@krzysztofczarnecki8238last year It' s actually mind-blowing on just howsony phones are. I' ve been looking at phones to get a new one recently, and sony say exactly what it has or doesn' t have. Usb-c video output? They even specify the resolution. Otg? Damn right, says on the actual specs page. Camera sensor types and sizes, lens focal lengths and apertures? Also right there. Bluetooth audio codecs, 2g, 3g, 4g and 5g frequencies? All well documented. Complete with guides how to hook up the phone to a tv or to a camera as monitor, for example. With other phones to find out if they have usb otg you need to see a youtube test. It is so good not to have to rely on unreliable information on phone comparison websites, and then be profoundly disappointed after spending more than monthly salary on a phone, because there was mistake on that site. ...Expand 2

@PandorasCrate03 years ago Speaking of the venice that frickin sensor, man. Captures 16-bits of color information. 16-bits! All wrapped up nicely in that x-ocn codec with a bit id="hidden15" rate lower that arriraw. Like wtf, combine science and magic much? Seriously, i just worked on a show where we had three of those suckers, and being on one of the sets on the sound stage, youd think it was twilight. Then youd look into the monitor and see what the camera was seeing, and bam! Day light! That thing captured so much, it was a point of frustration for some of the operators and dp.

@gabrielschroll38243 years ago I drooled over the xperia 1 ii for a long time, but never pulled the trigger because the review consensus was that it wasn' t bright enough, and it i think they nailed it this time.

this is way out of my price range, but i' m impressed that sony haven' t succumbed to id="hidden28"
the display looks amazing and who cares about a tiny little bezel, well apart from apple.
i love the fact that sony phones come with swiftkey pre installed and that they' ve stuck with the headphone jack.
that said, i' m personally not a fan of the shutter/google assistant buttons.
i' d always be worried about accidentally triggering them, or them making cases feel flimsy on that side of the phone!. ...Expand 1

Without those features its useless to me.
so many brands taking away expandable storage because they want you to pay more upfront for the higher capacity model which costs more than the equivalent increase sd card size would cost.
wireless charging is so convenient and i' ve set up my work flow so that if i' m at home, or driving my phone is sat on a wireless charging pad and is easy to pick up and put back down without a wire in the way. ...Expand 1
