yeah sony actually has software limitation. Someone who removed the software limitation said it was louder than the iphone 6 plus.
Dude I think the Zune HD and the Sony walkman at that time were wayyyy superior products to the overpriced Ipods. I reemember ZUNE HD getting unwarranted mockery and hate when everything about it was amazing including the incredible UI, battery, and sheer sound quality. It's louder, but the z3 has better sound seperation and wider soundstage than the zune. It's very old and I feel like sony deserves praise there.
zune hd for most underrated tech product ever? Along with the sony player that came out during that year.
Son'y stabilization has always been ahead and they used EIS which is clearly superior to OIS in video because EIS doesn't have the wobbly effect of OIS. Idk what Sony is using now some sort of hybrid EIS/sensor shift but it's way ahead of the comptition. I'm not sure if it works for photos though but it takes good pictures better tahn the s7 so does it matter?
Heard someone say that the DAC in the XZ is of comprable quality to HTC10 not sure though since not many people have tested out the new XZ. maybe some reviewers who know about sound quality will though?
Oh wow, there's a way to remove the limitation via a root? That's cool. LOL!
Yeah........the Zune HD was IMO ahead of it's time. It was CHEAPER than the iPod and had internet, HD Radio, Windows OS on it, etc. I remember being really p'd off that more people weren't buying it and esp so when MS discontinued it. I discovered some really great bands like Interpol through that HD Radio, which gave you access to more underground stations that you don't get on regular radios.
Not sure on the Sony player from that year/era, but oh totally............most underrated tech product ever: The Zune HD. lol It would be really cool if MS brought it back and just updated its specs. Maybe in "Round 2" it would perhaps catch on more than the original did and become a big hit? Who knows?!
In the past it appeared that the Xperia phones only had a version of OIS on the video, not the pictures. I never heard of EIS. But yeah their new stabilization is supposed to be MONEY! I think it does work on photos too?
I dunno.........the HTC 10's DAC has gotten A TON of high praise, so it's hard for me to believe the XZ is as good, but maybe it's close? I don't even know if the XP or XZ has a dedicated DAC and/or dedicated amp or not? The Z3 I believe had twin dedicated DACs, but not sure now what's up. From my thread I had posted one scathing review of the XP's audio, but then one review saying the XZ's (both have same audio technology) is like the best out there right now. But it's just one........where the HTC 10 has MANY. So I really don't know. lol
