      To the haters:

      A guy on youtube that reviews TV is expert on display calibration.
      He says:

      1: delta avg 0.78 , delta max 1,55 ..... Custom (66 red, 39 green, 0 blue)
      Note 10+ : delta avg 1.98 , delta max 3,34 Natural mode (most accurate it has)

        Tann Hauser, 23 Apr 2020They need to feel "futureproof"... for the year of our Lord 2040.These ppl that need 12/16GB ram because they want to be "futureproof" are the same that buy new phone every year.

        They forget there are ppl that do not want to turn the phone into Xbox/PlayStation.

          SLSAHXOHVOMVN, 23 Apr 2020It's true 10bit display capable of displaying 1B colors unl... moreXperia 1 has delta 0.8. Watch any video with other phones beside any Xperia (1, XZP or XZ2P), they will all look midranges displays. Including Samsung amd Apple. Feel free.

          So you want a screen with more than 6 million pixels to push to be as bright as screens with 4,5 or less. I supposed you knew that brightness is harder to push as pixel density increases.

          I also suppose you know that as you increase brightness, the burn-in comes sooner. I can use my old LCD phone at 790 nits all the time , nothing will happen.
          Do it with an oled screen, I dont give you 2 weeks for burn-in.

          There is no oled tv with 1000, 1500 or 10000 nots like LED ones. What a coincidence.

          Go read any article about xperia pro. Photographers exicited to use it as screen since cameras do not even have a 720p LCD. Never heard pf one that uses Galaxy or iphone for it.

          Displaymate has so much credibility. Never pointed out the issues galaxy have to display white, green and gray without yellowish hues or reds without orange hue.
          How can the famous London Bus become orange on galaxy screen?

            SLSAHXOHVOMVN, 23 Apr 2020What's the excuse for not providing 3k@120hz as done by One... moreBecause who buys this wants 4K.
            Would you buy a 4K tv to watch just 720p content?

            Look at the tests:

            1) Find X2 Pro loses: almost 3h of web browsing and about 2:30h of standby

            2) S20 loses : 2:52h video playback, 1:05h web browsing, near 3h standby

            3) s20+ loses : 2:05h web browsing, 3:39h video playback , about 6:20h standby

            4) s20 ultra loses: 1:36h web browsing, 3:42h video playback, about 4:42h standby

            Weird to me the fact that in 2016, 2017 and 2018 none felt bothered by using phones with 60, now same ppl do. None cared about Razer and Sharp phones years ago offering this.









              Telephone, 23 Apr 2020I used to have 32gb of ram in my PC now I have 16gb with ... moreI did some research and can confirm Xperia 1II does use LPDDR5 RAM.
              https://idomizu.dev/archives/4093
              although this is the Japanese unit (SOG01), We should expect the same specs (besides the 128gb storage)

              The article is actually about the Cirrus Logic audio chips (amplifier)
              https://www.cirrus.com/products/cs35l41/
              If anyone is interested in that cs35l41

              I wanted to make sure because OnePlus 8 Uses LPDDR4X and OnePlus 8 Pro has LPDDR5

                  Anonymous, 23 Apr 2020i honestly don't understand why people need higher ram capa... moreI used to have 32gb of ram in my PC
                  now I have 16gb with a i7 9700K
                  More ram did not improve computation speed(it helped a tiny bit when video editing), But it it supposedly gave me more potential to store more data in the ram.
                  Guess what, most of the time, even when gaming, the ram usage was always less than 10gb usage(maybe up to 14gb if I had other programs open). Only time I ever used alot of ram was either, 1. dedicating ram for virtual machine (gave a machine 16GB) 2. rendering videos using CPU 3. dedicating ram for a RAM DISK .

                  In ARM based system, too much ram doesn't really do anything, I think its just a waste of money.
                  It would be better to use quality RAM than more RAM

                  8gb RAM with low cas latency and higher clock speed is better than 12gb RAM with lower clock speed

                  Qualcomm 865 supports 2 different variants of DDR memory controllers
                  1. LPDDR4X @ 2133MHz
                  2. LPDDR5 @ 2750MHz

                  I checked Samsung, S20 uses LPDDR5. I would only find the 12Gb useful if the S20 is put in docked mode. Maybe it might help if you have a bunch of apps running and you shoot 8k video. Other than that, its still a bit too much ram IMO.

                  I also wish docked mode was available for all phones. I've been able to enable it on my Xperia 1 thru developers option (connecting display, mouse, and keyboard) But I wish its more desktop like, than looking like a tablet.

                  Does anyone happen to know the ram specs for Xperia 1II? besides it being 8gb

OP8PRO display is amazing, but Sony Xperia 1 mark II has amazing display also. I like both, that's why I got OP8PRO 3 days ago and waiting for Xperia 1 mark II. I gave my Xperia 1 to my wife. I do have 3 phone lines for work, so I still need another phone (Xperia 1 mark II). I don't care what people will discuss here. I'm still getting Xperia 1 mark II

                        Smithravi, 21 Apr 2020Also on OP 8 Pro, It's not true 10bit display it's still 8+... moreIt's true 10bit display capable of displaying 1B colors unlike Xperia 1 which maxed out at 16M.
                        Plus Xperia has dim panel, not even reaches 400 nits and 800 nits on full auto.

                        Display Mate called that OnePlus/Oppo 120hz panel indistinguishable from prefect.
                        Sony will never get that title.

                          i honestly don't understand why people need higher ram capacity up to 12GB on smartphone. Does android really used that much resource? even bloated windows on pc still works fine for normal usage with 8gb of ram. can please someone enlighten me, what kind of android apps and how many apps you have to open/multitask to really used up that 12GB of ram

This is Android, not supposed to be barred from freedom like iOS.

                            Besides, it's Easy to watch 8k video on 4k TV using SmartYoutube and other YouTube apps.

                              Devil , 23 Apr 2020Why do you make up lies? It doesn't have 4k display and scr... moreAre you high?? Sony indeed has 4K. Go read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4K_resolution

                              "Note that both Motorola and Sony chose to use a screen resolution of 2520×1080, rather than the CE resolution of 2560×1080, as defined in CTA-861. This leads to the device to have a "true" 21:9 (7:3) Aspect Ratio, rather than the normal CE Aspect ratio of 64:27. The Xperia 1 also has an odd Aspect Ratio of 320:137, and would have been able to meet 64:27 with a more even resolution of 3840×1620. Sony does not adhere to consumer standards, as with their Home Theater projectors that feature a 4096×2160 4K resolution, rather than the CE resolution of 3840×2160.[36] 4096×2160 is a resolution only relevant in digital cinema (DCI), where movie theater projectors feature this resolution with either letterboxed 4096×1716 or pillarboxed 3996×2160 content for "Scope" (2.39:1) and "Flat" (1.85:1) aspect ratios, respectively. The full panel aspect ratio of 256:135 is unfit for normal consumer content with a 16:9 container aspect ratio. "

                              Don't confuse yourself with 4K UHD with other types of 4K.

                              Sony 4K display runs at 90Hz equivalent refresh rates. Touch sensing is observed to be 120Hz during games.

                              Last year Sony 3300mAh did onpar with 4000mAh chinese and korean companies. Apple uses less battery capacity and 4Gb ram too. It all comes to the point of optimization and ram management. If you read PS in my commnet, i clearly mentioned that don't be a foool and fall for numbers. Last year 6GB Xperia did onpar with 12GB OP and S10 plus. Definetly this year 8GB will go onpar with 16GB S20 Ultra. Just watch hold yourself until reviews come out :)

                                  There are many types of 4K, having one side of 2160 is not required.
                                  There are cropped ratios.

                                  The phone has 2,33:1 ratio. If you apply 2160 , it would have 5032 x 2160.

                                  1) CPU does not support all that pixels
                                  2) That is 5K already

                                  Yes, most Xperia since the debut of X series have 120Hz, but locked by Sony.
                                  It was discovered by XDA, then AndroidAuthority asked Sony if it was true and got a YES from Sony.

                                  SD865 does not allow more than 60Hz for 4K, so no matter who uses. You cant have 4K + 120Hz same time. Pointless to do what Samsung provides.

                                  www.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-xz-premium-hidden-120hz-screen-mode-razer-phone/
                                  www.androidauthority.com/sony-xperia-120-hz-display-mode-853299/

                                  Read the XDA statement, you will see that even midranges have.

                                  By the way, youtube app does not allow you to use resolution above of the screen the device has. You need 4K to set 4K. Otherwise it would be stuck at 1440p.

I know that personally I prefer resolution over frame rate. And if the 90hz motion blur works properly then better still

                                        What he wrote about the screen is true to the point.

                                        Battery is big, and its BatteryCare tech is worth every penny of it, cause it will degrade only about 10% after over 1000 charge cycles.

                                        8Gb ram is, proven by tests, even more than needed for any task or multitask.
