Bravia Engine v Bravia Engine 2

Uliwooly — Wed, 29 Aug 2012 18:42:32 GMT

How come the Xperia V will have Bravia Engine2 and not the Xperia T? what is the difference? can any sony moderator, communitiy manager, sony developer, etc post info on this?

Wi-Fi direct? will the images will be compressed as much as the 2010, 2011 and 2012 Xperias?

I don't know why Xperia V will come with BE2 and Xperia not. But the main difference is that BE2 is faster.

By the looks of the WP for Xperia T it will come with Wi-Fi direct.

I don't know about the picture compression yet because I haven't tested these upcoming products yet.

So BE2 has the same quality of BE1 ?

That is also what I would like to know, if the images are compressed like the other Xperias' (really hate the images of the previous Xperias, the image is deteriorated if you crop it into a smaller size) and what type of lens does these new phones use? does these phones use T Cybershot lenses?

why the Xperia V has Bravia Engine 2 but the others don't? or do they use the same Bravia Engine (T/TX)? and does it also offer Gorilla Glass?

Yeah I wonder if any of this Arc Series is using Carl Zeiss lenses

The Xperia V it's a lot more expensive than the Xperia T/TX so what the Xperiablog said, might be true

http://www.xperiablog.net/2012/08/30/is-the-sony-xperia-v-the-real-new-flagship/

Sony Mobile has touted the Xperia T (LT30p) as the new flagship of its Xperia range. However, if we take its 4.6-inch display size out of the equation, then a strong case can be made that instead the 4.3-inch Sony Xperia V is the real flagship. It carries many of the same features including the chipset (the MSM8960 versus the MSM8260A in the Xperia T are virtually the same), 1GB RAM, 13MP camera, NFC, MHL and PlayStation Certification.

The Sony Xperia V loses out to the Xperia T in terms of storage (8GB of flash storage versus 16GB for the Xperia T), it also has a VGA front camera versus the 1.3MP front camera on the Xperia T. The Xperia V also does not have a dedicated camera shutter key which is a shame and a lower capacity battery. However, the Xperia V improves in a number of areas. It is after all a water and dust resistant device. It also has a higher pixel density display than that seen on the Xperia T.

The real kicker is that there are at least five features that the Xperia V has that is not present in any other Xperia (including the Xperia T/TX):

1) Bluetooth 4.0 (the Xperia T has Bluetooth 3.1).

2) Mobile BRAVIA Engine2: An evolution of Mobile BRAVIA Engine delivering an ever better viewing experience by adding a new real-time contrast optimisation and improving sharpness enhancement on top of high quality colour management and noise reduction.

3) ClearAudio+ mode: Developed with Sony’s own signal processing technologies, allows users to effortlessly enjoy audio quality that may have been stripped away by music compression. ClearAudio+ mode incorporates a variety of Sony’s sound technologies, but with one simple operation, users can easily enjoy Sony recommended sound in ultimate clarity and presence, across the entire spectrum of sound.

4) HDR (High Dynamic Range): The camera quickly captures the image twice with different exposure levels and layers it together to create one optimised photo. HDR is automatically activated when Superior Auto detects scenes with strong backlight.

5) Superior Auto: Technology used in Sony Cyber-shot Digital Cameras that intelligently detects scenes (up to nine scenes), sets most optimal settings for still image, and applies best image processing including layered technology (up to four photos), making it easy to get the best shot even in a dark or backlight scene.

HDR seems like a nice feature

Yep,

If the Xperia V is better (in terms of camera and display(Bravia Engine)) than the Xperia T, I will definitely wait for the Xperia V to be released on Q4.

And I am also wondering will Sony also make a smartphone that has an Adjustable Aperture (since they've been including this for quite sometime now), they are making phones that has Aperture f/2.4 which allows the light pass through the lense in quite the above normal amount (or maybe this is because of the Exmor R or due to sharpness or zoom I am not sure).

For me a fan of photography and the quality the Sony cameras' provide, it would be one heck of a smartphone if they're able to that. Because SLRs are bulky to have with you all the time, even with the carrying case.

I was going to make a jump to Xperia Acro S to Xperia V. but I don't know why it upsets me to see this phone having no hardware camera again. :smileysad::smileycry:

I agree with post. confusing who's the flagship

i examined the photos taken with Xperia T & TX based on what's uploaded on GSMArena.com,and found that the photos are somewhat looked very similar to as taken by Xperia S/Arc,it still has those prominent black dotted lines caused by oversharpening/overcompression. :smileyplus:maybe Sony will bring update to fix it :smileyplus:

here are the photos you can see it for yourself;

but on the upside,:smileyplus: those fast processors and :smileyplus: sexy designs are going to be the reasons i buy either of these phones

I'm still debating, I like all the Xperia V features (list above) BUT I take a LOT of photos and not having a shutter will be a problem, I will have to play with them to be able to decide

Re: Bravia Engine v Bravia Engine 2

Uliwooly — Sun, 02 Sep 2012 16:28:03 GMT

The design is just great, I was a bit surprised that Sony wasn't using the Xperia Arc's amazing design.

didnt know that xperia T is heavy!
and TX is slim!

Re: Bravia Engine v Bravia Engine 2

Uliwooly — Sun, 02 Sep 2012 17:09:55 GMT

The Xperia V it's quite similar on weight to the Xperia Arc so that's good, about the same dimensions of the Xperia S, 20g doesn't seem like a lot, but it does make a big difference

Re: Bravia Engine v Bravia Engine 2

Murphy_Idek — Sun, 02 Sep 2012 17:18:29 GMT

i agree with you,it does make a big difference,and when it's inside the pocket..

btw,Xperia V is quite thick (but light(quite)),maybe its due to extra layer of protection since its IP57certified

Re: Bravia Engine v Bravia Engine 2

Uliwooly — Sun, 02 Sep 2012 17:49:57 GMT

it's as thick as the Xperia S which it's about the same thickness as the Xperia X10, I was never convinced with those models,

Xperia Arc	Xperia T/Tat	Xperia V
125 x 63 x 8.7 mm	129.4 x 67.3 x 9.35 mm	129 x 65 x 10.7 mm
117g	139g / 148g	120g

Xperia S	Xperia TX	Xperia J
128 x 64 x 10.6 mm	131 x 68.6 x 8.6 mm	124.3 x 61.2 x 9.2 mm
144g	127g	124g

Galaxy SIII	iPhone 4S	iPhone 5
136.6 x 70.6 x 8.6 mm	115.2 x 58.6 x 9.3 mm	123.8 x 58.5 x 7.6 mm
133g	140g	---g

X10	Galaxy Nexus	LG Optimus G
119 x 63 x 13 mm	135.5 x 67.9 x 8.9 mm	131.9 x 68.9 x 8.5 mm
133g	135g	145g

The SIII it's only 8.6mm but that's the whole phone, the Arc, TX, T, J, T, V thinnest point it's the number displayed above, which seems misleading.

Based on the picture(s), it seems like the image(s) are still a bit compressed. But overall the image is great.
