question posted in official forum.

If I remember correctly, although all premium Xperias in past have 4K display, they display majority of contents in FHD (such as home screen etc) except for certain contents such as photo or video.

Does Xperia 1 do the same thing, or maybe instead of FHD+, it uses QHD+ like XZ3 or "all time 4K"?

does anyone know answer to it?

It has to have lower res rendering for daily use, afaik all Galaxies also do it. But I haven't seen any official statement about 1.

AFAIK, they did this to save battery life, rendering in 4K consume more energy than in FullHD, so they limited it to only for photos and videos and only in some applications as the application must be aware of this to actually use it (IIRC).

IDK if X1 still use it or not, but if it did, then it will still use FHD for rendering and not QHD, the reason for this is because FHD unlike QHD has a perfect scale to 4K, I mean each FHD pixel will be rendered to full 4 pixels (in 2x2 pixel array) in a 4K screen, for QHD is a different story, you will need to scale to 1.5x1.5 pixel array which will not be good and will need hardware scaling to get rid of such weird scaling ratio.

By the time the Xperia 1 gets released, the Note 10 will be knocking around the corner.
Sony is messing up this release so bad. If rumors about the Note 10 is true, then the Xperia 1 will feel very obsolete already when it goes on sale.

Xperia 1 was obsolete the day the Samsung Galaxy S10+ arrived and then even more so when Huawei P30 Pro became official.

What is great though is that the Xperia 1 has a unique display and will standout (tall) in a phone shop, that could get more eyes on it.

Xperia 1 is dead on arrival big time now... S10 and S10+ are meh, nothing special, but P30 Pro is really powerful and awesome device, big battery, incredible zoom and low light! Beside higher res screen, Xperia 1 has no advantages at all... Sadly nobody will care about it when it gets released in June, by then everyone will either buy S10, P30 or Xiaomi Mi9 etc...

I am pretty tempted by the P30 Pro. Huawei is leading the innovation at this point, Samsung fell behind!

Shame about the late release for X1 . I am tempted by it but only if camera is good . Sadly as above posts said most people would have bought other phones by then. Hopefully some reviews will be published soon

I doubt that it can beat competitor's camera.

I still want to have it as it's the only one android brand that has premium bumper case for.
