Just tried the demo at m1. Primary Camera is quite disappointing.

Really? How so?

Really? How so?

Overexposure and noise levels are quite high, maybe faulty to the extent.

Yeah the rear camera is just plain average. Kinda disappointed. Thought it will using at least an imx214 but hardly doubt so. Could be the same camera sensor found in the t2 ultra. But really digging the display and bezels. Performance wise is really smooth and snappy.

yeah played with demo set at farrer park there.. the bezels are beyond sexy but the camera sucks in indoor lighting.

Was worried the camera wasn't up to standard and from what's been shared here and sample on youtube, kinda confirmed this. It's really a nice looking phone, especially love the mint color, but why can't Sony put more effort into the camera. They sell the camera sensors to others, yet they can't do better

Infocus m530 is able to use 2x IMX214 and sells it around S$300 months ago, I don't see why a Sony using a MTK chip selling at $500+ can't give better sensors

Well hope the price dropped at a ridiculous rate then maybe can pick up 1 for the design lol

Imo it still isnt a deal breaker for me and kudos to sony for making such a lovely looking device.

Sigh, as usual typical Sony . Camera is always their Achilles Heel. But for a phone marketed explicitly for its camera, this is terrible.

I was one of those eagerly anticipating this model. Skip now. Even the cheaper China brand Huawei Mate 7 offers a better camera (probably using Sony sensors) .

Welcome to the club. No casing as of yet. Strangely the headphone output is way louder than all previous sony release which is a great improvement

Had a huawei mate 7 and its using a sony imx214 sensor. Camera Software optimizations was very nicely implemented and it has one of the best image quality.

It's just not worth the $500+ price tag that's all Will wait for it drops 30-40% the original price tag then consider

Yeah wait for a year or two. A newer and better model would be released by then. To me, its living the moment that counts.
