Xperia pro-i needs to be viewed as mobile phone version of the rx100. Computational photography is great for convenience. However if somebody knows how to make use of manual options then the only obstacle s are the conditions you are presented with. Sensor size and pixel sizes are another agenda.

Hello! Camera comparisons are not about manual adjustments. In that case, it would not be about the camera app and the software of the phone, but about the user - which would make all of these phone comparisons irrelevant. In our opinion, you should be asking Sony for a better Basic and Pro auto mode. If two phones have similar results, then they can tie. If there is a big difference like in the Portrait category, then there will be no tie. It isn't about guns or whatever, it is just how the system works.

I got the iPhone for the best value IF you worry about battery life. If battery isn’t a worry then the Pixel is the go to for this scenario. Crazy thing is that Sony is almost a $1000 more than the Pixel 6 Pro and $700 more than the iPhone.
@Tessoro Desoto true, that’s still a considerable difference though. A user can also argue that the 13 Pro can be considered too since it’s essentially the same phone as the 13 Pro Max but smaller. The pixel would also be $1099 for the 512 variant but seeing as it’s the Sorta Sunny color, it’s only 128GB
Great comparison, great commentary and really fun editing! As an apple maxi Ive to stick with Iphone13 Pro Max but I must say that I am actually very impressed with pixel 6 pro
@@neonieldumagan1781 I hace a Pixel 6 Pro and it's battery is more than enough for an entire day. Just use the Battery Saving mode if you need it and it will last easilly one and a half days with a single charge.
For realism and ease of use I give the edge to the Pixel. That stabilization for video is worth more than one point to videographers and the yellow tint is more true to how the world looks. iPhones color “correction” is actually EDITING and changes the colors based on a program that is trying to make the image prettier rather than capture well what it actually looks like.
The whole point of camera comparisons is to point and shoot. You're able to manually adjust every phone camera these days, so how would a human playing around with the settings be more trustworthy than the software's own Auto mode? Wouldn't it be like comparing the skill of the person taking the photo, rather than the phone and its camera?
You are let the camera doing it’s job in auto mode which most of the other TH-camrs does. I thought this video will show me how the pro features on Sony and Google works by controlling manually.
Hi Angelus! All comparisons are done with the auto mode, as this is how 99% of people use their phone cameras. It is not a comparison about professional photography.
@@versus_com Sony will never win on a point and shoot basis its the actual Pro phone. You and your fellow reviewers rarely give the Xperia a fair shot using it like someone who would pay 1800 dollars for this phone..total waste of time
Wrong comparison, you used the basic camera app for Xperia which is wrong.. Sony Xperia powerfull with photography Pro, videography Pro and cinema Pro. You can't compare the best of pixel and iPhone with the basic of Xperia

Pixel - Realistic Pro-I - Manual Pro User iPhone - Yellow
This is more of a review of the most basic of pro modes... Auto mode is a decent mode on the Xperia PRO-I if you actually edit the raw files... Also something to note is that again he is using Pro Auto mode... Which is okay but really to get the best results you need to treat it like an actual camera and not a phone... Program Auto would have been your best bet... And then chose your ev adjustment and you're good to go but also... Raw makes a big difference too... So basically the test was the equivalent of buying a M3/M4 and leaving it in eco mode and saying its not so good... A lot of these phone reviews are really just awkward as they for the most part point click... While the iPhone and pixel are intentionally designed to work that way... That is not really what the Xperia is for... I can tell you first hand that the iPhone is sometimes a little better in pretty low light handheld... But it's not due to the anything other than the iphones wider aperture allowing the iphone to shoot at lower iso... And maybe even a faster shutter speed so it needs less stabilization. With the Sony you can get a very similar image but you will need to play with noise reduction in post... But if you leave the Xperia in Auto particularly at night it will try and do a pretty long exposure and bump iso decently high... Generally, with the iso at night, I find I can usually bump down the iso one or two notches from autos recommendation unless I'm needing a really fast shutter speed... I find for me I can hand hold about 1/10th maybe 1/8th if I'm really stablehanded that day haha... With the Xperia it takes a little practice and it will get you the results you just have to know what the camera is going to do and decide what you need to get the shot you want.
Thanks for your comment! For all comparisons, we use the best modes available. Every phone camera can be played around with manually, and you can also manually make one of the phones worse on accident. This is more a comparison of the camera and the software!
@@versus_com Every phone doesn't have the same ability to push shadows and lower highlights in post like a Sony. It has a larger sensor so it retains more information in a photo in Raw mode than ANY other cell phone camera can. But you clearly don't know or understand photography. This is like comparing the gas mileage on a Prius vs a Maserati. I get your videos are for views and so you simplify it for the masses but come on man don't downplay the Sony software and I say this as a Nikon shooter for my photography.
I don't think it's fair to compare the PRO-I without using manual controls, that's what it's supposed to be used after all, being pro is not about shooting in full auto mode
8:56 Google's audio is best. This may have been the best comparison video on the Google Pixel 6 pro and the Apple iPhone 13 pro Max camera that I've seen on TH-cam.
I like this dude. Proper production quality and pleasure to listen to, and a detailed camera comparison in different conditions. You sir don't have enough likes and subs.
Xperia has the best camera on any smartphone invented , the fact u have this large sensor is really a game changer , u should mention in ur video that to use Xperia at it best u should use the pro app , u basically have a dslr in ur pocket and when someone with no knowledge use a dslr u get same bad quality as the video u provided of the Xperia . seeing another videos o youtube and how mind blowing their results' are , definitely proves that you should not compere this phone that way of u should have mentioned that with Xperia u get completely different results if u used it with pro app the point is , Xperia is the best option for video and photographers , content creators lads how love to act or take a cinematic vid's and they are willing to spent time to learn a the manual controls to get amazing results , even for normal people taking a 3 days to learn how to use manual cntrols is not that hard .
Well we were trageting the average user not the pro user.... that is why we dont use the pro mode... in this case the sony, even though it has all the pro capability, does not perform.. we are getting what you are pointing out,... thinking about using a phone to shoot in pro mode is a wierd thing to do.. considering the price you pay especially for this phone... why dont you get a dslr for the same price with even better quality? just somehting to think about...
All i can say is this review is totally unfair for sony xperia .. this youtuber doesnt have knowledge about photography .. People who like to taking photos click and share will like this video but as a photographer, I disagree with this comparision
If you don't know how to set up the sony camera then don't compare it to others,when set up right,the Sony smokes it rivals in almost every category and it's not even close.
The iPhone camera is great, but when I remember the charging port , ios Difficulty synchronizing files, restricted programs, inability to flash memory only these reasons are enough, to difficulty breathing, nausea, headache, disgust, attacking and insulting Apple in a subconscious way
You missed out on the cost factor which makes for a good few points over the iPhone 13. As a photographer I had a hard time deciding between pixel and iPhone but I went for pixel and it's been superb to use. Not to mention, their firmware updates are going to make it even better. Use of third party apps for cameras is also a huge Plus point for Pixel.
Actually, we have a professional photographer. I'm sure he knows how to use a manual camera. The problem is, Jesson, that these comparisons are about phones and not professional cameras. Software is included in the phone, and it is responsible for adjusting settings. If we start playing around with the settings on the Xperia, then we have to start playing around with every single phone. If we do that, then what is the point of the software? Most people point and click with their devices, and that is what we're trying to cover. Also, we didn't use Basic mode, but used the Pro auto mode.
If you used auto mode on the Sony, then what is the point of the whole review? Lol you have to use pro mode in Sony, this review is childish honestly.. the title says , “PRO”
We actually used it in Pro mode. If you listen carefully to the part about the Portrait photos, we said that we had to use Basic for THAT specific mode because that is the only mode the phone allows. We used the Pro mode for all wide and ultrawide photos, and also used the Video Pro and Cinema Pro for shooting video.
agreed, looks like auto hdr is turned off too... though i prefer it off at times, it just turned different on this comparison as the other two uses auto hdr by default...
By means of pro, we literally mean taking advantage of the controls that the Photo Pro app gives to users that the iPhones and Pixels don't. Right from the start, this isn't even something needed to be made because of the clear difference in target audience between Sony and Apple & Google. What is the Xperia Pro-I meant for? It's essentially for those who already happen to own a mirrorless camera like the Sony Alphas and want to have a phone that could somehow resemble the imaging science of their proper digital cameras, and also can act as an external monitor for them. And it also explains why Sony doesn't sell million units of this, nor do they plan to, because it is a clearly niche market that they're targeting, so this is a truly inappropriate to compare it against mainstream flagships and give it a bad reputation for not being suited according to everyone's likings.
can you made another comparison video but with editing that frames? I think that potential of sony and iphone will be incriased becouse of RAW formats on iphone and as i know Sony not using algoritms for better quality but you can more flexible control of the camera during shooting and then it is more convenient to edit
Google as a company has software prowess as its core strength. My Pixel 3 with just one camera can still put most triple camera phones to shame. Note that the whole world is following the software road now and the tendency is to do away with the physical and use software only. On the other hand, some will argue that software can never achieve what hardware can. But in reality it actually needs to be a combination of both and we will achieve the best of both worlds.
Wish you would zoom in and talk more about what determines your conclusion. For example the night shots. You never discuss which has the most detail in the dark.

as a sony user who been through Nokia - Sony ericsson era let just be honest sony is always hard selling their brand ...like...1.7k usd for a smartphone with not much unique features that a high end phone should have ( Except pro apps for camera / video ) some of you may defend sony on how good their camera is when using the pro apps...yeah can't deny it is good while in pro mode but for the same time and money that you can get a real camera you make a good shot too, im talking a A7iii here cost 1.9k USD we all know this is A.I Computational tech generation, with the old method of making smartphone, and never move on to adapt tech outside of their expertise, they just stay where they are... Sony may say their target market are those photographer, but again...most photographer would still bring along a camera the sensor of smartphone would never beat the real camera due to size differences, just never..imagine smartphone would put in a larger sensor than 1inch, the phone will be large and bulky the shot result of iphone and pixel here just show you how A.I computational photograph is going to blow out your mind how future of photography is. Of course, it still need a good sensor for the foundation, and A.I would just "fix" everything.
The Xperias also have flaws but on the Pro-i the sensor and lens are clearly superior to both the iPhone and the Pixel 6; Xperia should be used in manual mode to get the best out of it and it was designed for that. Then no one noticed that the Google 6 has purple flare problems and we are at 2023, you can see it both in the photo and in the video. Hi everyone.
Great video!! ..... Would really like to see TH-camr camera comparisons with action photos (Sports, moving objects, etc.). Im always taking photos of my kids playing sports and only my pixel phones were coming out non-blurry and without using "burst shot" all the time (Samsung, you listening).
Pretty impressive by the Pixel 6 Pro. And that video stabilization is the icing on the cake if you want to play sports with your kids while recording them.
I have all the phones but iphone 13. I have the XR, anyways if your have the time and patience the Xperia is a beast. Thing is most people want a point and shoot which is why iphone or pixel don't have a pro mode natively. While I love my Xperia they really need to focus on that front facing camera. They also need to let 3rd party apps access the API as video calls or anything else outside the native camera app looks like trash. For that reason my sim stays either in my pixel 6 pro or Z fold 3. It's more in my Pixel 6 Pro because of the call screening feature and live translate. If you speak/study multiple languages the NPU on the Pixel is where it's at.
.In audio you have to change the setting on the sony,,because it has rear micro phone,, . you should also include manual mode,, I think you are just a basic reviewer and less known in photography and videography
Hi, Alfred! This was the manual (Pro) usage with its Auto mode. Not Basic mode. Basic was only used for selfies and portrait photos, because it doesn't let you take those photos in any other mode. The problem is, we are testing phone cameras and their softwares - not photographers. If we manually change settings for each phone for each photo, what is the point of the software?
Sony = Cinematography. Pixel = Videography. iPhone = Best of both worlds due to ProRes and Cinematic Mode in which this video failed to mention. ProRes kick started the Indy film industry (RAW vs ProRes) so its fair to mention what makes it "Pro". Most users I've seen reviewing the iPhone 13 Pro seem to have no idea how to grade ProRes. You will most definitely deduct points going off ProRes (unedited) so its no wonder it gets a bad rep. I wonder how many are throwing a filter over ProRes instead of a LUT.
For the casual smartphone users that just want to automatically point and shoot the Pixel and iPhone is better than the Pro-i. However taken the time to adjust the manual camera controls on the Pro-i will get better photo results than the Pixel and iPhone.
If we were to manually adjust a phone, we would have to do this for every phone and it wouldn't make too much sense. We did use the Auto mode though, but the other phones unfortunately optimize their software a bit better.

I got the iPhone for the best value IF you worry about battery life. If battery isn’t a worry then the Pixel is the go to for this scenario. Crazy thing is that Sony is almost a $1000 more than the Pixel 6 Pro and $700 more than the iPhone.
@Tessoro Desoto true, that’s still a considerable difference though. A user can also argue that the 13 Pro can be considered too since it’s essentially the same phone as the 13 Pro Max but smaller. The pixel would also be $1099 for the 512 variant but seeing as it’s the Sorta Sunny color, it’s only 128GB
Oh boy the Xperia photos look underwhelming, but the videos look straight up HORRIBLE. It has like ZERO dynamic range lol
Great comparison, great commentary and really fun editing! As an apple maxi Ive to stick with Iphone13 Pro Max but I must say that I am actually very impressed with pixel 6 pro
Thanks for watching!
The only sad thing about the pixel is its battery. Iphone really nailed it!
@@neonieldumagan1781 Yes the Google Tensor chip is a power hog and is responsible for the Pixel 6/ 6 Pro's poor battery life.
@@neonieldumagan1781 I hace a Pixel 6 Pro and it's battery is more than enough for an entire day. Just use the Battery Saving mode if you need it and it will last easilly one and a half days with a single charge.
@@neonieldumagan1781 doesn't worth the extra hundreds of dollars tho
Great video! Stabilization though is huge. PIXEL nailed it as far as all around great performer. Hard to go wrong either way.
For realism and ease of use I give the edge to the Pixel. That stabilization for video is worth more than one point to videographers and the yellow tint is more true to how the world looks. iPhones color “correction” is actually EDITING and changes the colors based on a program that is trying to make the image prettier rather than capture well what it actually looks like.
Thanks for your comment!
cracks me that people use the xperia like a point and shoot phone and are surprised they cant get hyper hdr crap like the other 2 phones
The whole point of camera comparisons is to point and shoot. You're able to manually adjust every phone camera these days, so how would a human playing around with the settings be more trustworthy than the software's own Auto mode? Wouldn't it be like comparing the skill of the person taking the photo, rather than the phone and its camera?
In sony xperia you should not click with normal camera app with auto mode rather use Pro controls
Still Sony's picture is the best ....i think those who are into photography and some knowledge about it will love it too
Ah, no 👎 ☠️
Xperia rende al meglio se usato in manuale.
Exactly
The google pixel camera is my favourite❤
It is really good!
You are let the camera doing it’s job in auto mode which most of the other TH-camrs does.
I thought this video will show me how the pro features on Sony and Google works by controlling manually.
Hi Angelus! All comparisons are done with the auto mode, as this is how 99% of people use their phone cameras. It is not a comparison about professional photography.
@@versus_com Sony will never win on a point and shoot basis its the actual Pro phone. You and your fellow reviewers rarely give the Xperia a fair shot using it like someone who would pay 1800 dollars for this phone..total waste of time
Wrong comparison, you used the basic camera app for Xperia which is wrong.. Sony Xperia powerfull with photography Pro, videography Pro and cinema Pro. You can't compare the best of pixel and iPhone with the basic of Xperia
For a £1500 phone, your expecting to have good basics as well as pro settings. It shouldn't be an excuse.
Hello, Raed! Sorry, but we used the Pro auto mode, not Basic. we only used Basic for portraits because that's the only way you can take them.
The sony's shot at 9:54
Yey congrats!
Pixel 6 pro 🥳🥳🥳🎈 my favorite soon pixel will be the king in everything ☺️
Amazing comparison, great video! Greetings from Venezuela 🇻🇪✌🏼
Glad you liked it!
What xperia can do ??? Go to Olle Nilson channel . can these 2 phones do that thing ??? Never.... Wonder y ur Xperia is not working like that 🤓
Pixel 6 is the best for me
I have enough of reviewers taking on Xperia phones and knowing NOTHING about HOW to use them. This is embarassing. It's not a fake instant photo phone!!!!!!!!
Pixel - Realistic
Pro-I - Manual Pro User
iPhone - Yellow
This is more of a review of the most basic of pro modes... Auto mode is a decent mode on the Xperia PRO-I if you actually edit the raw files... Also something to note is that again he is using Pro Auto mode... Which is okay but really to get the best results you need to treat it like an actual camera and not a phone... Program Auto would have been your best bet... And then chose your ev adjustment and you're good to go but also... Raw makes a big difference too... So basically the test was the equivalent of buying a M3/M4 and leaving it in eco mode and saying its not so good... A lot of these phone reviews are really just awkward as they for the most part point click... While the iPhone and pixel are intentionally designed to work that way... That is not really what the Xperia is for... I can tell you first hand that the iPhone is sometimes a little better in pretty low light handheld... But it's not due to the anything other than the iphones wider aperture allowing the iphone to shoot at lower iso... And maybe even a faster shutter speed so it needs less stabilization. With the Sony you can get a very similar image but you will need to play with noise reduction in post... But if you leave the Xperia in Auto particularly at night it will try and do a pretty long exposure and bump iso decently high... Generally, with the iso at night, I find I can usually bump down the iso one or two notches from autos recommendation unless I'm needing a really fast shutter speed... I find for me I can hand hold about 1/10th maybe 1/8th if I'm really stablehanded that day haha... With the Xperia it takes a little practice and it will get you the results you just have to know what the camera is going to do and decide what you need to get the shot you want.
Thanks for your comment! For all comparisons, we use the best modes available. Every phone camera can be played around with manually, and you can also manually make one of the phones worse on accident. This is more a comparison of the camera and the software!
@@versus_com Every phone doesn't have the same ability to push shadows and lower highlights in post like a Sony. It has a larger sensor so it retains more information in a photo in Raw mode than ANY other cell phone camera can. But you clearly don't know or understand photography. This is like comparing the gas mileage on a Prius vs a Maserati. I get your videos are for views and so you simplify it for the masses but come on man don't downplay the Sony software and I say this as a Nikon shooter for my photography.
Xperia pro i . coz i dnt like colour changing photography of American brands.
use pro camera mode in xperia
I don't think it's fair to compare the PRO-I without using manual controls, that's what it's supposed to be used after all, being pro is not about shooting in full auto mode
It's a smartphones comparison, mate. Being a pro is about shooting with DSLR or full-frame mirrorless cameras at least, not with smartphones.
@@victorrumyantsev3718 Okay you have a point, i thought that the title said ''Camera Comparison Test''
Wrong comparison
Xperia is best camera quality in the world
a brighter video at night doesnt make it better, its grainy as hell
8:56 Google's audio is best. This may have been the best comparison video on the Google Pixel 6 pro and the Apple iPhone 13 pro Max camera that I've seen on TH-cam.
Glad you liked it :)
Nice comparison. Love you bro
Thanks a ton :)
Honest comparison 🙂
Love from #Bangladesh ❤️❤️
Hey can u plz suggest me which phone is Better for vlogging bcz i want to start vlogging.
1. Google pixel
2. iPhone 13
3. Samsung s22
To be honest, they are all high quality phones and will be enough for your vlogging needs.
xperia has top teir post processing. imo beats out iphone everytime in results
Great comparison video! I'm curious how the Pro-I would have compared when using manual mode (which most people rarely use)...
Good point!
I like this dude. Proper production quality and pleasure to listen to, and a detailed camera comparison in different conditions. You sir don't have enough likes and subs.
I appreciate that so much! Thank you!
You clearly used either basic or auto mode for the Pro I because my photos and videos are A LOT BETTER
This Chanel will Grow it One Day plz remember me that day :)
We hope!
This comparison is per casual users perspective which Xperia pro is not made for.
Sony have Powerful display features and manual camera features u don't know to use Sony bro if u check manual full features u know what have in Sony
I own a pixel 4a, it's so good. I wonder how great pixel 6 would be..
Lol take a long exposure shots you'll see who's the boss.
Xperia has the best camera on any smartphone invented , the fact u have this large sensor is really a game changer , u should mention in ur video that to use Xperia at it best u should use the pro app , u basically have a dslr in ur pocket and when someone with no knowledge use a dslr u get same bad quality as the video u provided of the Xperia .
seeing another videos o youtube and how mind blowing their results' are , definitely proves that you should not compere this phone that way of u should have mentioned that with Xperia u get completely different results if u used it with pro app
the point is , Xperia is the best option for video and photographers , content creators lads how love to act or take a cinematic vid's and they are willing to spent time to learn a the manual controls to get amazing results , even for normal people taking a 3 days to learn how to use manual cntrols is not that hard .
Well we were trageting the average user not the pro user.... that is why we dont use the pro mode... in this case the sony, even though it has all the pro capability, does not perform.. we are getting what you are pointing out,... thinking about using a phone to shoot in pro mode is a wierd thing to do.. considering the price you pay especially for this phone... why dont you get a dslr for the same price with even better quality? just somehting to think about...
Only TH-camr who do not cheat with tests
You're too nice!
All i can say is this review is totally unfair for sony xperia .. this youtuber doesnt have knowledge about photography .. People who like to taking photos click and share will like this video but as a photographer, I disagree with this comparision
If you don't know how to set up the sony camera then don't compare it to others,when set up right,the Sony smokes it rivals in almost every category and it's not even close.
The iPhone camera is great, but when I remember the charging port , ios Difficulty synchronizing files, restricted programs, inability to flash memory only these reasons are enough, to difficulty breathing, nausea, headache, disgust, attacking and insulting Apple in a subconscious way
You missed out on the cost factor which makes for a good few points over the iPhone 13. As a photographer I had a hard time deciding between pixel and iPhone but I went for pixel and it's been superb to use. Not to mention, their firmware updates are going to make it even better. Use of third party apps for cameras is also a huge Plus point for Pixel.
Hi Atsen! We don't take the cost into consideration when comparing camera quality. Otherwise, it would be too random.
You don't know how to take a shot on XPERIA properly. Some of the youtubers are doing it in the proper manner and it's giving outstanding results.
Actually, we have a professional photographer. I'm sure he knows how to use a manual camera. The problem is, Jesson, that these comparisons are about phones and not professional cameras. Software is included in the phone, and it is responsible for adjusting settings. If we start playing around with the settings on the Xperia, then we have to start playing around with every single phone. If we do that, then what is the point of the software? Most people point and click with their devices, and that is what we're trying to cover. Also, we didn't use Basic mode, but used the Pro auto mode.
Great review! Thank you so much!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Pixel more universal phone with interesting features
The way you present your video is so artistic and creative keep doing bro 👍
Thank you so much 😀
excellent comparison...i would choose the iphone...just for being consistent...but...the price to performace ratio of google is mind blowing
Very nice comparison but i would love to se the huawei p50pro or the new oneplus 10pro
We ordered the Huawei, and it is on its way! The OnePlus 10 Pro is only in China at the moment.
I'm getting mad because this video is not bias towards Sony.
~ Flat earthers (TYPICAL SONY FAN BOIS)
Ok 🍏 fan boy
@nichderjeniche Sony is on the verge of collapse in the phone industry, absolute 0 revenue. I think they should just give up 🥱🫢
Sony Xperia is for pro's. Not for you I guess... 👍👍👍
XPERIA IS BEST ...BECAUSE IT IS LEGEND BECAUSE ITS SONYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
If you used auto mode on the Sony, then what is the point of the whole review? Lol you have to use pro mode in Sony, this review is childish honestly.. the title says , “PRO”
We actually used it in Pro mode. If you listen carefully to the part about the Portrait photos, we said that we had to use Basic for THAT specific mode because that is the only mode the phone allows. We used the Pro mode for all wide and ultrawide photos, and also used the Video Pro and Cinema Pro for shooting video.
Bro that's the name of the phone
agreed, looks like auto hdr is turned off too... though i prefer it off at times, it just turned different on this comparison as the other two uses auto hdr by default...
We didn't turn it off!
By means of pro, we literally mean taking advantage of the controls that the Photo Pro app gives to users that the iPhones and Pixels don't.
Right from the start, this isn't even something needed to be made because of the clear difference in target audience between Sony and Apple & Google.
What is the Xperia Pro-I meant for? It's essentially for those who already happen to own a mirrorless camera like the Sony Alphas and want to have a phone that could somehow resemble the imaging science of their proper digital cameras, and also can act as an external monitor for them. And it also explains why Sony doesn't sell million units of this, nor do they plan to, because it is a clearly niche market that they're targeting, so this is a truly inappropriate to compare it against mainstream flagships and give it a bad reputation for not being suited according to everyone's likings.
Interesting video sir
Stay safe stay healthy. Keep going
Hey man i enjoyed your video
Hope you have a nice day 😇
Thanks for the visit!
Try to shoot moving object with 20 frames per second and check your favorite Pixel and iPhone.
It's a pleasure to watch this vid. But if you guys added the Sam S21 ultra it became one level up.
We're waiting for the S22!
My Google Pixel 5 produced more desirable results with the camera over the S21 Ultra. The Ultra was pretty underwhelming.
XPERIA PRO camera 🥰 dslr.
can you made another comparison video but with editing that frames? I think that potential of sony and iphone will be incriased becouse of RAW formats on iphone and as i know Sony not using algoritms for better quality but you can more flexible control of the camera during shooting and then it is more convenient to edit
Instan vs manual vs instan 🤦🏻♂️
True, it makes no sense to use the Xperia Pro I in auto mode
Google as a company has software prowess as its core strength. My Pixel 3 with just one camera can still put most triple camera phones to shame. Note that the whole world is following the software road now and the tendency is to do away with the physical and use software only. On the other hand, some will argue that software can never achieve what hardware can. But in reality it actually needs to be a combination of both and we will achieve the best of both worlds.
thanks for this amazingly detail video & i think pixel is standing tall among others
Sony Xperia pro 1 is the best
sony для тех- у кого руки растут от куда надо..Ролик явно был заказан в пользу конкурентов против sony.
Can you compare Pixel 6 and iPhones pictures and videos on third party apps like tiktok, Instagram and Snapchat?
Interesting. I thought, in the first set of shots, the Xperia took photos of what was there, not what we think we would like to see.
Wish you would zoom in and talk more about what determines your conclusion. For example the night shots. You never discuss which has the most detail in the dark.
Sony > pixel > loser iphone,this I choose who was the best camera phone😐
BEFORE I watch Full video, I root for SONY!!! 💪
Pixel And iPhone Won!!! Hmm. It was destined!!!!
He never used it in pro mode but the video is about pro hahah
We actually used it in Pro mode. If you listen carefully to the part about the Portrait photos, we said that we had to use Basic for THAT specific mode because that is the only mode the phone allows. We used the Pro mode for all wide and ultrawide photos, and also used the Video Pro and Cinema Pro for shooting video.
Good video! 👍
Thanks! 👍
9:49 wow, my boy xperia killed it here! the processesing is almost like a point and shoot!
just it. lol
Yikes, congrats.
I think if use manual mode on photo pro they kill both phone
May I get his number?🔥
Pixel the best.
as a sony user who been through Nokia - Sony ericsson era
let just be honest sony is always hard selling their brand ...like...1.7k usd for a smartphone with not much unique features that a high end phone should have ( Except pro apps for camera / video )
some of you may defend sony on how good their camera is when using the pro apps...yeah can't deny it is good while in pro mode but for the same time and money that you can get a real camera you make a good shot too, im talking a A7iii here cost 1.9k USD
we all know this is A.I Computational tech generation, with the old method of making smartphone, and never move on to adapt tech outside of their expertise, they just stay where they are...
Sony may say their target market are those photographer, but again...most photographer would still bring along a camera
the sensor of smartphone would never beat the real camera due to size differences, just never..imagine smartphone would put in a larger sensor than 1inch, the phone will be large and bulky
the shot result of iphone and pixel here just show you how A.I computational photograph is going to blow out your mind how future of photography is. Of course, it still need a good sensor for the foundation, and A.I would just "fix" everything.
lol good one, that apple alert was funny as hell
:D
xperia pics were so much better I think people are getting color blind
Lens flare at nite on the pixel and iphone..none on xperia
The Xperias also have flaws but on the Pro-i the sensor and lens are clearly superior to both the iPhone and the Pixel 6; Xperia should be used in manual mode to get the best out of it and it was designed for that. Then no one noticed that the Google 6 has purple flare problems and we are at 2023, you can see it both in the photo and in the video. Hi everyone.
Great video!! ..... Would really like to see TH-camr camera comparisons with action photos (Sports, moving objects, etc.). Im always taking photos of my kids playing sports and only my pixel phones were coming out non-blurry and without using "burst shot" all the time (Samsung, you listening).
We will do some action videos soon!
Pretty impressive by the Pixel 6 Pro.
And that video stabilization is the icing on the cake if you want to play sports with your kids while recording them.
I have all the phones but iphone 13. I have the XR, anyways if your have the time and patience the Xperia is a beast. Thing is most people want a point and shoot which is why iphone or pixel don't have a pro mode natively. While I love my Xperia they really need to focus on that front facing camera. They also need to let 3rd party apps access the API as video calls or anything else outside the native camera app looks like trash. For that reason my sim stays either in my pixel 6 pro or Z fold 3. It's more in my Pixel 6 Pro because of the call screening feature and live translate. If you speak/study multiple languages the NPU on the Pixel is where it's at.
When a reviewer place a brand at the center you'll know who's the winner.
The one in the center got last place?
@@versus_com Because you don't know how to use it.
.In audio you have to change the setting on the sony,,because it has rear micro phone,,
. you should also include manual mode,,
I think you are just a basic reviewer and less known in photography and videography
Hi, Alfred! This was the manual (Pro) usage with its Auto mode. Not Basic mode. Basic was only used for selfies and portrait photos, because it doesn't let you take those photos in any other mode. The problem is, we are testing phone cameras and their softwares - not photographers. If we manually change settings for each phone for each photo, what is the point of the software?
Thanks 😊
I'm just waiting for this one.
Nice comparison as always, let's all remember that the Xperia Pro I costs twice as much as the pixel hahaha
Thanks for watching!
Sony = Cinematography. Pixel = Videography. iPhone = Best of both worlds due to ProRes and Cinematic Mode in which this video failed to mention. ProRes kick started the Indy film industry (RAW vs ProRes) so its fair to mention what makes it "Pro". Most users I've seen reviewing the iPhone 13 Pro seem to have no idea how to grade ProRes. You will most definitely deduct points going off ProRes (unedited) so its no wonder it gets a bad rep. I wonder how many are throwing a filter over ProRes instead of a LUT.
For the casual smartphone users that just want to automatically point and shoot the Pixel and iPhone is better than the Pro-i. However taken the time to adjust the manual camera controls on the Pro-i will get better photo results than the Pixel and iPhone.
Not even a top 5 camera phone yet they want almost 2k for it
BS. He just doesn't know how to use it.
I have sony xperia pro-i. Then i dont like battery drain fast and overheating when i use camera.
You are honest 😍😍😍
You do how to use the setting of Sony Xperia pro 1
If we were to manually adjust a phone, we would have to do this for every phone and it wouldn't make too much sense. We did use the Auto mode though, but the other phones unfortunately optimize their software a bit better.
