Why why why does this phone only have a 3300mah battery, I wonder how the battery life will actually be like on this thing.
I would trade that for battery life all day every day. Heck, I'm ok with 720p on a phone. Give me a phone that lasts more than a day and a half with heavy use.
What, you can't disable adaptive resolution in the settings?
But for a 6.5 inch phone 3300mah is low.
Can't see how they would be?
Moto G7 Power with 5000 mah battery coming in spring. You're welcome :)

Unless they've added it with the Xperia 1, no you can't disable the adaptive resolution in settings.
Anyways, the phone is only 70mAh less than the Galaxy S10. I think it'll be fine.
I haven't bought a Sony phone since my Z3 which I loved. It was also a pain in the ass that only T Mobile carried and then after that it seemed like Sony didn't bother or most carriers didn't give a shit. Was wondering if that had changed at all in the years since. This phone does look sleek as hell.
Sony camera quality has been lacking for the past few years. It only got good with the XZ3, despite the fact that they make sensors for every other OEM
We'll have to wait for IFA in September and hope for a release in early October like the xz1 compact.I was really hoping they would announce a new Compact (with headphone jack). I've been wanting to replace my XZ1 Compact because one of the speakers has a wonky connection. So, I'll just replace the speaker myself. Thanks for saving me $500+, Sony, I guess.
Phonearena is your friend. I always go to compare phone sizes.Just double checked, the Xperia 1 is only 7mm wider than the XZ2 Compact and about 5mm less wide than my XZ Premium. That's actually pretty damned good for being able to hold the device one handed IMO.
I probably still won't be upgrading for another year but I like that direction. I don't have giant hands, but I'd say they're on the larger side and I can sometimes find it difficult to use my phone one handed because of its width.
Ok, I was able to find a video demonstrating the eye auto focus tech used on the Xperia 1 that's brought over from Sony's Alpha line of pro cameras:
Pretty damn impressive to have this on a phone.
Found another one that's a bit more in-depth with the eye AF and also shows off using the crazy burst shooting mode with it. It also shows off what each of the 3 lenses look like when shooting (wide, ultra wide and telephoto)
Interesting to note at the end they ask why Sony went with Dolby Atmos when they have their reality audio tech. The answer is reality audio is more geared for music and Doby Atmos is more for cinema.
Sony isn't smartConsidering how much gaming on Android has evolved over the years, they should really do a sequel to this, it'd do much better now:
Found this article where Trustedreviews spoke with Adam Marsh, Sony's sensior manager of global marketing about this phone:
https://www.trustedreviews.com/news/sony-xperia-phones-finally-getting-alpha-style-cameras-3666962
Some highlights:
The Sony Xperia 1 also processes photos in the same way as Alpha cameras, according to March. "Normally when you take a picture, the phone will then compress it into a JPEG and then add the noise reduction. How Alpha does it is that it takes the Raw image, adds the algorithm to reduce the noise on the Raw image, then compresses it to JPEG, then you put noise reduction on top. That's how Alpha is doing it. From Xperia 1, that's how Xperia 1 will do it as well", he said.
Also
There have also previously been issues with interdepartmental rivalry stifling collaboration, Marsh admitted. "Even though we're one company, there are still sometimes barriers that Alpha doesn't want to give Mobile certain things, because all of a sudden you have the same as what a £3,000 camera's got.
"Now that barrier's gone a little bit. They're saying "okay, we see that having a smartphone and camera that gives you the same experience is a good thing", he added.
Great news all around. Previous Xperia's have typically retained more detail at full zoom than most other phones, but they also normally had more noise as well. Hopefully this switch to the way the Alpha cameras do things will yield better, cleaner results. Also good to see there's confirmation that there were some barriers between the mobile group and the rest of Sonys camera arms, and that they're starting to tear those barriers down.

Is that exclusive to Sony phones?
The 10 is a mid range phone, but should be fine for most people honestly.

Why do I need a 6.5" screen in my pocket?
Whatever happened to reasonable screen sizes?
I'm hoping that the long ratio and thus number of pixels being lit sort of reduces that overall load but 3300mAH does seem to be somewhat low overall for the foot print of the screen. I refuse to believe the fancy marketing claims of their battery software solution being able to save that much battery life.6.5 inch screen with a 3300mAh battery?
Eeeehhhhhhhhh.
Looks nice I guess but an iPhone level battery I a big screened android device designed for media consumption makes absolutely no sense.
Awesome. I don't know if I'll find much use for it but I'll give it a whirl I guess.I think the app used to work on non Sony phones before, but I believe now it only works on Sony phones.

I'm guessing it's not going to be pretty, and no smart battery tech or otherwise clutter free OS will be able to make up for it. If I want to guess: Sony put the development money towards standing out, rather than into ways to put a larger battery in.The battery size is surprising indeed. I'm interested in seeing real life usage once it releases.

I wish Sony would let me pay them money for the remote play app for any android phone. It's a shame it's limited only to Sony phones that don't sell in huge numbers.I think the app used to work on non Sony phones before, but I believe now it only works on Sony phones.
