    pre-ordered Sony Xperia 1 II with a pair of Sony WH-1000XM3, was time to upgrade from my 6 year old sony xperia z2 can't wait!
    Problem is most of these features will be overlooked by "regular" phone reviewers. Then when samsung or iphone copies it it's suddenly a revolution.
    - 4k,hdr,oled,643ppi density - the highest by a huge margin,1B colors screen, 60hz tho.. with fake 90hz,
    -21:9 ratio
    -H.S power control is a really good feature
    -you can take pictures in 20fps!
    -dedicated camera shutter key
    -3.5mm headphone jack
    -dual stereo speakers with dolby atmos
    - 360 Reality Audio
    -game enhancer
    -almost stock android UI
    -cinema pro app and photo app with mirrorless camera features
    -Zeiss optics
    -the telephoto lens has the full-frame equivalency of a 70mm lens, meaning it's actually a telephoto lens
    - Eye AF autofocus
    these are some of the features that stands out and if you pre-order the phone you get a pair of Sony WH-1000XM3 or WF-1000XM3 included !
    This phone looks like a complete package only cons are some bugs that can easy be fixed and front camera aren't that great, 60hz with fake 90hz and ofc its very expensive.

      I've had quite a few Sony phones in the past. Pretty much, the only reason I swapped to the S10 was because of the removal of the headphone jack but ironically enough, Samsung have just removed it from their new flagship phones and Sony have brought it back. I loved my Sony Ericsson back in the day and I loved my newer Xperia's. It will be nice to go back.

    I really enjoyed your review of Sony Xperia I Mk.II. Sony did something genius with its power consumption on gaming mode with HS power control. If I game on the go or watch movies from the phone and there is no available outlet, I can simply plug in a high capacity power bank and use that instead. It saves your phone's power for more important things.

    A few things about motion blur reduction as I understand it:
    1) most of the video content is filmed in 24/30fps, so even 60hz display is enough
    2) unlike native 90hz motion blur does kinda help to smooth video content and make it more crisp
    3) unlike native 90hz it does not affect battery life this much
    4) the reason 1ii doesn't have 90/120hz is SD865 doesn't support these refresh rates on 4k panel
    Please correct me if im wrong somewhere.

    • @karo3529

      Also a plague for all smartphones at the moment, none has autoframe rate to adjust the frequency of the screen to the movie playing and avoid stuttering when playing 24fps on a 60Hz.
      Ipad have this featur where the display switches to 24 Hz, hope it will come one day to android hardware...maybe having 120Hz refresh rate panel will help with this little problem....but yes i think i rather have a 4k image @60Hz instead of 1080p @24fps when needed.

      Funny enough it's the other way around on my 1+ 5T, the notification shade is dark grey while settings are black. I guess it comes down to where you spend more time, in the notification shade or in the settings menu, in the long run. For me it's notifications, these days I only mess in settings cause the 5T changes my bluetooth codec on it's own (among other annoyances).

    LOVE this mobile. Definitely my favorite mobile design in many many years. That said I really hope they improve the standard camera app too. I LOVE the manual controlls but vast majority of the time when I take a photos it will be in a few seconds. Phone out of pocket, launch camera app, select scene, take the photo and trust the camera has the smarts to nail the shot. If they can at least match camera options and quality of Pixel. Things like Timelapse, Night Mode, Astro shots etc would all be great to have. Maybe GCam will support this mobile? Would also be nice if they added HEIC support

      damn, I was hoping for a more in depth camera review & comparison (using their pro photo app vs. what other flagships can do). And since you already send them back the test unit, I don't think it's possible to do it, unless you already done such a review and it's just a matter of uploading it here on youtube :) again, thanks and great job!

    • @midnightsnack909
      @midnightsnack909 4 года назад

      @Tessoro Desoto that may be correct. A lot of other ppl who already grabbed the phone and reviewed it, only used the android built-in app, as I don't believe the photo pro app is available in Japan yet. Which means that software must be still in it's early age. Hopefully with some updates Sony will fix the poor video quality when shooting 4k, or the telephoto's lens lack in clarity. I still plan to pay for my pre-order when it comes, but I would like nothing more but to "get rid" of all that cash with a big smile on my face, instead of having second thoughts about this purchase (with camera being the main reason for me buying this). If only pixel 4xl would have had a wide angle lens... :)

    • @midnightsnack909
      @midnightsnack909 4 года назад

      @Tessoro Desoto well, in Japan they don't have photo pro app available yet, so I assume the camera software is still "work in progress" to some extent.... meaning that I really hope they will improve the HDR/4k video recording/etc. They say night mode is coming with the next update so I keep my fingers crossed to also get all of the above! having fixed that, with the true to life colors this phone reproduces, I believe it will worth every penny!

      @townofdudleysixth 4 года назад +1

      To be frank, dxomark will not use photo pro and cinema pro for their review which seriously knocks down its score. The cinema pro app can record 10-bit video in the wider colour gamut BT2020 in 4K HDR that no other smartphone manufacturers can do yet. The photo pro app with live eye AF and 20fps burst shot is unrivalled. It will probably be better to watch RUclips reviews after release for a more realistic take on cameras.

    I wish someone would do a video showing the white balance changes that you can make with the presets and how it effects the screen, and then if there are any customization that you've found that you like even better than the presets in certain situations

    I had my phone 5 hours ago and I love it. Everything you can expect from a flagship model. The audio quality is so good, crystal clear and loud. The display is just gorgeous and it feels like it was more than 60 Hz... One thing that I don't like already, the side of the phone is so slippery, without a case it feels like it's gonna fall out of my hand.
    I'm looking forward to try out everything this beautiful phone has to offer...

Keep up the good work!

    It's to late for any concerns, I preordered it the first day it was possible. Hopefully they'll soon start shipping (Europe), I'm so impatient, waiting for so long for such a device. Still using my Xperia XZ Premium and can't imagine having any other brand than Sony. All the other phones from other companies got some "features" which totally disqualify them for me, e.g. a notch (god damn, I hate those things), no front facing speakers, no headphone jack etc...
    90 or 120hz might be nice to have, but we lived years without it, so no problem. Except for Pc gamers hardly anyone ever experienced anything above 60hz ;)

    Was tempted by this but even as an amateur photographer I find it hard to justify the price (for me, I'm not saying phone is not high quality before people jump on me).
    While tempting it would only ever be a toy equivalent of a semi pro camera at best, with results in line with that.
    I really can't see much difference here compared to other high end flagship photo results from what I've seen so far, jn the end it's still a tiny tiny lens compared to even the cheapest compact out there and the sensor is about as big as the smallest compact had it about 10 years ago, no amount of software control can get past that fact.
    I also very much doubt TK Bay will be using it as a camera to film his videos, despite his enthusiasm.
    I think it will have educational value for someone wanting to learn about more manual filming and shooting without going out to spend 2k+ for an entry level Sony Pro kit.
    Though Sony is hoping that person will then eventually proceed and do just that.
    I think the approach is pretty great and something novel, but I also think that in a market desperate for originality it's also a bit overhyped at this point and would only provide real value compared to a more regular and often cheaper flagship device to a very very niche audience.

    it's more like the 5g from snapdragon chipsets in USA are disabling the 5G. it's impossible for the manufacturer to get rid the support of 5g tho except the firmware did help to disable it imo. but it's bot something that would be bothered much. 5G was sure a future mind blowing internet speed but it's still not ready until most of the flagship with chipsets are support at least with 5g mmWave.

      And yeah, no U.S. 5G bands on the 1 II is just inexcusable! This is a main reason why I won't buy it, even though I want to! They didn't even discount it to $1000 for no 5G, which is even more insulting. Also, no dedicated Face Unlock is idiotic for a 2020 flagship phone IMO. And that screen brightness.............600 nits??! The competition is offering up to 1300, or more than double.

    The reason I am asking is because in order to pay for the Xperia I will sell the S20 Ultra and of course there's is no way I can play with the phone now at least here in USA to make my decision, I know, I can always wait for the phone to be released and go to best buy to physically touch and experience the Xperia but by that time I will loose the free earphones during the pre order offer.
