Sony Xperia 1 II Camera Sample Gallery

Sony Xperia 1 II, portrait mode. This is one of the few portrait mode shots I really like. Often, the software makes errors when applying the blur effect around the outline of a subject.
Sony Xperia 1 II, Photography Pro app. The granular controls in this app give you more freedom to take the photos you want.
Sony Xperia 1 II, main camera. The Xperia may have a simple 12-megapixel camera, but you often get great colors and excellent detail.

Photograph: Julian Chokkattu08Sony Xperia 1 II, main camera. With the default camera app, the Xperia struggles with high-contrast scenarios. Notice how the sunlit left edge of the photo is too bright.

Photograph: Julian Chokkattu10Sony Xperia 1 II, main camera. There's no dedicated night mode, but this phone manages to excel by stitching together a quick long exposure. You just need to hold it very still (use a tripod if you can).
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu11Google Pixel 4, Night Sight. I like the Sony version of this photo more. It's not as grainy and has better colors overall, though both phones captured the same amount of detail. The Pixel is more forgiving with camera shake, however.
