But, as from leakster info by a certain known webshop employee, 1mark II has atm 11x more accounted interest than 1 had a year ago.
So they should release it ASAP.

The differences between Sony Xperia 1 II (mark 2) DSEE Ultimate and DSEE HX are:
DSEE Ultimate can use AI technology to intelligently improve audio quality and focus on improving the performance of high and low frequencies;
The new technology can also analyze and improve third-party online streaming audio; and whether it is wired or wireless Bluetooth headset.
Headphones must support Hi-Res Audio or Hi-Res Audio Wireless certification."
So, near hi res sound with whatever you listen, be it on ytube, dezzer, your own mp3/mp4...
Great stuff.

I think this phone is ridiculously pretty. Nice square block, but the corners have only a subtle curve so it doesn't look like a toy. Thin, symmetrical bezels; thicker than a lot of the competition but I'd take this over a notch/hole-punch/etc any day. And most importantly the front is F L A T - no silly curved sides! I would totally rock this phone without a case - if it weren't for the fact it's 99% glass and it will absolutely slip from my hands and crack lol.
In terms of pure aesthetics, its only competitor is the iPhone 12, from leaks they're going for that iPhone 4/5-style shell. But I prefer the Sony, because it doesn't have a notch.

Its unfortunate how horrible the comments are on this. The phone hasn't been release or reviewed, yet everybody has very strong opinions. I came here to see if anyone had leaks or updates, but its just a bunch of fighting over a company they can buy (or not buy) from. Your options aren't limited to Sony. If you don't own one and don't plan to, whats the point in fighting with someone who wants to buy the phone. Buy the phone you want and leave reviews that actually help other potential buyers.

Very ugly phones are Google pixel, iPhones 11s and Samsung Galaxy s20 (so wide brick for the camera). Sony makes the phones Xperia 1 and 1 II) so accurate and simple. You look at it and want to hold it

[deleted post]Sony eye detection is the fastest around and their decision to opt for a larger sensor instead of upping the megapixel count should help them produce better quality pictures. The Zeiss optics should also help them compete with Huawei and give them a decent DXOmark score. These Xperia 1-II and Xperia Pro are geared towards photographer”s and videographer's and not those just interested in the odd snap or selfie. If you want a point and shoot phone, you'd be better off looking at the new iPhone and Samsung Galaxy models. If you're prepared to play around with the settings and shoot in manual mode, you can achieve great results. I'd rate the flagship Xperia's as the best alternatives to Huawei's P40 series as the Samsung and Apple phone's are too AI centred and produce less natural shots.
Few other Features you don't even see in Samsung/OP:
-4K HDR OLED
-SD865 unlike lousy exynos 990 (SD by Samsung is only in USA)
-Front facing Stereo Speakers
-20 AF/AE Bursts
-3.5mm headphones jack
-360 Degree Audio
-4K HDR recording
- Alpha Cinema Pro and PhotoPro
-Largest pyhsical Pixel sensor size on a Smartphone
- 21:9 Display Ratio
-Handsome design without ugly notches/puncholes
And i can continue the list so on

[deleted post]Geez! Your hate is real. I haven't even texted about Sony's dominance. As a matter of fact I use Xperia 1. Sony Mobile wasn't doing well, who doesn't know- even Sony admits. However they are gradually righting the wrongs.
And if you don't know, their paradigm is harnessing the prowess of the various departments and producing products for "creators".
My only problem with the xperia 1 is, it doesn't offer many creative functionalities. The cinema Pro app limits you so much.

Durability?
Ergonomic advantage?

Flgshp2020, 23 Mar 2020 They don't have the money to invest in foldables right now... moreExactly. Look at the old Sony phones that the fanboys have here. They are just dreamers and can't afford any recent flagship phone.
The leading big brands are there from building quality phones, best new technology, listening to their customers. Hence they have big sales numbers and profits. These leaders are investing heavily in the next trend of foldables.
Sony always just sits back for 2/3 years and follows the trend. Look how long Sony took with multiple cameras and Oled screens. The facts speak for themselves.

Lot of Sony brand loyalists on this website yet their sales don't reflect the same story.
