The algos processed by BIONZ X or X1 chip-set cannot be performed by regular chip-set as they are specifically designed to perform that task. It is not possible to perform those algos with regular chips which are not designed specifically to do that. When SONY calls all its chip-sets as Engine for years. BRAVIA Engine, BIONZ X Engine it still calls it as BIONZ X Engine in its Alpha series cameras. We all know that it is a dedicated Chip-set. It is not a simple implementation of Software. If it was that simple all TVs from different brands would have been as good as SONY which they are not because of that X1 processing Engine.

    SLSAHXOHVOMVN, 25 Apr 2020But how are you going to escape 5g network? It's going to b... moreStudies show no suspect shorterm 5g dielectric SAR effect on humans, as it causes heat and nonheat effect on only skin tissue depth of 2-4 mm. Longterm is unstudied and uncertain, but we humans are quite safe, as we measure SAR to our own liking and physiology.
    A bee is 10 mm in total, so both dielectric effects are affecting its entire body.

    So yeah, I am well aware most dont even care and dont care to think about it, and tech companies aim to make profits based on human allowed SAR value legal policies, and above mentioned human apathy, without scientificaly proven benignity for animals.

    But we will get more "sober" once those bees in particular start dying out, we will be googling news and panicking about it, superfast on 5g.
    Just wait and see.

    I myself wont participate in that by using it.

        i much prefer sharp and pioneer for display quality but those two are useless in current market

          Here's some examples of high and low end algorithms. (its for high quality video playback)

          Example of a low end algorithm
          https://www.techadvisor.co.uk/cmsdata/downloads/33653/img3File_thumb800.png?version=0%2E92%2E12

          Here is a high end algorithm (I personally use NGU standard)
          https://sakaki.anime.my/tutorial/madVRv11/scaling-algorithms_image-upscaling.png

          Both of these algorithms are used to upscale videos.
          The low end produces good upscaling without using so much processing power
          High end produces amazing sharp quality but it requires much more processing power

          So just having Sony exclusive algorithms is a very good thing. (as long as the hardware can handle it)

            OEMs choose to buy nothing extra, or extra for ex the qualcomms own audio or ISP software for them, or they code their own software into them... so price range for the SoC itself varies depending on that.
            I believe that is the case.
            On general, I believe it is cheaper for OEMs to buy the SoC with qualcomms own software code preinstalled, than to RnD and install it by themselves.

                This probably means that there is an algorithm built into a chip in the system.
                This isn't a bad thing tho. Its still Sony's proprietary tech.

                Snapdragon 865 already has Spectra 480 ISP built into the chip.
                https://techbeginer.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/33025816sst1576555386.jpg

                But I don't know if its possible to deactivate the integrated ISP and add a dedicated ISP

                Maybe a dedicated ISP for the IMX557?
                I know a phone with dual ISP
                https://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/exynos/technology/advanced-isp/
                Samsung claimed to have multiple ISP (exynos processor?)

Even today their site clearly states them as chipset and not some software implementation. You can visit SONY official site and check for your self. It is obvious that SONY is not gonna throw in full blown X1 chip-set made for TV but a shrink-ed version made for mobiles yes it did.

Are you going to go live in a cave? If you are in a city with 5g, it's all around you, nothing much you can do to protect yourself or stop others from using it.

                    And believe me, most of these ppl don't give a flying f*ck about health issues, they'll continue to use it like slaves.

                      Only delusional Sony f*ns think that. No wonder sony is alienating other people who consider buying flagship phones. No wonder Sony is losing marketshare and doing terrible in sales. Stuck up users can't help a company get back to their best days.

                              That is Only true for Samsung s20 with Exynos.
                              Rest only decrease by 10-15%. Even less if used in dynamic mode where AI handles the refresh rate.
                              Stop generalizing results from S20 for all other 120hz refresh rate phones.
