been overshadowed by the already on sale P30 Pro with camera goodies greatness.

                                Still eagerly waiting on what Xperia 1 has got to offer, especially its new camera setup & new algorithm by Alpha team.

                                  Still waiting for release....
