Sony Mobile’s next Xperia flagship, Xperia 1 V.
Most of the spec information is still uncertain, but at least the appearance of the actual machine and highly reliable rendered images have been leaked.
And, as far as the visual confirmation is concerned, there is no such thing as a ToF sensor in this Xperia 1 V, and the view that the sensor will be abolished is strong. (I’m not 100% sure yet)
Meanwhile,Interesting info regarding this Xperia 1 V’s ToF sensor abolition and its ‘effect’I found.
AF speed increased by 1.4 times with ToF sensor abolition?
Information from Weibo was sent by a Reddit user, and the content is:
The Xperia 1 V’s focus speed is regarding 40% faster than its predecessor. Sounds like the ToF sensor didn’t make much sense. Of course, the evaluation of image quality is left to the judgment of the user.
In shortEliminating the ToF sensor on the Xperia 1 V speeds up the autofocus speed by regarding 40%So, if this is true, it seems that it can be said that it is a modest but considerable improvement in camera performance.
However, as far as I investigated a little, the ToF sensor“I can’t say that the focus speed is faster than phase difference AF”I also saw a description of
In other words, it can be said that the ToF sensor was not originally sold for its high autofocus speed.
Still, if the Xperia 1 V’s abolition of the ToF sensor really increases the AF speed by 40%, it seems to make a lot of sense to abolish it.
But doesn’t that mean the image quality is better?
However, as this author writes,AF speed and image quality are another story。
No matter how fast the AF is, if the focus is not accurate, the camera as a whole will be rated poorly.
On the other hand, with the Xperia 1 III and Xperia 5 III equipped with the same telephoto camera, for some reason the Xperia 1 III equipped with a ToF sensor is better than the 5 III. There are certainly voices of doubt.
Therefore, even if the Xperia 1 V discontinues the actual ToF sensor, I would like to wait for user evaluations etc.
