 Hey guys, Thundee here and yes, welcome to my gaming review of the Sony Xperia 1 Mark 2. I know Sony likes to name their device in funky ways, I believe they should have just called this the Sony Xperia Mark 2 but I digress. Well the Xperia 1 Mark 2 is a unique device, it comes in with a 21 by 9 aspect ratio which I actually like, feels really comfortable to hold. This device also has a dedicated camera button as well, because the camera is one of the biggest focus on this device and we'll have a separate video for you and I think this time it's time to get back to doing professional camera review with my buddy, Mary Ansel because this is the kind of phone that requires that kind of video. But that being said though, as I mentioned a dedicated camera button, it's got a lot of features that also lend to gaming as well, you've got stereo speakers built in, you've got Dolby Atmos as well and you've got a display resolution is 3840 by 1644 so you know they claim it's a 4K display but it's got a high resolution either way. Pixel density is really high at 643 ppi so you've got a really nice lovely looking on the display. Now Sony has a couple of modes in the display setting that gives you a great way to just view contents visually and quite perspective so you've got a standard mode which allows you to also add video image enhancements and you also have a creator mode that gives you the ability to look at content the way a creator wanted that content to be set so you've got that especially for your games and of course your movie contents as well. There's also motion blur and you've got a display that also has some couple of cool settings. Now it's 60 hertz in terms of display screen refresh rate but they've added a feature that allows that to function that feels really smooth while gameplay sessions so that yeah you know you can actually game well and properly so without wasting any more time let's check out PUBG Mobile, Call of Duty Mobile and of course some Fortnite. Alright so gaming on here is really solid, Snapdragon 865 processor, 8GB RAM, it's not a problem. You've got 265GB of storage, everything runs smooth, gameplay was H-free, you could see the games run well. In terms of that new feature that gives you just that better smoothness, it felt really smooth especially just navigating the touch controls on the screen so I would say whatever they did they didn't feel like it was 90 hertz to me but it felt very smooth and fast so I'll call it like a 75 in my mind either way. Now the other thing to look at are temperatures, what are temperatures on this device? Well, temps are high, about 100, 101 degrees, there is no special cooling system. The one thing I'll say is heat is dissipated quite well so when you're holding it it doesn't feel as hot as that temperature reading is there on the device. So again, although the temperatures are much higher, I say it actually felt much better because heat was dissipated quite well around the device. Now the other thing to note is that this device comes in with fast charging at 21 watts, wireless charging at 11 watts but it's got a really cool feature that you will find within your game center or the game enhancement. So when you go into a game and we open up a game right here, let's say for instance we're going to open up say Cold Duty Mobile, we pulled down our game center which has like a drop down menu and you've got a couple of things in there. You've got you can change your menu type into a bar or a circle like a PlayStation button focus settings to turn off of course notifications, navigation bar and things like that. You've also got a search screenshot and record options. Record up to 1080p of your display. We've got a game mode. Now the game mode allows you to set it to performance preferred, balance or battery life preferred to increase the battery life. In mind you've got a 4000mAh battery and I'll say this battery has been great for gaming. So one thing gamers will like is the HS power control. Now what this does, it doesn't charge the battery when you're connected. So we actually have this mode on. You plug in USB type C cable to charge your device. What you get is something really unique. So my battery now is at 89% as you keep gaming with this connected and set up. It doesn't charge your battery. It basically feeds power directly to the device. So you can game and not actually drain your battery. So this helps with battery degradation especially when you're gaming for long periods of time. So anyone who's gaming for an hour or two hours or three hours on the mobile device and actually wants to start charging and gaming at the same time. This is a unique and great feature. I love it because I just love the fact that it doesn't affect the battery of the device and I can game for an hour I still have 89% boom I go on my way. And that's actually pretty cool. So I like that feature I like it's actually pretty solid thing in here. Now as gamers you know this is a PlayStation device they just announced the PlayStation 5 and I think this trend will continue here with the Sony Xperia 1 Mark II. The ability to use your PlayStation controller it syncs quite seamlessly to this device. And also you can stream your PlayStation games directly to your smartphone with a remote app feature being able to play Spider-Man. And again I can't wait for that new Spider-Man with Miles Morales in there. But the ability to play it on your phone anywhere around the world is great. They're on-screen controls but of course it's the best use in your PlayStation controller. Plus you can use that controller to play Call of Duty Mobile as well. So Call of Duty Mobile fans you can use that on there. Now you guys also noticed I was able to use my Razer Keyshift controller to play Fortnite that works with this device as well. Yes it does have a display that's about 6.5 inches but everything fits and works well. So those aspects are great. Now when it comes to audio, stereo speakers are nice. They're clean and clear. You've also got that dynamic vibration. The one thing I don't like with the stereo speakers is they're not as loud as other speakers. I didn't do a speaker test because the numbers came out really low. But I did like the clarity of the speakers. It's got Dolby Atmos as well. And I love the fact that this device as thin as it is still has a headphone jack which is great. You can listen to music with either wirelessly with my Sony 1001 Mark 3's or I can connect them wired to say something like my Hi-Fi Mandeva which also does Bluetooth as well. Don't sleep on these pair of headphones. They are really good. But the fact that I can connect them wired as well is a huge treat. I think this device besides the photography features which we'll get into in another video which sound really good. As a smartphone and as a gamer, you're going to get the full capabilities. It doesn't have 12 gigs of RAM or 16 gigs of RAM as some other devices may have. It's got 8 and it works well. I had no issues with that. Heat dissipation was great. Temperatures were much higher than I would like. But I did like the way it handled that well. So I think Sony has done a good job here and I think a lot of people would like what this has to offer as a gaming device. Tell us that feature where you can plug in your charger and it doesn't actually drain your battery. It doesn't charge or drain the battery but you can just game through. It's a great feature. So anyway guys, let me know what you think about the Sony Xperia 1 Mark 2 in terms of gaming. Also, what else would you like to see from this device? Any comparisons you care about?
