    I don't understand why some people are so quick to trash on this phone. I find it really sad that some people seem to forget that Sony is a Japanese company, we all know Japanese designers/engineers have a completely different way of thinking. The Japanese prefer quality and extensive user control using a clean and simple design over anything else and this device has it in spades. Japanese designers/engineers always have reasons behind their choices whereas designers/engineers from America, China & Korea simply don't, they either do something because "they can" or just follow trends but there's no real reasoning behind that.

    Marketing wise, I don't see an issue with Sony's marketing of this device. Again you've got to understand that this is a Japanese phone made by a Japanese company, the Japanese don't like to oversell things. When they talk about the features of this phone they say it how is rather than sugar coating it like some other companies do.

      Just curious

        So sad with the review, after all Sony's cutting edge camera feature as its main highlight... it still struggle to compete against other phone's basic camera performance just like it's older siblings.

        It's a big disappointment cause many expected to much for its "MARK" to justify it's price. Imagine the total control on camera of this phone.

        but as a daily phone and as a pocket media player...the front facing stereo speakers, jack, exotic screen etch, for me I think that enough to compensates for its lapses and I still prefer this phone as it suited to my likings.

        to many...pls dont push your own personal standards to others. It's ok as a guidelines but it might not passed as a basis of their own judgement..respect.

          TuGa121, 30 May 2020What about the phone itself so u spend 1200.00 on a phone t... moreIt has nothing, except that it equals the main hardware, it looses on digital zoom and megapixela, wins on autofocus and burst, looses on refresh, wins on pixel density. Loses on screen to phone ratio, wins on audio, looses on quick charge, wins on manual control of camera....
          So, basically your comment was misleading. Neither is better than the other, just more suited to different users

                stefano1, 30 May 2020Ok thanks, is there so much difference regarding the photos... moreAt these prices, there shouldn't be a huge gap but some noticeable things. Xiaomi goes for the basic processed effect while Sony is light on processing leading to a natural picture.
                Also you can change that if you don't like it on the Sony (via the Photo Pro app as said in the review). And if you like playing with settings, the Sony is clearly made for you.

                  As a mi 9t user I have been tempted to compare the photos taken by gsmarena in the review of this sony xperia II with the photos from the mi 9t review.

                  Honestly, I think they are the same quality, if not better those pictures taken with the mi 9t in some cases, a phone that has cost me 270 euros (128GB 6G RAM) !!

                        I am especially interested in the photo and autonomy side, xiaomi mi 10 pro costs much less than the sony xperia 1 mark 2 but if sony is much higher I could also consider taking sony.
                        Thanks

                          stefano1, 30 May 2020sony xperia or xiaomi mi 10 pro? ThanksWhen first Xperia 1 was out, I was tempted to go for it, but the price, at least in my country was absurd, so went for a Mi 9T Pro instead. A friend of mine bought the Xperia, and I had the chance to play with both, head to head, and I can definitely say I don't regret my choice.
                          Aside of the screen/phone size, Xperia 1 has nothing over Mi 9T Pro, the camera and battery are worse.
                          And I think right now, the K30 Pro (Zoom) is a better buy, and it's my choice for my next phone later this year.

Qualcomm ... moreYou cant compare dude from experience i own notes and rog phones my brothers owns just about every experia but anyway the roh phone is 90hz and my rog phone 2 is 120hz and the note 10 is 60hz dude u can tell difference from 60 to 90 from 90 to 120 its a huge difference

                              stefano1, 30 May 2020sony xperia or xiaomi mi 10 pro? ThanksI'd go for the Sony, I've used both Xiaomi and Sony and I enjoyed Sony more. But that's a matter of taste.

                              From the spec sheet, the Sony is a more complete phone. You may pay more, but you get more for sure.

                                  All these complaint 60hz and 120hz can just stop. Qualcomm current chip couldn't support 4k and refresh rate above 60hz. So Sony give Motion blur reduction (Equivalent to 90hz) which is better than nothing and less battery hog. Watch how that stand up to 120hz
