Food for thought.

This is only half of the story. The camera, beside producing pictures, also act as VIDEO recording.

Sony use no optical stabilization (OIS). Currently the 5-axis stabilization by them would produce the best video output. Avoiding optical stabilization also comes with some advantages, as utilizing OIS only results in videos that have a noticeably wobbly effect around their edges. You have to give Sony the thumbs up for the video department, whereby this had no competitor come close to Sony.

As a tradeoff, no OIS sensor would need lots of post processing in the still image. First it capture the image with its whooping f/2.0 19mp 1/2.3" sensor then start the image optimization, and by EIS & downsampling & adding dynamic lightning, etc etc. Every layer of post processing will takes a beat to the image quality.

I believe Sony had already had in mind what should be focus more and no doubt the video recording is what they focus more on. on the other hand they will still tryhard to make the image to be as close to the other competitor as possible. It still takes good photos to an average person for their mobile photo usage (fb, instagram, etc) whereby not much difference if it is taken that into consideration.

Yeah, in camera department even amongst DSLR, Sony is still the best in mirrorless and video record quality, which even surpass Canon itself!

Wondering how Sony phone handle overheat issue especially during camera function. My experience with Z3 and Z5P not encouraging. Have to opt for third party apps after Sony Camera apps FCed

why wouldnt sony produce 5.5 inches screen flagship phones ? btw , xz premium is no longer flagship already . It's super flagship ... I like 5.5 inches phones badly . I love big screen

Btw, this phone is damn big compare S8+ side by side

just in case anyone wondering the phone uses hybrid SIM tray, fret not. it has a dedicated SD card slot.

That's was a great news. Last week I saw on youtube use hybrid.

Nice feature that was well preserved!

But doesnt explain why their mobile phones fail to deliver good photo.

This review missing a ' /s ' at the end of it.

Missing OIS is not an advantage.

And that ois = wobbling effect comment is like an insult to their high end mirrorless that has ois.

wait, after some checking, i am not convinced again. judging from the photo, that is the frame of XA1/XA1U
XZ Premium should be shiny. hence, no, i am not convinced that it will go back to true dual SIM.

RED is the new red.
