All SOLD OUT for a reason!
Posted .Features
Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Camera, Photo quality, Screen qualityCons mentioned:Battery, ChargingI've had pretty much all of the brands: Samsung, Sony Ericcson, ZTE, LG, Motorola, etc., so I'm not necessarily a Sony fanboy, but this Xperia 1 Mark II has made me into a BIG SONY FAN, especially when I got mine with the free ANC Sony earbuds via B&H! My Pros: 1) The 4K OLED 21:9 display is phenomenal! I definitely choose this over a high refresh rate. Now, I can shoot in 4K AND view videos I've shot in 4K! Also, watching 4K YouTube content is simply refreshing and a treat for the eyes! Colors and details are vivid, yet accurate and true to life, which I prefer over highly saturated, fake colors from Samsung, etc. 2) The Alpha cameras (in the words of tech tuber, Flossy Carter) are a "Major Major Major GO!" Shooting 20 fps in a smartphone is a great first to boast and I'm amazed and glad I'm able to capture fast moving objects, people, animals, etc. very sharply and focused! When compared to other flagships like the Pixel, let's just say the Mark II is a stick shift and the Pixel is an automatic. Both drive well if the owners are great drivers. The main camera app takes great photos, but I can take it to the next level with Photo Pro. It's fun to be in control and I'm able to take fantastic photos. Also, CinemaPro allows me to hone in on my videography skills and improve my YouTube content (HR-Vex). I want to make cinematic short films with my Mark II! 3) The HS Power Control feature is on point! Heat Suppression allows me to plug in my phone yet the battery won't charge or discharge. The power comes directly from the charger, so that means no heat accumulation and battery degradation while playing games, using GPS or other apps! This is innovative. Very Sony! 4) The Mark II has a good weight to it. It's not too light to feel cheap, but it's not too heavy that it would cause hand fatigue. 5) I hate notches, holes, etc., so I'm all for small bezels that house the dual front firing speakers, which sound loud, crisp, and amazing especially when Dolby Atmos is activated. 6) The overall design is simple yet beautiful. I love the flat edges and the build quality is top notch as expected from a Sony flagship. Also, I'm glad the camera array is situated on left side so when I place it on my Moza Mini S gimbal, no lens would catch any of the motors. 7) The headphone jack is back and it's very useful in my use other than listening to music with my wired earbuds. I can plug in my external microphone when I make videos. Cons: I find it hard honestly to hate on my Mark II. Sony has definitely made a great multimedia flagship. I guess the only con I have is that it's very expensive just like any other flagship these days. That's why I was willing to purchase it early during the pre-order period and wait even longer to get the bundle with the free Sony WF1000XM3. Definitely makes it a better deal and worth the wait. Conclusion: I'm very happy and satisfied my Sony Xperia 1 II is my first Sony flagship! It checked off all of my boxes, it helped Xperia finally make a profit, and it deserved getting the EISA 2020 Award for Multimedia Smartphone! Great job Sony!

Finally a Perfect Smartphone
|Posted .Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Fantastic phone. I feel like many top tier smartphones inevitably make trade-offs somewhere. The Samsung Galaxy has lots of unpolished bloatware, the iPhone Pros are heavy and unwieldy, and the Pixels tend to have QA problems with every build. I haven't found any cons with this phone, yet. I think I am in love with this perfect smartphone.

Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Sony has made one heck of a device here. The design is conservative yet elegant, a beautiful display although i wish it were a bit brighter and the camera if you are a tinkerer this is device for you. If the price were a bit lower it would be a better value

Sony is almost there to Smartphone Perfection...
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality4 out of 5Value2 out of 5Ease of Use3 out of 5This product is good and I am fairly surprised that Sony doesn’t not get any real attention when it comes to smartphone market. They have been making strides in recent years to rival bigger phone companies. I used this phone for a good amount but the 21:9 is the only thing that threw me off. Having to watch almost every single thing with black bars on the sides was not a comfortable experience & the other option was to zoom in the image which was unsatisfactory as well for me personally. That is with out getting into the $1299 price tag.
