One of the biggest selling points of this handset is considered to be the rear camera. The Sony Xperia 1 II has three 12-megapixel rear-mounted lenses. The 12-megapixel main camera uses an IMX557 sensor with a 1/1.7-inch photosensitive area and a native 1.8um large pixel. It supports dual PDAF and optical image stabilization. The ultra-wide lens with an effective focal length of 16mm is the Sony IMX363. And the telephoto uses the Samsung S5K3T2 sensor, which also supports PDAF.
It is worth noting that the Sony Xperia 1 II lens adopts Zeiss T* coating technology. It also comes with real-time tracking eye focus instead of the past eye focus. There are also real-time exposure and focus tracking functions.
In addition, the Sony Xperia 1 II retains the 3.5mm headphone jack. It comes with dual stereo speakers and DSEE Ultimate upscaling technology. The latter can use AI to automatically increase the audio frequency and bit rate in real-time, making each audio track close to high-resolution audio.
Well, you gotta admire them for keeping on trying.
Their phones do look pretty awesome on paper. And they never looked nice, they always had huuggge bezels and that square look. But they’re getting better at it. They just gotta make sure the user experience is up to snuff as well. If they can be up there with the best Huawei flagship, I’d might pick the Sony, especially now with the whole Android debacle. But Sony needs to really give it their all and come out guns blazing.
