Hi everyone
Does the 4K vidéo recording and other camera features of the Z2 will be carry on Z1 ?
thanks a lot

It's a hardware feature,
4K means 2160p or 4K pixels.
Z1 only records in 1080p and its maximum pixel for recording in its lens is 1080p, so 4k in Z1 is impossible.
Hit thanks if this helped you!

But it's exactly the same hardware with the same camera and the S800 of the Z1 is able to record 4k ... that's why i ask about it

But some changes are made and the Video recording lens is replaced!

That's only a software issue and i think that Sony can introduce 4k in Z1 ...
Dudes look at this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50673925
That makes no sense that we are capped at 1080p. If the camera can take 20mp images that the lens and hardest are there to capture it. The hardware to push it to memory fast enough is a different story.

According to Qualcomm, the new 801, not sure which 801 variant, has h.265 support built in, HEVC
http://www.qualcomm.com/snapdragon/processors/801
This is missing in the Z1, and therefore any official support for 4k video from sony will probably not occur, unless they decide to use h.264 for 4k, but then files will be rather large. If the 4k on the Z2 is dependent on h.265 support I am not sure how easy it can be ported over to the Z1. Yes the S800 does have ultraHD support for playback and capture, so perhaps 4k capture will be ported over or even possibly added by Sony, but I wouldn't hold out on the latter.

z2 does not suport h.265 encoding according to sony white paper: http://dl-developer.sonymobile.com/documentation/whitepapers/Xperia_Z2_D6502_D6503_D6543_WP_1.pdf
its exactly like z1 and z1 compact:
http://dl-developer.sonymobile.com/documentation/whitepapers/Xperia_Z1_Compact_D5503_WP_4.pdf
so this shouldnt be a problem

dude do you realise the amount of trash you just said?
first - z1 camera sensor and lens are the same as z2
second - according to your logic the lens cant capture more than 1080p videos (2mp), but it can take 20.7mp pictures. how is that possible haha
@OP: the only diferences are the S801 clocks that are a little bit higher than s800, and 1GB of extra ram that z2 have. but i dont think this should be a problem, since any S800 chipset has the ability to do 4k recording and GS5 and Liquid S2 have 2GB of RAM and also record 4K 30fps (it doesnt suport video stabilization though)

that's a shame, why would sony opt for h.264 4k encoding when the 801 has native support for h.265?
4K is useless on a smartphone with little lens
It pumps up the resolution but the quality remains substantially the same
It could be introduced via software and currently the only real benefit would be to fit better on a 4K display without upscaling processing
The problem is the potential lag because the hardware (CPU, GPU, less RAM), but it should be ok (the differences are minimal)
I'd like to see implemented timeshift video on Z1

actually, the s801 and s801 only differ in terms of clock speeds. only S805 has h.265 hardware decoder and i am not sure if it even has a hardware encoder

Here's a compilation of the videos that I've done so far for the Xperia Z2.
More videos including night shots will be added soon.
Xperia Z2: Unboxing + Basic Test Drive
Xperia Z2 4K Cinematic Video Sample
Sony Xperia Z2 4K UHD Video Sample in a Montage
Let me know whatever I've missed out or done wrong in the videos if any!

Hi evreybody,
I'm new in this community . In my free time I'm a game developer, new in the VR apps. For a while i was looking for the refreshrate of the screen of my Sony Xperia Z2. But nobody could help me with this spec of the phone. Can anybody give me a hand with this?
I must know if my phone limits the refreshrate of my apps. This spec is important to immers the player to the world. if i have more than 60 fps, it will be fluidest and immmersive, get in the player in a good VR experience.
Thanks
Tucayo:highfive:
As far I know Xperia Z2 have only 60hz refreshrate
It plays YouTube at 1080p 60fps if that helps?

I just read the x compact review on gsmarena and it says:
There is no 4K video recording - it's reserved for the high-end Xperia XZ. Just like on the other X's, it's not a chipset limitation - the S650 is fully capable in this respect - it most probably was a marketing decision.
Does that mean that theoretically it's possible to record 4k videos IF a developer looks into it and, let's say, ports the XZ camera? Basically, is it a software or hardware limitation?

well if you search this about xperia X there are some possible ways to enable 4k recording and also many have reported that other third party camera apps have the 4k option in video settings and its only disabled in stock sony camera app
but the problem is that the phone temperature might not allow us to record 4k and might damage the phone as Xperia X reportedly had issues even on 1080p recording!
Hi everyone,
I have switched to XA1 and disappointed it can't record 4K movies. Recently played with Open Camera (Mark Harman) available in Play and this app successfully records 4K clips in full ISO range up to 3200. You need to activate Camera2 API in settings and then movies resolution to 4K.
Max framerate is 24, but looks like image stabilization works in 4K!
cheers
Hey, what is the shutter speed range in open camera?
Camera API2
Haow to activate camera api2 in xperia xa1
Would like to know that too. Open Camera doesn't seem to have option like that, so I understand Root and modding build.prop ("persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1"?
Xperia XA1 seems to support footage in 4k.
I have used this app, and have been filming in 4k, apparently.
Test to see yourself if it really is what we need to shoot in 4k.
