Xperia X series 120hz display - Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion

Some Xperia X series phones come with a 120hz display panel this was first mentioned in the XZ Premium forum. Since theres less support for the XZ Premium forum I was wondering if anyone or any rom developers could look into enabling the feature on the XZ.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xz-premium/how-to/120-hz-t3708597

Hmm. Interesting.maybe we can tag the kernel devs to take a look at this

I hope it gets looked into. I can't imagine why Sony would disable this feature. I wonder if it works as well as the Razer phone though. I don't own the XZ but I have the XZP but without root.

Maybe because of battery life? Razor has a big battery but average battery life

I feel that the mah of the battery shouldn't matter though. I mean the XZ premium has 3230mah which isn't much less than the Razer phone which has 4000mah also it has a 4k screen like the Z5 premium so surely that uses some battery. If battery is the reason then they could've at least done 90hz option. Also if people find the battery going down with the use of higher refresh rates then they should be allowed to toggle it off. The software always makes up for battery life. I get 6 hours + sot and I'm sure on the XZ it's pretty decent too.

120hz refresh rate is present and working with the latest slimbit aosp and March vendor files, at least on F8331. Just thought I'd let y'all know

Screen on Drain with 120hz, battery holds my work hours 8.30-17.00 without problem, can't really notice extensive change of battery drain, sorry for the doublepost, can't attach while editing on labs app

is this a system wide 120Hz, like the razor phone? If so all I have to do is get slimbit?

[Q] Is this the best phone for 400€?

As the topic title says, i'm looking for a new phone to replace my boring xperia s (bootloader loocked...) and the maximum i wanna spend is 400€. So,for this money the oppo find 5 is the best option? The feature that i most apreciate is taking photos, and my xperia s do it very well...

The camera is OK but nothing amazing in my experience which is fine for me and Faux kernel has done wonders my battery life (+30-40%). Not sure the camera can compare to the Xperia.
Despite those niggles, I'd recommend the F5 above others to friends if asked but it depends on your needs. I certainly prefer it over the Note 2 and Nexus 4. For me is the sweet spot between size, screen, performance and design.
What else is on your short list?
-- From my Find 5
Exactly the switch I made XS->Find5. I thought about getting the HTC One or the S4, but since I planned on running a custom ROM, I didn't want to pay for features I wouldn't use anyway.
Regrets? No. The Find5 has a Sony Sensor as camera, AFAIK the same as in the XZ. On stock ROM, the cam is pretty good, not so much on custom ROMs, though, usual closed source binary blob problems.

Hi!
If you are looking a brand new one, maybe this is the one with best camera for this price (I dont know anything about Nokia and WP) you can buy for that amount.
If you dont mind, maybe you can take a Xperia Z (same sensor, but better app) in the second market.
P.S: Yes, this is my first post in about 3 years LOL! (I prefer reading)

at the beggining i was thinking about xperia z (i'm a huge fan of the xperia line) or htc one (i don't like the samsung plastic), but i reconsidered that ... 550€ or more for a phone? i think it´s to much, so i stablished the 400€ limit, and for that money, and new phones (not used) i'm in between nexus 4 or the oppo find 5 ( i believe they are the only with superb specs and not so expensive phones ). But the nexus 4 is 4.7 inch screen, and an 8mp camera ( but i guess the 8mp i just a number).
3 things that i consider in a phone : camera; battery; development.
So, what you guys say?
If camera is a priority then you may be better looking elsewhere.
The Find 5 camera is OK in good light but struggles otherwise. My wife has a Nexus 4 and I don't rate that camera either.

I agree the Oppo is nothing to get mad excited about. The camera is very noisy. Actually in HDR mode my pictures on the Nexus 4 turned out way better!

Never had the chance to compare to a Xperia S.
But for the claims made by their commercial it doesn't live up to the promise.

I too am interested in this phone, one of my main concerns is battery life.
When you say you have about 30-40% more battery life, how many screen on time are you talking about? 5-6 hours?
Thank you.

Well you can forget the Stock firmware even with fauxes Kernel it will suck you dry. The best experience as far as battery life i had so far was with Cyanogenmod. Even so it is not running an optimized Kernel it seems to handle power mangement way better!
5-6 hours screen on is way over what you will be able to achieve with normal day 2 day use. For sure you will max out at the moment at 4 hours screen on time.
If you are looking for a new phone with lot's of battery life i would hold of another 1-2 month and see what others have to offer because Oppo didn't even release 4.2 yet but they are planning on in early August. Until then don't bother!
so, in conclusion, despite the problems with the camera ( which i think it's a software problem, not hardware ) for 400€, and with a custom rom, the oppo it's the best phone on the market?

stock camera and stock rom only thing i've done is root and kill the stock launcher, thats it no editing on those either straight out of the phone in full res.

Sorry just saw this... I've tried most of the stock/beta ROMs and as a light to moderate user, it lasts me about 24-36 hours. Without faux kernel I would get around 3 to 3.5 hours screen on (email, twitter, browser, Tapatalk, watching a TV show, taking pics/video and a few calls).
With faux setup for battery life, I can get 4.5 to 5 hours doing the same stuff and there isn't really a performance hit as I'm not doing much needing the phone to run at full speed for long.
It was really the idle drain that was killing it at around ~1.5%-2% per hour rather than ~0.8% with faux. Usually, I'm on wifi and have GPS on and leave them on when sleeping so it was overnight that saw a big improvement.

Yeah I used Stock to for a while and when you do close ups the camera makes some pretty nice pictures. But as soon as contrasts aren't really there anymore it gets potentially noisy.
I mean how much can you really expect from a smartphone camera sensor without any optics to adjust depth.
Your pictures are nice. I made some nice ones myself but they don't measure up to HTC One's Ultrapixel contrast and light condition abilities.
Funny part about all of this is probably that drivers neither on Stock or Custom are really optimized.
I do though still think the state the phone is in right now it is not worth it. Neither Stock Software nor Custom give you a really great experience with the device right now.

After trying numerous stock and custom ROM/kernel combinations, I have to disagree. Last week's Chinese Firefly is, IMO, very usable in terms of performance, battery life, and reliability.

Dont expect camera improvements.

Why?
BTW I think it already takes good pictures.
Maybe not as good as a newer Galaxy or Iphone but still very good. (But yeah it could be better with those hardware specs but maybe they are using their bad sample sensors for their own xperia's and hide behind "software problems" and they couldn't do that anymore when they would allow RAW?)

Ey, is everyone getting the sudden battery drop issue? You guys sure it ain't hardware related? Cuz if it is, I be selling my phone next month if this 5.1 update don't fix it. Gotta go back to removable battery like the G4 or Note 4, really gonna miss my Z1C though.

May be Switching from Note 3 to Moto X Pure

So obviously it's about time for me to get a new phone, considering mine is never going to make it past 5.0 lollipop and various other reasons. I just want to know what to expect if I do end up getting the Moto X Pure. Will I be happy/satisfied with my purchase? Will there be a huge learning curve?

I would say go for it if you don't care about the Spen. The Note 3 is a great phone but I enjoy the Pure alot more. There is no bloat to speak of and you can unlock the bootloader and flash whatever you want. Camera wise the Pure is better. I especially like the Moto display where you can wave your hand in front of the lock screen to see your notifications and unlock it instead of pressing buttons. I would suggest to get at least a 32GB or more model. I currently have the 16GB one and find it too small so I have a 64GB on it's way. It makes things easier when flashing ROMs because you don't need to format the external SD to adaptive storage.

I constantly get 4 - 5hrs screen on time, occasionally it'll get 6hrs screen on time, that was on stock non rooted.
I've also recently rooted and flashed xposed with gravity box and still continue to get very acceptable battery life.
i have the US version of the Pure. Not sure if my phone just got a good battery.

I came from note 3 as well. On it since it came out. I've seen quite a spread on what people get. I'll low ball and say definitely 3 1/2, 4 1/2 with some management. Better build than 3 (expected). You'll have to get used to the color changes. Samsung saturates, so remember that. Someone posted getting 32 at least. I definitely agree with that statement. Don't bother with 16, even with the availability of SD card. Great radio. Unlocked for carriers. Price can't be beat. Only other option would be Nexus 6P.

I was running stock until a couple hours ago and decided to try AICP. So far it's running great.
Def agree with everyone to get 32gb or above. What took me by surprise is this phone has no LED notification.....unless your rooted and running a rom which supports it (most do). Also when you root you will be able to control doze much more efficiently and get much better standby battery. This has the brightest screen I have ever seen (have it on 5%-10% while indoors), great audio jack/speaker sound/reception/camera and battery charges ridiculously quick. It's safe to say you will love this phone.
plz dont buy, battery life is pathetic and if you use xposed it would be worse, i mean really really worse, it feels like 2000mah sometimes :/ , i need to sell it now, and using old nexus 6 again

@spookykidmm, don't listen to this clown. Xposed doesn't affect battery life. If you're running some janky modules, you could run in to issues, but that's not Xposed. Additionally, normal battery life is not pathetic. Battery life on the Galaxy S6 is pathetic. I usually average between 5-6 hrs SOT depending on usage (with or without Xposed). Typically the people on here that complain are in the minority... that's true for nearly every phone. And a lot of times, they screw things up on their own and blame the phone

Since battery depends on many variables like screen brightness, signal strength, apps installed, sync frequency, etc....your setup could be giving you horrible battery life, but explain to me how xposed makes battery that much worse....you must have many modules incorrectly configured.
My girlfriend upgraded from her Note 3 to the Moto X Pure when I upgraded at the same time from my LG G4 to this and we're both EXTREMELY satisfied. Dev support is on the rise so you'll have a few choices in ROMs. I'm currently rockin' TruPureXMM v2.5 with Franken Kernel using his Battery Profile settings, xPosed with GravityBox, Amplify & XGPM and can honestly say I couldn't be much happier with the experience overall.
We have the 64 GB models and neither of us use an sdCard since it's been more than enough for us. Google Photos keeps our photos stored and Google Play Music is our choice of service (Family Plan for $14.99 a month) which lets us stream our over 23,000 song collection and gives us access to any song on Google Play with no ads and since we have T-Mobile the music streaming isn't going against our high speed data, which is very nice. As other are saying, you will enjoy the dual-front speakers, the screen is great, and battery life is within reasonable acceptance. You can squeeze more out of it fairly easily with some tweaking and the quick-charge is INSANE. You can't beat the charger that comes with this phone.

A lot , this feature is designed for AMOLED screens that can fully turn off unused pixels , but on a LCD screen it would have a huge impact on battery life .
Does it really work like in the video? Now, I use this module for months but display don't lights up while picking up.
It doesn't work exactly like in the video.
Operating system is Marshmallow .575
Sorry The screen lights up with notifications. And with flapping hand.
It does not work when lifting.

seems like this can be ported to stock rom too. i hope the devs look into it
Is this real? ???
I am so happy with my XZP, too bad I had lost the headphones offer.
This will make xzp the phone of the year... 2018 of course ???
A user italian xzp tell next update, he have options
Why would Sony make all these devices support 120hz but not add it in the software? Im so pleased to hear my device actually has a 120hz screen but is there no way to change this using just adb like with 4k? Im not ready to lose drm keys yet. Does anyone think it will be possible without root/kernel flash? Thanks

If you look at the dates you will notice that it was a few months ago that this was done. I wonder why nothing was mentioned about it sooner.
It was used on AOSP project
If you know how to build that kernel, then you're ready to go
Check here for more information
https://developer.sonymobile.com/open-devices/

It's not available in there on stock oreo. I've checked it yesterday...
It's only available on AOSP builds which are using that kernel. The feature wasn't pushed yet to the stock ROM.
VERY interesting find! This is really cool stuff (and could even put the Razer Phone to shame!) Has anyone actually tested this however? It could be an option but not even work. However, this is really, really cool!
Oh it would be amazing to see more shots of 120hz on the Xperia XZ Premium. I am curious to know how performance is since it was said the razer phone had additions to reach 120 fps on games. Not sure how true that is. Maybe a video of the feature being enabled would be cool just to see.
I tought that for reach the 120hz you need to upgrade the display hardware of the device, am i wrong?

I am super curious why they would use such hardware though when at the time there would be no need. Also if it doesnt get enabled then what would the point be of Sony doing this? Like having a future proof phone is great but most people upgrade after 2 years because the "free" updates cease. Its the reason I upgraded from my Z2. If Sony offically enable 120hz that would be sooo cool. I think im gonna make a tread for it in the XZ section where theres more support to see what rom developers can do there and see if they can get it to work on their custom roms.
Cut the crap guys. If XZ premium has 120Hz display, there is no way sony disabled it. Instead, sony will advertise as world's first 120Hz 4K display. End of story.

The official update on the kernel code contradicts you and your statement. This entire thread wasn't created from some theories, but from a fact, which is the kernel update.
