Yeah, my point exactly

Anyways, seems the US launch of the Mark II has a setback..

No 5G support in the US

I also watch the video this morning. The camera apps is really great.

For RM4999 sure it will be tough for Sony to sell. I doubt Sony Malaysia will lower the price. Even the premium spec Oppo Find X2 Pro also people don't buy. I'll most likely will be buying an import set.

i can spend rm4999 s20 ultra for my channel and usage, but i could never spent even 3k for sony flagship....hmm..

Sell the S20U, buy the X1ii.

nope..i wont...to me is a downgrade hehe

Really la 5k?

Not 1.7k ishh?

You won't get any flagship phone for below RM2k these days

But RM5k for a Sony will be difficult, especially if they remove 5G like they did in the US.

from what i can gather from unbox therapy.. the minus on this one are:-

1. no 90hz refresh rate
2. 4k screen with 4000mAh battery
3. fingerprint scanner
4. price

Fingerprint sensor integrate with power button. Although slow but me think Sony does not want anything messing up with the display.

GSMArena has released their review of the Sony Xperia 1 Mark II

https://gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_1_ii-review-2115.php

I think their review is pretty bias. They just make a simple fast review to write it off their list.

It's probably got to do with the phone not having the final software (hence no numbers on battery endurance) and the fact that it's very expensive.

It is. I don't need 65W charging if it can last me all day. And yes it is pretty expensive. They don't have brand recognition like Samsung. People buy RM4999 Samsung but not the RM4999 Sony.

Yes, agreed. Another point also is the aftersales service. Samsung has more service centres here and better support. Not sure if this applies to Europe though, where this particular review originated from

Another video review. This time focusing more on camera and it's app.

Some sample photo from them as well.

by looking at comparison between sony vs samsung and iphone, you can see how unnatural of samsung camera output.. oversaturated for all the times.. iphone more natural but night time colour seem flat out..

overall give me choose, iphone and sony first then only come to samsung..

I never know this thread would come alive

I used sony smartphones 2012-2013

But low end models

Sony still emphasized that software optimization any day as well the awesome camera quality
