21:9 ratio? Is this a joke or the rising of the TV control phones, totally useless in landscape, too narrow in portrait. I wonder why Sony is the starter of this obscurity and why everyone else follows?

Yesterday i received the long awaited xperia 1ii and frankly I was disappointed.
These are my observations:
- The screen contrast is low. I bought the telephone in order to read nice black font, it's basically becoming greyish. comparable (or even worse) than IPS. You can say the screen is good only for watching movies not for reading news.
- The navigation bar eats a good portion of the screen. can't be hidden.
- The resolution is not crisp enough because the pixels are not square shape, but rather they are "3 RGB sprayed dots" maybe in V-shape, no clear pixel boundaries, it's rather 3 shadows not totally superposing, rending it totally a FHD+ screen only.
- Gboard doesn't work.

Geek, 09 Jan 2021Is it true? in the native camera app, it will go to 4k 30fps, but if u go in cinema pro which is pre-installed in the phone, that app will let u turn it up to 4k 60fps and 4k 120fps

Badly noticable green tint. Exchanged for new unit, and those green hue won't go away boy such a let down. Either i am too unlucky to receive defect unit twice or the display is overhyped.

Has anyone else experienced audio problems over social media apps such as Skype, Discord, Whatsapp etc with regards to sound quality being received by the other party?
I have just 'upgraded' from an Xperia XZ Premium and my partner who I speak with regularly over Skype & Discord has been complaining about how terrible the sound quality is in comparison.
I have done my own tests by creating multiple accounts and calling my PC from each phone to test the quality and the Xperia 1 II is significantly worse than the XZ Premium.
What made it more interesting, however, is that when I am recording audio directly into the phone via apps such as 'Camera' (to record video) or 'Cinema Pro', the microphone quality is absolutely fine and crisp.
It leaves me with the conclusion that something in the phone is causing these problems when working with these apps and transmitting voice data. The issues include:
- Noise gating which persists even when noise gating is turned off in the app (also wind filter in audio settings)
- Muffled sound with a significant reduction in treble above 4-6kHz
- Unintelligible voice audio when stood more than 2 feet away from the phone
- Occasional squeaks which sound like a quick feedback loop when the other party speaks to me.
All phone audio tests come back with no issues and I've followed tech support in doing factory reset. All they can suggest is sending it off to the repair centre, but this doesn't make sense, the mic clearly works fine when recording directly into the phone.
I was actually so surprised about this phone. Aside from the Xperia 1 II looking and feeling beautiful, the camera quality and audio issues for other parties when using voice communication apps is a real drop in performance. I've basically downgraded my phone and have a regularly irritated partner due to this...

Ali, 06 Jan 2021Thanks brother It means it not hardware issue Camera is ok?? yes... no problem with your camera as per your observation... but you may considering testing macro shot under good lighting condition... test the nearest shot as well, different camera configuration has limitations on macro shots, you might be shooting too near than the limitation of the lens...
