Latest July firmware patch Stability testing (MAJOR UPDATE) 1080p tests added !

[Gilgameshuk]

Right I think that stability has not improved one iota, though gratefully and admittedly there have been a host of other fixes,

Anyway dont let me influence you, i have undertaken some tests for you to judge yourselves.

[Gilgameshuk]

I dont know why Xperia 1 User is having such a terrible time with processing photos, Mine is about 1 second

My image procesing is so quick. It takes les than a second to save picture.

[Gilgameshuk]

Yup 

Same here. One second to process.

I think in low light it can take longer. Maybe it also makes a difference if you are writing to an SD card vs internal, with the latter being faster. 

[Gilgameshuk]

Not this case mate

I AM writing to the internal device, 1 second save for photos.

As for stability tests, it has been confirmed via (AT LAST) via a SCRIPTED email from Sony,

they acknowledge the 4k stability problem and are working on it.

My name is Frank, I’m a Complaint Manager at Xperia support  by Sony.

I have tried contacting you today as per your request but I was unsuccessful in my efforts as there was no answer so I left a voicemail message.

We are sorry for the issues that you are having with your Xperia 1 device.

As you mentioned that the issues are related to stability, we recommend that you wait for the next software update to fix the issue and make sure that you have enough space available on your device so you can receive the update as soon as it's available for your phone.

We appreciate your patience and understanding.

If you are static (stood still) and filming, then the Sony Xperia 1 is fantastic but just falls short of greatness.

I mean look at this, I filmed this , whilst on holiday in Dubai.

That is stunning! 

It certainly deserves a 4/5 stars but no lower or higher, a truly decent phone let down by two things, small battery life and no 4k stability and none in HDR mode of 1080p. Normal 1080p is fantastic.
