[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] cletusindia:
my two cents - from Ex-Note user

1. Sound - Xperia Speaker is definitely more clear and has no distortion

2. Display - Both are good (No notch but both have bezel - In the race for all screen these two are not competing). Note 9 is definitely more brighter but the colors are just too much and over saturated, you can switch to the standard colour profile but still not accurate. Xperia is above average for brightness but the screen colour is just awesome and pleasing.

3. Camera - Both are not the best (But Note 9 has potential for GCAM mod, Xperia till date doesn't - Don't want to jinx it, but it may be a while before we get it either). The camera does have very accurate colors and the 21:9 video profile looks great on cinemapro. The camera basically comes down to your own taste as someone mentioned Samsung has very pleasing artificial colours, Xperia is more true to life and also has the super awesome AF for people photography. But note 9 has the variable aperture on its side

4. Battery again above average really depends on your usage, i do get a days worth battery when i am at work and less when travelling and using the display more (media consumption)

5. The LDAC and other codes are great when connecting to audio devices which use them (I am loving the WH1000MX3). Samsung i believe has only aptX and SBC (for most general Bluetooth cans).

6. S-Pen : something sony can never win, so if it was a part of your daily use, you will definitely miss it, i know i did when i moved from the Note 8 to a iPhone before the Xperia 1.

My colleague has a note 9. So could compare hardware, also i had the note 8, so the difference in usability is something i can comment on.

Hope this helps, overall both are great phones and the SD 845/Exynos and SD 855 - has marginal performance difference in real life use.

Like for all phones, anything can be done with updates, the only thing to know is if it's treated as a problem or a feature. Mate 10 Pro I had was really heavy on post process and thus the photo were really not realistic at all. Some liked it, some didn't. There were no update to correct it, even if mate 9 and mate 20 were far better and lighter on the post process.

So it's Always difficult to know if the future will change anything when you don't like something. For example, the fact that hdr/IA is disabled when focus is set by touching the screen where we want, and the fact that you can't disable IA manually without using the touch to focus thing, I cant possibly think they did this without thinking about it. So, it's the result of whole design process that lead to this choice. It's then hard to think they will change the way the app work because they already thought about it. (Luckily since there is a two step photo command button, you can do like with a classic camera to do the focus where you want without touching the screen, but it's not "smartphone user" friendly). Ho, also you can't tap to focus if you enable capture when smile detected.

Well, this long text to say maybe they will change the way it works, maybe not, it's not what we can call a bug.

About the screen, it's nice. I can't say about the samsung's one. A lot of labo test and review seems to say the S10 phone have a slithly better screen. It's true that out of the box the white balance is off on the Xperia 1, but you can change it to your liking. From what I saw in some YouTube video, the smasung panels are less natural and more Poppy colors, but we can't know for sure how the settings are set on both phone. It's like comparing two tv on a mall without having access to the settings to properly calibrate them. My advice here is more to not take what you see on YouTube like the graal. The screen is good and can be well calibrated. Doing comparison between screen is Always difficult without proper Tools, so a normal user will not see a lot of difference f not comparing the two side by side, and even then, the difference can be due only to the settings.

In any case, the Xperia is nice with the WH-1000XM3 bundled for 999€. Only the phone, or the phone and the 60€ cover for this price is really too high without the 350€ headphone bundled in. What I mean here, is that this phone value is more around 700€ than 1000€. It's a great phone I will keep for 2 years or more, but not better than others for the 700€ mark, just different.

The official sony website say (in the disclamer in the Bottom of the specification page):

Xperia 1 does not cover the BT.2020 colour space in full

8 bit display with 2 bit software smoothing

So any review/website that talk about this phone without mentionning it can't be taken that seriously. This one is more like an advertisement taking line by line the specification sheet of the phone.

I quoted the official specification before: not 10bit but 8+2. HDR but not all the BT2020 range.

I can try to find my microscope to look at the screen, because I can't find any review that show the pannel type.

Ah right cheers so the BT2020 isnt true? How can they advertise it has it?

[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] Hildr:
From the link provided by [MENTION=9508459]xzpremium1976[/MENTION] the pannel is 67.4% of BT.2020, 99.63% of DCI-P3 and 148.4% of BT.709. That's still pretty neat.

They advertise the ability to play files using this color gamut space I think. A classic SDR screen while just be grey-ish when playing a BT.2020 video (I it's what happen on my computer screen). And they still write down on their specification sheet that's it's not complete range reproduction. But well, untill not so long, screen didn't even reproduce all the RGB color range, and now you have a full DCI-P3 coverage.

Not related to the screen or camera. But I hightly recommend people considering this phone to try it. The 21/9 ratio phone is … unexpedly good in hand. I mean, I really had a hard time with the P30pro with its 19.5:9 ratio coming from a 18.5:9 ratio. But it was more about the curved edge (front and back). Plus a flat screen is less eye catching, but, for me, far better for content, since curved edge distort the image and create ray of light. It's the same with Samsung edge phone. Well, matter of taste here. But really, trying it is important here, I was bluffed, I never expected buying a Sony phone and was just trying it.

I'll have to have a play around more when I get back home creative mode in display setting makes the display quite dim when going to the other mode it brightens up

I'll try get a microscope and see if its rgb or penitle
[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] Hildr:
I do not have any change in the brightness level switching from Creator mode to Standard (only a big shift to the blue tint). At least in the parameter screen. Maybe it's dimmer when playing HDR video?

Display note 9 no have nivel Xperia 1 reference OLED

Enviado desde mi G8141 mediante Tapatalk
[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] xerxess:
let me share my experience as ex note 9 user.

short word xperia-1 in my experience truly worth, why?

-first display, yeah it more less have same oled characteristics display, in xperia 1 not saturated like note 9 but xperia 1 give user amazing experience watching movies and playing games, have feeling immersive when you do that combined with natural color and great stereo loudspeaker . your eyes so comfort. ofcourse dont forget xperia 1 ability to upscale and sharpness the video.

-design and body, in term of this i like both, generally i like boxy design. in xperia 1 the tall more less like note 9 but with more comfortable to hold thanks to narrow design really easy to hold.

- camera, i can say for feature its clear xperia 1 have ultrawide, but in image quality, i can say 20-25% better than note 9 overall so maybe if you are fully oriented and high expectations improvement on camera over note 9 maybe not. but as additional feature eye af and AF/AE is truly benefit if you can use it.

battery, surprisingly its reliable in one day usage, i dont expect this. at least its not worst than note 9. what truly surprising for me is xperia 1 deeper sleep, its well.

the rest i can say on par in flagship class

maybe what you are missing only s-pen (from my experience) but it replaced with experience watching movies and game im so enjoying it haha

os, nearly stock with few feature needs, if you hope many gimmick i dont think xperia 1 can.
[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] neverborn:
I've gone this route exactly. :)

1. Not much of an upgrade. Slightly noticeably faster, and aesthetically prettier (maybe) but I don't think it's been an upgrade at all

2. it is not.

3. Yes. the Xperia 1 display panel is sourced from Samsung, after all :) However, the one on the Xperia 1 gets less bright. Not a complaint, just an observation

4. Less loud.

Bugs - haven't noticed very specific bugs (if you mean app-wise). BUT it has crashed/stopped working twice so far in the 3 days I've had it. Once while installing my Play Store apps. Another when I got a message. Had to restart both times.

Why do you need to insult other brand product? Are you 12? Anything you says with this attitude lose any bit of credibility. Loss of credibility that penalize other sony users and products as well by being grouped with you.

I really need to find my microscope since no one seems to know what panel sony use. Or at least, no one provide proof.
[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] brockyneo:
I have both displays side by side and there both amazing to be honest the sony is better colours but it doesn't get as bright which seems to be a problem in dark parts of hdr films ect

As far as crispness there both just as good as one another I dont think most people can tell the difference if honest

Oh another thing is the sony seems to have less banding then the note 9 :good:

[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] Hildr:
Why the s10+ is only playing video in 720p ie HD and not even FHD?

Why not displaying HDR since both phone can do it? (How can you say it's best hdr when only playing SDR video?)

Filming with a camera that burn the white because of the lack of dynamic range is also bad for xperia 1 in the first video where light are all burned and we can't see anything.

What are the white balance settings for both phone?

I can do the same video with a lumia 920 and have the Xperia lose the same way just by modifying the white balance in the settings.

Sorry to inform you that Sony use a Samsung pentile pannel for this phone, the only bravia technology used here is the upscaling software. Well, since Sony use LG Oled pannel for their Bravia series, it was pretty obvious we would not find the same pannel on their phone. And the last LG G8s Think Q has a totally different subpixel arrangment (https://www.notebookcheck.com/LG-G8s-ThinQ-Smartphone-im-Test-Innovativ-oder-altbacken.426932.0.html )
[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] EliasAlucard:
The camera is really good if you set it on manual mode and low ISO, for selfies anyway. As for the screen, it's an acquired taste, and 21:9 isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I like it a lot. The hardware in general is good, and while more RAM would be nice, 6 GB feels plenty enough. My main complaint right now is that Sony still hasn't added the Xperia 1 to their Open Devices list, and that the Xperia 1 is unsupported by their Xperia Transfer Mobile app (great backup app!), so if those two issues aren't a problem for you, I can definitely recommend buying the Xperia 1. But I'm counting on Sony adding the Xperia 1 to their Open Devices list, because they added the Xperia 10, and it was released a few months earlier than the Xperia 1, and the Xperia Transfer Mobile app was last updated before the Xperia 1 was released, so future updates should add Xperia 1 support. That said, if you're a rooter, the Xperia Transfer Mobile doesn't matter to you, as you probably use Titanium Backup, but If the Xperia 1 isn't added to Sony's Open Devices list, then I personally won't be buying any more Xperias, because it's important as a matter of principle that we can install Android custom-ROMs on our smartphones, and Android is supposed to be open; if I wanted a closed ecosystem, I'd buy an iPhone.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] killerkhatiby009:
I'm having some problems with s2p, It keeps on freezing up (especially when I try to do coverflow), and then closing. Am I just doing something wrong? or is this happening to other people. Sometimes it works fine, and i can do coverflow, open an album and change songs, but then sometimes, it will just freeze when i try to open a song. Other times i will just be sliding through the flow (either with a song playing or not) and it will hit an album and freeze, and it is not always the same album. Is there a way to fix this, or am i just running out of free ram or something? I have tried soft resetting and having more free RAM, but nothing seems to be working. Only programs I have open are ifonz and s2p.

BTW: I am using s2p v 0.40
[Mogul, XV6800 General] aguas:
iFonz and s2p are RAM intensive programs. on average iFonz requires 2.5 mb RAM and s2p needs about 5.5 mb RAM, from my expierence. together, thats 2/5'ths of the available RAM on startup. try closing iFonz an just running s2p. or find a player that doesnt use as much memory.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] killerkhatiby009:
I have tried closing iFonz, and I have also tried soft resetting and just starting s2p to see if it works, but i sill have the same problem. I am beginning to see some albums that cause it to freeze (so it may be just specific files), but i don't want to have to delete some of my songs for it to work.

EDIT: Nevermind, it is probably not specific files (not positive though), as after doing a soft reset and having only s2p running, some of the albums it used to freeze on no longer freeze, but it still froze on a different album.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] killerkhatiby009:
I am having another problem, and I think they are related, my programs keep closing when another one opens (i can't have more than 1 program running in my memory at a time, but it doesn't seem to apply to background programs like s2u2 or SPB Mobile shell), and I think that this thing that is causing all my programs to close, is closing s2p because of its RAM usage, but I have no clue what it is, and it has just started happening. Any ideas?
[Mogul, XV6800 General] KaziWingX:
ive actually had this problem many times. i pm'd A_C and he told me that it may have something to do with...something (forgot what he said) embeded into certain album art and what-nots. ive since gave up on that program and started using a program called "audio Manager". its basically the same thing but it gives u the option of trimming songs and using them as ringtones, slide tones...etc. but u dont get that cool slide transition thingy...

VoLTE works even on EMUI 9.0. At least on BLA-L29 (9.0.0.246 C432E4R1P11). A lot od depends on carrier (in my case polish PLAY). For example, in my case, VoLTE wasn't work. I tried to figure out why and it turned out that my carrier doesn't support it on Mate 10 Pro for now, but they supports P20 Pro and few other Huawei devices. I called to customer service office, and asked them to turn it on on my account even if they don't support my model. 5 minutes later VoLTE icon shows on status bar and everything works fine. The option in settings menu, could shows themselve, when they turn it on. So, I suggest You to conntact your carrier.
