As a German: american ambulances used to sound strange to me until I watched all the bloopers of your real-world tests... great video, thank you!
The fact that u can learn lots of new things about Berlin even as a german and on top of that get a great review about an interesting smartphone says it all. Very good job, your videos really differ from the slump of countless other reviews! ☺
Love the camera comparisons. I was expecting the iPhone to best them all. But was surprised that the Pixel impressed me the most, with the Xperia 5 IV coming in second. Another observation is how good all the phone cameras were. Thanks for the video.
Yea, I thought xperia will be the last because it lacks of AI but the photos are good tho
@@RamlyJer The power of hardware over software.
Basically all thanks to Sony which makes the image sensors to all these phones.
Sony wins regardless what brand phone you get, but I'm an apple hater 🤪
@@flat-outsamsung sensor better than sony.
I love how sony and iphone give out the sunset image it look natural while samsung and pixel look like shooting in days time and just place the sun there by editing
Even if I'm not interested in the product, I love watching your videos!!! 😁
thanks for a detailed, well arranged video, not like other review videos that sitting in front of a table and talk talk talk, really love the way you review a phone in a pleasant trip to Germany.
and i watch a xperia video, then fall in love with pixel. 🙃
The train sounds like 'Lux Aeterna' by György Ligeti, which was used very famously in Stanley Kubrick's masterful film, '2001: A Space Odyssey'. Incredible. Tremendously eerie and evocative.
I'm a 5 II user trying to talk myself into upgrading to the 5 IV because I love the design of this phone but the Pixel's photos just look SO. MUCH. BETTER.
None beats Xperia on these segments:
Speed
Camera
Software stability
Build quality
Battery health durability
And waterproof.
SGG has some sort of explainer about battery draining when using the camera and how it needs to shut down some apps or services while using the camera.
Love seeing you explore a new place and a lovey cameo from the man Juan. The phone is letting Sony down a little sadly and I can’t believe how they’re cameras are performing even at the high end, when they are the market leading camera and lense maker. Difference in computational photography is so plain to see right here.
I have a question, have you seen a move where from opinions in tech you tube? I feel that everyone is leaving the viewer to make up their mind after presenting all the evidence. Which makes sense, opinions are usually controversial in this space and no business really wants controversy, but, you’re using all these phones, I wouldn’t mind hearing YOUR opinion on some areas. We do value opinions but I understand it’s the finest of balances.
Looking forward to the next video as always!
Came for the city. Loved seeing the places I visited years ago. Berlin is a beautiful city filled with so much history. The phone is nice too. 😄
Thank you for watching regardless of the device 🙏
@@TheUnlockr I enjoy your videos especially even more now because of the outro sound bloopers. Your experience dealing with those is just amusing as someone who's lived in the NYC/NJ area. 😋
Loved it.I personally love the Xperia phone's but there is a long way to go for Sony in terms of computational photography prowess.Other than that their phone's are simply one of the best out there😍🙂 even though they are a bit pricier when compared to its competition.
Им не нужен тот ии . С алгоритмами тоже полный фарш. Оптимизация и софт камер немного завинтить и поставить наконец-то нормальное охлаждение
I really love the design of Sony phones. The matte black is gorgeous and it looks like a fancy camera.
I love that you incorporate the history of where you are in your reviews- so interesting and I know it isn't part of the review but I find your end of the video bloopers hilarious.
I'm probably going to buy this phone. The only things keeping me from loving it are the long screen & older processor. A 5.5" screen would be ideal. Normal aspect ratio please. I don't care if it has to be thicker to fit everything.
... than just buy an Asus Zenfone 8 or 9. Their screens are 5.9 inches. I like the screen size of the Sony Xperia's 5. I have the Nothing Phone 1 also and it feels too heavy and big comparing with the Sony.
Yes!! Once again: tech and history in one video! I love it.
Please can you make a video that is not only focused on the cameras of the xperia mark iv, but also talks about the software, its behavior and utilities that can improve day-to-day use. Like voice dialing, reminders, product features, etc, etc, etc,?
almost there. Fix the heating issue, and its perfect
Sony makes such great devices that are always hampered by their own pricing, and that's coming from a USer using an Xperia 1 IV.
I really like Xperia's simplicity but packs features.
This is the video I have been looking for!!! Thanks for putting up the side by sides. I want a flat screen phone. I knew sony had one, but I think I will go Pixel 7. Thanks again! Great work!!
Needless to insist: sony's approach in the world of photography is different, more influenced by its alpha sector that sees the user prevail over the software. I can understand that it is convenient to point and shoot but with tools like photo pro it is not so easy to make good images. Personally I always shoot in jpeg + raw.
Pictures on s22 plus came out pretty clear and good 👍
Great review - Used Xperias for a long time (Z2, C4, XZ, XZ2, and finally the first version of the 5). I think I've slowly come around to the fact that Sony has shifted their offerings to satisfy a niche customer base that I'm not really a part of anymore, which is kind of a bummer. I can get by with a mid-range Motorola with a massive battery and average camera compared to what I paid for my 5, which had remarkably disappointing cameras (a non-focusing telephoto for one), below average battery life, and cell reception, which was an issue on all of my Xperias. I also had to retire my XZ2 due to them not getting it certified for VoLTE which was pretty annoying and forced my hand into buying the 5 without doing more research on it first.
The video qality is unmatched, the not edited colors that comenfrom the phone a gorgeus
Dude, I am going to Berlin in 2 weeks for the marathon. Your travel videos are great.
Fact, Germany a big shareholder of Xperia mobiles and other brands, Sony Xperia phones are still sold in Europe but not outside Europe.
Great review. Spot on point about Sony using their best camera hardware.
yeah,problem is that those big sensors are not easy to master, and that quad bayer bininng isnt all that great!that is why they retain the 12 mp.
@Tanase Adrian okay but if Xiaomi and others can master it, why can't Sony? They design and manufacture it, use it their Pro-i model, and have a huge camera/imaging business.
What the hell did I just watch? I wanted to check other reviews of xperia 5 iv, but now I'm curious about berlin, history, ww, anything. Whaaat? Also, a suggestion. When you put 4 photos of 4 different phones on screen, you should place them randomly each time, and reveal the phones in some seconds, so we could pick our best without knowing which phone took it. Lets play! Anyway, wow. Keep going, this review blew me.
It was really nice meeting you and was waiting for this video too.
Jaime Rivera's distorted reflection makes him look like Uptin Saiidi. I thought this was another CNBC visit.
A history teacher who disguised a tech guy😂😍🙏
I'd love an Xperia, but they have to sort out the overheating problems, especially with the amount they charge for these devices.
They should seriously figure this out imo
The only I noticed was how good the pixel 6 Pro is in all conditions! But come on Sony I want Sony to have the best camera again. They have a good hardware set but computational photography they need to catch up. It was very close to S22 though
Someday Sony will do that...but their focus is on the Sony Alpha cameras, the real cameras, if they have the best cameras on phones right now it will cannibalize their camera sales. They still need to beat Canon and Nikon completely, but they're already ahead with the Xperia when someday they will decide to dominate it and put all Sony Alpha resources to it.
Wonderful content and I always enjoy the tour 😁
Watching this on my 5 II. I'm glad to see that they brought back this design for the camera bump, so my flagship doesn't feel as outdated anymore, but also sad that they took away the unique camera tech we have in 5 III.
How's your experience with your handset? Will Sony makes at least 3 software updates ?
@@rahimarshad1114 The experience is great overall, but there are a few annoying bugs, notably with the gesture-based navigation. Sometimes the navigation sign at the bottom doesn't disappear during full-screen video playback, the only fix is to go to the main screen and then swipe up again.
@@rahimarshad1114 I don't think there is another big Android update coming, sadly :/
It would be so neat though!
Great video as always, love your delivery style and also the outtakes at the end 🤣
omg the dynamic range of the iphone 13 pro is superb
Great video David! I knew literally nothing about Sony phones until your video. Sony packs many interesting options into their phones when it comes to the camera and video. Yet it seems there needs to be some refinement. I do like that it runs a bare Android OS. Really enjoyed the spot of Germany's history. Thanks, I really enjoy your work.
The behind the scene 😅🤣🤣🤣 painfully fun 😄
I LOVE your review and how I'm always learning something new about history and adding things to my Google Maps for visiting later in the future when I travel 👍
LOL still remember that Michael Fisher video and his words about being high... 🤣😂
A device for a very specific target, I feel like Sony uses his devices to show his hardware and capabilities to the potential big buyers, like TV stations but also other brand so they keep selling a huge amount of sensors.
Wondering if the sound service by Sony could have removed the birds and trains from the recording.
Ok, I was there on IFA 2018, I wasn't able to gather with you, because you are too busy and i leave Germany early, but man i regretted it for much, I feel like i visit a different city where was nothing, you do a great research and make the place way better with your histories and charisma.
Kind of interesting how an American Xperiaence Berlin. I would consider Xperia 5 IV and love the design and quality of Sony phones. Sadly there still is no good night mode as you can easily see in those night pictures and they use smaller sensors in their own flagships than the ones they sold to others. I don’t really understand their strategy, maybe there is none. And for the price of iPhone most people just buy iPhone.
You can install Gcam on it. I have the Sony Xperia 5 iii and the night mode works like a charm with Gcam.
I have been patiently waiting for this and you delivered like always
No trains here but we make up for it with the alarming number of cars.
I wish i had one this phone, i realy love Sony Xperia
hi do you use the xiaomi 12t pro in day life please ?
amazing video
Why are you comparing the photos with the s22 plus and not the ultra ?
Sony phones to me are like the Kodak phones from years ago. Remember those? Those who make cameras taking stabs into the phone market but fail to understand. Since a phone just isn't a camera, that's where the problems start. Their operation system isn't all that fun and feels clunky at times. Where are the more cool touches to their operating system? Their cameras on the phone are real good don't get me wrong but competition in the android ecosystem is so strong. So people aren't so willing to drop 1K when they can get similar or better performance at $400 or less. Catering to photographers is tough because chances are high, they have thousand dollar cameras that are way better anyways. So these sony phones end up being put on the self for most. Photographers have better options and the regular crowd prefers iPhone or Samsung/etc just my thoughts.
Out side of using the camera, does the phone get hot on normal usage? I really hate hot phones when I'm just browsing the web, playing simple games like Pokemon Go or watching TH-cam or Twitch. Can you confirm the phone won't warm up on those situations?
Interesting review on the Experia as a tool for creatives and surprised about the overheating on the phone. Berlin looking great and I hope you had a great time with Pocketnow. 👍
The pixel really kills it in the photo department. Just wish the fingerprint scanner was better or had face recognition also
Have it since release and it was ok. Havent had much issues but with android 13 it got a huge push and is really good now.
But they should switch to a better technology like 3d ultrasonic like on the vivo.
I have an Xperia 1ii, the cinema pro for me is difficult to use because of the manual control, especially on the bright day and one more thing what we see on the viewfinder is different after we display it on a bigger screen because of the look and we need a proper editing tool to edit the video..
I shoot several videos with the cinema pro but only 1 good and usable.
Berlin, my favourite city to visit.
Damm. I would like to invite you for coffee here. Next time?
This is the first video of yours that i watched, SUBBED!
Thank you!
5 iv = super natural colors
man I would go crazy if Sony made the pixel phone but since google does there own hardware now that will never happen smh also the video seems pretty average but those photos look amazing
damn that pixel 6 is crazy good
Get Well Soon David! That Fisher chap labored the overheating much more than you have - put me off straight away - I love the Xperia for all the reasons you do, so pinning my hopes on them getting it right on the X5v & making do with my X5ii for another 12months! Unless you can get me a £600 discount on an X1iv of course 🤣
bạn hảy nói điều đó với apple, ý tôi nói là giá bán.
I wanna get drunk on the Förnsehtörm, too 😁
Great video, was this filmed on the Sony Xperia 5? Or only when indicated? Thank you
These recording conditions will drive Unlockr to go record in anechoic chamber one day in the future hehe.
Sony Xperia seems really promising tool for someone who's really into content creation. Apart from the overheating aspect. I'm just a casual food-for-instagram photographer, won't need a phone like that ever. But good to know someone takes care of that niche.
Also: frequently running short trains might be railcars, they serve the suburbs and shuttle people. Knowing Germans, they probably have lots of these.
Love your content man, but please share : what about the overheating problem? 🤔, thank you
I mention it in the video
@@TheUnlockr 18:26 really? So vag.. Few general words... No details, how many minutes video in 4k 120 fps etc. So please treat this problem seriously and please provide some exact stats! Thank you.
@@inSaNe_44 i think 40m recording 4k, seem pretty good
I can actually say "coffee...check!" with you this time, lol.
Funny when Americans go to Europe they refer to things as European this and that like the German Ambulance, trust me it depends on the country its not a European thing
Will buy this if I can get it for $599 lmao I love xperia devices but that battery life 😵💫
Fr
That NFC sign on the back makes me laugh.
Pixel 6 pro does a very good job , much better then others
I like the style of review :)
S22 plus is Amazing ❤️
I got to ask David, is the IFA event a press-only invitation or can the public attend the event?
Also, I'm surprised that Sony made the camera sensors for other smartphones (including ones found in the iPhone 13 lineup) but never used the best ones for their own.
Sony uses their 12MP sensors that are compatible with 20 fps with AF and AE. That is not possible for those large 50 to 100MP sensors as they need to down sample to 12 MP for output.
You can attend as general public. Just reserve a daily ticket for 13-17€ and spend the whole day (8-18h) walking around and visiting all the companies stands or for some, buildings, since big companies like Sony or Samsung need a whole building the size of a department store inside the fair. The place is so big that sometimes you need to take the internal bus to go from one to other company. I recommend at least 2 days to see everything without hurrying.
God Bless you for talking about that camera! I was heavily disappointing about the move to ditch the variable optic on the telephoto cam. My heart literary sank. And yes, you would think that with all the expertise with making all them sensors they would do SOMETHING with that sensor, I mean they used to have 24mp sensors, and SD 8 Gen 1 can support like 30+ MP triple camera, why not make use of such!!
And not to mention their poor, really poor auto mode, its a 1000dollar machine like wth!!
I really love them but these moves they make just make me feel disappointed, or maybe I had too much hope in them doing something nice this year. Now the 14s look like a really great deal with that 48mp
I'm sad, very sad.
Happy to see you in a different country 😊
4:13 beautiful aspect ratio
8Gen1 is the wolf in the sheep's clothing. They should have given 8+gen 1 for that price.
It's nice to see Jaime in your video. and the interview about the history of IFA and pocketnow is new to me.
Would you take the S21 FE over this? My choices at work..
And the Pixel 6 Pro wins again mostly in the picture department
Signal quality? Any issues? 5G on Tmobile?
These reviews rarely get a like from me , mainly , because they are reviewed by a reviewer that primarily uses an iPhone and that's their preferred daily device and the criteria they have as a good smartphone is different to that of an Android user. Otherwise their preferred device would be an Android with Android OS. What they think is better is at times much different than what I see as a superior device and software. If they have a completely different point of view, I don't see the point he has as being relevant to my opinions . He doesn't daily drive this gear and is actually on the outside looking in for what's important to me. No thanks 👎
that s seems like a harsh comment :) I think he can have some objectivity even if it s not its daily driver.
Give us some numbers pls. How long can it run 4K/120FPS before overheating and how long with 2K/240FPS?
I'm curious to know if the 5 iv doesn't have bloatware apps, or at least they can be deleted !! Facebook, LinkedIn, Dropbox are already installed in the phone, I bet if they can be removed and not "disabled" !!
❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊 good natural video
Look how high we are and not the way high you usually think I am 😂 I remember when I first seen that video that sold me on Mike's charisma
I want to love it... I'd love to have it... I just don't think I could part my money for it... unless I had money to burn for it! 🤣 Thanks for the truck sounds revie... I mean phone review! 😂
I think Sony is Number One in the World
i love you google pixel
Okay but why does the pixel camera look so much better???
How does it compare to the 1?
please compare xperia 1 iv and xperia 5 iv
Great video, love IFA and Berlin content. Sounds like a great phone.
Why does the audio quality of this video sound extremely good? 🙄
Ohhh c'mon Sony .. the same dark pictures and motion blure as on my Xperia III? Man - i hoped there would be better.
Another great review.
We need to stop this narrative that the 1" sensor is the best sensor.
It is bigger but isn't better. That sensor no just drains the battery unnecessarily, but is way slower and is a quad-bayer sensor.
Better lowlight performance but Sony will have to drop RealTime Eye AF, 20fps burts, HDR Burst and it will produce a lot of heat.
price tag,why not buy a real camera like zv e10?
Pixel 6 pro looks great camera
Where are iphone 14 series real world tests?
