which packs a lot of interesting Sony camera tech. While it lacks some flagship camera features, it has the image processing of a Sony device, so let's see what its camera system is all about.What you can see immediately from the specs is that Sony seems to be using the same hardware for the main and ultra-wide camera, but instead of improving the 2X zoom telephoto camera from last year's Xperia 10 V, it has removed it altogether.
The sensor itself is not among the largest used on a phone: it's a 1/2" size compared to 1/1.3" used on flagship devices.Colors look mostly okay, if a bit muted, but at least you don't get some crazy overblown colors. If you like images with natural, realistic tonalities, you would like the results. The above images at 2X look mostly fine, retaining those natural color tones and overall balance, but zooming further on you end up with images that lack detail, which brings the score down.The ultra-wide camera on the Sony features a 16mm field of view, which is a bit less than on some other phones, but is an interesting perspective as it does not look as extreme as those others. Some may argue this focal distance is a bit more versatile.
Again, it follows the familiar Sony script: neutral colors with no excessive saturation, and a softer look, which actually looks pleasing for selfies.4K video footage was particularly jerky, as the video stabilization is just not good enough on this device.
