It's exactly the disappointment I would expect from Sony. Great build quality with a solid idea, but overpriced and largely flawed. Even their camera focused phone still uses their largely lacking and slow camera processing. It's the same story for every modern Sony. It's the exact same problems I have with my Xperia 5 II.
I still think the xperia pro I I great. I have the Xperia 1, being more limited than this one. I clearly think that it can take among the best photos/videos.
I have both a 1 III and a 13 Pro. And I enjoy the Sony pictures more. They can look like they come from a DSLR (kinda), but the iPhone... The pictures coming from it can look good... And that's it. Nothing stands out, details are weirdly processed, etc. I can understand that the iPhone is easier to use, but quality wise I'm happier with the Sony I think the same goes for this Pro I. It's expensive for sure, but it has its appeal in my opinion
My girl has the iPhone 13 Pro Max and while it's certainly is impressively easy to point click and has the proraw essentially an Adobe camera profile basically which has built in noise processing and sharpening with raw flexibility.... My 1iii and Pro-I do definitely have the edge... The iPhone may have an slightly advantage in low light due to the larger apperture... Admittedly, I also need to find what works best for me in low light as I don't shoot so often in just pure bad light... The pro-i is largely more flexible in post than the 1iii in lower light situations... Because you can pretty significantly underexpose on the pro-i and boost in post... Where as the 1iii image tends to breakdown if you try and push shadows too hard in post... The pro-i also feels like it has a little more give in the highlights as well... Where as the shadow boosting capabilities on the pro-i may be like 50 percent better than on the 1iii... The highlights are maybe only 15-25 percent more salvageable on the pro-i vs the 1iii... But if you shoot a little underexposed this thing can almost boost shadows to the extent that my a6100 can in post... I shoot the phone in raw plus jpg all the time... Most of the time in P mode... And then switch to full manual and speed priority in some situations if it calls for it...
I've had the Pro i for two weeks now. A great device..... This is a real camera!!! The pictures are incredible and have nothing to do with smartphones. The software is extremely intuitive and very easy to use. If you enjoy taking photos but don't want to take a large camera with you, you should definitely take a look at the device. If you just want to take snapshots, you can buy a Pixel 6 for €650 and get a super snapshot...... But the Pro i is something completely different.
The only thing people need to understand is that it's the perfect phone for people who have a vision for what they want their shot to look like... They want the flexibility to take a picture with 100 percent control of the output... And it will take time to understand it's not a for someone who doesn't take their photos/videos very seriously... Even on a standard mirrorless camera since when does point shoot workout for your 99 percent of the time... I would say you are wrong for not recommending this phone... It's should be recommended for people that want all these features or for people really wanting to learn to take better photos... It might not however be recommended for some who has no time or willingness to learn or have any knowledge in the features this has to offer... Also does your mirrorless cameras controls shift locations Everytime you turn the camera sideways or upsidedown haha the reason the cameras controls don't shift around is because they want you develop near muscle memory of the location of the controls... Yeah there are times where yeah it might be nice to shift the controls but it's not necessary once you are used to it... I think maybe there should be a menu option that allows it to rotate... For example when you are using it in portrait rather than landscape like on a tripod... But honestly I prefer to take photos and horizontally 99 percent of the time... It's a phone that should be recommended but with the understanding that it's not going to make you into a miracle photographer... You have to be the brains behind the shots... And honestly, just the act of using a phone like this everyday has made picking up a real camera much easier because I'm constantly thinking with a similar mindset... Now for the most part I can think of the shot I want on a real camera and just nail it almost first try... So I'd argue it's taught me a lot of skills that do translate to a real dedicated camera... So while the phone isn't for everyone... It should be said that it is 💯 for those that wish to use the features... it's nice being able to have this kind of creative control and flexibility ready to fire straight out of my pocket with the push of a button as I definitely don't carry my a6100 all day everyday...
My issue is the price. It’s too expensive. We can talk all day about having full manual control and “pro” settings but there are tons of other phones that offer this. Samsung has had pro mode for years and they were the first ones to introduce a dual aperture that you could switch. Samsung even offers focus peaking. LG has focus peaking and zebras for exposure. Filmic Pro offers way more video centric manual controls and it’s a $10 app. RAW capture is now available on any phone and in tons of third party apps. Rotation isn’t as important on a camera as it is a PHONE which this is. Professionals take portrait shots all of the time. The settings are lackluster and the fact it has different apps for video, cinema video, and photo is ridiculous. The iPhone has been used on professional movies and used to capture professional photos used in publications. It has the most basic camera app but with a few third party options it’s extremely capable and comes in at a far cheaper price point.
@@OT4Tech yeah true... it is expensive haha I'm loving mine haha and the Xperia 1iii haha the only thing I miss on the 1iii is the 105mm... filmic pro is also available on this as well which I haven't used in quite some time but it's nice to have an app built by the factory with all things built to work as intended... Maybe in future versions it will add some zebra support or focus peaking... I personally would just like to have focus peaking and a standard histogram... Where as filmic pro definitely has plenty useful features I've found that the app will crash a bit if you try to do something you aren't supposed to haha 😂... Personally I think the phone struck a good balance of extra control and flexibility and still keeping it simple to use for someone who isn't a full blown cinematographer or videographer... Also, still keeping the interface relatively easy to use... The phone is expensive but if you look at the price of an iPhone 13 pro max and then add in the same amount of storage... Then you are getting kinda close... But you do still get a headphone jack and some features a lot of phones don't have anymore... Plus an included fast charger... In general phones have become too expensive... But it happens with everything... Samsung makes great phones too so does Apple and Google... If all phones were the same then it would be pretty boring in my opinion... Let's just hope they keep improving they've made big steps the last few phones and with the smartphone division now as part of the camera department I think it will only get better from here...
@@OT4Tech So you dont have an issue with A Samsung Galaxy S21 ultra phone that costs when it was released almost as much as this phone? The reason I guess that everyone argues about the price is, that Samsung came so much early with almost the same specs, and is now much cheaper, while SONYS is all new and has the same price the Samsung had almost a year ago? The Strange thing is, when Samsung releases their phones, sure with new specs and all, no one talks about how expensive and out of order the prices are, because they are, and not only for Sony phones, its for almost every phone except chinese devices. But there is no discussions for how much Samsung and Apple can take on their devices, ut everytime SONY is taking premium prices on their premium devices is always to much. Despite the fact Storage is expensiv, and 512GB is not cheap, 4K screen is not cheap. So in sense people want SONY to rather LOOSE money than earn money? But its ok for Samsung and Apple to earn money on their phones with expensive parts? I dont get this.... Cinese companies can, do phones with premium specs and premium parts because they dont really have to pay their workers as much as SONY has to pay their or Samsung. Chinese companies gets a lot of support from the Chinese state as well, wich do the thing that a CHinese premium phone costs almost 50% less than a Premium phone from Samsung, Apple and SONY. Sony cant do less prices, because that would get them out of buisness. But for me its strange that Samsung and Apple can take horrid prices, and SONY cant? Makes no sense.
The maxed out S21 Ultra with 16gb of RAM was $400 cheaper lol... that's a big price difference given that yes the phone also came out way earlier. Also, let's not forget about the constant sales and excellent trade in deals Samsung offers.
@@Dragontrumpetare to your point selling more also allows companies to make things cheaper specifically when it comes to mass production and all that fun stuff
It's difficult for me. The pick up and shoot features are something I kind of need. I can never be bothered to stand around and adjust everything exactly but Sony have so many incredible features no other phone on the market has. The headphone jack to me is the major one but there's also the aspect ratio and other minor things like the lanyard strap and the solid build quality. It's a tough decision.
I ordered it and I'm excited to test something. A real camera is just too big for me.It was a good offer with a contract. Just a little more expensive than a S22Ultra
The camera is extremely instinctive for photographers, especially alpha camera users. So disagree with you. I get lost when I want to input settings for most phones, except for Xperia series of phones.
I’m an alpha camera user myself and have been for several years. The experience is far more confusing than switching to pro mode on other smartphones which doesn’t involve leaving the camera app. But, that’s been my experience. I’m glad yours has been fine.
You expect that alpha camera users are going to be the main demographic of buyers and that they want to fiddle with their phone to get a nice shot when they already own a camera that covers those bases.
@@blackoctopus5182 I know. My ex is professional wedding photographer. She runs a very successful business. She told me sometimes she'll use her phone for a quick shot or when she doesn't want to carry her camera. But notice how I said quick shot... She is NOT looking to fiddle thru menus and controls to take pictures with her phone. Kinda defeats the purpose otherwise.
@@iluvcakes19 either way, if she does or doesn't adjust the settings, still a non over processed image can be post processed, on a regular phone there will be artifacts that cannot be removed, it's about the processing of the camera and not the hdr and AI, the processing is just too much, turning off AI and hdr and going to manual mode the over sharpening and too much noise reduction and too much added clarity is still there, the point is regardless if the it's taken on auto or manual or pro mode, the difference is still huge, not just the pro i but every Xperia flagships' photos look more like they're taken on a camera than they're taken on a phone and I'm saying that bcuz photos from smartphones...you know, they look different from cameras, not worse but different!, and I'm not saying that in a good way, it could be good for some but not for others since photos from cameras don't look sharp and bright and saturated as how they do on a smartphone, and that's something not a regular person would appreciate, but a photographer will, that's why it's not for regular consumers but more for people who don't like their phones to process for them
I don't get the option of needing to buy an extra monitor for vlogging, with the ertra monitor, and cable connector and hand grip/tripod device all that extra gear is the equivalent of a dslr with extra lenses not to mention a storage bag to carry it all with you, you may just as well buy the cheaper rx100 vii with a flip screen for vlogging. For the price they could have simply added a mini screen on the back cover or better still a better front camera. It totally doesn't make sense to me.
Great video. How ever lets not fool each other. To get 1TB iPhone pro that records pro res you will cash out 1600 va 1000 on this Xperia for same storage space. Video quality mostly for 120 4k and skin tones is unmatched. And most of all screw Samsung and others for removing SD card. This fact is unforgiving. As that pushes the price to top tier on any of them. So that we can shoot RAW. Phone pricing renders all the phones you mentioned useless for decent storage, and ability to record stunning visuals , no other phone renders colours so naturally beautiful. Not even iPhone pro max maximus ultra Golf Spilberg edition. And if i just want to take pretty videos for my family my S7 edge is great enough. Just like 90% of other reviewers you missed the point of what this is what Sony is doing. Its like give you top tier oil paints and you complain for not having a pencil. All of you reviewers are the same bitching about lack of consumer features. Its called a PRO I so treat it like a magic lantern not a freaking Nokia 310
Thanks Jonathan, for honest review! Very narratively and well made! This phone put my attention of that "tech pinnacle" sensor for mobiles that they took out Stacked sensor from their RX cams, but were so dissapointed that it actually is using sensor area of equivalent of 1/1.3" type sensor. Yess, seen in comments that some Sony fanboys or representatives from company are trying to defend this interesting but unfinished product, this is keeping me smilind and sad though, as how consumers can be tricked nowadays. Yes, Sony does clearly states that this is 1" type sensor in europe and in US they kinda claim its 1 inch, but they do not show at any of their spec sheet that this is CROPPED image corresponding of about 60% of its area.. Thats the worse thing. Yes, the equivalent is about same as pixel 6's GN1 sensor, yes its stacked, it has very fast readout, but overall images comes very washed away and video recording with given Sony's apps looks mushy. If they claim its not overprocessed - they only do mean its not oversharpened. But video stills looks very mushy and with heavily used NR applied. Sony looks kinda fixed using mcpro24fps app for video, but still there are caps and it provides worse footage even than Xperia 5 mk2. As for RAW image files, as I had hands to test them out - there are definately some processing made baking those raw images - some NR preapplied and oversharpening. These are definately not true raw images (yes, even FF dslr or mirroless applies corrections for raws, but on this phone its like next step further). If I would be sony fanboy I would opt only for Xperia 5 mark 2 or 3. This Pro I's price its madness.
You need to use manual mode and Know what you are doing to get the Full potential, lot's of youtubers miss this ! it will beat all competition if you do.
"in order to get adequate results to what would you get on other smartphones, you need to avoid auto mode" like seriously, you guys act like auto mode shots are unusable on the Xperia!, sorry but in that I don't agree! Yeah it's less processed, but it doesn't mean that it can't stand next to other flagships in auto mode! the difference is just that in high contrast scenes the hdr on Xperia is sometimes not as intense as on other flagships, and at night scenes the shots aren't as bright as on other flagship, but a slight adjustment can give a similar result, the Xperia tends to give a natural exposure to how you expect it to look like, but by only increasing the exposure in auto mode to +2 will result in a bright image with a bright sky
I gonna say this as a Sony fan for their overall Xperia lineup. Yes, the phone is cool but I never recommend it to any of my friends. Because Xperia phone is weird and not really "family friendly". For me Xperia phone is like it have everything, but that does not mean everything is good. I personally buy Xperia phone because of it's unique feature like 4K 21:9.
Great review. Really good information about the sensor. Didn't hear anyone else talking about how the sensor readout happens. This was very helpful. Thanks
4K screen is not a gimmick. It's equivalent to 1440p IPS LCD. Due to the nature of the sub pixel layouts, RGB vs RGBG. If you have a 1440p RGBG like Samsung, it's actually as sharp as a 1080p IPS LCD.
Jonathan, Thank you for the very complete review. You are not wrong, Sony nailed several features but missed on other features. The price point is always going to be a bone of contention. The audio needs to be better on this phone, and great audio has to be a must, this is a phone, after all. It looked warm when you were shooting this video, as many of us are shivering. Take Care. Stay Safe.
iPhone doesn’t have manual controls… I was referring to other android devices. Enabling ProRaw on the iPhone or DNG RAW on other android devices eliminates the majority of the computational processing.
Wow, J you just went ham, lol...but I can fully understand it. You're calling it as you see it and there is nothing wrong with that. Keep doing your thing.
Good afternoon, I am also a photographer and videographer. Say please? Which is better for photos and videos: SONY XPERIA PRO-I or the new SONY XPERIA 1V, 5V models, please advise, tell me which one to take? Thank you very much in advance!
It takes 3 images at 3 different exposures and stacks them like traditional mirrorless cameras. It is not to the same extent as other phones utilizing multi frame HDR + computational processing. This is one area where I will say the results are subjective since sometimes the computational part is very aggressive and looks too fake. However, you can also disable the computational processing on many phones.
Fair review for xperia pro I but i hope you mention about feature that use benefit of rx100VII Sensor such as incredibly fast autofocus,20FPS with realtime tracking that no phone on the market can do it(You should show how it work when compare to another phone or just show it in video about 20FPS because i think it help a lot when take moving picture like children or animal) , high readout speed sensor for no rolling shutter,Zeiss T* coating that reduce the flare on the photos *Sorry for my bad english *Overall i really like your review
I showcased the tracking capabilities in the video and mentioned things like eye AF and animal tracking. However, the 20fps is not really a huge feature. Phones like the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra are capable of shooting 30fps burst and at times exceeding that. In fact, since they can record 8K 30fps that alone gives you higher megapixel frames vs the Sony just by recording video. The zeiss coating is nice but no need to mention it since Xperia phones have used that coating since the beginning. Additionally, there is no option to use zeiss processing like you get on the Vivo x70 Pro. Rolling shutter is still very bad on the Xperia Pro-I when recording video since this in when you need to worry about rolling shutter not necessarily when capturing photos.
@@OT4Tech about rolling shutter I read on sony website they advertise "anti distortion shutter" it suppress rolling shuter effect that can distort images when photographing fast moving subject like fast moving car and 20FPS of xperia pro I it calculate auto focus,auto exposure at 60 time persecond like sony alpha 9
Well, there are reasons for why Sony chose to do this crop thin on the sensor. The lenses are to close to the sensor because they wanted to dont make to huge of a bump. YOu should be able to have your phone in your pocket, right. Sony could have done a real bump, and you wouldnt be able to have the phone in your pocket. So there is the reason for why this compromise is made. And to be frank, SONY stated its a 1.0-typ sensor, sadly it seemed like a language barrier of somesort for when this info got to america and other places it became 1-inch sensor. Sony has always said its not utilises the whole 1.0-type sensor, and thats from day 1. The thing is, even though the sensor is eqiuvalent to sensors used in other brands like Samsung or apples iPhone the fact is, that other brands still using sensors that are MADE for phones, not cameras. Sonys sensor is made for cameras not phones. So this is an achievment. There are positiv things that comes with this choise. So if you have the opinion its a lackluster phones and confusing i guess you dont understand what you should use this phone for and you aint the customer type its made for.
Everything you said can be argued. Leica and Sharp both have true 1” camera sensors on their phones and the camera bump while noticeable does not protrude any more than the Sony. Also, the full sensor is still in the camera. The limitation is through software cropping. Sony clearly states on their own website it’s a 1” sensor so you cannot say their was a language barrier… you’re making up excuses for Sony’s failures.. The majority of camera sensors found in phones are made by Sony and while yes they are made for smartphones they go through the same manufacturing process. It’s the onboard ISP’s that change the way the image looks. That’s why despite 3 different phones from 3 different manufactures having the same sensors, images can look way different. Lastly, when I say the experience is lackluster it has nothing to do with the sensor. It’s the fact you need 3 different camera apps. That alone makes a confusing and lackluster experience. They can easily be merged into a single app. I have reviewed multiple smartphone cameras and I have shot on Sony pro camera for years. I can tell you right now this “ain’t” it chief…
@@OT4Tech FOr me those phones you mention has big bumps on the back, and their quite noticable. 2. It seems like only in US and maybe America, SONY is actually saying 1-Inch sensor, but its not what it says over here in Sweden or Europe or Asia for that matter. Then its a 1.0 type sensor. And even MKHBD explains the crop as a hardware thing. Not Software. Because its to close to the sensor. And why do all reviewers missed the Pixel Pitch that is on this phone 2.4 microns? 3. For me its actually less confusing with this 2 or 3 apps approach SONY has. I noticed for instance when my mother is trying to film, she can never understand she has to scroll among the features within the app. SHe still is searching for video. If she had a SONY Xperia 5 III for instance, she would just have to open up the app for video, and she could film right away. In my eyes its actually less confusing. But we are all different. 4. I get that this phone isn't for everyone. Not everyone knows how to use a camera the correct way especially a SONY phone. But the thing is SONYS smartphones still is the best camera smartphone out there that can mimic a alpha camera form SONY, and makes the very same things as they do. Alpha cameras is also very bad at computational photography. They also has some of the issues Xperia 1 III, Xperia 5 III and this Xperia Pro-I has... But if you plan and knows what you want, you can in sense only do it on the Xperia phones.
This is problem,these reviewer are common people and doesn't understand the micro level technology,so for example he said that screen of glxy, iphone is better but in real life both not even close to Xperia,so I don't say on his view on camera,look urself real photos or fake , decide yourself
@@OT4Tech But you didn't compare secreen indoor,why u only compare outdoor, Xperia has 4k resolution and very high pixel density,so it's not possible to bright in outdoor
Not sure why you want to use the phone upside down when all the buttons are on the other side, especially with the shutter button which is how you would use a camera. And you do need to know how to take pictures, it is a camera first and phone second.
Хороший обзор, фото на гугл пиксель не похожи на фото, сильный перешарп. Айфон чуть менее, но все равно видно, что цифровая обработка. На сони фото художественные и можно вытянуть все соки. Но селфи камера просто ужасная и при такой цене. Надеюсь, в следующем поколении это исправят, тогда можно почку продавать)))
Not everyone like pre processed and contrasty pics. I couldn't find any innovation after ip11 series. If you find something can you compare ip11 vs iph13.
It's sensor isn't even much bigger than the imx 789 sensor in the one plus 9 pro ... Love the software interface on the pro I but for 1800 bucks I'll keep my 9 pro ... At it's sensor core the I pro isn't much special since it's not using the full 1 inch sensor ... It just has a nice interface to use :)
@@OT4Tech not a huge fan of LTPO tech on the market. Theoretically yes, LTPO can be a huge battery saver. However implementations on the market today, specifically phones that ship with LTPO 1.0 (S21, Pixel 6, etc) have their quirks. On Pixel 6 you have the option of fixed 60Hz or VRR. There have been reports of users with VRR with phones never stepping down to 10Hz, users that have 60Hz idle on home screen, users that cannot maintain 120Hz, etc. With Sony you can keep phone at 60Hz, and have game enhancer update the refresh rate while gaming. A simpler, more practical, and more reliable way to adjust refresh rate in my opinion. Until LTPO matures I much prefer the KISS approach.
Can also not use selfie camera in photo pro. a waste. i sometimes want to take a selfie with a lot background and make it as sharp as possible. so difficult now. im using the 5ii
Sup Mister Casey and everyone I'm 47 and I'm still trying to learn about new technology so that these young whippersnappers don't ask me things I don't know like what lol means
Complaining isn’t the same thing as constructive criticism. That’s how products improve and companies are held accountable for problems. Not everyone gets a trophy.
This is exactly the disappointment I would expect from Sony. Great build quality with a solid idea, but overpriced and largely flawed. Even their camera focused phone still uses their largely lacking and slow camera processing. It's the same story for every modern Sony. It's the exact same problems I have with my Xperia 5 II.
I don't have slow camera processing on XPERIA 1 III. There is no Camera app anymore, only Photo Pro and that is the reason why camera processing is now fast. On Xperia 1 it was too slow, on XPERIA 1 II a little quicker and on XPERIA 1 III it is quick as it should be
Finally someone who has the same analysis as me of Sony smartphones and particularly this Xperia Pro i. It's true that the ergonomics of a 21/9 smartphone is almost perfect, but apparently people don't really like smartphones that are too long and not wide enough, it's too much of a remote control 🤣, 19/9 to 20/9 would not be bad. But Sony's 2 big problems are first of all, the rendering of photo-video a little too natural that the general public does not really appreciate, but above all the price of Sony smartphones. Sony would do well to put a standard photo application that has photo-video processing much like the iPhones, Samsung, Pixel and a Pro photo-video application. I am convinced that with this recipe and $600 to $800 less on the price of this smartphone, it would have sold like hot cakes, especially since Sony remains today to be the last major manufacturer to still offer memory card support and the jack port on its high-end smartphones. Ps: also an option to choose between 60, 90 and 120 hertz (90 hertz being the ideal compromise between fluidity and autonomy), for me all smartphones with 120 hertz should offer this option like the Asus, and frankly a 4k screen on such a tiny display surface serves no purpose other than to drain the battery. The ideal on smartphone for me is the hybrid resolution of iPhones Pro between FHD and 2k.
$600 to $800 xperia pro series is just impossible. Mark series mayb. But the price is already good. Sits in the middle of of samsung flagship and iphone. Even these two brands has variant that is more expensive but people don't realized.
Actually you should to learn first photography and videography’s //as much I remembered 2015 /16 once a while Sony released 10+ there’s only two camera which one is iPhone 13pro equivalent.you should to try hands on studying that devices first than come to Sony mark 1234 5 and pro-I….🤪😜😝
How come others have way better results than you? Especially the videos I’ve watched, maybe they know the manuals better I guess.. some have pro like results.. u have to be one of the worst when it comes to this camera loool

Now for the most part I can think of the shot I want on a real camera and just nail it almost first try... So I'd argue it's taught me a lot of skills that do translate to a real dedicated camera... So while the phone isn't for everyone... It should be said that it is 💯 for those that wish to use the features... it's nice being able to have this kind of creative control and flexibility ready to fire straight out of my pocket with the push of a button as I definitely don't carry my a6100 all day everyday...
My issue is the price. It’s too expensive. We can talk all day about having full manual control and “pro” settings but there are tons of other phones that offer this. Samsung has had pro mode for years and they were the first ones to introduce a dual aperture that you could switch. Samsung even offers focus peaking. LG has focus peaking and zebras for exposure. Filmic Pro offers way more video centric manual controls and it’s a $10 app. RAW capture is now available on any phone and in tons of third party apps. Rotation isn’t as important on a camera as it is a PHONE which this is. Professionals take portrait shots all of the time. The settings are lackluster and the fact it has different apps for video, cinema video, and photo is ridiculous. The iPhone has been used on professional movies and used to capture professional photos used in publications. It has the most basic camera app but with a few third party options it’s extremely capable and comes in at a far cheaper price point.
@@OT4Tech yeah true... it is expensive haha I'm loving mine haha and the Xperia 1iii haha the only thing I miss on the 1iii is the 105mm... filmic pro is also available on this as well which I haven't used in quite some time but it's nice to have an app built by the factory with all things built to work as intended... Maybe in future versions it will add some zebra support or focus peaking... I personally would just like to have focus peaking and a standard histogram... Where as filmic pro definitely has plenty useful features I've found that the app will crash a bit if you try to do something you aren't supposed to haha 😂... Personally I think the phone struck a good balance of extra control and flexibility and still keeping it simple to use for someone who isn't a full blown cinematographer or videographer... Also, still keeping the interface relatively easy to use... The phone is expensive but if you look at the price of an iPhone 13 pro max and then add in the same amount of storage... Then you are getting kinda close... But you do still get a headphone jack and some features a lot of phones don't have anymore... Plus an included fast charger... In general phones have become too expensive... But it happens with everything... Samsung makes great phones too so does Apple and Google... If all phones were the same then it would be pretty boring in my opinion... Let's just hope they keep improving they've made big steps the last few phones and with the smartphone division now as part of the camera department I think it will only get better from here...
@@OT4Tech So you dont have an issue with A Samsung Galaxy S21 ultra phone that costs when it was released almost as much as this phone? The reason I guess that everyone argues about the price is, that Samsung came so much early with almost the same specs, and is now much cheaper, while SONYS is all new and has the same price the Samsung had almost a year ago? The Strange thing is, when Samsung releases their phones, sure with new specs and all, no one talks about how expensive and out of order the prices are, because they are, and not only for Sony phones, its for almost every phone except chinese devices. But there is no discussions for how much Samsung and Apple can take on their devices, ut everytime SONY is taking premium prices on their premium devices is always to much.
Despite the fact Storage is expensiv, and 512GB is not cheap, 4K screen is not cheap. So in sense people want SONY to rather LOOSE money than earn money? But its ok for Samsung and Apple to earn money on their phones with expensive parts? I dont get this....
Cinese companies can, do phones with premium specs and premium parts because they dont really have to pay their workers as much as SONY has to pay their or Samsung. Chinese companies gets a lot of support from the Chinese state as well, wich do the thing that a CHinese premium phone costs almost 50% less than a Premium phone from Samsung, Apple and SONY. Sony cant do less prices, because that would get them out of buisness. But for me its strange that Samsung and Apple can take horrid prices, and SONY cant? Makes no sense.
The maxed out S21 Ultra with 16gb of RAM was $400 cheaper lol... that's a big price difference given that yes the phone also came out way earlier. Also, let's not forget about the constant sales and excellent trade in deals Samsung offers.
@@Dragontrumpetare to your point selling more also allows companies to make things cheaper specifically when it comes to mass production and all that fun stuff
It's difficult for me. The pick up and shoot features are something I kind of need. I can never be bothered to stand around and adjust everything exactly but Sony have so many incredible features no other phone on the market has. The headphone jack to me is the major one but there's also the aspect ratio and other minor things like the lanyard strap and the solid build quality. It's a tough decision.
I ordered it and I'm excited to test something. A real camera is just too big for me.It was a good offer with a contract. Just a little more expensive than a S22Ultra
The camera is extremely instinctive for photographers, especially alpha camera users. So disagree with you. I get lost when I want to input settings for most phones, except for Xperia series of phones.
I’m an alpha camera user myself and have been for several years. The experience is far more confusing than switching to pro mode on other smartphones which doesn’t involve leaving the camera app. But, that’s been my experience. I’m glad yours has been fine.
You expect that alpha camera users are going to be the main demographic of buyers and that they want to fiddle with their phone to get a nice shot when they already own a camera that covers those bases.
@@iluvcakes19 even photographers with professional cameras still use their smartphones for shots, bcuz they don't have their camera with them 24/7!
@@blackoctopus5182 I know. My ex is professional wedding photographer. She runs a very successful business. She told me sometimes she'll use her phone for a quick shot or when she doesn't want to carry her camera. But notice how I said quick shot... She is NOT looking to fiddle thru menus and controls to take pictures with her phone. Kinda defeats the purpose otherwise.
@@iluvcakes19 either way, if she does or doesn't adjust the settings, still a non over processed image can be post processed, on a regular phone there will be artifacts that cannot be removed, it's about the processing of the camera and not the hdr and AI, the processing is just too much, turning off AI and hdr and going to manual mode the over sharpening and too much noise reduction and too much added clarity is still there, the point is regardless if the it's taken on auto or manual or pro mode, the difference is still huge, not just the pro i but every Xperia flagships' photos look more like they're taken on a camera than they're taken on a phone and I'm saying that bcuz photos from smartphones...you know, they look different from cameras, not worse but different!, and I'm not saying that in a good way, it could be good for some but not for others since photos from cameras don't look sharp and bright and saturated as how they do on a smartphone, and that's something not a regular person would appreciate, but a photographer will, that's why it's not for regular consumers but more for people who don't like their phones to process for them
I don't get the option of needing to buy an extra monitor for vlogging, with the ertra monitor, and cable connector and hand grip/tripod device all that extra gear is the equivalent of a dslr with extra lenses not to mention a storage bag to carry it all with you, you may just as well buy the cheaper rx100 vii with a flip screen for vlogging. For the price they could have simply added a mini screen on the back cover or better still a better front camera. It totally doesn't make sense to me.
Thank you! This is exactly what I’m saying. Im happy to see someone agreeing with me. ✊
Great video. How ever lets not fool each other. To get 1TB iPhone pro that records pro res you will cash out 1600 va 1000 on this Xperia for same storage space. Video quality mostly for 120 4k and skin tones is unmatched. And most of all screw Samsung and others for removing SD card. This fact is unforgiving. As that pushes the price to top tier on any of them. So that we can shoot RAW. Phone pricing renders all the phones you mentioned useless for decent storage, and ability to record stunning visuals , no other phone renders colours so naturally beautiful. Not even iPhone pro max maximus ultra Golf Spilberg edition. And if i just want to take pretty videos for my family my S7 edge is great enough. Just like 90% of other reviewers you missed the point of what this is what Sony is doing.
Its like give you top tier oil paints and you complain for not having a pencil. All of you reviewers are the same bitching about lack of consumer features. Its called a PRO I so treat it like a magic lantern not a freaking Nokia 310
Thanks Jonathan, for honest review! Very narratively and well made! This phone put my attention of that "tech pinnacle" sensor for mobiles that they took out Stacked sensor from their RX cams, but were so dissapointed that it actually is using sensor area of equivalent of 1/1.3" type sensor. Yess, seen in comments that some Sony fanboys or representatives from company are trying to defend this interesting but unfinished product, this is keeping me smilind and sad though, as how consumers can be tricked nowadays. Yes, Sony does clearly states that this is 1" type sensor in europe and in US they kinda claim its 1 inch, but they do not show at any of their spec sheet that this is CROPPED image corresponding of about 60% of its area.. Thats the worse thing. Yes, the equivalent is about same as pixel 6's GN1 sensor, yes its stacked, it has very fast readout, but overall images comes very washed away and video recording with given Sony's apps looks mushy. If they claim its not overprocessed - they only do mean its not oversharpened. But video stills looks very mushy and with heavily used NR applied.
Sony looks kinda fixed using mcpro24fps app for video, but still there are caps and it provides worse footage even than Xperia 5 mk2.
As for RAW image files, as I had hands to test them out - there are definately some processing made baking those raw images - some NR preapplied and oversharpening. These are definately not true raw images (yes, even FF dslr or mirroless applies corrections for raws, but on this phone its like next step further).
If I would be sony fanboy I would opt only for Xperia 5 mark 2 or 3. This Pro I's price its madness.
You need to use manual mode and Know what you are doing to get the Full potential, lot's of youtubers miss this ! it will beat all competition if you do.
"in order to get adequate results to what would you get on other smartphones, you need to avoid auto mode" like seriously, you guys act like auto mode shots are unusable on the Xperia!, sorry but in that I don't agree! Yeah it's less processed, but it doesn't mean that it can't stand next to other flagships in auto mode! the difference is just that in high contrast scenes the hdr on Xperia is sometimes not as intense as on other flagships, and at night scenes the shots aren't as bright as on other flagship, but a slight adjustment can give a similar result, the Xperia tends to give a natural exposure to how you expect it to look like, but by only increasing the exposure in auto mode to +2 will result in a bright image with a bright sky
I gonna say this as a Sony fan for their overall Xperia lineup. Yes, the phone is cool but I never recommend it to any of my friends.
Because Xperia phone is weird and not really "family friendly".
For me Xperia phone is like it have everything, but that does not mean everything is good.
I personally buy Xperia phone because of it's unique feature like 4K 21:9.
Great review. Really good information about the sensor. Didn't hear anyone else talking about how the sensor readout happens. This was very helpful. Thanks
4K screen is not a gimmick. It's equivalent to 1440p IPS LCD. Due to the nature of the sub pixel layouts, RGB vs RGBG. If you have a 1440p RGBG like Samsung, it's actually as sharp as a 1080p IPS LCD.
4k screen is a gimmick. Sorry if you can't realize that
@@CZP-01 Care to explain why? I listed out the facts which makes it not a gimmick.
Agree, It's Difficult to Use Apps if Rotation Locked 👍
Jonathan, Thank you for the very complete review. You are not wrong, Sony nailed several features but missed on other features. The price point is always going to be a bone of contention. The audio needs to be better on this phone, and great audio has to be a must, this is a phone, after all. It looked warm when you were shooting this video, as many of us are shivering. Take Care. Stay Safe.
First comment 🙌 loving your content man you're now my go to person when buying tech ha ha keep it up👌🔥
I appreciate that dude! That’s awesome 😎
i think this phone wasn't made for average consumers, you really have to know what you're doing to use this phone to max capabilities.
You can say the same thing about any phone with manual controls.
@@OT4Tech hell no, I tried manual on iPhones and the quality was worse, u can’t fix over processed images
iPhone doesn’t have manual controls… I was referring to other android devices. Enabling ProRaw on the iPhone or DNG RAW on other android devices eliminates the majority of the computational processing.
Finally an honest review, I was really falling into the hype
Wow, J you just went ham, lol...but I can fully understand it. You're calling it as you see it and there is nothing wrong with that. Keep doing your thing.
As a xperia user since 2011 manual controls doesn't bother me.
It's not rocket science.
Good afternoon, I am also a photographer and videographer. Say please? Which is better for photos and videos: SONY XPERIA PRO-I or the new SONY XPERIA 1V, 5V models, please advise, tell me which one to take? Thank you very much in advance!
So basiacally the Xperia Pro I is a point and shoot with all the pros and cons of using a DSLR whilst getting the small sensor + lens?
I have this phone. It definitely DOES image stack and the results are dramatic when you turn it on. You have to put the phone in Auto HDR.
It takes 3 images at 3 different exposures and stacks them like traditional mirrorless cameras. It is not to the same extent as other phones utilizing multi frame HDR + computational processing. This is one area where I will say the results are subjective since sometimes the computational part is very aggressive and looks too fake. However, you can also disable the computational processing on many phones.
Fair review for xperia pro I but i hope you mention about feature that use benefit of rx100VII Sensor such as incredibly fast autofocus,20FPS with realtime tracking that no phone on the market can do it(You should show how it work when compare to another phone or just show it in video about 20FPS because i think it help a lot when take moving picture like children or animal) , high readout speed sensor for no rolling shutter,Zeiss T* coating that reduce the flare on the photos
*Sorry for my bad english
*Overall i really like your review
I showcased the tracking capabilities in the video and mentioned things like eye AF and animal tracking. However, the 20fps is not really a huge feature. Phones like the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra are capable of shooting 30fps burst and at times exceeding that. In fact, since they can record 8K 30fps that alone gives you higher megapixel frames vs the Sony just by recording video. The zeiss coating is nice but no need to mention it since Xperia phones have used that coating since the beginning. Additionally, there is no option to use zeiss processing like you get on the Vivo x70 Pro. Rolling shutter is still very bad on the Xperia Pro-I when recording video since this in when you need to worry about rolling shutter not necessarily when capturing photos.
@@OT4Tech about rolling shutter I read on sony website they advertise "anti distortion shutter" it suppress rolling shuter effect that can distort images when photographing fast moving subject like fast moving car
and 20FPS of xperia pro I it calculate auto focus,auto exposure at 60 time persecond like sony alpha 9
Well, there are reasons for why Sony chose to do this crop thin on the sensor. The lenses are to close to the sensor because they wanted to dont make to huge of a bump. YOu should be able to have your phone in your pocket, right. Sony could have done a real bump, and you wouldnt be able to have the phone in your pocket. So there is the reason for why this compromise is made. And to be frank, SONY stated its a 1.0-typ sensor, sadly it seemed like a language barrier of somesort for when this info got to america and other places it became 1-inch sensor. Sony has always said its not utilises the whole 1.0-type sensor, and thats from day 1. The thing is, even though the sensor is eqiuvalent to sensors used in other brands like Samsung or apples iPhone the fact is, that other brands still using sensors that are MADE for phones, not cameras. Sonys sensor is made for cameras not phones. So this is an achievment. There are positiv things that comes with this choise. So if you have the opinion its a lackluster phones and confusing i guess you dont understand what you should use this phone for and you aint the customer type its made for.
Everything you said can be argued. Leica and Sharp both have true 1” camera sensors on their phones and the camera bump while noticeable does not protrude any more than the Sony. Also, the full sensor is still in the camera. The limitation is through software cropping. Sony clearly states on their own website it’s a 1” sensor so you cannot say their was a language barrier… you’re making up excuses for Sony’s failures.. The majority of camera sensors found in phones are made by Sony and while yes they are made for smartphones they go through the same manufacturing process. It’s the onboard ISP’s that change the way the image looks. That’s why despite 3 different phones from 3 different manufactures having the same sensors, images can look way different. Lastly, when I say the experience is lackluster it has nothing to do with the sensor. It’s the fact you need 3 different camera apps. That alone makes a confusing and lackluster experience. They can easily be merged into a single app. I have reviewed multiple smartphone cameras and I have shot on Sony pro camera for years. I can tell you right now this “ain’t” it chief…
@@OT4Tech FOr me those phones you mention has big bumps on the back, and their quite noticable.
2. It seems like only in US and maybe America, SONY is actually saying 1-Inch sensor, but its not what it says over here in Sweden or Europe or Asia for that matter. Then its a 1.0 type sensor. And even MKHBD explains the crop as a hardware thing. Not Software. Because its to close to the sensor. And why do all reviewers missed the Pixel Pitch that is on this phone 2.4 microns?
3. For me its actually less confusing with this 2 or 3 apps approach SONY has. I noticed for instance when my mother is trying to film, she can never understand she has to scroll among the features within the app. SHe still is searching for video. If she had a SONY Xperia 5 III for instance, she would just have to open up the app for video, and she could film right away. In my eyes its actually less confusing. But we are all different.
4. I get that this phone isn't for everyone. Not everyone knows how to use a camera the correct way especially a SONY phone. But the thing is SONYS smartphones still is the best camera smartphone out there that can mimic a alpha camera form SONY, and makes the very same things as they do. Alpha cameras is also very bad at computational photography. They also has some of the issues Xperia 1 III, Xperia 5 III and this Xperia Pro-I has... But if you plan and knows what you want, you can in sense only do it on the Xperia phones.
It's a shame Tmobile doesn't offer this phone. My only concern is the price. Hopefully their prices will drop.
It works great on T Mobile, but the price is not worth it at all.
@@OT4Tech as a phone performance or camera performance
Both. $2,000 is way too much for this phone.

Great Review which Contributed to I now Own this Sweet Device ".. 🎄👍
Awesome review and wrap-up. Does this phone drive high impedance headphones or am I asking for too much? Haha. Real cool phone.
This is problem,these reviewer are common people and doesn't understand the micro level technology,so for example he said that screen of glxy, iphone is better but in real life both not even close to Xperia,so I don't say on his view on camera,look urself real photos or fake , decide yourself
I never said the iPhone or Samsung display was better. I said they were brighter and I gave examples.
@@OT4Tech
But you didn't compare secreen indoor,why u only compare outdoor, Xperia has 4k resolution and very high pixel density,so it's not possible to bright in outdoor
The comparison scene was shot inside..
Not sure why you want to use the phone upside down when all the buttons are on the other side, especially with the shutter button which is how you would use a camera. And you do need to know how to take pictures, it is a camera first and phone second.
Хороший обзор, фото на гугл пиксель не похожи на фото, сильный перешарп. Айфон чуть менее, но все равно видно, что цифровая обработка. На сони фото художественные и можно вытянуть все соки. Но селфи камера просто ужасная и при такой цене. Надеюсь, в следующем поколении это исправят, тогда можно почку продавать)))
Ха-ха, согласен!
Если на фронтальной камере использовать ползунок регулировки экспозиции,она выдает просто отличные результаты!)
Not everyone like pre processed and contrasty pics. I couldn't find any innovation after ip11 series. If you find something can you compare ip11 vs iph13.
You can eliminate the pre processing on other phones by shooting in RAW just like with the Sony Xperia.
How can I enable or disable the photo mirroring?
Sony is the only one who know how to use PRO correctly.. This days all the caps are "Pro".
It's sensor isn't even much bigger than the imx 789 sensor in the one plus 9 pro ... Love the software interface on the pro I but for 1800 bucks I'll keep my 9 pro ... At it's sensor core the I pro isn't much special since it's not using the full 1 inch sensor ... It just has a nice interface to use :)
3:20 you mean thankfully it's *not* an LTPO panel... Right?
LTPO panels are more advanced and have many battery saving benefits so no, if this phone had an LTPO it would have extended the battery life more.
@@OT4Tech not a huge fan of LTPO tech on the market. Theoretically yes, LTPO can be a huge battery saver. However implementations on the market today, specifically phones that ship with LTPO 1.0 (S21, Pixel 6, etc) have their quirks.
On Pixel 6 you have the option of fixed 60Hz or VRR. There have been reports of users with VRR with phones never stepping down to 10Hz, users that have 60Hz idle on home screen, users that cannot maintain 120Hz, etc.
With Sony you can keep phone at 60Hz, and have game enhancer update the refresh rate while gaming. A simpler, more practical, and more reliable way to adjust refresh rate in my opinion. Until LTPO matures I much prefer the KISS approach.
@@OT4Tech also my bad for the wall of text. Tried to be as terse as possible 🙈
battery life should be equal to the 1iii i guess? only everybody complains that the sd888 gets the phone hot.
Shame it’s not that good, I love their cameras and thought they would hit this out of the park
In my experience, this is typical Sony. They produce amazing sensors but can’T seem to optimize them for their own devices.
@@OT4Tech think the last time I picked up a Sony phone was the Z3, I wonder how many of these they will actually sell

This is exactly the disappointment I would expect from Sony. Great build quality with a solid idea, but overpriced and largely flawed. Even their camera focused phone still uses their largely lacking and slow camera processing. It's the same story for every modern Sony. It's the exact same problems I have with my Xperia 5 II.
Sadly, this has been my experience with every Xperia phone as well. Excellent ideas and hardware but poor execution with software and processing.
I don't have slow camera processing on XPERIA 1 III. There is no Camera app anymore, only Photo Pro and that is the reason why camera processing is now fast. On Xperia 1 it was too slow, on XPERIA 1 II a little quicker and on XPERIA 1 III it is quick as it should be
Finally someone who has the same analysis as me of Sony smartphones and particularly this Xperia Pro i.
It's true that the ergonomics of a 21/9 smartphone is almost perfect, but apparently people don't really like smartphones that are too long and not wide enough, it's too much of a remote control 🤣, 19/9 to 20/9 would not be bad.
But Sony's 2 big problems are first of all, the rendering of photo-video a little too natural that the general public does not really appreciate, but above all the price of Sony smartphones.
Sony would do well to put a standard photo application that has photo-video processing much like the iPhones, Samsung, Pixel and a Pro photo-video application.
I am convinced that with this recipe and $600 to $800 less on the price of this smartphone, it would have sold like hot cakes, especially since Sony remains today to be the last major manufacturer to still offer memory card support and the jack port on its high-end smartphones.
Ps: also an option to choose between 60, 90 and 120 hertz (90 hertz being the ideal compromise between fluidity and autonomy), for me all smartphones with 120 hertz should offer this option like the Asus, and frankly a 4k screen on such a tiny display surface serves no purpose other than to drain the battery.
The ideal on smartphone for me is the hybrid resolution of iPhones Pro between FHD and 2k.
$600 to $800 xperia pro series is just impossible. Mark series mayb. But the price is already good. Sits in the middle of of samsung flagship and iphone. Even these two brands has variant that is more expensive but people don't realized.
sony has so much potential but they are doing so much wrong. its a waste :(
You get confused easily it appears
By reading comments like this, you are 100% correct
