Sony Xperia 1II evaluation-Sony Xperia 1 II all-round evaluation

Sony Xperia 1II is a mobile phone with Snapdragon 865 processor. This mobile phone is quite strong in performance and battery life in the same price range. How about Sony Xperia 1II? Let's take a look at the specific evaluation with me, hoping to help everyone.

The design started with Xperia 1, and the Xperia series began to take a slender style in design, which continued the square shape of its own mobile phone products as a whole. In addition, the long screen of 2 1: 9 becomes tall and narrow, and the camera module of Xperia 1 II moves back to the left from the middle, although the overall outline looks square and tough. But in addition to a certain curvature, the edge is very supple. This design also makes the metal frame wrap around, making the transition of glass very smooth and not touching any gaps and edges. Compared with the iPhone 12 with a right-angled design, the slender and rounded grip is more comfortable. In addition to the distinctive square design, the color matching of this phone is also unique. Among them, the castle peak green customized by Sony for China adds some elegant gray on the basis of dark green.

On the back, except that the camera is moved to the upper left corner, AG glass with better texture is used as a whole, which increases the feel and reduces the pollution of fingerprints. Sony's brand Logo is treated with smooth glass effect, which is very prominent and adds a touch of bright color to the whole mobile phone. The appearance of the whole mobile phone still maintains the consistent aesthetic style of Sony mobile phone.

In addition to its beauty, Sony has some distinctive designs that distinguish it from other mobile phones. After XZ3 had too many fingers on its back, Xperia 1 II used its most traditional side fingerprint button with integrated power supply. There is an iconic fast card slot on the right, and it also has the function of microSD storage expansion. This time, Xperia 1 II supports hot plug of SIM cards, and it is not necessary to restart the card loading and pulling. Of course, there is also a camera shutter button for buttons, which supports functions such as long press to bring up the camera and half press to focus. It also supports the uncommon 3.5mm headphone jack, which can charge external wired headphones while listening to music.

Screen features The screen ratio of Xperia 1 II is still 2 1: 9. The screen resolution of 4K OLED is 3840 x 1644, which is equivalent to 643 pixels per inch, and it has the display effect of 10bit HDR. It is worth noting that Sony did not choose to cut a notch on the screen to accommodate the front camera. Sony is committed to providing users with the perfect mobile phone screen to watch video content, and has not adopted the popular hole-digging design to increase the screen ratio. On the contrary, Sony Xperia 1 II has small borders at the top and bottom of the display. The top border is used to accommodate the selfie camera, and the bottom border and the top border have a front speaker respectively.

This screen can be said to be the highest specification in the current smartphone flagship, which can provide better picture performance for users shooting 4K videos and watching HD movies. Coupled with the support of front dual speakers and Dolby panoramic sound, the full-screen picture of 2 1: 9 makes the viewing experience even better. The color of the Xperia 1 II screen provides main mode and video image enhancement. When watching a movie, the mobile phone will automatically turn on, and the screen will adapt to the different needs of professional creation and entertainment for screen color.

In the actual experience, the screen ratio of 2 1: 9 also brings more interesting gameplay for the use of mobile phones, with narrower body and larger screen, but the scope of one-handed operation is limited to the lower part of the mobile phone. Fortunately, Sony also knows its own screen length, and preset 2 1: 9 multi-windows on the home page. At the same time, the side sense function also allows us to find commonly used apps and settings faster.

As the flagship mobile phone, the screen refresh rate of Xperia 1 II is as high as 60Hz, which can be optimized to 90Hz through dithering and blurring.

Cameras and camcorders Sony Xperia 1 II is equipped with a main lens with a focal length of12 megapixel f/ 1.7 24m, a telephoto lens with a focal length of12 megapixel f/2.4 70mm and a telephoto lens with a focal length of12 megapixel f/2.2. In addition to the lens module, Sony also added Zeiss T* coating. According to the official statement, this coating can reduce the reflected light to obtain better image quality and contrast.

In the ordinary camera interface, Xperia 1 II has no other fancy function modes on Android, and the main interface only keeps videos, photos and slow motion. The mode menu includes portrait selfie, creative special effects and panorama, and there are three buttons at the bottom of the shooting interface corresponding to the switching of three different shooting. In other words, when we zoom, we need to manually switch different focal lengths of different lenses. If friends often change focal lengths to take pictures, we need to adapt. This photo function supports long-press shutter to exhale, which can take photos faster.

Friends who are familiar with Sony's mobile phone camera know that Sony's mobile phone camera can be said to be unique. As a user, if you are willing to spend some time in the professional mode of camera application, you will be able to take some very beautiful images after you are familiar with it, and this Xperia 1 II is no exception. In the automatic mode of ordinary cameras, Xperia 1 II can quickly capture photos, and can really restore the most realistic picture, which is true.

Sony Xperia 1 II adds the main photographer and movie application for professional players on the basis of the original camera application of mobile phones. The brand-new image system of Xperia 1 II was really developed by Sony micro-camera engineers, and the main photographer interface and usage mode were copied from his own micro-camera interface. If you have used it, you won't feel strange.

Open the master photographer, and the familiar interface will bring us a more professional experience. If you are a micro-single user of Sony, you can almost get started directly. The overall operation logic is also similar to the micro-single. The index finger of the right hand is placed at the position of the shutter button, and all commonly used parameters can be adjusted with the thumb, while the left hand is responsible for switching the shooting mode and lens while holding the phone steady. Click on the top left to select M and P files, and click on the bottom left to freely switch the lens focal length. Here we can see the familiar 24mm-70mm main focal length and longer telephoto, and the settings such as exposure compensation and focusing are also available. However, this application does not support hand-point view focusing and click shooting. We can only put the subject in the center of the view and take pictures through the same shutter as using a miniature camera.

The most impressive thing about taking pictures with this product is the focusing function. The Xperia 1 II autofocus system has 247 phase detection autofocus points, which have the focus of human eyes and animal eyes. With the shutter button, half shutter focusing and full shutter shooting can be realized, and the shooting experience is almost the same as that of a micro-single camera. Among them, the human eye reacts very quickly to the focus pursuit, even if it swings greatly, which is very suitable for friends with children or pets at home.

The shooting effect of Xperia 1 II is the same as that of a micro-camera, and it can almost restore the true color with 100%. In the backlight environment, the HDR shooting of Xperia 1 II can well preserve the details of the dark and bright parts, while showing a relatively real contrast between light and dark. You can also save RAW format files after shooting, which is more convenient for later debugging. Although Xperia 1 II does not have a special night scene mode, it will automatically identify the dark environment through AI, and the exposure time can be appropriately extended when taking pictures. In addition to the main lens, the wide-angle and telephoto lenses of Xperia 1 II also meet the needs of users to shoot more scenes.

To sum up, the focusing performance of Xperia 1 II is excellent, and the pictures taken by the three lenses have good restoration. The addition of independent shutter button and main mode can make Xperia 1 II a more professional camera. However, it is a pity that some common functions need to be found in the secondary menu or more setting interfaces, and it will take some time to adapt.

Specifications and performance are the same as many flagship smartphone products in 2020. Sony Xperia 1 II is also equipped with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 865 mobile platform. In actual use, Sony Xperia 1 II can run smoothly, and the application and service load quickly. In Geekbench 5 benchmark test, Sony Xperia 1 II scored an average of 2963 for multi-core and 9 13 for single-core, which was definitely in the first echelon of Android camp.

Sony Xperia 1 II is equipped with 12GB storage. Compared with other overseas versions of 8GB, Bank of China is obviously more sincere and more in line with the needs of the domestic market. With the storage of 12GB, Xperia 1 II can run games well, open multiple applications in the background, and the loading time will not be short. We didn't encounter any delay. The Sony Xperia 1 II version also optimizes the game mode, and you can click the corresponding game buttons for screen capture, screen recording, performance selection and other operations. And this time Sony finally brought the function of WeChat fingerprint payment into this product. Compared with the previous optimization in various aspects in China, Sony has made great progress.

Under the high-definition setting, the frame rate of Genshin Impact runs smoothly at 30FPS.

In addition to the configuration upgrade, the Bank of China version also supports full netcom dual-mode 5G, and the domestic network-wide support is also very sincere. In terms of battery, Xperia 1 II is equipped with a 4000mAh battery, which supports wireless charging, and wired charging supports up to 18W. In terms of system, Xperia 1 II adopts the cooperation scheme of native Android 10+ third-party applications, which is very simple as a whole and feels very native to Android when used.

abstract

The overall performance of Sony Xperia 1 II can reach the standard of an excellent flagship mobile phone. Needless to say, the flagship performance configuration also adds a lot of points to this product. Founder's appearance and comfortable grip are unique, which is different from the current curved screen products. Moreover, the weight of 18 1g is also very comfortable to use in the current smart phone products, and there will be no feeling of pressing hands. With the 4K HDR organic light-emitting diode screen and Dolby panoramic sound, it has become a mobile audio-visual weapon with good experience. The professional function of the imaging system developed and produced by Sony camera team can also give users more creative space. If some operations are modified for the touch screen, the experience will be better. If you want to pursue design and like mobile phone photography, then this product is worth recommending.
