Number 1. Performance upgrades
Of course, as expected we will see the new Snapdragon 865 in the Sony Xperia 1 ii which is 5G by default. Which makes this the Xperia 1 mark 2 the worlds 1st 21:9 in 5G handset. The SD865 is faster in all departments. Notably a 25% uplift to its CPU performance & Inside we will see 8GB Ram and 256GB of storage.
While this 5G there is also an Xperia 1 mk 2 pro variant which will allow for mmW which won't be coming to the EU just yet...
Number 2. Battery Improvements
So, of course, Sony heard the complaints about the fairly small 3300mAh battery and have now scaled it up to 4000mAh. Which is certainly quite an improvement. And they've also introduced faster charging with 30mins charging the phone to 50% and they've reintroduced QI wireless charging at 15 watts...how about that. Clip
Number 3. Camera Upgrades
So Sony is not playing the MP number game & is sticking with the triple 12mp layout with an added 3D time of flight sensor. The real core of Sonys upgrades here is the addition of Zeiss lenses and when it comes to taking photos you know what you are expected to do right? Focus.
We should see autofocus and focus tracking performance should be significantly improved. Thanks to the collaboration of Sony's Alpha team. They say the focus tracking covers 70% of the sensor & the Xperia 1 mk2 is has the WORLDS 1ST 20fps AF/AE tracking burst feature. This is something the Alpha team brought over from the Sony Alpha A9 camera.
They've also added in animal eye autofocus. And now Sony will be using a Dual photodiode sensor. 50% higher sensitivity for lower light. Which means better night photography & I'm certainly going to be testing out. Subscribe. There are also improvements to the frame rate options in the cinema pro app and the option to set a custom white balance. One brand new addition also added is the photo pro app that mimics Sony's Alpha camera setting on the Xperia 1 mk2.
Number 4. Display upgrades
So we still again we will see a 6.5" 4K HDR OLED display. But this time Sony has introduced a new more advanced custom white balanced tuner. So basically you get your screen picture perfect for what you want to use it for. It's a welcomed addition.
But it's also now has a 90Hz refresh rate screen with a new motion blur reduction software. The Xperia 1 was already pretty smooth...Xperia 1 mark 2 is going to be a bit smoother.
5. The Return of the Jack
So the word on the street about the headphone jack coming back turned out to be true. Which is great news for you audiophiles out there. While LDAC, Aptx HD & Aptx Adaptive are really great codecs, the wire is still the most reliable way to listen to HiRes audio. That’s why I’m happy to see the jack is back. Especially when gaming or watch movies latency issues can ruin the experience, but this won’t be a problem with the Sony Xperia 1 mark 2.
