Comment on Apple Event Announced for September 9: “It's Glowtime”
Kraven_the_Hunter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks agoSony has had the dedicated focus/snap button for years but zoom is handled by the volume buttons. I liked that setup, but went away from them earlier this year because their phone keeps overheating in camera mode. That was as of mark IV anyway. I hear the new ones are better but not sure how much.

I never got on the Xperia train cause my buddy had a rough experience with one (long before I went to the dark side and bought an iPhone).
But I did think the camera stuff seemed cool.
One of the few things I truly miss going from my OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Edition (greatest phone I ever owned, may it rest bricked in peace) to the iPhone is being able to open the camera without waking the phone first. Double tapping the power button to open the camera was great. On iPhone I have to wake the screen and then get to the camera, which is fast but not NEARLY as fast, so I sometimes miss shots I would’ve gotten with an Android phone. This should also fix that (as did the Action button in the iPhone 15, I think, but I don’t have that).

Loved my experia. Nice square edges, small overall size. Ahead of its time with pretty good photogrammetry built in well before Apple had any.

More than the hardware it was the software side of things that caught both Sony and LG along with after-sales support.
