  • A camera comparison between the compact flagships from Asus and Sony. Which one can take the crown home this week for the best camera phone amongst the compact flagships?
    Let's find out.
    Are you surprised by the results?
    Do you think my conclusions are correct?
    What needs to improved on both devices?

    The comparison I've been waiting for! I've been contemplating which one of these two I should upgrade to but my gripe with the Zenfone 9 is the lack of expandable storage and that hole-punch camera on the display.
    Colors on the Xperia are more natural and unprocessed.

    Great comparison, thanks for your efforts. The Gcam app is applicable only by the Zenfone9 or it can be used also in the xperia 5 mkIV ? If yes, it would be interesting a second comparison test of these devices, with the Gcam app.

      Wair for the Pixel 7 and its features and improvements and also pricing to see if it might be better. Otherwise I would recommemd the Zenfone 9 as it is faster and more compact. But that is a totally subjective view. The Pixel 6 has the long long software update promise and better main cam as big bonus

    Well, I kind of expected the outcome as the trend for both companies simply continues on with these 2. Zenfones are focused on their camera capabilities but the focus is different compared to Xperias. But I didn't expect the ultrawide lens on the Zenfone to be so soft and oversharpened at the same time.
    I would love to see how these 2 stacks up when doing everyday tasks, like media consumption and battery life.

    Thanks a lot man. You know that those who want a compact android phone were really waiting for this. Xperia 5 IV camera seems better, but for someone without much photography and video recording skills and knowledge that always shoots on auto mode, would you still recommend the Xperia 5 IV over the Zenfone 9?

    • @lltechview
      @lltechview  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Really hard to tell. I would say it like this. If you want to make more manual shooting video or photos with your phones like a content creator that needs to dial in all the settings on demand then rather go with the Xperia. If you want a point and shoot device with good CPU power for gaming, photography, multimedia and so on. Get the Zenfone 9.
      They are really really close together. Its hard to crown any of them.
      You will see it also in one of my next videos where I compare them more thoroughly.
