Sony originally planned to release the Xperia flagship in the first half of 2020 at the MWC exhibition. Due to the impact of the epidemic, the original physical presentation was changed to an online presentation. Therefore, we did not see the real machine and then reported it this year. It was also published online from YouTube. Yes, and some simple inquiries after the meeting to learn about the Xperia 1 II (pronounced Xperia one Mark two), so I'm sorry that the amount of information in the first post is not as much as before, but I want to have a real machine later (or watch it later). There are foreign media who have heard the commentary), the message will be clearer.

Pro is quite special. It is developed on the basis of Xperia 1 II and supports both Sub 6 and mmWAVE 5G dual-mode mobile phones. It is also designed for the professional needs of video production, but the current progress is "under development", when will BCW65CLT1 be available? It's unclear (I guess before the Olympics?). The Xperia Pro advertises higher-quality photos, video capture, and post-production capabilities. The Xperia Pro supports microHDMI, which can be used as a monitoring screen for a single-lens camera or a page camera, and then transmit images to a server or cloud via 5G.

Since the Xperia Pro is in development, we are still a little far away from us, so let's take a look at the Xperia 1 II.

From the naming, it seems to be taking the route of SONY camera. It really made the students guess right. This is to make the Xperia mobile phone closer to the professional camera, and to show the meaning of being more closely related to the camera department... (This is my guess. It's not official..)

The Xperia 1 II is a 5G mobile phone with three colors of black, gray and purple. It is expected to be launched in Taiwan with the launch of 5G by telecom operators. It will be launched before Zhonghua opens in July, but how long will it be? April? May? June? I think it's better to pay close attention to the follow-up.

Highlights of the Xperia 1 II include:

Support 5G high-speed transmission (Sub-6), which can be supported after 5G is launched.

Using Snapdragon 865 processor, 8GB RAM and 256GB capacity,

Equipped with a new three-lens, a lens in cooperation with Zeiss, and a 3D iToF image sensor for the Xperia 1 II (I don't know how different this is from the general ToF at the moment, can I ask...).

The three lenses of the Xperia 1 II are: 12-megapixel main lens (equivalent to 24mm, f1.7), 12-megapixel telephoto (equivalent to 70mm -ic/" title="70mm model">70mm-ic/" title ="70mm model">70mm-ic/" title="70mm model">70mm-ic/" title="70mm model">70mm-ic/" title="70mm model">70mm-ic/" title=" 70mm model">70mm-ic/" title="70mm model">70mm-ic/" title="70mm model">70mm-ic/" title="70mm model">70mm-ic/" title="70mm model ">70mm-ic/" title="70mm model">70mm-ic/" title="70mm model">70mm-ic/" title="70mm model">70mm-ic/" title="70mm model"> 70mm-ic/" title="70mm model">70mm-ic/" title="70mm model">70mm-ic/" title="70mm model">70mm-ic/" title="70mm model">70mm- ic/" title="70mm model">70mm, f2.4), 12 million pixel super wide-angle (equivalent to 16mm, f2.2), there is actually a ToF lens, and this time the main camera sensor is more sensitive than Xperia 1 Large (1/1.7 inch), although the pixels are the same, they are not the same module.

I believe that students all have the concept that a larger photosensitive element can receive more light, which helps to improve the picture quality and clarity. Remember, this is the first place where the Xperia 1 II has a higher amount of light.

This time the lens of the Xperia 1 II will be equipped with Zeiss optics and T* coating, and there will be a small red T on the camera. Coating can reduce the reflection of light, improve the light transmittance of the lens, and avoid ghosting and diffusion (the most common example is when shooting against street lights at night, there will be no ghosting spots, and it can also reduce the feeling of halo) , T* coating can minimize unnecessary reflections. In fact, the most important thing is to increase the amount of light entering. The more light reaches the photosensitive element, the clearer the obtained image will be, and the more complete and undistorted the color will be.

This is the second design to increase the amount of light entering the Xperia 1 II camera. If you think about the computing power of this generation of Snapdragon 865, you can look forward to the Xperia 1 II's performance in shooting dynamic objects and low light.

The new Photography Pro function is basically to provide an interface similar to the Alpha camera, providing P mode, M mode, etc., you can manually set ISO, shutter speed, metering... etc. From the official map, It's very similar to the Alpha camera's menu. (You can also shoot RAW/.DNG files)

Cinema Pro has been upgraded to Cinematography Pro, adding a variety of shooting frame rates and more manual options, including touch focus, white balance, etc. In terms of radio, smart wind noise filtering technology is also added, which can filter wind cutting when shooting sound, yay! Someone noticed that this piece is too good.

The Eye AF, 10fps continuous shooting, and 30 auto-exposure/autofocus that were emphasized on the Xperia 1 have been upgraded again on the new Xperia 1 II, including an upgrade to 20fps continuous shooting (main camera), 60 times per second AE/AF tracking calculation, demonstrated by skateboarding at the press conference, it seems that this level can better capture the speed of the fast-moving picture.

Eye AF can also focus on moving pet eyes, and the speed is advertised as "real-time eye tracking focus".

In other scenes, especially in low light environments, the focusing speed is faster. This is because the Xperia 1 II provides a Dual Photo Diode sensor/ dual photodiode sensor, which can focus on 70% of the area of the photosensitive element, so even if the subject has a large area in the frame Or move faster, and there are more chances to get accurate focus. The official website mentions that it is "similar to the latest RX100 series cameras." In addition, the focusing speed is also related to the so-called 3D iToF sensor element (which detects and calculates the distance faster), and the latest 1/1.7-inch Exmor RS large-size photosensitive element. .

In terms of sound effects, we continue to cooperate with the Sony Picture team for tuning, including the addition of 360 Reality Audio, which is a new technology proposed by SONY at CES this year. materials also need support).

In addition, DSEE, the high-resolution technology of general sound quality, has been upgraded to "DSEE Ultimate", which can also restore digital sound quality to high-resolution, bringing closer to the real sound quality. In addition, Dolby Atmos is also built-in.

The screen also supports 4K HDR, uses an OLED screen, and also retains the director mode to allow creators to view accurate video primary colors.

Xperia 1 II has a built-in 4000mAh battery (finally broke 4000 XD), supports 21W wired fast charging (PD), and wireless charging is back.

After digesting it, it seems that many of them are routine upgrades, but they are not.

In addition to the improved specifications, the camera also seems to emphasize more on "professionalization". For example, Sony often shows that the Xperia mobile phone can be used as a monitoring screen for Sony's monocular and camera. This time, there is also a Pro mode for still photography, and Cinema Pro also Continuing to add new functions, continuous shooting, focusing speed and calculation speed are more in line with the needs of sports dynamics...etc. In addition, it is also found that the Xperia 1 II seems to deliberately make the camera interface closer to the Alpha camera, and more and more functions are taken from the Alpha camera.

Functional specialization is of course a good thing, and a larger sensor is also a great change. Mobile phones are showing more and more that they can make movies like movies, and they are more and more expected to be used in difficult scenes such as night and sports. Great shot. Not sure how far the alpha Xperia 1 II can do it.

However, I would like to see if the interface and experience of the Xperia 1 II are easy to use and civilian under the professional functions of the Xperia 1 II (people who use non-Sony cameras do not know if they can get started in a minute)

Personally, I am currently more curious about how the lens in cooperation with Zeiss, the improved computing power of the Snapdragon 865, and the larger photosensitive element can improve photography and video recording. And now many mobile phones use high pixel (64 million, 100 million pixels, etc.) + four and 19 in one + computing power to optimize photos and videos, what is the difference between naming the camera Xperia 1 II? This is what I'm more curious about right now.
