Xperia 1 II: Is Sony equipping its next flagship with a better main camera than the Galaxy S20 and Galaxy S20 Plus?

Said to feature Sony Alpha technology, the Xperia 1 II is not due to be released until Q2 2020. However, now camera sensor details for the upcoming flagship have appeared online, and it seems that the Xperia 1 II may outdo some of Samsung's latest flagships on camera hardware.

Sony really wants its mobile division to go bust. They try all sorts of stupid stuff, so they can shut it down faster.

Sony Xperia 1, has a real amazing camera, I used it, and it was one of the best.
Problem was his connection technology, together the cell connection and wifi.
Cellphone signal really sucks, specially indoors, which does not happens with others. I was constantly getting Edge all the time. Huawei does not do that.
Wifi had a very poor autoconnection recovery. If your WiFi was unstable, it would disconnect, and you woul need to manually reconnect. Two factors made me sell the device, loosing money off course, to buy a new beast, the Rog Phone 2, I love it.

Whatever number follows IMX seems to be entirely random, 557 may not even be better than 555.

Looking back, their setup is 1.5 years old, new leading chips are 48/50mp and 108mp, with 150mp coming soon.
Surely their phones out some satisfying colorful pictures, not competitive in captured detail though, 12mp vs 108mp thats a difference.
Its not an alpha world with years of the same resolution, mobile world moves fast, ask customers, almost nobody got sony.

I much prefer the 12 MP 1.8 micron IMX555 over the 48 MP and 64 MP sensors on the market.
