Last February, Sony unveiled its 2020 flagship phone which is the Sony Xperia 1 II (Mark 2). While it does feature Snapdragon 865 and a crisp 6.5″ 4K OLED display (that’s right), it’s actually the cameras that are the most interesting feature. Sony has “ported” its Alpha professional camera features to its latest smartphone, such as eye-tracking and continuous autofocus. There’s also support for the 20fps burst mode shooting. In the US, the Xperia 1 II is priced at $1199(~P60,000) which is pretty expensive. It will ship starting July 24 with pre-orders starting June 28. However, those who will pre-order will get a free Sony WF-1000XM3 TWS that already retails in the Philippines for P12,990($230 in the US). Now, you can do the math if the device is worth purchasing.
