I think Sony has their way of doing things as well as design (They almost always never fail). Lets put some faith in them.

I've mostly enjoyed what Sony have produced. But losing the form factor and 4k is big, imo. I enjoy watching movies on my phone when traveling and the experience is noticeable compared to a 2k phone.
if they do something special to make up for it, maybe it won't matter. but i really doubt it. sony phones have been niche market phones for years now and if they are taking away two things that cater to that niche market, that's a poor decision in my book.
will wait and see. i would prefer NOT to get a galaxy or pixel.. but at some point, i will need to upgrade. my m2 is working fine right now, but i do have a dead pixel on my camera sensor

Looking at the mockup comparison renders its the exact same phone but with a tad bit ruined aesthetics and ergonomics. Had they incorporated iPhone like flat frame they could have shaved off another 1.5mm of width for sure.
Anyway, Sony only has themselves to blame for not selling enough of total units to justify investing into new gen 21:9 4K panel. Again, if I was to guess its the 5 series that takes the blame for being a total flop. Shame that Sony board doesn't see Xperia 1 as a true showcase flagship product of Sony's cutting edge technologies combined into one. If they had such vision they would have subsidized the phone as much as they could; ie for starters they would have SSSG sell them any sensor they want for manufacturing price |

Even if Sony electronics could get exmor for factory price, highly doubt it would make much difference.
For the amount of exmor sony sells, revenue is not big. Selling electronics bring more revenue (but less profit) than exmor.
sometimes even samsung avoid samsung semicon products for the price. S24 has storage from micron.

spektykles,
About AI, is it something sony developed alone, or collaborated with other, like qualcomm? |

Could someone, someone (cough) here verify somehow if Cinema Pro is being discontinued? Or if it has completely new version or perhaps its being rebranded. |

Same focal range,
Likely using ai to further improve image quality. Hope they add macro capability as rumoured. Then improve brightness and UFS 4 with great cooling system to better handle everything including saving faster to micro sd.

It's all same camera hardware... ? Hmm, I recall there's been a time like this before but not so sure which year...
Anyway, it's disappointing... my long wait is just to feel sad.

there is no excuse. Crap crop from 40MP 1/1.7" again that is gonna come out with focus issues and softness sony is gonna take months to correct. So downgrade of screen was for nothing, novother parts are being upgraded except SoC. |

Didn't hear it's my assumption because a Cinema Pro feature developer I met through various specific Sony blog/forums got moved from the app development early/mid last year. She/he was not in a maintenance team that tackle bugs and revisions. I tried to pitch few improvements but she/he had no say in such thing although I was assured the seniors were all aware of the issues and possible improvements that never got implemented. My guess is they have people shortage that can't tackle all the imaging apps at once, again that's just my guess. Or maybe the priority of the road map has changed and Video Pro gets all the love. |
