Sony has been making incredible moves in the last couple of years with their smartphone. Each iteration of the Sony Xperia has been getting actual upgrades instead of slight improvements. If they could make it slightly cheaper, I might make the switch.

The expandable storage is a must have for a "pro" phone. Really don't understand how phones can call themselves pro without expandable storage (looking at you almost every major manufacturer) . This phone is truly "pro" love it.
No actual "pro" would use their phone for anything remotely professional though, so it's really just a naming gimmick.
@@Malc180s there are quite a lot of mobile photographers
its not a pro phone.
@@hailgod1 Yes it is. The software companions are more suitable for production solution.
Eh, it'd be nice but my phone has 1tb built in which works fine for me
4:20 I actually prefer the sound of the Sony here. It sounds a lot less noisy but it might be more base-heavy, so it just comes down to taste. Though I'd expect the sound will be fully customizable on the Xperia.
yes, sound depends on the person...
some people dont want to mess around with the EQ settings..
only reason why I keep buying sony headphones or in-ear buds.
if not for the damn price tag, i would buy this phone. and hey Headphone jack and SD card slot....
The Sony was better
True, the IPhone ships with a V equalizer while the Sony is flat. A little change in the equalizer would have made it similar
And sony has stereo front facing speakers
The Sony sounds way better to me, although of course this is in the video.
I really hope that more companies make more of those "classic" phones: small, good features like a headphone jack but still powerful enough to compete with other higher-end phones.
Samsung Note 9 is the last great complete „TOOLKIT” phone. What I trully wish , is that Samsung would release (when there will be a big breaktrough in phone computing science bringing the laptop specs to the phone without overheating) to build the ultimate phone that is around the Note 9 size but taller, a bit bulkier/Thicker for more battery and features, and have it be the ultimate tool, that would include the IR blaster and reader for programming, Radio reciever and transmitter, headphone jack with optical audio capability, side Case pins for extended battery case, normal (side or back) but also under screen finger print reader that can be disabled, 2x fully programmable buttons, and a pen with a better capacitor for 10 minutes of 10 clicks/second and 2 buttons that can be read up to 20 meters away (10 meters full signal) true Iris scanner and 24 MP front camera with 8k ultra wide capability, and the ability to use a crop recording with digital stabilizer and 90 degrees view for vlogging that is 4k and a more normal angle , rather then 160 degrees (8k) down to a more resonable 90 degrees (4k), also NO! under screen camera setup, but more like the note 9 form factor, but while also having a full 21/9 aspect ratio screen 4K CAPABLE, but that can go down to 1080p for the best battery life and performance, and having 2x front facing corner ambiental lights, that can be used for reading or for when you need wide ambient lighting, and on the back, an array light that has doual porpuse, wide field ring light (both ambiental close range lights should be able to change the temperature of the light from cold to warm light with ample steps between white and worm orange), with focused center light that can illuminate up to 50m for the 20x zoom lense, and the smaller ring light would be up to 5m for the ultra wide or 2x zoom. Also, it should have dual proper speakers for true mobile stereo, that also have ultrasonic capability, for pet training command use, or for emergency cases that makes an inaudible sound to humans, but the phone itself and rescue units with capable gear, can detect the sound to find the phone's location at least, and maybe also a GPS signal emitter. And call it (THE GALAXY TOOL NOTE 1) that maybe does not have the most powerful hardware, but it is the most versatile version for people that need a tool that is reliable in any temperature or scenario. (And this line of phones should have a new model each 3 years, and have them fully supported for 9, and security supported for 18 years) (Unless at least 50% of these options are in a phone, i will not buy an other one, at least not a samsung.). Sony has the potential of doing what Samsung does not anymore, Innovate. If Sony could find a way, through an UAG case partnership and Wacom pair-up, to have a secure side case pen that works at least as good as the note 9 pen, then it would out-sale Samsung just from the utilitary phone users that prefer the note 9 , and if they include a good pair up with raw HDR pictures and raw editing power, that is seemless and compatible to their amazing mirrorless cameras trough a multi-load and multi access points WI-FI system, then they will also sell the echosystem to photographers/vloggers/filmmakers, and also drive sales to their mirrorless cameras, because even if you have a capable day-day camera on the phone, you can't beat the raw performance of a big sensor with big lense, for the extra special occasions, or for professional users. Maybe even a much better drone that can use mirrorless cameras with an automatic optical zoom lens that can beat out all the integrated camera drones, through the sony echosystem wi-fi setup (bringing joy to the FPV drone users , to be able to do similar stuff, while also being able to gather amazing video and pictures.)
@@NarinjasBro legit wrote an entire essay on phone features he wants
It’s probably possible…for the low low price of 1 million dollars per unit
really glad to see that Sony is keeping the headphone jack and the expandable memory in the Xperia line. I'd enjoy seeing a full review of this phone once it's fully released.
I LOVE what Sony's doing with their phones. In my opinion, they are now the only company which is trying to make something unique and user-friendly. They take advantage of their experience in the camera industry and I think it's great. And hey, they're on the Bring Back The Headphone Jack team! Go Sony! I only wish those phones were actually affordable, but what can you do, right?
Mostly user friendly, they still need to fix their naming schemes
@@alexbridenbaker9261 other than that its solid
well they do make other phones in their lineup. this is their absolute flagship so the price kinda makes sense
This is unique??? A camera app with a few extra features which any phone can have using the play store? Wtf 😂😂😂😂 you want unique? Get a folding phone. Not this abomination
@@propersod2390 Folding phone that has a smaller battery, no headphone jack nor microSD?
Can I just say, everyone I've seen on this channel has been so likeable?? You have a great crew of people here !
Yes you can.
They're called "canadians"
Don't know how things are behind the scenes. Anyone who's worked in a restaurant (or any service industry) knows how the sausage is made - and it isn't always pretty. LTT seems like a nice place to work but I'm sure there's the standard type of conflicts.
@@yuricorrea2491 That can't be right. I don't see any maple syrup or hockey!
This is by far the smoothest Android video footage I've ever seen. So many other cameras on Android phones have this stutter, almost like write catch-up, that makes the video look choppy.
This phone, on the other hand, is consistently smooth and free of choppiness.
Fantastic!
Selfie video recording quality is amazing using this setup, pretty nice. Always glad to see Brandon's SC, keep them coming!
As a Samsung Galaxy S10 user, I'm happy to see that there's *finally* a solid successor. I know that the Xperia 1 III exists, but I was stretching my three-year old a bit longer. If the S10 dies I will definitely hand over my money to Sony instead of Samsung. The latter really dropped the ball for me with their technical design decisions. A high-end Android phone requires expandable storage and a headphone jack, otherwise, you might as well get an iPhone...
The wait may be worth it. The Xperia 1 III's screen had worse brightness than the second generation and was hard to see outdoors. Supposedly they fixed that with this new one.
I don't know if your three year old appreciates being stretched
Agree with you, I've had an S10 before I moved to the S20 (which I drowned) then the S21. The S10 is still in my opinion, Samsung's absolute best phone with basically no compromises.
Im ok if it's not have audio jack, but they give a great dac instead
@@spritgmezer301 Wha? How're you going to use a DAC without a jack?
I'd love to see a roundup of the top phones from Google, Apple, Samsung, Sony, Etc. Especially comparing the camera experience. Pretty sure Brandon would make a very informative video comparing the cameras on them
There are tons of channels that do good comparisons. It's not really LTTs area. Honestly, when LTT has done broad comparisons, I've found them to be not that great. Their headphone guides, as an example. I think they're expanding on this aspect with Labs, trying to compete more on the level of an Rtings. Still a ways off, though.
These already exist, not on LTT but on other channels. And let me just tell you this: sony gets destroyed by all of them 😂 did you know that these $1000+ sony phones don't have a night mode yet?
@@propersod2390 Sony phones traditionally do not have good auto. Their AI features are lacking. The one thing they do have is some of the best camera controls, and the ability to create an image far better than any auto mode. They are great pro cameras, but poor point and shoots. Most camera comparisons just do point and shoot, and not taking time getting the perfect shot. For the normie user, get another phone. If you're a camera prosumer, you get a Sony.
I switched from a Pixel 3 to a S10e and I am absolutely appalled by the camera quality. I can't fathom how people put Samsung and Google in the same league. I am curious about Sony vs Google though.
Basically Google and Samsung are the best on photo (Google has better HDR, Samsung has better portrait if I'm not misremembering) and Apple the best on video
The problem is that Sony doesn't properly promote their stuff, whether it's phones, TVs, E-readers or tablets. It's one big reason VAIO had plummeting sales, so they had to sell off that division. I am sure that this Xperia 1 IV would do pretty well in the US, but it's not even available on any of the major carriers. Heck, most people in North America don't even know Sony makes phones, and that's a population of 500 million.
its a shame cause Sony still has an okay marketshare in many European countries.
Awesome presentation.i really loved the way he showed us opinions of other staff members as well.keep it up 👍
I've always loved Sony phones, I like how they decided to stay with a more classic style throughout the years. I prefer the bezels instead of a hole in my screen, the headphone jack is extremely useful and of course, the expandable storage/dual sim capabilities.
I'm currently using the 5ii, I would love a full review of the 1IV but it would be nice to also review the others, the 5iv and the 10iv
I'm super interested in the 10 IV as well. I feel like it's the only "compact" phone with good specs at the moment.
Aye! I got the 5ii too!
5 II here as well! Not gonna upgrade for a few years but when I do, I'm probably gonna buy another Xperia phone. Btw did they use the same processor for 1 III and 1 IV?
If they make that phone with 90% the features, tone the screen down to 1440p, and just bring that price down a bit I might actually make the jump to Sony. Absolutely gorgeous design
Wtf, you 'PREFER' bezels??? What is wrong with you
Truly pro features for a pro pricetag - fair enough. Still would like to see a review, especially considering that it would finally shine some more light on a brand that many people are unaware of when it comes to selecting phones.
Literally all of these camera app features are available in camera apps on the play store 😂 but sure it's worth the price
@@propersod2390 I'd like to see "an app" that adds optical zoom to your camera and an aux output at the bottom of your device.
Yeah, pretty tiring to see reviewers complain about phones not having certain features but also not reviewing the phones that do have those features
This is how LG stopped doing phones
@@taku1101 🤣🤣🤣 very very true
It's a nice price tag that lacks enough OS update support.
I have a 1 ii, and it's still going strong enough that I'm not really in the market for a new phone again yet, but it's good to see that Sony is still making good phones.
This is one of the few phones that can justify their immense pricing. Definitely wanna see a full review from you guys.
Apple: " just pay us an extra $600 for the Apple logo"
Apart from the price, that's one hell of a consumer flagship. Now I'm really curious to see what they do with the Xperia 5 IV. 1080p 120hz, smaller less narrow form factor, same battery size, could be a very interesting phone indeed.
Yeah, i'm still waiting for xperia 5 iv the 1 lineup is kinda overkill for myself
@@telekgodhog4124 If the 5 would have wireless charging it would be pretty much perfect. But a phone wwith a 1k pricetag and no wireless charging (and Sonys bad software support) is sadly a nogo for me these days, even if the other hardware is really great.
@@IschChef What do you mean? It has wireless charging and I really liked Sony's software on their phones, I had Z3 compact and a XZ1 compact.
4:23 Personally I think you guys are a bit crazy on the Audio, the iPhone certainly has more "contrast" between the lows and highs but its lacking a more well rounded sound and actually ends up sounding a bit "tinny" compared to the more full sound out of the Xperia.
I agree, the iPhone's bass is way too bloated also
ikr? The Sony sounded miles better. Almost sounded like comparing a tablet with a phone
Same here, the iphone sounded so metallic it almost hurt.
Completely agree
It definitely sounds better in the video but we can't know what it actually sounded like. I would still pick the Xperia over the iPhone any day because it has dual stereo speakers. Trash stereo speakers are better than good single speaker imo
The Xperia stereo speakers can get really loud when you turn on Dolby Atmos. Big difference in dynamic range and volume
Good point. But I think he doesn't know that.
Definitely want a review of this! I'm still using my LG V40 I've had since launch and this looks like a phone that'll finally be a worthwhile upgrade.
Considering early software this has potential. I'd like to see a follow up on this phone so yeah, a "review" is in order. But maybe after all software, bugs and tweaks are properly adjusted.
But that price though, wow. How is it so expensive with only a couple of upgrades than last gen? It's a very hard pill to swallow.
+1 for a review
To answer your question, you should try to search for the price of "HDR 10-bit 4k on-camera monitor". You can use Xperia 1 phone as an external on field display for your main camera with cellular connection. You can also use Xperia phone to control Sony camera. This phone is a tool for professional and camera enthusiast, hence the price tag.
Well all 4 cameras have new sensors, and the new optical zoom lens from Zeiss isn't going to be cheap either, add inflation and the slightly larger battery, new Processor + the fact that Sony isn't going to sell many of these because most people default to Apple, Samsung, Huawei and Xiaomi, and the price isn't to hard to explain.
Now if it is worth that price is a different question, but in my opinion, it can be, if your phone is only a couple of years old, it probably isn't, but if you have to buy a new one, and want the features, why not?
@@DraconicA5 you can't even see the 4k in such a small screen though
@@ddc171 If you bring it up close enough you can, but honestly I think 1440p would've been absolutely fine. The 4k Screen is kinda just a waste of money, assuming it drives up the cost to a comparable 1440p screen
The headphone jack and general design really interested me since last years, but $2291.67 AUD is ridiculous.
Also AUD sellers likely to tack on another $100-200
WOW! That price tag are Crazy... Maybe consider another brand? Sony Camera is great, but Smartphone... 😅
Do you mind sharing why it cost so high in your country?
Its USD $1400 which is fair bit pricy.
But thankfully Sony have a flagship lite with the cheaper 5 series.
@@ultimatlegend It will be the GST as the USA and Canada don't include tax on the price tag.
Love it love it love it. Got an Xperia 1 IV arriving Monday. As far as vlogging goes, I have some great advice for y'all if you're interested. Because I like you guys. Please stop talking to the monitor. Whenever you focus on the monitor you disassociate yourself with the viewer and look as though you are trying to avoid eye contact. Frame yourself in the monitor and then talk to the lens. This one little change will make your videos much more engaging with the viewer.
Thank you and keep up the great work.
Pass this advice around and together we can repair this hole in the vloggesphere!
Would love to see the full review of a final unit. Definitely a "pro" quality smartphone and it deserves more attention, even though it's not for everyone.
Definitely do a review. This kind of tech needs encouraging. Good job Sony for keeping it real and not buckling to trends.
I'd like the review. Probably to people without Xperias, 1 vs 5 vs 10 vs Pro-I (or the next Pro) makes a difference.
The next pro? 🤤. This camera look like the best phone camera. Can't wait for the pro going to be
Boo picture gang
@4:48 the iphone has a stonger bass line in it's audio. @7:03 Considfering the camera sensors they have made in the last years not just for Sony, but also every Nikon gear, they are the current beast at not only face and tracking, but eye af as well. @9:56 Very practical and ergonomic set up, very awesome. Post procesing should be amazing. @11:14 Impressive 1st look, hope you can start blogging now. Thank you.
Awesome video, I like a round up of a couple of phones in that price range as cameras/vlog setups I know LTT has done one before.
Ahhh yes we upload at 3:05 am est. Prime time
Morning time for eu
Its 12.35 pm in india. Its really prime time
This looks really good for people who want a mobile vlogging/camera setup in an all in one device. Although personally I don't really want my phone and my camera to share the same battery life.
Currently I'm using the Xperia 1 III. A review for the 1 IV would be nice to watch. As expensive as Sony phones are, they are pretty neat. So I'm curious about what improvements have been made for the 1 IV. Great first impressions btw. I'm hearing good things about it so far.
This one might be the one, man. I may finally have found a successor for my Note 9. I'm gonna miss my S Pen, but this thing's still got a headphone jack, a microSD port, the design is exactly for me, and there's no curved display. I really think it might be time.
Exact same situation here. It'll be weird leaving behind my baby, the Note 9, but this looks good. Depends on final pricing in my region.
I got the Mark 3 as a Note 9 replacement and wish I'd waited. Leaving Samsung was hard but necessary.
Cudos to you my man, I held onto my s9+ until last year and got the 21 ultra. If it had the expandable storage and 120hz 4k video, this would have been the best phone in the market.
also been holding on to note 9, aux critical for me. can't wait for this to launch
Always love a ShortCircuit with Brandon! I would definitely like a full review of this phone in the context of it being for professionals, and whether or not it could replace the need for a full fledged camera?
Stabilisation in the Vlog part looks quite nice.
Haven't used smartphones (specially current flagships) or up to date action cams for filming but the Stabilisation has improved so much in the last years from my feel.
VERY INTERESTING!!!!
Looking foward for the full review.
id love to have some educational video about the photo (and video) app of the phone. i bought a 5 III, but im a noob when it comes to photography. i love it how you talk about photography, its still entertaining, even for me. good job Brandon and LMG
Really excited to see what they'll do with the 5 IV. This phone with a 1080p screen, better battery and a more compact foot print sounds amazing.
I have the 5ii at the moment and may update later on in the year, will see what happens. The cost of the Sony phones tend to be very high though!
@@Caloooomi Also have the 5ii at the moment and I'm definitely not upgrading yet. Does everything I need with 2 day battery life still.
@@Caloooomi That's practically just a talking point with no actual facts in it.
High price compared to what? Compared to what you get?
You will get a lot of quality details and functionality that are rarely mentioned in these scratch-the-surface youtube reviews, and not other brands get the constant "oh so pricey!" for more expensive flagship phones. Why is that exactly?
@@fretboardrunner same here, it's a great phone!
@@goemboeck it's high compared to the average amount of money people spend on phones, everyone isn't Mr Scrooge
I really think LTT should have a photography channel by now, focusing on TH-cam vlogging and so on. You've got the talent in expertise and presenters. I definitely think a full review of this would be interesting because it's offering something that others manufacturers aren't. I'd probably go for the Sony ZV-1 or the Osmo Pocket 2 if I were upgraded to a device specifically for vlogging.
I wouldn't upgrade my phone to this just to vlog to get started out but I found using a DJI Gimbal worked very well... except that it takes your phone out of action and is a pain to set up (I only used v 2 & 3). The pocket appeals because it's dedicated and easy to pull from a shirt pocket and immediately capture. My use case would be vlogging at conferences and events, so being able to stop and start quickly would be a huge benefit (but I'm not currently willing to invest the cash since it wouldn't generate income).
That sounds dope af. I'm all for it
Yes. I really want a review! Also, would be great if you could focus on the audio capabilities and the music listening experience for the audio guys. Would be just great.
This looks sick! Would totally want to see a full review. I wonder if the magnetic screen can be paired with other Sony cameras? And when you control zoom from the remote, does it actually switch to different cameras or is is purely digital zoom?
I would love to see a review once this is launched 🙌🙌
Everyone else: "We have improved the bokeh algorithm in our latest phone"
Sony: "Hold my beer!" *Slaps a periscope telephoto lens into their phone*
Seriously would love more of a roundup of Sony's phones.
I would love a full-suite review of the phone, and may i suggest you make a video on "current year best lightweight vlogging setup"?
4:20 no, I definitely thought the Sony sounded much better. Hard to tell from a video, like you said, but it definitely sounded better through the video at least.
Interesting choice of 85-125 tele. I quite enjoy the 70-105 tele on my 1 III to be honest. I use nearly exclusively 50mm on actual cameras so the 70 was the one I had to settle with, and 105 is a good tele range, but now they're pushing the tele to *really* be tele. I just wish they could've given the middle ranges some love.
Wait for the Pro-I II probably
loved the background music. it gave a good ambience to the vid
Id love to see a review as well.
Great first impression. Thank you very much
Love the fact that it has a headphone jack! Please review once you get a retail model.
I liked Sony´s speaker better, the extra mids over the iPhone bring more clearity and since 80-90% of music is happening in the mids anyway, yeah my pick is Sony.
same
don’t take my opinion seriously though as both of them are heard from an iphone speaker
I'm always glad to see you cover a Sony phone
I'm using a Sony now, and will continue to use one in the future
Would love to see a tier list of cameras. I want a good camera with clean output, but I don't want to spend a arm and a leg for something that might not be as good as something else. I remember seeing a camera you said was a best in it's price but It was not for sale.
Also what's the difference in the lens standards and witch one should I go with. Overall you should make a video on basics of good cameras and a list of cameras you have already reviewed.
I'd love to see a full review, I am up for a new phone and a camera with a good zoom is a focus for me. But I need to know there are no trade offs (certainly at this price point)
Love the screen without a notch or a punch hole.
This phone seems really cool, & the vlogging setup is also neat. I'd love to see a more in depth, long term review. Daily driving + using for camera purposes
Have the 1 III and my only complain would be the battery but i knew it had that problem good to see they are fixing that and keep the headphone jack y love it and also no holes in the screen, two of my main reasons to choose it
I"ve always been a fan of these Sony phones. And every year it looks like they're getting better and better.
The price though
The 5 IV may do the same thing while costing less and having a smaller body, which I'm a huge fan of
"The price though".
So your wallet does not have content to buy ANY of the flagship phones from other brands either. People always single out Sony's price tag, it's pathetic and hardly based on reality.
@@goemboeck What's pathetic is you going to everyone to complain about them complaining about the price. I've had SONY for years, ever since they were Sony Ericsson and they had a Walkman series. I even had their first Xperia, and the Arc S. But I don't think they are worth the price to the regular user.
@@goemboeck So name a well-known flagship phone that STARTs at 1600$
@@user-uc5xo7yu7n Huh, "starts"? You're moving the goal posts here, why?
Also not $1600 according to what I read. It will cost the same as iPhone 13 Pro Max as a 256Gb version. And $100 less than S22 Ultra.
@@Dranzell Debatable if any of the flagship phones are worth the price for a regular user. iPhone 14 Pro Max, S22 Ultra. They worth the price to you better? What makes them more bang-for-the-buck?
Sure there could be a stripped-down budget version of the 1iv/Pro/Pro-I but Sony decided to keep their selection more clean.
I have some thousands worth of Sony camera equipment. To me the phone's price is not a deal-breaker because I know the brand's build quality and I like the Xperia software and the apps. I would say I'm more Sony's target group.
Gotta love waking up to an LTT vid from any of the *counts on fingers* 6? 7? Channels
A full review of a production model would be very welcome, as you'd want to be sure about the overheating issue. Ideally you'd combine it with a review of the midrange 10 iv as well.
Please can we get a full review of one of these Sony phones! They're so incredibly underrated for what they deliver. Especially their lower 5 and 10 ranges deliver impressive results for mid tier prices
Agree 💯
Definitely want a review, been wanting a phone from these series for a couple of years, was just waiting for them to improve the battery a bit
What was wrong with the battery?
@@Ocastia nothing major, just not as robust as I would like for a phone that costs so much, just needs to tick all the boxes
@@Ocastia the previous version didnt have a good battery life cuz the 4K screen was draining it like crazy and there wasnt a setting to lower the resolution
I'd love a full review of this
Would love a full camera review. But also a video for the average joe on some of the advanced techniques to take common types of photos using this phones pro app.
The mic from the camera is legit about as good as the professional mics you used in the studio. Especially inside. Definitely the best mics i've ever heard from a phone before.
Looks great! possibly a bit smeary when you pan quickly in vlog mode though? was that just me?
I'm hoping some of these features filter down to another compact device though, still rockin the XZ2 Compact over here!
I think the smearing your seeing is just frame judder, since these videos are exported at a lower frame rate than I think what they set for the camera (I think LMG exports vids at either 30 or 24fps)
I could be wrong though
Yea there's motion blur on his face when he pans
Probably there wont be any premium compact phone from sony again
@@dedoyxp D':
@@dedoyxp The Xperia 5 series is what's replaced the Compact series
Similar, if not identical specs in a smaller form factor
I love that these phones are finally getting some recognition. I've been using these for s few years now, and they're amazing phones.
Same here. Everyone has been sleeping on Sony phones. They are long overdue wider recognition.
that setup with accessories indeed pretty solid, a magnetic battery would be a cool addition
Very good first impression video.
One question I have is whether it has one speaker or two, and whether the speaker(s) is/are front facing or sideways facing.
Yeah, the iPhone sounds tinny in comparison. The Sony has more lower midrange preserved (they're phone speakers...so they both suck for bass), I had to get on my PC to double check the sound, but the iPhone is definitely behind (they both seem behind Samsung for speakers though).
Yes,iPhone is loud and tinny(Highs are sibilant? )while Sony is more warm and softer like their headphone
I wonder if they'll bring out a monitor of that size for the mirrorless cameras. Would be sick for the ones that don't have a flip out screen.
It can act as a monitor for Sony cameras.
Use the phone with monitor+ app
Full review, ploz. I was seriously close to getting a Xperia 1 III, but this might just be good enough to get me to go for it.
What if you did a review round up of all of the phones compared to each other?
Or maybe a look at some low end cameras for beginner photographers?
I clicked on this and the I got a Mrwhostheboss notification about the same phone
Thanks for watching! But, it doesn't mean you can't watch his video after.
Watched this during the Xperia livestream, I enjoyed the concise nature of this video.
Sony must be the *MASTER* setting up uploads during prime time.
My next phone! Would love to see a full review. I had a few Sony phones in the past, along with HTC, Samsung, Huawei and not to forget several Nokias. IU really like the Huawei 50 Pro, but unsure as to viability.
I love these Xeperia Phones, I currently have a 1 II.
The aspect ratio much better to use long term imo, the dedicated camera button has let me get shots I easily would have missed without it.
I mainly got it for the Headphone Jack, but the two front facing speakers are great for when you aren't using headphones too.
Biggest thing I miss coming from my Moto Z though is the gesture controls, shaking the phone for the flashlight was so useful, I still try to do it on my Sony one too.
Yes, do a review. Sony deserves more love for what they are doing with their phones
My favorite feature is being a premium phone with an SD slot
Ok that little monitor attachment is the cutest thing I've seen in a while
Would be awesome to see the main OLED power-off when using the VLOG setup to improve all those battery minutes. Solid replacement if there was some drop protection.
Voting a yes for the review!
That's an excellent first impression! That's definitely a great phone, although, at that price, I would just get it use. I would love to see a full review of it.
Looks like a solid bit of gear, I am looking forward to some real-world hands on with this as well once it is out
I think it is awesome, and thanks for great video and nice presenter)
Have you tested the display as Display Output for PS5?
They did so much right with this phone. I just hope we will see the 5-line adopt a lot from it with a much more reasonable price.
Finally, Sony needs to work on their update policy. Samsung doing 4 years OS and 5 security patches now is a good step in the right direction, but Apple is still better. Sony is still creeping on an official 2year update guarantee total, which is less or the same as a lot of budget options have from Xiaomi, Oppo or the like.
Definitely want more content of this
Excited to get my hands on it 💪
Ohh havnt been excited about a sony phone for a long time now.
Please make sure you don't block the speaker with the other device in the future when testing audio
Xperia have front facing speakers, so they were blocking the iPhone with the Xperia?
It'd be interesting to have the different expenses of LMG integrated into product reviews. I know this is an unboxing style channel, but having Brandon review cameras, Sarah review design, etc. would be really cool (specifically, segmentation by function vice product category as a panel). When Brandon said "I'm not an expert on sound" I immediately thought of labs and someone who was an expert on sound stage could do quick expert initial impressions like Brandon does for photos/videos. This plays into the positive feedback when Jonathan or Linus jump on the short circuit set, just more planned.
Honestly that footage looks fantastic. As long as you're lit well, the codec and DR of the camera are very very usable
I'll honestly say as someone with the 1 iii the 120 fps is more of a difference than the 4k, but watching 4k content on this is truly beautiful 🔥
I see Brandon, I stop everything I'm doing to watch him saying whatever the fuck he wants about cameras. Really like the guy.
My brother and I have been using a 1 III for six months now, been an awesome phone. Good to see there's an upgrade if we want it, as I had no upgrade from my Pixel 3a
Definitely give me an in depth review on this phone, please! This looks so interesting.
Gotta love Sony’s naming scheme
They're lovably bad, I love it. Their flagship headphones went from MDR-1000x to WH-1000XM2, which is a completely different product line from the WH-H900N.
I would like a review, the phone is exactly what i want from a phone. Its just a different approach in the same old phone industry
It's kind of sad that building the best phone you can is considered a different approach.
I would love a Brandon review on this phone. I want to pick up vlogging and I want to see how this would perform in overall price.
I really want to see a full review of this one!
