Apparently, very capable according to this guy. (4:50ish in). He couldn't test too much but said the time he has spent it's pretty good.
I've just a pretty lengthy hands on with this.
I say hands on, it was difficult to do that with it being bolstered down and running a
terrible demo loop software which just made it look like garbage!
Having said that, I really really liked it.
Screen was so nice. It didn't seem to get particularly bright, but then I'm used to that now with the Pixel 3.
What struck me was how much it felt like I was using my Pixel. This is the most stock like experience I've ever seen on another non-Pixel Android device.
Big thumbs up from me as it would mean I wouldn't need to slap on a launcher.
Considering it's such a tall phone, it didn't feel cumbersome at all. The slimmer width means its easier to hold and actually really nice to use.
I had a little look at the camera, and it shot quickly and focused quickly too. I managed to do a comparison with my Pixel 3 on a random shot in store, and as expected the Pixel 3 took the better picture when I pixel peeped. But there didn't seem to be as much noise as there normally is with Sony devices.
This is the biggest thing for me really. I've always been able to take decent pictures with Sony phones, but nothing will compare to the Pixel 3 for me in terms of ease of use, simplicity in snapping and overall results.
It is quite frankly staggering, how good the Pixel 3's camera is. I know I'd be moving to a less capable camera with it, but I'd be gaining more function in terms of ultra wide shots, optical zoom and better video recording output.
The longer screen looked like it would be really useful for things like web pages, whatsapp, messages, forums etc. My only concern would be whether apps are optimised or if there would be some black bar nonsense going on? As there's very little in terms of reviews online, and not many people have them - it's difficult to tell if this would be a problem.
I watched a video that was stored on the phone of some sort of action movie trailer, and the aspect ratio came into its own there. Video looked absolutely amazing, and I'd happily watch content on it. I'd also use it for PS4 remote play, as I've done in the past with previous Sony devices.
Lots to consider. I get 30% off with Vodafone as part of my employee advantage scheme, so I could get one of these for £35 a month with 60GB of data and a free PS4 with Spider-Man.
I already have a PS4 Pro, so could sell the free one off for £200 (?) which roughly makes the whole lot work out at around £650 over the 2 years.
Seems like a bit of a steal - especially seeing as it's the superior colour (grey) too. I checked the purple one out and I really didn't like it. Not my bag at all.
The black was ok, if a little boring. I like that the grey looks to have a metal look band around the whole thing, which I think makes it look a little more premium.
I might wait for some more reviews to crop up and go from there.
, but I'll post anyway.
