Xperia 1 V increased autofocus speed by 40%, was the ToF sensor pointless? | smartphone summary

Sony Mobile’s upcoming flagship Xperia phone, the Xperia 1 V.

Most of the specs information is still unconfirmed, but at least the actual device looks have been leaked and the rendered images are very reliable.

And as far as visual confirmation is concerned, there is no such thing as a ToF sensor in this Xperia 1 V, and the opinion of scrapping the sensor is strong. (I’m not 100% sure yet)

while,Interesting information about ToF sensor cancellation of the Xperia 1 V and its impactFound.

AF speed increased by 1.4 times with ToF sensor deactivated ?

The information was submitted from Weibo by a Reddit user, and the content is:

The focus speed of the Xperia 1 V is about 40% faster than its predecessor. Sounds like a ToF sensor didn’t make much sense. Of course, the evaluation of image quality is left to the discretion of the user.

BrieflyGetting rid of the ToF sensor on the Xperia 1 V increases autofocus speed by about 40%So, if this is true, it seems arguably a modest but significant improvement in camera performance.

However, as far as I’ve investigated a bit, the ToF sensor“I can’t say 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 because of the high autofocus speed.

However, if the Xperia 1 V’s cancellation of the ToF sensor increases autofocus speed by 40%, then it makes sense to cancel it.

But doesn’t that mean that the image quality is better?

However, as this author writes,Autofocus speed and image quality are another story。
No matter how fast the autofocus 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 having the same telephoto camera, for some reason the Xperia 1 III equipped with a ToF sensor is better than the 5 III, there are definitely voices of doubt.

So even if the Xperia 1 V turns off the actual ToF sensor, I would like to wait for user reviews etc.
