I might not need it and use it, but when 900$ oneplus 8 pro has dual gps, I want 1400$ xperia 1 mark 2 to has it as well. Or it is too much asking for 500 extra ? You got me now ?

      I wish other brands will have to choose the charging speed on the phones
      In my opinion 18w-30w it's perfect spot, but not faster than that

        Telephone, 16 Apr 2020I've mentioned before about charging rates before under the... moreLol Sony using old school fast charging technology. It's nowhere close to being a pioneer in fast charging tech. Soon they'll adopt the same tech as Chinese brands and give it some fancy name and you guys will accept it as gospel.

        Plus batteries used by Chinese manufacturers also have certain added tweaks.
        They also give more cycles compared to Sony and also are available in bigger capacity.
        So Sony phones might maximum give you 400 charge cycles before degradation kicks in while Xiaomi is giving much superior 600-800 charge cycles with bigger capacity.
        So Sony gets charged more times and degrades faster over a period of time compared to Chinese brands.

          Ppl using OnePlus, Huawei and other brands with above 30-40W charging for more than 2 years now. They did not suffer more battery degradation than others with weak 18W fast charging. Sony is simply behind the curve.

            Vineet Reddy, 13 Apr 2020For all the people who are trying hard to find shortcomings... moreon the contrary...it is a very bad idea to include 100-150 earbuds in the package of xperia 1 ii .
            I much rather use my own earbuds and that Sony reduces its price.

That's im... moreIf you read some reviews on capabilities of the xperia 1 for gps, it was quite accurate (within 4 meters in buildings) and almost as accurate as an expensive garmin handheld. As for the xperia 1ii, I cant confirm it has this, but I wouldnt go by gsma specs. Try other reviewers that go more in depth with gps capabilities.

Maybe they dont promote the feature and just implement it

Every company studies the market and makes its own decisions. Sony can add everything but the price will go up. Samsung S20 can have 4k but the price will go up. Chinese phones can be made with better materials but again the price will go up. Sony has probably decided on the price they estimate people will pay and added specifications acordingly. They have decided on these specifications and a maximum price of 1200€. That is that double GPS was ignored so that 5g modem could be incorporated perhaps

I live in high population city with a lot of concrete around me. Also when travelling is also better with dual one. Def there is difference wherever you use it.
                        Def thinking of p40pro+ or xpaeria 1 II, p40pro+ for shooting, or xperia for overall performer+ amazing design and amazing screen. Both better than p40pro+. Will be hard to choice.

Btw in all gps tests huawei are winners or top with Oneplus, which looks like have extra gps chip on their qualcomm devices or pay more to qualcomm so they add it.

                          S20 ultra has no dual gps, as a lot other very expensive phones. For God sake honor 30 pro+ has 98% of p40pro specs, costs 650eur, and has dual gps, most 5G bands, and so on. Phone World must seriously thing of Huawei more seriously

That is a better deal for many who plan to use it over longer period of time. Trust me unlike other brands which fail after a certain period of time XPERIA devices are extremely long lasting.

                                        Here is a link that will help everyone understand why fast charging isn't good for longevity.

                                        Scroll down to
                                        "Limitations to ultra-fast charging Li-ion"
                                        There will be a graph that compares battery degradation to charging rates.

                                        I support Sony's decision to limit battery charging to 1C to prolong battery longevity.
