    YogiBear83, 22 Jun 2020..and 12mpx is enough resolution to show photo on 4K display.You are watching a 4K panel in a 4K video ... that's the main reason why it does not work as a comparison of any "sharpness". With two visible screens you are using less than 1 pixels to show more than 2 pixels of Xperia screen.

          Specially when we talk in terms of video recording.
          For good quality maximum pixel count @ size 1/1.7 is 15mpx. Everything above will be poor quality. I know that becuase I have tested many, many Sony APSC and Fullframe cameras (from 6300 to 7RM4 and alfa 9) and 2.4 times less size sensor (apsc vs ff) is big dfferences above ISO3000.

            Considering the resolution of the phone screen, of the Youtube video, considering the compresion of the camera, compresion of the Youtube and many other aspects (the biggest one being you are watching 4K Youtube video of the 4K display ...) ... there is no way, you can tell one is sharper than the other ... well unless you are affected by placebo or simply want to add a bit of fuel to the flame.
            I am all for constructive discussion with real data.

                Dont get it why some revs bother with testing the obsolete computational portrait mode, those are leftovers form obsolete camera setups.

                  For colors, the Xperia is oversaturated; don't know why though.

                      LORD KEK, 21 Jun 2020>Makes $1200 smartphone >Touts camera features >... moreSony alfa 7Sm2 have full frame sensor at 12mpx and its the best camera for night video I ever tested. No noise at ISO12800. Sony make very good choice, bring bigger sensor 1/1.7 @12mpx and F1.7. My XZ3 have smaller sensor, more pixels (so pixels are smaller - bigger noise at high ISO) and worse aperture 2.0 (less light).
                      Every smartphone have a little noise (on bokeh) even at sunny daylight. On Xperia 1 II didnt see that.

                          You cannot read 16/25/30MP as fast as 12MP.

                                I have tested 1mII yesterday and ooh weee.. camera (Pro) is outstanding (color, noise, AF and lens bokeh) and that OLED screen... dont know what to say.

On that note, I will stop wasting my time arguing and explaining same-thing over and over again.

                                    There is a one shot of macro, where you can barely see a difference, but if you are expecting to see the result in person ... let alone on a Youtube video - he is playing compresed video and he uploaded it on Youtube that features agressive compresion you really are just "selling snake oil".
                                    You have no idea of what camera, what camera settings he used to take the video, you have no clue what colour mode was used ... but sure, go for it, make a comparison and say one is better than the other :D

Either way point of that video is sharpness and details. No where Oppo or other devices are near Xperia 1 II. If you read my comment I specifically mentioned FHD vs QHD vs 4K.

                                      PS: Colours on other smartphones are mostly washed out. I'm surprised even Samsung has cold colours.
