AnonD-690051, 10 Jan 2018the android source code is very huge, around 45 gigabytes. ... moreYa, i guess its a huge task for sony. They even gave up making a software for 2K phone thats also 16:9, in my logic, they only need to set all their stuff(launcher, home baked apps) at 500dpi. Cmiiw. Postponed the release twice then announced the cancelation..
Yes, this phone..

AnonD-434597, 10 Jan 2018Thanks, base on the fact that all experia have 16:9 hd and ... morethe android source code is very huge, around 45 gigabytes. we have to compile all of those to produce few binaries to be flashed into the phone's storage.
im not sure about how to implement new screen resolution, as i have never done it.
my last assignment was to implement a new device that is completely not supported by the android os. and it wasn't an easy task. i have to modify many parts of the source codes, from the lowest part of it ( had to modify the device tree in the kernel) to the highest part of it (had to make new/custom android java API to make "Regular developers" able to control the device).
Regular developers are those who create the user interface, or the apk apps in playstore. their task is to create application utilizing my new API.
my point is: adding support for new device can become a huge task. not just to develop it, but also to test it

For your information, the blindshot from your mentions is an useless gimmick because you don't know what is going to shot in the frame, it is just for kid or for funs, unlike the Xperia's Predictive Capture it capture the image even before shutter pressed because the user see the image and stacked Dram restore the images before the shutter, it restore the missed moments and now it can also detect Predictive Capture (Motion/Smile).

we (d... moreThanks, base on the fact that all experia have 16:9 hd and fhd and never added a new features, so thats all what they did since 2013, only copy pasting.
My question is, if you have all the software set at 1080p(16:9), and you need to build a software for bezelles phone with fhd+ screen(18:9), How difficult is it? It mean we need to tweak everything,(launcher, telepony, gallery music etc) to fit the resolution, right?.
Thats why sony still dont out bezelless phone, we know they already have 18:9 screen. And an exec said they will go bezelless this year but till now they still dont get it done.

Its easy for others, but its difficult for a company with cost cutting policy.

When I hear "featurless UI"...I realize who am I debat... morestereo sound: useless. stereo is unusable for tiny device with tiny speaker.
ldac: useless. only sony's speakers use this. most other manufacturers prefer aptx and aptxhd. the reason why sony give this tech to oreo is just for busines reason. they want to push their proprietary codecs to all people, so headphone manufacturers will also implement ldac. sony will earn money from these manufacturers implementation (because all ldac-capable devices must be tested/certified by sony)
super slomo: useless because it only 0.18 second
3d scanning: what is the purpose of this? almost noboby in the world need it.

AnonD-434597, 08 Jan 2018Just scroll down and everybody want tap to wake to return. ... morehi avan,
im a developer. and what you said is true.
we (developers) don't do everything from zero when we port software to other device.
we often just simply copy most of it to new device, make few adjustments, then test it. and deliver it to customers. we do this to make our development process faster, so customers can ejoy it quickly.
if customers find bugs, we will fix it via OTA updates. And ofcourse we also convert those bug reports to our "test cases/scripts" so it will never happen again to our future software release.

This is fact. This phone lack useful tap to wake feature, mine desnt lack anything, and even better in waking up the phone with ofscreen gestures. It even can take pictures without waking up the screen with only single action, it called blindshot.
Now we can move forward, to another software features. Hardware later..

Your phone definitely lacks stereo sound, ldac, super slomo, 3d scanning, and etc feats then.
So featureless...

Fboys will... moreWith the same or little less sot 4000mah with featureful ui ofcourse better than 2700 with nothing. In case youre in the situation that need more sot that features can be disabled.
Let people decide which is logical. I am here to inform theres many better options.
Offscreen gesture is lovely feature, thats help oppo and vivo to be in top 5 smartphone vendors.

Really ?, 09 Jan 2018Probably the reason sony remove double tap to wake is becau... moreDouble tap to wake only makes sense for easier accessability in three situations:
1.Either lack of combo power/fp button. (two button step to get in)
2. Or extra fp scanner on the back.(need to pick up phone from surface to get in)
3. Or lack of extra always on fp scanner on the front ( I missed on that, if lacking again two step protocol:power button and fp scanner)
Sony has none of these situations.
Single press on side combo button and you are in.
Why would anyone prefer screen double tapping instead of that?
Plus, yes, from my experience if on, it on occassions wakes phone in the pocket by accident...
