Apparently phones will start shipping this month ... what a record for Sony

The 5 series always ships faster than the 1.

Basically the sane phone as last year

Maybe worse with the removal of the zoom lens, which was already downgraded last year.

the main sensor got a massive bump to a 1/1.3ish size

I wouldn't say so. Not having the 8 Gen 1 is a massive positive in itself and the 8 Gen 2 is actually a good chip. They've also upgraded the primary sensor to match the 1 V. Lack of telephoto is a downer but they have made it a little shorter to compensate and they've managed to cram the same 5000 mAh battery as last year.

Was it shorter? I know its 1mm wider which is a bummer.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

It's 2mm shorter than the 5 IV.
