@@d3xmeisterThey will never ever compete with a professional camera for sure, but they are very good for taking punchy nice looking snaps and videos for social media or just capturing life's special moments. They have come a long way from the days of the first camera phones. (Mine was a Nokia 6020) Now they truly WERE awful but we loved them in the day and they did their job. Pitifully...😂😂😂
I gave up my iPhone for Sony Xperia and I do not regret it. The iPhone is good, but I hated the overprocessing of the pictures, even RAW photos were processed. I get better and more natural Photos from Xperia. The Menu was not a big deal because I am good familiar with Sony Menu from Sony cameras.
I gave up on an Xperia phones years ago, after having several models the software bugs and stability issues just became too frustrating. Sony must have known this as they popped up a notification telling me to manually reset the phone every week! I moved to Samsung and then to iPhone and got fed up with all the over processing. I now carry a Fuji X-100F in my bag which produces far better images than any of these phones, I mainly just use the phone for video and the occasional snap now.
@@MrSamoDudeYou do realise that Xperia phones now are very different from Xperia phones from "years ago" when you used them? Since then the Xperia division (which used to be a wholly seperate division within Sony) has been fully integrated with audio, Alpha cameras, Bravia TVs etc.....put under new management/leadership. And the entire Xperia line was rebooted. If your experience of Xperia phones was from years ago then your information is woefully out of date and no longer relevant to the conversation.
@@Sabundy Nope, it’s still perfectly relevant. The end result is still the same, once bitten twice shy, I wouldn’t buy a Sony phone again due to my poor past experience, and a dedicated camera with a bigger sensor will still produce remarkable better images than any small phone sensor. Whether the end user would notice that difference is debatable though, especially if they’re only ever viewed on a small phone screen. For everyday snaps the manufacturers color science and processing tend to have more impact, and the reviews and samples make it clear that Sony’s is far from the best even on the latest models.
I had such high hopes when I saw you guys were reviewing this phone. I was expecting to see you work the photographer angle a lot harder. I am VERY interested in seeing how well the DNGs from the 1 V respond to torture in Lightroom. How much headroom is there in highlights and shadows, including if you expose for the phone's strengths? How well do the colours respond to curves manipulation? Do any of the colours clip? etc etc etc This device, with all the manual controls it offers, is clearly meant for this kind of enthusiast/pro workflows. All you guys did was just pixel peep!! Also, in what universe were the vlog test skin tones of the Sony better than the iPhone's?
It would be interesting to compare more RAW images from both phones, and more RAW images parallel-processed in something like Lightroom. This would show the lens and sensor differences rather than the different phones' post-processing.
That would be like comparing a7s3 raw vs a7rV raw, one has more mpx so clear winner but one has better noise control in low light, in summary, depends on what you need it
if I'm gonna go RAW and post-process I'm gonna shoot with a DSLR/MILC, not with a phone. I use phone to grab quick memories - I want to snap as soon as possible to capture a moment (of my daughter or anything else) and to be able to share it and I want the best possible photo right out of the box. I'm not gonna import it to lightroom and the process it and share it with the family...
I really like what Sony does with it's high end phones. The range of pro tools they offer can't be beat. And Apple really need to sort out the over-sharpening and colour science.
also, all the shadows are blue in my iphone, i always have to manually edit the photos and dial the warmth to 30-60, and so many peoples just post with that wrong white balance, usually cold, so cold images and yet somehow the faces are orange...., and they don't even realize, it has become a norm
Northrup always pushes for this "Android Camera" thing and am definitely on their side, I hope your predictions about Sony's next move by the Xperia "experiment" is true.
It’s not android or IOS, Sony has real optical zoom and real colors. iPhone colors are fake and processed. It’s like eating processed food daily lol. I’ve owned Sony 1 IV and ordered the V now. It’s a video makers future
You are the supreme hypocrites and marketing like reviews ever! How to say about Sony is bad when you have only a probe?! And how to say about Sony when you s*ck Cook's crap?! Shame!
before i started photography, i never thought that phones look oversharpened and unnatural. Since im a photographer, i think smartphone stuff looks absolutly awfull unrealistic :D Props for the sony beeing more natural!
That's the case with most people. It's why most people think and believe that the iphone camera is "the best" 😂😂😂😂. Good marketing by Apple as well as the average person's lack of knowledge about photography has convinced them of it.
All you have to do is to turn on manual mode and it will turn off most of the processing - the way they tested cameras here is just so invalid, like comparing back camera with front camera video footage. That's just insane from testing point of view
Tony’s words weren’t aligning with the examples they were showing. The Sony faces were more saturated for a lot of the examples. And a blown out sky isn’t more natural, it’s just more natural to what a normal camera would do (but not what your eyes see).
I got my Xperia 1 V a month ago or so from adorama as well. Best phone I've ever had. Speakers, screen resolution, and the camera and video are awesome to play with. Best phone by far. Threw my S23 ultra in the drawer
The SD card option makes my old desktop relevant again and it won't need an expensive hardware upgrade i had been planning. Great phone and will be my next, when it is released late July in Australia. Also now plan to buy a decent set of wired headphones thanks to Sony.... earbuds and bluetooth 5.0 just don't cut it for me.
I've been a Samsung user for as long as I can remember. Currently have a Note 20 Ultra. I won't use a phone that doesn't have an SD card slot. As Samsung has decided to be the Apple "B" Team, it looks like I'm moving to Sony.
Only the Audio jack and micro sd card slot is all ready a destroyer of the iPhone. If you use the best settings for the lowlight video situation I believe it will be better then the iPhone. iPhone no micro sd card slot a very important thing for creators. Iphone no audio jack a very important thing for creators, iPhone no special button to shoot and focus on objects,Sony all having it. For me I’m waiting for the successor of the xperia pro i mk2 there are rumors sony is planning to use dual one inch sensors.
Barbary, I agreed with you. In addition, the Sony camera Menu (user interface) is also better than those confusing smart phones camera menu. For camera/video users, Sony is a winner here. But if people concerned too much about quality and details of video or pictures... Get themselves an APSC or FF camera. You just can't have everything in one piece. That's why I'm owning a Samsung Note20ultra and a Sony A74 with 35mnGM.
Besides the phone review, I love the way you two present 😃. It's so natural and calm, with no exaggeration, and the filming is amazing as well. You've got a new follower here 😅. Keep it up

I like this review as they have a low light test but do not use it as reference. Too many reviews turn the lights off and compare cameras just based on night vision. So many of us will never shoot photos or video under candle light. That said the Iphone has a really good balance for the average user but If ATT had the Sony My pre order would be in already. Gonna have to wait for the inevitable price cuts and snag unlocked version then.
Yeah, that was a huge difference. The iPhone actually looks very good in low light video whereas the Sony looks like a crappy old camera. I prefer the iPhone cameras generally but refuse to switch to the Apple ecosystem. I like every other feature of the Sony Xperia 1 V so I'm going to go with it. Hopefully some updates will make their cameras better.
Appreciate the video. It’s Mark 1 five not “V”. I know you guys do mostly pics but for video makers Sony is the real deal. It has real optical zoom and true colors unlike an iPhone.
How could sony do that worse in the low light video? It's impossible for me to believe, i assume something must went wrong in the sony, like it have cropped heavily in active stabilization or 4k@120fps mode. Or it had recorded in 48mp mode instead of binned 12mp, or something is wrong within this unit.
Probably used Photo Pro (not great for videos) with wide dynamic range turned on (which shoots at 120 FPS). Video Pro will result in much better footage as it unlocks longer shutter speed, higher ISO and better noise reduction algorithm.
To be more accurate it was an Android thing. Now big manufacturers like Samsung are upping their game for software support with their latest offerings. Sony has to follow up with that because the price has to be reflected in everything. We are talking about the most expensive of all the offerings.
Android updates are in most cases useless. I have a phone with android 7 which is working perfectly today, without glitches. The most important updates are those made by OEMs that improves the phone's performance on different capabilities (camera, system, battery etc).
@@alxdava2004 Well Alex some apps dont work anymore with android 7, that's another reason why i switched my Xperia Z5 compact (Android 7) to get a Xperia X compact (android 8). For example i had to withtdraw an order from an amazon locker, the amazon app is supposed to connect to the locker via bluetooth....seems it needs android 8 and above to do that...
Some very good evolutions that I was waiting for since a decade, Sony seems to finally understand what year we are. They should go further and get rid of the face cam and integrate a small built in backscreen.
s-cinetone Tony, you missed it in the vlog section, that was going to be so much more better for the sony :)) i wondered why so orange on sony, well, you used the standard sdr
They keep saying that Sony is built to do something different but let's be honest just because something aspires to be something doesnt mean it's different because of it's aspirations
Fun review/comparison. As a photography enthusiast, my main selection criteria for a smartphone is for it to take the best photos in the market at the time of purchase. I am not convinced the Sony does that, at least not better than the P60 Pro, but I'll wait for DXOMARK to have their say.
DxOMark is a consultation company. They sell advices and test kits. Product that had high score in DxOMark are those that bought the test kit and tune their product specifically to get high score in DxOMark. None of them were tuned for real life application.
Interesting video! I found myself looking more at the footage from the camera that was filming most of the video instead of the iPhone or Sony. On a personal level I think it is like trying split atoms comparing those two photos. People who get the Sony I believe know what they want, period. AS far as the iPhone I believe many people eyes are trained for that so they like that picture. Personally I take both phones since both are wonderful but when I return to my senses probably the iPhone since the phone is good and I am in their ecosystem (like a happy jail where they keep taking my money since I keep giving it to them). You video was pretty funny as well.
I noticed that too, so many people posting blue shadows from their iphone and orange faces that it became the norm, when i edited a photo i received from a friend, on spot, and dialed the warmth to +40 compensate that wrong white balance, dialed down the saturation, added more brilliance to cure orange face, and sent it back, the person was in shock, she never knew photos can look so good with her phone.... she said it looks like it was taken with a pro camera, well it would be great if they can make for this poor souls the adjustments automatically so they get better photos and its easy, they provide the editing tool with the phone, also for the video, its nuts! but people don't want additional work and spend time learning how to do it, so lazy, we are going to end-up like in the Wall-E movie
5:20 the Sony looks way oversaturated (and/or the iPhone overexposed) in the Vlogging comparison, but the exact opposite is observed at 8:38 for the Portrait mode. Does this happen consistently (i.e., is it a video vs stills thing)??
It is not oversaturated in sony vlog but he just change the shutter speed rule which darkened the video a little bit to stop from overexposed and the iPhone cannot do that in the video so it is overexposed
iPhone 14PM user here. There will be no comparison between the two. Sony make there own sensors, lens and camera software. I love my iPhone, but the Sony is going to be much better for photography.
Just got my Xperia 1 V and updated to android 14! Could not be more happier and certainly glad I did not get a Samsung or an Apple. Focus Peaking is really handy and as for S-Cinetone=wow!
Hey, Chelsea! Next time Tony reviews the Xperia 1 VI and slaps the vlogging monitor on its back to make fun of your iPhone's front camera, just put your Apple Watch on the back of your iPhone and boom! You have a video monitor, you can use the main camera AND you don't need a cable.
iPhone wins 1 or 2 results - iphone fanboys, I told you iPhone is the greatest camera on earth. It doesn't matter if Sony wins 99% of the time. That 1% is more important.
Xperia 1V and I phone 14 pro literally have the same camera specs on the wide angle 24mm main camera lens which is 48MP. Probably compare the lens modes of each phone to get a close comparison? Ultra wide vs ultra wide, telephoto vs telephoto, and 24mm vs 24mm. i Phone 14 pro max's ultra wide is also 12MP but Sony Xpreia 1V's 24mm is also 48MP similar to the i phone. When it comes to the macro capability, both have the same 20cm minimum focus distance by using the 24mm lens so technically they have the same or similar macro capabilty. The sony camera has better telephoto than the iphone but the iphone has slightly wider focal length with the ultra wide. All in all in my opinion if we compared each lens respectively on their own specific focal lengths, xperia would hands down be better. Thanks for the review.
Tony and Chelsea should create a TH-cam channel for AI Image Creation. With Tony’s technology skills and their photography talents, that is the direction of where content creation is heading. Love you guys!
I still don't understand WHY people go like "I'll get a good phone with a good camera on it". The phone is 1400 dollars! Get a 400 dollars phone and you have 1000 to spend on a good camera. Get an entry level DSLR or mirrorless (around 400 U$D new) a good nifty fifty (around 150 new, but they are pretty common, so used ones in great conditions are available by the dozens), a good telephoto zoom if you are into it (I got mine for 100$ used, it'd probably be around 200$ or 250$). Some extension tubes (10$ if you are into macro photography, just to have a taste of it, or you can get a 300$ macro lense). A wide angle 24,28,35mm of your choosing lense for around 150-250$. And you'd still have money to spare! My entire set up was about 1000 U$D I think, but here's the thing, I built it up as I thought I needed the thing, instead of having to spend everything off pocket all at once. IF YOU ARE INTO PHOTOGRAPHY, DON'T GET A PHONE WITH A GOOD CAMERA, GET A PHONE AND A GOOD CAMERA, IT'S CHEAPER AND WILL BE MUCH BETTER! (And for the people who'll 100% gonna tell me, but I can take my phone everywhere I go. Well, you can do that too with your camera, just get a bag! I take my phone in a bag anyway!)
An iPhone is also not a benchmark for the best smartphone cameras. So it's not a big deal that Sony is significantly better here than the IPhone 14 pro. The currently best camera smartphone is the Huawei P60 pro. That would be much more interesting as a comparison.
The Sony will be my next phone. Coming from LG's V series the Sony would be the most similar. Headphone jack, SD card slot advance camera modes . A tool...not a toy. Great video!
a little strange that it has 52 MP but only takes 12 MP stills. I myself have the cheaper xperia 10 V and it takes still images in 48 MP but video in 12 MP on the main camera. or did you choose 12 MP to compare.
"He's still trying to figure out his camera." "The Sony is made for professional content creators and gives me a lot of options." LOL It is a joy to watch you two interacting and having - obviously - a blast doing it. Marriage and relationships aren't easy - but, you make it look like it is. Excellent review. I, personally, can't stand Apple or anything Apple so will never even consider an iPhone. The Xperia, I find very interesting but - if I am serious about shooting something I would use a real camera because, let's face it, though the phone cameras are admittedly extremely good; fact is if you want true quality you have to bite the bullet and use a real camera.
@@Ortopedija1989 I, myself, am not into analog - if you mean film cameras - anymore. I realize there are results they can yield that digital can't. But, it gets to the point where there's only so much time and with the adroit use of Photoshop etc. I find there's virtually no "look" I can't achieve. It is, of course, a refined artistic distinction I would imagine you are referring to. No?
Not everyone can take their larger camera everywhere with them. I would prefer that the next best thing accessible to me, in essence, my phone, would be as close an experience as possible to my camera in situations like that.
@@LoganSLRLockwood my 35mm OM10 is just suitable and what i need for traveling and shooting, but for real project i use my RB67 which force me to visit fitness 🙂. And also use iphone8 if my wife wants me to shoot her😜.
@@LoganSLRLockwood I agree. I don't think one need spend $1,300.00 though to achieve superior results. If one had, for instance, the Google Pixel Pro 7 and was well versed in Photoshop / Lightroom etc. there is little one could not achieve - to a certain degree. And for all the rest - there are real cameras to press into service that are up to the task at hand - instead of second best! Lol
6:35 that’s not more details on the iPhone, that’s word processing, basically adding details that do not exist (in this case the letters it has detected) using ML algorithms “Deep fusion”, it fails in certain scenarios (finer details) like in the back the wood lines on the house are better and naturally represented by the Sony.
Did I notice On the studio At the end of the video When Chelsea turns her head and look towards Tony, the camera focussed on Tony's eyes perfectly and the other way around??
Frankly, I didn't like any photo and video taken with Sony. I'm not an iPhone guy at all, but it wins here all the way. Thank you for the review, as I was planning to pre-order the Sony V1, but not anymore!
idk which settings and camera app u used for the low light test on Xperia 1 V, because i never had a result looking that bad in my low light videos captured with my xperia 1 V mhh probably u were using "dynamic range wide instead of standard"
I’m a 14 Pro owner and the camera even though is great, it has few flaws. I was honestly shocked when I got my hands on the 14 Pro with how terrible the camera can be on full auto. Coming from iPhone XS prior to 14 Pro, the post-processing is just over the top making photos taken look very digitally processed with over sharpening being the most obvious one. iPhone used to have that balance between sharpness and detail, natural and authentic look on their photos but with every iteration of new so called “computational photography”, the images since have been hit and miss. However, the computational photography does help a lot when in low-light though. I found myself have to use ProRAW in every single pictures and thankfully Apple ProRAW did a great good job without the need of post-editing. The pictures from ProRAW is much cleaner. Just take a look at Xiaomi 14 Ultra and Vivo X100 Pro. The images are very clean, have that soft look to it mimicking DSLR camera. It blows away the competition, let alone iPhone 15 Pro with rather now outdated Sony IMX 803 image sensor. It recycles the same exact sensor from 14 Pro. The competition already moved on to next generation of Sony 1 inch LYT sensor. When Sony gets the auto mode right with perfect post-processing, I’m pretty sure it’ll be the best camera ever for mass market. Sony already has the advantage of using advanced camera sensor (Exmor-T) that up until today, isn’t offered off the shelf for other manufacturers to use.
You Can also take pictures of the moon with both yes the Sony phone would be able to zoom in farther, but if you bring the exposure down with the iPhone after zooming in all the way, you tap on the moon and then bring the brightness all the way down or at least as close to the bottom as you want, you can get a good moon shot same with the Sony phone except I don’t think you can move the exposure down. Maybe you can but either way both phones are great for moon shots also, has anyone ever noticed that if you Flip the pictures of the moon after taking them and then turn the picture two times or so you get the same craters that are on the Earth globe, and it looks identical like a mirror, and all of the same areas that the Earth has in the green and blue globe part of the earth. You also get on the moon if you do this it’s an exact replica
problem with xperia is when I want to fine tune everything and have total control over what I shoot, I take out my mirrorless camera. IMO phone cameras should be for fast and easy access when I just want to take quick picture/video without thinking about and get best results on its own. iPhone has no competition in that. and xperia will never be as good as professional camera so I don't really see a point in having a phone like that.
Nice video. Do you have a gallery of computational photography shots taken with this Xperia versus Apple or better yet google pixel you could post? In your “future Sony cameras“ recent video, you talked about Sony, potentially adding that feature to their cameras, but I wonder how it’s really working. MKBHD seemed to say that he did not like the computational photography on Sony as much. Importantly, when he does the super big phone camera comparison every year, the Sonys always seem to do pretty badly despite their “pro” features. Whether it’s natural or not, people seem to like the processing that Google does much more than Sony. I wonder if that will change this year? I understand I can do more on the backend, but if the point of a phone is sharing immediately, I don’t necessarily want to go into a Lightroom and mess with it.
I do not want to be disrespectful in any way, but this is the most beautiful lady I have ever seen. I will concede, he is handsome, so it makes sense, but my oh my. And not to sound like a complete tool, I do enjoy your content. You guys are very knowledgable in this field.
i was brought here because been searching for Sony 1V. great content suited for photographer curiosity, but i need to know this. starting from 4:00 timestamp, what camera is used to film that ??? awesome outdoor color and autofocus !!!
You two seem so frienly!! I'm feeling so much positive energy. However, I don't think it's fair to compare Sonys main camera with the iPhones selfie camera for vlogging. Also, I feel like you've shown us like 4 pictures in total, which is not enough to judge the results imo.
Thanks for this video. Been waiting for this. Up in the air with either buying the Sony Mark 5 or trying out a bridge camera like the Sony RX10 mark 4. No real camera experience except cell phones and cheap P&S. What do you recommend? I hike in the White Mountains/kayak in the Springs in Florida/waterfalls. Also, I bought your book about photography. Thanks
I think if you're feeling the urge to get a camera and studying the techniques than you should get a real camera. However I'd definitely recommend an interchangeable lens camera when you're ready because it's in changing lenses where you'll really see a difference from your smartphone photos.
Indeed .. it is all about LENSES I have an « old » Full-Frame with « old » tech (2012 camera with 90s tech lenses.. Canon 6D and lenses as 135mm F/2 L or 35mm F/1.4 L) but still much better than a small sensor with a built-in zoom or the latest smartphone 📱
@@TonyAndChelsea Tony & Chelsea, a previous video made the point that a smartphone is a 'real' camera. Have you backtracked? 🤔Clearly from the further comments you distinguished between a smartphone and an interchangeable lens camera, although high-end smartphones do have a limited number of built-in interchangeable lenses.
@@michaeloravecz5752From a self taught photographer, an interchangeable lens camera is dedicated for taking photos. A phone camera is a phone first and then a camera. Not to say that the overall photo quality is bad on phones but they can try to compete with the quality from a dedicated pro camera is typically better than a phone camera.
I swapped from Android to iPhone a few years ago and I know that it takes more than a better camera to get me back to team green. But it's still great to see a good comparison, it also forces apple to stay on their toes and actually improve their stuff. Some notes though: on the lock screen you can just swipe left to get the camera on the iphone. You can also add a shortcut to double (or triple) tap the apple logo, that's what i've done. Also the iphone low light blows me away, not every time, but most of the times. Like how it handled the video here that's amazing.
Maybe Sony could release an update allowing the full resolution of the main sensor for it's RAWs. And I want to make two criticism of the Xperia because it appears Sony is finally listening! For years I complained to reviewers of the past models that they should test the "Pro" modes. Finally this time finally everyone is doing that, but I was hurt by the monkey paw. With the V Sony finally started doing a bit of "computational photography", but it only shows on Basic/Auto mode. The Dynamic Range is that in the Pro/Manual modes seems very limited is actually very good, even exposing the lights correctly during the night, but only in Basic/Auto mode. Couldn't Sony keep this processing when using manual controls too? The other things is... personally, I don't think that variable zoom camera is doing much. The range is too limited and the less very blurry with low contrast. I don't think is work the cost, not at this quality. Apart for that, it's perfect! And I think that despite the bad result in night video seems in Tony and Chelsea test, you can get dramatically better results adjusting the shutter speed correctly.
Can you record external audio in main video app or you need to use open camera app. I have Motorola mobile and I can only record with external microphone using open camera app that doesn't work with all my mobile lenses and resolutions.
I don't understand how Tony can take the Xperia for 1 day and get drastically different results than every other reviewer out there. There is absolutely no chance the iphone can produce a better night shot than the Sony at double the light hitting the sensor. Its like they didn't want to shame Apple too hard, so they can still get sponsorships I dunno
Interesting comparison, but I found many of Tony's comments were super bias. For example on Chelsea's skin, where it looked to me like Apple's was much more natural and was just rendering her skin and makeup when Sony's was oversmoothing tons and was looking super waxxy
I personally don't like these super-tall aspect ratio because the user interface is generally poorly designed in landscape mode. It takes up far too much space and the content is limited to a thin strip. Examples: browsing the web, using the quick menu or even the keyboard. I'm not saying that the phone is terrible, but the interface really needs to be improved for these screen formats.
For me it’s no contest that the Sony photos look more presentable in most cases. No doubt the iPhone is no slouch though but I am not a fan of all their photo processing, namely the over sharpening that happens on my 12 Pro Max. Causes a lot of photos to look ghastly. Perhaps they have improved this on the 14 and 15, I cannot say from experience. But I’m looking for a change and that’s one of the main reasons I’m trying the Sony.
Switched from P30 Pro to 14 Pro and there's a lot of sharpening and other in-camera processing going on. Especially with scenes that contain clouds, sunsets and morning haze it tends to drastically oversharpen/overcontrast the picture to a point that I have to use (and edit) ProRaw for those situations. I'm going to try the Pixel 8 Pro for a while. Curious about your experience with the Sony by the way.
I was waiting for you guys to review this phone. Honestly, I trust no one more for reviews. Thank you 😊. Also, can someone please confirm if it has the 960fps slow motion? Would also be great if you can comment on the battery life. For context, I have an S10 with faulty battery. I'm not sure if that's why, but it can't take slow motion now without stuttering and skipping frames. Can also drain the whole battery in ~2hrs if I use the camera. Hence I haven't taken much photos in the last 6 months 😢.
Hi @@doctormarazanvose4373 , I am more focused on factors like noise, dynamic range, focusing speed etc. The exposure & colours can be adjusted in post. (Not claiming I'm good at it😅) I trust them more because they never claim anything without proof or logic. It is also influenced by how I think as well. I am a person who gets into the technical details like Tony. And over the years I've found that my opinions aligned with his. So if I were to buy a product, I'd take his word over other 'tech influencers' anyday.
Sony is the only company still making flagships with headphone jacks and sd cards... truly the only company catering to people who truly use their phones. Everyone else is like "nah you use it the way we tell you to. And please buy pointless accessories."
I remember when Apple ditched the 3.5mm jack and introduced the bluetooth earbuds for £120 extra on top of the ridculous price of the phone - and STILL idiots wouldn't ditch Apple. It's like they cast a magic spell.
I don't know if it just my laptop screen or what, but in the video flogging comparison, sony's skin tone is too much reddis-orange but iphone skin tone is perfect. I'm using asus oled screen laptop btw..
The iPhone is NOT fine with its extreme over-sharpening, red tomato face, and yellow white balance. Why is nobody talking about this?
To me they all phones look basically the same. Awful. But fine for normal people documenting their life
@@d3xmeisterThey will never ever compete with a professional camera for sure, but they are very good for taking punchy nice looking snaps and videos for social media or just capturing life's special moments.

The end result is still the same, once bitten twice shy, I wouldn’t buy a Sony phone again due to my poor past experience, and a dedicated camera with a bigger sensor will still produce remarkable better images than any small phone sensor. Whether the end user would notice that difference is debatable though, especially if they’re only ever viewed on a small phone screen. For everyday snaps the manufacturers color science and processing tend to have more impact, and the reviews and samples make it clear that Sony’s is far from the best even on the latest models.
My LG V60 takes similar pictures to the Sony. Lg always made one of the best cameras.
I had such high hopes when I saw you guys were reviewing this phone. I was expecting to see you work the photographer angle a lot harder.
I am VERY interested in seeing how well the DNGs from the 1 V respond to torture in Lightroom. How much headroom is there in highlights and shadows, including if you expose for the phone's strengths? How well do the colours respond to curves manipulation? Do any of the colours clip? etc etc etc
This device, with all the manual controls it offers, is clearly meant for this kind of enthusiast/pro workflows.
All you guys did was just pixel peep!!
Also, in what universe were the vlog test skin tones of the Sony better than the iPhone's?
It would be interesting to compare more RAW images from both phones, and more RAW images parallel-processed in something like Lightroom. This would show the lens and sensor differences rather than the different phones' post-processing.
THIS.
So many phones are god awful when used in jpg mode but actually pretty incredible when used with RAW.
Raw on Iphone is also computational. Lots of processing and stacking before it combine to a big raw file!
@@LongCaoOfficial Well.... less computational 😂
That would be like comparing a7s3 raw vs a7rV raw, one has more mpx so clear winner but one has better noise control in low light, in summary, depends on what you need it
if I'm gonna go RAW and post-process I'm gonna shoot with a DSLR/MILC, not with a phone. I use phone to grab quick memories - I want to snap as soon as possible to capture a moment (of my daughter or anything else) and to be able to share it and I want the best possible photo right out of the box. I'm not gonna import it to lightroom and the process it and share it with the family...
I really like what Sony does with it's high end phones. The range of pro tools they offer can't be beat. And Apple really need to sort out the over-sharpening and colour science.
also, all the shadows are blue in my iphone, i always have to manually edit the photos and dial the warmth to 30-60, and so many peoples just post with that wrong white balance, usually cold, so cold images and yet somehow the faces are orange...., and they don't even realize, it has become a norm
I can't stand Apples photos. I think their colour science sucks.
@@Sabundy probably started about the time they went to Sony sensors!
@@hautehussey they're been using Sony sensors probably since before you were born, so no, it's not the sensors fault
@@angeljaimes9703 uh, no.
Northrup always pushes for this "Android Camera" thing and am definitely on their side, I hope your predictions about Sony's next move by the Xperia "experiment" is true.
It’s not android or IOS, Sony has real optical zoom and real colors. iPhone colors are fake and processed. It’s like eating processed food daily lol. I’ve owned Sony 1 IV and ordered the V now. It’s a video makers future
@@MR-AK you probably haven't watched their last video about Sony huh?
Nokia pureview was also going to be great.
You are the supreme hypocrites and marketing like reviews ever! How to say about Sony is bad when you have only a probe?! And how to say about Sony when you s*ck Cook's crap?! Shame!
@@MR-AK Sony 1 IV is a bit crappy
before i started photography, i never thought that phones look oversharpened and unnatural. Since im a photographer, i think smartphone stuff looks absolutly awfull unrealistic :D Props for the sony beeing more natural!
Yeah, phone pics have that overly crispy look
true sometimes people feel underwhelmed when they look at pictures from a camera compared to a mobile phone hahahaha
That's the case with most people. It's why most people think and believe that the iphone camera is "the best" 😂😂😂😂. Good marketing by Apple as well as the average person's lack of knowledge about photography has convinced them of it.
All you have to do is to turn on manual mode and it will turn off most of the processing - the way they tested cameras here is just so invalid, like comparing back camera with front camera video footage. That's just insane from testing point of view
Tony’s words weren’t aligning with the examples they were showing. The Sony faces were more saturated for a lot of the examples. And a blown out sky isn’t more natural, it’s just more natural to what a normal camera would do (but not what your eyes see).
I got my Xperia 1 V a month ago or so from adorama as well. Best phone I've ever had. Speakers, screen resolution, and the camera and video are awesome to play with. Best phone by far. Threw my S23 ultra in the drawer
The SD card option makes my old desktop relevant again and it won't need an expensive hardware upgrade i had been planning.
Great phone and will be my next, when it is released late July in Australia.
Also now plan to buy a decent set of wired headphones thanks to Sony.... earbuds and bluetooth 5.0 just don't cut it for me.
Is it going to be sold in Australia? I thought Sony did not sell them in Australia anymore
I've been a Samsung user for as long as I can remember. Currently have a Note 20 Ultra. I won't use a phone that doesn't have an SD card slot. As Samsung has decided to be the Apple "B" Team, it looks like I'm moving to Sony.
@@SabundyYou can still but retailers still offer them (eBay, amazon, kogan etc)
Only the Audio jack and micro sd card slot is all ready a destroyer of the iPhone.
If you use the best settings for the lowlight video situation I believe it will be better then the iPhone.
iPhone no micro sd card slot a very important thing for creators.
Iphone no audio jack a very important thing for creators,
iPhone no special button to shoot and focus on objects,Sony all having it.
For me I’m waiting for the successor of the xperia pro i mk2 there are rumors sony is planning to use dual one inch sensors.
Barbary,
I agreed with you. In addition, the Sony camera Menu (user interface) is also better than those confusing smart phones camera menu.
For camera/video users, Sony is a winner here.
But if people concerned too much about quality and details of video or pictures... Get themselves an APSC or FF camera. You just can't have everything in one piece.
That's why I'm owning a Samsung Note20ultra and a Sony A74 with 35mnGM.
Besides the phone review, I love the way you two present 😃. It's so natural and calm, with no exaggeration, and the filming is amazing as well. You've got a new follower here 😅. Keep it up

Great video. I'm shocked to see how great the iPhone 14 Pro handles low light video. I prefer optical bokeh that the 1V creates.
I like this review as they have a low light test but do not use it as reference. Too many reviews turn the lights off and compare cameras just based on night vision. So many of us will never shoot photos or video under candle light. That said the Iphone has a really good balance for the average user but If ATT had the Sony My pre order would be in already. Gonna have to wait for the inevitable price cuts and snag unlocked version then.
Yeah, that was a huge difference. The iPhone actually looks very good in low light video whereas the Sony looks like a crappy old camera. I prefer the iPhone cameras generally but refuse to switch to the Apple ecosystem. I like every other feature of the Sony Xperia 1 V so I'm going to go with it. Hopefully some updates will make their cameras better.
This was such a calm and enjoyable video to watch. Thank you.
You would like FroknowsPhoto ASMR video 😁
Appreciate the video. It’s Mark 1 five not “V”. I know you guys do mostly pics but for video makers Sony is the real deal. It has real optical zoom and true colors unlike an iPhone.
No, it is Xperia 1 Mark 5
@@Ken-vl4wk the point is, it’s a 5 not a V. SMH
It is xperia 1 V. Read as xperia 1 mark 5 (as per sony) "1" is the model and "V" is the generation. "V" in roman numerals is 5.
true colors?!?!?! - looooooooooool - so Chelsea and Tony are naturally orange?
@@doctormarazanvose4373 that’s color grading. If you know anything about color palette and white balance you wouldve know. Smh
Thank you! Great video, but can we see Sony Xperia 1 V vs Galaxy s23 ultra?
Its my first time passing by this channel! its amazing what u do guys. You've got the knowledge, Good luck!
I gasped when I saw that dead pixel on my oled in the low-light test section. Glad that's yours, not mine :)
11:25 APPLES AND ORANGES SITUATION
WAIT WHAT LOLLZ 😂😂😂😂
How could sony do that worse in the low light video? It's impossible for me to believe, i assume something must went wrong in the sony, like it have cropped heavily in active stabilization or 4k@120fps mode. Or it had recorded in 48mp mode instead of binned 12mp, or something is wrong within this unit.
Probably used Photo Pro (not great for videos) with wide dynamic range turned on (which shoots at 120 FPS). Video Pro will result in much better footage as it unlocks longer shutter speed, higher ISO and better noise reduction algorithm.
Apple use as default 4K@60 with frame stacking.
Sony does not.
Definitely performs much better in low light than in their tests. Not sure what settings they used.
The weak point with Sony smartphones has unfortunately always been the short two year update period.
To be more accurate it was an Android thing. Now big manufacturers like Samsung are upping their game for software support with their latest offerings. Sony has to follow up with that because the price has to be reflected in everything. We are talking about the most expensive of all the offerings.
Android updates are in most cases useless. I have a phone with android 7 which is working perfectly today, without glitches. The most important updates are those made by OEMs that improves the phone's performance on different capabilities (camera, system, battery etc).
@@alxdava2004 Yes, all software developers working on Android updates are idiots wasting their time and you know better.
@@alxdava2004 Well Alex some apps dont work anymore with android 7, that's another reason why i switched my Xperia Z5 compact (Android 7) to get a Xperia X compact (android 8).
For example i had to withtdraw an order from an amazon locker, the amazon app is supposed to connect to the locker via bluetooth....seems it needs android 8 and above to do that...
This is absolutely unacceptable damn
why you compared the front camera of Iphone with rear camera of sony?
Much better than MKNHD review phone 😂
Who's MKNHD?
Some very good evolutions that I was waiting for since a decade, Sony seems to finally understand what year we are. They should go further and get rid of the face cam and integrate a small built in backscreen.
Bad idea, I hope they put back face unlock
s-cinetone Tony, you missed it in the vlog section, that was going to be so much more better for the sony :)) i wondered why so orange on sony, well, you used the standard sdr
No user-friendly Update Policy, no success. It's that simple
They keep saying that Sony is built to do something different but let's be honest just because something aspires to be something doesnt mean it's different because of it's aspirations
5:05 Why does both your skins color look like oranges, is this default Sony settings?
Fun review/comparison. As a photography enthusiast, my main selection criteria for a smartphone is for it to take the best photos in the market at the time of purchase. I am not convinced the Sony does that, at least not better than the P60 Pro, but I'll wait for DXOMARK to have their say.
DxOMark is a consultation company. They sell advices and test kits. Product that had high score in DxOMark are those that bought the test kit and tune their product specifically to get high score in DxOMark. None of them were tuned for real life application.
None beats Sony. None.
Interesting video! I found myself looking more at the footage from the camera that was filming most of the video instead of the iPhone or Sony. On a personal level I think it is like trying split atoms comparing those two photos. People who get the Sony I believe know what they want, period. AS far as the iPhone I believe many people eyes are trained for that so they like that picture. Personally I take both phones since both are wonderful but when I return to my senses probably the iPhone since the phone is good and I am in their ecosystem (like a happy jail where they keep taking my money since I keep giving it to them).
You video was pretty funny as well.
I noticed that too, so many people posting blue shadows from their iphone and orange faces that it became the norm, when i edited a photo i received from a friend, on spot, and dialed the warmth to +40 compensate that wrong white balance, dialed down the saturation, added more brilliance to cure orange face, and sent it back, the person was in shock, she never knew photos can look so good with her phone.... she said it looks like it was taken with a pro camera, well it would be great if they can make for this poor souls the adjustments automatically so they get better photos and its easy, they provide the editing tool with the phone, also for the video, its nuts! but people don't want additional work and spend time learning how to do it, so lazy, we are going to end-up like in the Wall-E movie
5:20 the Sony looks way oversaturated (and/or the iPhone overexposed) in the Vlogging comparison, but the exact opposite is observed at 8:38 for the Portrait mode. Does this happen consistently (i.e., is it a video vs stills thing)??
It is not oversaturated in sony vlog but he just change the shutter speed rule which darkened the video a little bit to stop from overexposed and the iPhone cannot do that in the video so it is overexposed
Probably accidentally left it at VV (vivid) preset
iPhone 14PM user here. There will be no comparison between the two. Sony make there own sensors, lens and camera software. I love my iPhone, but the Sony is going to be much better for photography.
Thank you guys for the review. Needed to hear this kind of review from professional photographers
hi guys
don't shoot the messenger, please 😅
9:15 in low light I noticed your camera is filming with having few dead pixel
Just got my Xperia 1 V and updated to android 14! Could not be more happier and certainly glad I did not get a Samsung or an Apple. Focus Peaking is really handy and as for S-Cinetone=wow!
Hey, Chelsea! Next time Tony reviews the Xperia 1 VI and slaps the vlogging monitor on its back to make fun of your iPhone's front camera, just put your Apple Watch on the back of your iPhone and boom! You have a video monitor, you can use the main camera AND you don't need a cable.
You can just swipe from right to left on iphone to launch the camera, no need to hold the camera icon.
The Xperia’s are wonderful for consuming content. Watching 4K movies and listening to Hi Res audio are sublime experiences on a smartphone.
On a toilet at that!
@@Kobrar44 😂
iPhone wins 1 or 2 results - iphone fanboys, I told you iPhone is the greatest camera on earth. It doesn't matter if Sony wins 99% of the time. That 1% is more important.
Xperia 1V and I phone 14 pro literally have the same camera specs on the wide angle 24mm main camera lens which is 48MP. Probably compare the lens modes of each phone to get a close comparison? Ultra wide vs ultra wide, telephoto vs telephoto, and 24mm vs 24mm. i Phone 14 pro max's ultra wide is also 12MP but Sony Xpreia 1V's 24mm is also 48MP similar to the i phone.
When it comes to the macro capability, both have the same 20cm minimum focus distance by using the 24mm lens so technically they have the same or similar macro capabilty. The sony camera has better telephoto than the iphone but the iphone has slightly wider focal length with the ultra wide.
All in all in my opinion if we compared each lens respectively on their own specific focal lengths, xperia would hands down be better. Thanks for the review.
Swiping left to open the iPhone camera from the lock screen is so hard. I understand.
Tony and Chelsea should create a TH-cam channel for AI Image Creation.
With Tony’s technology skills and their photography talents, that is the direction of where content creation is heading.
Love you guys!
What camera were they using on the dock by the water, that was amazing for video!! Anyone know??
I still don't understand WHY people go like "I'll get a good phone with a good camera on it". The phone is 1400 dollars! Get a 400 dollars phone and you have 1000 to spend on a good camera.
Get an entry level DSLR or mirrorless (around 400 U$D new) a good nifty fifty (around 150 new, but they are pretty common, so used ones in great conditions are available by the dozens), a good telephoto zoom if you are into it (I got mine for 100$ used, it'd probably be around 200$ or 250$). Some extension tubes (10$ if you are into macro photography, just to have a taste of it, or you can get a 300$ macro lense). A wide angle 24,28,35mm of your choosing lense for around 150-250$. And you'd still have money to spare!
My entire set up was about 1000 U$D I think, but here's the thing, I built it up as I thought I needed the thing, instead of having to spend everything off pocket all at once.
IF YOU ARE INTO PHOTOGRAPHY, DON'T GET A PHONE WITH A GOOD CAMERA, GET A PHONE AND A GOOD CAMERA, IT'S CHEAPER AND WILL BE MUCH BETTER!
(And for the people who'll 100% gonna tell me, but I can take my phone everywhere I go. Well, you can do that too with your camera, just get a bag! I take my phone in a bag anyway!)
An iPhone is also not a benchmark for the best smartphone cameras. So it's not a big deal that Sony is significantly better here than the IPhone 14 pro. The currently best camera smartphone is the Huawei P60 pro. That would be much more interesting as a comparison.
Huawei isn’t allowed in the USA market, though!
Great review! The Iphone has the double-tap on the back option to launch camera app. :)
The Sony will be my next phone. Coming from LG's V series the Sony would be the most similar. Headphone jack, SD card slot advance camera modes . A tool...not a toy. Great video!
Just came across your channel and wow well done good informatiin and wellcut. All the best to you too from Switzerland
How can you compare the sony camera when it's on a gimbal? Why wasn't Chelsea's phone on a gimble as well?
a little strange that it has 52 MP but only takes 12 MP stills. I myself have the cheaper xperia 10 V and it takes still images in 48 MP but video in 12 MP on the main camera. or did you choose 12 MP to compare.
"He's still trying to figure out his camera."
"The Sony is made for professional content creators and gives me a lot of options."
LOL It is a joy to watch you two interacting and having - obviously - a blast doing it.
Marriage and relationships aren't easy - but, you make it look like it is.
Excellent review. I, personally, can't stand Apple or anything Apple so will never even consider an iPhone. The Xperia, I find very interesting but - if I am serious about shooting something I would use a real camera because, let's face it, though the phone cameras are admittedly extremely good; fact is if you want true quality you have to bite the bullet and use a real camera.
adding; real analog camera.
@@Ortopedija1989 I, myself, am not into analog - if you mean film cameras - anymore. I realize there are results they can yield that digital can't.
But, it gets to the point where there's only so much time and with the adroit use of Photoshop etc. I find there's virtually no "look" I can't achieve.
It is, of course, a refined artistic distinction I would imagine you are referring to. No?
Not everyone can take their larger camera everywhere with them. I would prefer that the next best thing accessible to me, in essence, my phone, would be as close an experience as possible to my camera in situations like that.
@@LoganSLRLockwood my 35mm OM10 is just suitable and what i need for traveling and shooting, but for real project i use my RB67 which force me to visit fitness 🙂. And also use iphone8 if my wife wants me to shoot her😜.
@@LoganSLRLockwood I agree. I don't think one need spend $1,300.00 though to achieve superior results. If one had, for instance, the Google Pixel Pro 7 and was well versed in Photoshop / Lightroom etc. there is little one could not achieve - to a certain degree.
And for all the rest - there are real cameras to press into service that are up to the task at hand - instead of second best! Lol
6:35 that’s not more details on the iPhone, that’s word processing, basically adding details that do not exist (in this case the letters it has detected) using ML algorithms “Deep fusion”, it fails in certain scenarios (finer details) like in the back the wood lines on the house are better and naturally represented by the Sony.
Did I notice
On the studio
At the end of the video
When Chelsea turns her head and look towards Tony, the camera focussed on Tony's eyes perfectly and the other way around??
what about when editing the raw files though do you have more data and freedom with the sony files?
Frankly, I didn't like any photo and video taken with Sony.
I'm not an iPhone guy at all, but it wins here all the way.
Thank you for the review, as I was planning to pre-order the Sony V1, but not anymore!
I have pre-ordered the Xperia 1 mark V....in silver (looks great imho). This is the smartphone camera system I have been waiting for.
idk which settings and camera app u used for the low light test on Xperia 1 V, because i never had a result looking that bad in my low light videos captured with my xperia 1 V mhh probably u were using "dynamic range wide instead of standard"
I’m a 14 Pro owner and the camera even though is great, it has few flaws. I was honestly shocked when I got my hands on the 14 Pro with how terrible the camera can be on full auto.
Coming from iPhone XS prior to 14 Pro, the post-processing is just over the top making photos taken look very digitally processed with over sharpening being the most obvious one. iPhone used to have that balance between sharpness and detail, natural and authentic look on their photos but with every iteration of new so called “computational photography”, the images since have been hit and miss. However, the computational photography does help a lot when in low-light though.
I found myself have to use ProRAW in every single pictures and thankfully Apple ProRAW did a great good job without the need of post-editing. The pictures from ProRAW is much cleaner.
Just take a look at Xiaomi 14 Ultra and Vivo X100 Pro. The images are very clean, have that soft look to it mimicking DSLR camera. It blows away the competition, let alone iPhone 15 Pro with rather now outdated Sony IMX 803 image sensor. It recycles the same exact sensor from 14 Pro. The competition already moved on to next generation of Sony 1 inch LYT sensor.
When Sony gets the auto mode right with perfect post-processing, I’m pretty sure it’ll be the best camera ever for mass market. Sony already has the advantage of using advanced camera sensor (Exmor-T) that up until today, isn’t offered off the shelf for other manufacturers to use.
iPhone stop over-processing everything hahahahahaha
thanks, I would concur
You Can also take pictures of the moon with both yes the Sony phone would be able to zoom in farther, but if you bring the exposure down with the iPhone after zooming in all the way, you tap on the moon and then bring the brightness all the way down or at least as close to the bottom as you want, you can get a good moon shot same with the Sony phone except I don’t think you can move the exposure down. Maybe you can but either way both phones are great for moon shots also, has anyone ever noticed that if you Flip the pictures of the moon after taking them and then turn the picture two times or so you get the same craters that are on the Earth globe, and it looks identical like a mirror, and all of the same areas that the Earth has in the green and blue globe part of the earth. You also get on the moon if you do this it’s an exact replica
love the video great video always
problem with xperia is when I want to fine tune everything and have total control over what I shoot, I take out my mirrorless camera. IMO phone cameras should be for fast and easy access when I just want to take quick picture/video without thinking about and get best results on its own. iPhone has no competition in that. and xperia will never be as good as professional camera so I don't really see a point in having a phone like that.
id like to know the video settings for that last test 👀👀
Xperia V1 love ❤
Nice video. Do you have a gallery of computational photography shots taken with this Xperia versus Apple or better yet google pixel you could post?
In your “future Sony cameras“ recent video, you talked about Sony, potentially adding that feature to their cameras, but I wonder how it’s really working.
MKBHD seemed to say that he did not like the computational photography on Sony as much. Importantly, when he does the super big phone camera comparison every year, the Sonys always seem to do pretty badly despite their “pro” features. Whether it’s natural or not, people seem to like the processing that Google does much more than Sony.
I wonder if that will change this year? I understand I can do more on the backend, but if the point of a phone is sharing immediately, I don’t necessarily want to go into a Lightroom and mess with it.
Apa sih
I do not want to be disrespectful in any way, but this is the most beautiful lady I have ever seen. I will concede, he is handsome, so it makes sense, but my oh my.
And not to sound like a complete tool, I do enjoy your content. You guys are very knowledgable in this field.
Among all of the plusses, the biggest advantage of the Xperia is that it has Android
in low light you have to film in hdr to get good results
Sony is soo underrated
Damn Sony is getting there 👍👍
i was brought here because been searching for Sony 1V. great content suited for photographer curiosity, but i need to know this. starting from 4:00 timestamp, what camera is used to film that ??? awesome outdoor color and autofocus !!!
You two seem so frienly!! I'm feeling so much positive energy. However, I don't think it's fair to compare Sonys main camera with the iPhones selfie camera for vlogging. Also, I feel like you've shown us like 4 pictures in total, which is not enough to judge the results imo.
REALLY AMAZING AND INTERESTING VIDEO AS WELL AS INFORMATIVE
I have the the sony phone and my girlfriend has the iPhone and we both agree the picture quality and video and sound on the sony is way better.
Is this challeng is for iPhone face camera vs Sony main camera?
Thanks for this video. Been waiting for this. Up in the air with either buying the Sony Mark 5 or trying out a bridge camera like the Sony RX10 mark 4. No real camera experience except cell phones and cheap P&S. What do you recommend? I hike in the White Mountains/kayak in the Springs in Florida/waterfalls. Also, I bought your book about photography. Thanks
I think if you're feeling the urge to get a camera and studying the techniques than you should get a real camera. However I'd definitely recommend an interchangeable lens camera when you're ready because it's in changing lenses where you'll really see a difference from your smartphone photos.
Indeed .. it is all about LENSES
I have an « old » Full-Frame with « old » tech (2012 camera with 90s tech lenses.. Canon 6D and lenses as 135mm F/2 L or 35mm F/1.4 L) but still much better than a small sensor with a built-in zoom or the latest smartphone 📱
@@TonyAndChelsea Thanks for that information. I really appreciate it.
@@TonyAndChelsea Tony & Chelsea, a previous video made the point that a smartphone is a 'real' camera. Have you backtracked? 🤔Clearly from the further comments you distinguished between a smartphone and an interchangeable lens camera, although high-end smartphones do have a limited number of built-in interchangeable lenses.
@@michaeloravecz5752From a self taught photographer, an interchangeable lens camera is dedicated for taking photos. A phone camera is a phone first and then a camera. Not to say that the overall photo quality is bad on phones but they can try to compete with the quality from a dedicated pro camera is typically better than a phone camera.
I'm never going to give up a iPhone to a Sony, because there's no iPhone to start with.
I swapped from Android to iPhone a few years ago and I know that it takes more than a better camera to get me back to team green. But it's still great to see a good comparison, it also forces apple to stay on their toes and actually improve their stuff.
Some notes though: on the lock screen you can just swipe left to get the camera on the iphone. You can also add a shortcut to double (or triple) tap the apple logo, that's what i've done.
Also the iphone low light blows me away, not every time, but most of the times. Like how it handled the video here that's amazing.
Lowlight video here was night and day.
Can u make a comparison between sony and Huawei p60 pro
Always rooting for android, but the first part of the comparison was kinda unfair because you used added hardware for the Sony
There is no way I will give up iphone for sony xperia, number 1 reason is that the software support is miles apart
Maybe Sony could release an update allowing the full resolution of the main sensor for it's RAWs.
And I want to make two criticism of the Xperia because it appears Sony is finally listening!
For years I complained to reviewers of the past models that they should test the "Pro" modes. Finally this time finally everyone is doing that, but I was hurt by the monkey paw. With the V Sony finally started doing a bit of "computational photography", but it only shows on Basic/Auto mode. The Dynamic Range is that in the Pro/Manual modes seems very limited is actually very good, even exposing the lights correctly during the night, but only in Basic/Auto mode.
Couldn't Sony keep this processing when using manual controls too?
The other things is... personally, I don't think that variable zoom camera is doing much. The range is too limited and the less very blurry with low contrast. I don't think is work the cost, not at this quality.
Apart for that, it's perfect!
And I think that despite the bad result in night video seems in Tony and Chelsea test, you can get dramatically better results adjusting the shutter speed correctly.
A7s3 is 48MP quadbayer , sony blocks this option.
Obviously xperia will never have as well.
@vloging part - how can you say xperia is the clear winnner? skin tones? xperia two oranges vs overshaprened iphone i choose oversharpened
Can you record external audio in main video app or you need to use open camera app. I have Motorola mobile and I can only record with external microphone using open camera app that doesn't work with all my mobile lenses and resolutions.
On the Sony yeah you can do this. You can even set the sensitivity of the mic in VideoPro
You have microphone controls within video pro and cine pro.
Also wind filter function.
OMG!!! This kind of phone is what I have been looking for a while! This is crazy!😮😮😮
I don't understand how Tony can take the Xperia for 1 day and get drastically different results than every other reviewer out there. There is absolutely no chance the iphone can produce a better night shot than the Sony at double the light hitting the sensor. Its like they didn't want to shame Apple too hard, so they can still get sponsorships I dunno
The Sony needs a few adjustments to get the best results. Way better than the iPhone though.
No phone could ever make Chelsea look bad! All kinds of beautiful! 😮❤
Interesting comparison, but I found many of Tony's comments were super bias.
For example on Chelsea's skin, where it looked to me like Apple's was much more natural and was just rendering her skin and makeup when Sony's was oversmoothing tons and was looking super waxxy
I personally don't like these super-tall aspect ratio because the user interface is generally poorly designed in landscape mode. It takes up far too much space and the content is limited to a thin strip. Examples: browsing the web, using the quick menu or even the keyboard. I'm not saying that the phone is terrible, but the interface really needs to be improved for these screen formats.
They are not meant to be used in landscape on this phone for sure.
Why are you using any smartphone in landscape mode for browsing the Internet?
For me it’s no contest that the Sony photos look more presentable in most cases. No doubt the iPhone is no slouch though but I am not a fan of all their photo processing, namely the over sharpening that happens on my 12 Pro Max. Causes a lot of photos to look ghastly. Perhaps they have improved this on the 14 and 15, I cannot say from experience. But I’m looking for a change and that’s one of the main reasons I’m trying the Sony.
Switched from P30 Pro to 14 Pro and there's a lot of sharpening and other in-camera processing going on. Especially with scenes that contain clouds, sunsets and morning haze it tends to drastically oversharpen/overcontrast the picture to a point that I have to use (and edit) ProRaw for those situations. I'm going to try the Pixel 8 Pro for a while. Curious about your experience with the Sony by the way.
What external screen was that you used with the sony?
I was waiting for you guys to review this phone. Honestly, I trust no one more for reviews. Thank you 😊.
Also, can someone please confirm if it has the 960fps slow motion?
Would also be great if you can comment on the battery life.
For context, I have an S10 with faulty battery. I'm not sure if that's why, but it can't take slow motion now without stuttering and skipping frames. Can also drain the whole battery in ~2hrs if I use the camera. Hence I haven't taken much photos in the last 6 months 😢.
no it doesnt havee 960 fps at that is the old Quad Bayer sensor
note the 960fps is another feature that samsung ripped off from sony
@@theSFCchannel That's a shame. I was looking forward to the 1080p 960fps in Sony. 720p in my S10 is really bad.
so you trust those who say the Sony video footage is great and just gloss over the fact that they look bright orange and washed out?
Hi @@doctormarazanvose4373 , I am more focused on factors like noise, dynamic range, focusing speed etc. The exposure & colours can be adjusted in post. (Not claiming I'm good at it😅)
I trust them more because they never claim anything without proof or logic. It is also influenced by how I think as well. I am a person who gets into the technical details like Tony. And over the years I've found that my opinions aligned with his.
So if I were to buy a product, I'd take his word over other 'tech influencers' anyday.
Been waiting for this!!!
9:17 There are seven dead pixels on your A7S III. What happened? One on the top right and the rest on the left of the sensor
Sony is the only company still making flagships with headphone jacks and sd cards... truly the only company catering to people who truly use their phones. Everyone else is like "nah you use it the way we tell you to. And please buy pointless accessories."
I remember when Apple ditched the 3.5mm jack and introduced the bluetooth earbuds for £120 extra on top of the ridculous price of the phone - and STILL idiots wouldn't ditch Apple. It's like they cast a magic spell.
"all manual settings available"?
Can one set the shutter speed and aperture? Or isn't it just the aperture which can be set?
I don't know if it just my laptop screen or what, but in the video flogging comparison, sony's skin tone is too much reddis-orange but iphone skin tone is perfect. I'm using asus oled screen laptop btw..
"One Vee". It's mark five. :)
Will that screen work on the back of the 14 pro max? Surly it would?
