Your totally wrong giving the edge to the P20 Pro in the low light comparison of the dark alley . XZ2P has kept much more details in the scene though its a little darker. The P20 Pro is bright but all the details have been smoothed out, looks like paste

The specs on the XZ2 Premium are unmatched by any other phone regardless of whether we can tell the difference between QHD and 4K screen. Sony is really bringing it with their flagships except for some questionable design decisions. Also I think a more realistic lowlight test is just to turn on the flash for indoor scenes.

I think the XZ2 premium is superior!

If I thought sony was the best, I wouldve bought their phones but it is trash that isnt going to stack up well with the best. You bringing up camera quality without even knowing if it is better than the best out there. Lol... Samsung was the one that started this "take better pictures at low light" thing which is the reason other companies are trying to achieve the same results. They are following Samsung. Be thankful because if it wasnt for Samsung, you all would still be getting those terrible night time pictures. You Sony fans argued last yr for the premium and it was the lowest selling phone in the industry, and I wonder why. Sony fans can keep arguing for these phones but trust me, you all are the only ones that are doing it. It will continue getting left in the dust by Samsung, Google, and apple.

Still a lot of Sony phones here in Sweden. I suppose because the connection with Sony/Ericsson in the past. Sony phones still got sold on all phone carriers. Anyway nice to see Sony stepping up in cameras.

Sony explaned the placing of fingerprint sensor. Its places there so when you pick the phone up from your pocket, the fingers are there perfectly.

@Boomer.Roberts

6 жыл бұрын

And the camera being so low and centered is beneficial, since it means your fingers are unlikely to cover the lens accidentally. The only downside I see to the low camera/fingerprint sensor is that it doesn't leave much room for the battery to be as big as it could be, since it has to stay smushed below those components.

Tap the dark area of the photo and it will change the exposure to higher levels. If it ain't enough, it can still be raised higher to achieve the same level of brightness. The thing is that the XZ2 Premium chose to expose the whole scene in a balanced way, while the P20 Pro chose to expose it higher for the sake of making the image look brighter, which in turn makes people think it's better even when it's not.

@troy5568

The real challenge here is whichever can zoom in closer to the image and still retain a lot of detail. I challenge P20 Pro fans to do this without pixel bining (XZ2 Premium doesn't even use anything to take a picture except its camera hardware and typical software).

@refererererer

6 жыл бұрын

Sadly the samples that came out from many sites don't look promising. They are very noisy even at low ISOs. I hope Sony already fixed the software. I believe their camera can perform the best with the right software.

I have experience with older Sony Z5 premium, what I can say 4k screen on mobile is meaningless. I used to love Sony mobile phone as I went through the first Ultra Z, Z1 (sold), Z2 (sold) and then Z5 Premium. In all instances, the photos were disappointing. I am a big Sony Alpha camera and mobile fan but recently bought and used P20 Pro for traveling purposes. My experience with P20 Pro is not disappointing but not 100% satisfactory for several reasons: Pro: 1) EMUI is surprisingly very good (I have to bring this up as it increases the overall experience when launching camera app) 2) Monochrome sensor (Pro Mode) is so sharp even in low light (this is the best part of the camera) 3) Pro colour mode is great but not perfect (even work well without Night mode) 4) Night mode works great ONLY for landscape not portraiture or street photography 5) The bokeh mode is the best out there Con: 1) No video stabiliser but I always use gimbal anyway 2) No 3rd party camera app can fully utilize the 3 camera system so stuck with Huawei built in default app. I tried many apps, they either work with one or two of the camera by manually switching the camera selection. The image produced is worst than the default app 3) Only certain modes allow the use of 40 and 20 megapixel sensor, so the majority of the photos will be taken with the 10 megapixel sensor which is probably why P20 Pro loose out in the details in the test shown here. I hope the test was done using the correct mode when comparing with the Sony XZ2 Premium 4) I suspect the night mode is just a longer exposure mode (limited to JPEG 10 megapixel), I personally would go to Pro mode with the same 5 seconds exposure but produced raw 40 megapixel output, better result 5) Raw mode only available in Pro mode All in all, P20 Pro is the game changer. Many features are working great but I will keep Z5 Premium for video still despite the lens cover is scratched. If anyone considering which phone to choose, P20 Pro will soon be overthrown by the newer Vivo Nex S or the Oppo Find X. These phones though can't replace FF sensor :-) Peace

Sony is one of the favorite brand in Mexico, over Samsung. P20 doesn't use Pixel Binning, they just use HDR for night mode, that is way the image looks bright but plain and desaturated. The P20 is brighter but is just too soft, less noise but less detail, but the worst is that the color is destroyed!!! The color science in the XZ2P es outstanding.

Sony smartphones is still exist in Indonesia, I know several diehard fans of sony smartphones. But its true that it is losing to Chinese phone. In the past, there are several Japanese smartphones in Indonesian market, panasonic, kyocera, fujitsu, etc. But now only sony and sharp. Sony has a good smartphones, but its too expensive for Indonesian and the mid range device is underpowered. Sharp smartphones are underpowered and ugly as hell. I think the problem with Japanese product is they dont have the innovation they have back in the days. There are several innovation like 4K display or triluminos display, but all of that is too hard to be fathomed by general consumers. Visible "innovation" like 18:9 aspect ratio, small bezels, ugly notch are more likely to catch general consumers attention.

HUWAWEI isn't capable of photo adjustment. Because it's to light.it's overexposed. if you underexpose you can adjust brightness. So an over exposed image with to much light is you can't so you can think it's better but it's much worse. I see it a lot of times of reviews. That's is wrong. There for Sony is way better.

@refererererer

6 жыл бұрын

No it's not just about the exposure. They use artificial intelligence to boost brightness by adjusting the shadows, highlights, contrast, and brightness. It's the same as what you get on a photo editing software. You can take a dark image and brighten it cleanly using a software that can adjust brightness, contrast, highlight, and shadows. It's not similar to what a real high ISO camera delivers. The proof of this is the brightness difference in the video. XZ2 P is brighter with videos because the P20 Pro could no longer perform the special brightening process on video. If it tries doing that, it may burst into flames.

Yeah XZ2 Premium beat iPhone X and Huawei P20 Pro

BTW Sony Won because he has 2 cameras and the P20 Pro has 3 meaning that in the low light, it should do better the Sony but it doesn't and your wrong Sony became the new low light King. Lets say makes next year 3 cameras, what would that look like with the second gen of the AUBE processor??? The design is good but not as the loop surface design but I believe this design could become something in the next few years with them tweaking and making the curve of the glass gentler. The phone is good and quite good. I heard in China it will be in the range of $800 and in Japan less. The US will be $1000 but actually the other phones hit more than that number last year and this year they will be more, so please stop blaming Sony.

The sony looks like not a bad phone , however some questionable design , the finger print reader in the middle of the phone , you would think sony would have taken notice of samsungs last years finger print sensor location that sucked . the bubble shaped back that spins like a top when on the table or when trying to type on a desk . i actually prefer some bezels and the 16.9 aspect ratio , why did sony abandon last years xz premium design and just refine it a bit ?? No headphone jack ....... wtf sony ???

Kudos for being one of the only reviewers I've found who will tell people that 4K resolution on a 5"-6" screen is overkill.

If you are talking about the brightness only, Huawei did do a very good job; however, if you are talking about the image quality, I would say Sony won this battle. Those details kept in photos taken by Sony is far more than the Huawei did. But, to be frank, the XZ2P is way too bulky. Even though, I would buy one to enjoy.

I agree with you about the camera. It should make same with original placing.

6 sec nightmode on huawei is a great option, but not many have the patience for that, especially if the subject is not completely still. Sony did a very good job with these cameras, but as usual it won't see the sales numbers except for it's fanbase..... simply cuz it refuses to adopt the design language everyone expects.

Nice info. But I do hope u get to do some nice sharp photo for your vietnam trip and maybe show us some video quality and showing stabilization

It is good to see Sony back in the game when it comes to still images. I have had a Sony Xperia Z5, and oh boy, low-light shots where dissapointing. Sony is in the right direction now. Well done!

P20 Pro might've won in some cases, but XZ2 Premium is the most consistent. Even on the first low light shot, the XZ2 Premium didn't look horribly bad, the P20 Pro just did slightly better. The second one, P20 Pro was brighter but not much detail at all. Someone even argues about being able to see something, well, the same brightness can be achieved on the XZ2 Premium if its exposure is focused towards the dark parts of the scene. Only that it has no specific exposure focus so it has to expose the whole scene in a balanced way, which it did very well. The video, just not gonna speak anything anymore. But I'd even say that I prefer the iPhone X over the P20 Pro in video for at least having good stabilization. P20 Pro only if I want pure photography and nothing else. Otherwise, XZ2 Premium it is as an all-around camera phone. This is, we're still waiting for Mate 20 Pro, Xperia XZ3, Pixel 3 XL, Galaxy Note 9, LG V40, and iPhone XI

Wow that alleyway is something out of Bladerunner :) I think the XZ2 premium photos are nicer more pleasing to look at, nice contrast.

Was the night mode on the p20 pro used? The photos looked pretty bright so it might of been used, but I feel like some of the photos should have been brighter than they were. And please don't come and say it needs to be a fair test because if there is a feature like night mode it should be used. Software is starting to be more and more relevant in phone cameras and if some software is left out of a test then I would argue that the test is unfair. Sure you could argue that you don't want to wait 4 seconds for the shot and the extra processing time. I would say that if you want to take a nice low light shot it'll take some time to line up your shot and you wouldn't mind waiting ~10 seconds extra for a nicer shot.

XZ2P best camera 😍

Huawei phones use long shutter speed for night modes... but it leads to blown out images that may look bright but dont have much details in them

the Xperia simply destroyed the competition

hey i kinda liked the old look cause it was practical and simple and wasnt beautiful nor ugly plus some people still love the 16:9 ratio because it is more supported than an 18:9 with a freaking notch

No need for the bashing Sony intro!! And the low camera design looks awesome

XZ2 premium is good but the long beezels make it look alike the old Z & XZ series

i just bought xa2 and xa2ultra from BB for me n my wife, for CAMERA selfie n the back is superb, i swear picture is super clear.

P20 pro has AI features which enables you to get better shot in auto mode. On the other hand Sony camera doesn't have a good auto mode but when you rely on manual mode it can seriously beat P20 pro with ease

the photos and videos you shot by XZ 2 Premium were by manual camera or auto-cam? please

When you travel to vietnam try to video the stars at night around 10pm. Im wondering if 12800 iso can video the milkyway. Also tour us to the camera app of sony if there is manual photo and video mode. Thanks

I don't like your review, your bashing Sony too much, and unnecessary and not knowing major why's of why those things are there and calling them overkill. Ooh not excelling at anything! Nonsense, bezels? Are you eating bezelless?. And you can't say it's getting close, it's better than Huawei p20 pro

Yeah. He make a big mistake here. You can see. The video is brighter than the picture of the alley right? Meaning in video mode, 12800 is use. If only he using manual mode. And increase the iso, that photo of alley is going to be good for Sony. Sorry for bad english 😅

Actually your wrong because Sony has a lot and 4K isn't an overkill because it doesn't drain any battery besides it up-scales on certain apps. Sony has a lot in the competition but the thing is they don't market or publicise their phones and that's why it's losing. Sony is and innovator and till now it innovates while still losing and other phones do stupid unpractical things like notches and 18:9 displays when there is not content for 18:9. Sony created half what of the smartphone world has but no one appreciates and most of the people they don't know about because they're busy being shallow, superficial and going to other brands that doesn't have a thing. What did the other companies do??? Nothing, except the Chinese when they did the VIVO NEX and OPPO X but tell me what did Apple do since most of you see it the best??? I don't blame Sony for the price and we don't have to blame Sony for what they're doing but the only issue they have is marketing. In order to make money, you need to spend money.

You are right, my brother, unfortunately most consumers think superficially, they only see appearances. They have forgotten that Sony invented and introduced several technologies. Only companies have developed Sony technologies. Unfortunately, they are not thinking deeply and wisely.

Naime Shirou Thanks and I will :)

The Huawei p20 is brighter in that one shot but the details was shit compare to the Sony. You should look at details more than just which is brighter.

You should explain how you take's the photos or video Use automatic or manuals setting

Ketika Sony serius

I actually thought The Alley photo went to XZ2 , the P20 looks so blurred and almost water colored haha

XZ2 PREMIUM is better than IPHONE X and P20PRO than cons of XZ2 PREMIUM is still 1sec shutterspeed 😞😞😞 what are you doing SONY! Why do not Sony want to have their camera full potential!

Video is the most important thing, photos, well..turn on the flash! I have the Xperia xz premium, but Sony turned off the 4k on their display, but can only watch 4k in some movies. I will get this by December hopefully the price will go down. I want that 4k display!

For me, the Xperia wins, it has much more details

I love you man, cheers another brother from Hong Kong, I m thinking to get for review , Sony phones give me more views so I think Sony still have good fanbase

Jimmy a Geek thank you Jimmy!

Thank you for this short Review.

Sony definitely has more potential. Wider apertures and a gigantic extra B/W sensor with 1.55um pixel size is surely a strong foundation on which Sony needs to improve their software immediately. AUBE is clearly more video processing focused than still processing.

Good work SONY

Pixel binning, as a cheat, doesn't help with motion. And as a general rule, when I'm doing low light shots, there are things moving. Also, pixel binning (usually) doesn't help when shooting video. There's no processing substitute for greater light sensitivity. And XZ2P, with its monochrome low-light camera, beats all other smartphones on the market in that regard.

7:29 OMG iPhone's picture is literally black lol Btw awesome comparison, I do prefer P20 Pro with the modern design and that 3 camera setup :D

I hate your comment on Xperia phones. But it's a well-done comparison.

I like Xperia and Sony, but I share how you feel about them being just wiped away.

Hey man. Mess with your shutter speed and use manual mode. I put up photos on my channel of the standards xz premium and you can get far more out of the xz2 premium than you are. Same with the huaweii at night

Here is this dark allyway? Take a picture with a really good camera that is dark but has clear details with those light tower thing in the center. I want that wallpaper

Thank you for your honest opinions. This was a good video.

This phone is definitely the heaviest

As far as I’m aware Japan still is the king of technology since if you want to be a leading competitor in the home entertainment systems for example then you need to be based in Tokyo with the brains, resources and culture.

Please do full depth camera review for Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium... Thanks for your kindness...

Can u please do a selfie test in regular and low light how x2 premium compares with an iphone x and a samsung s9?

some software tweaks will improve the camera but still sony needs to change the design

'Only' 5.8 inch screen and those big bezels top & bottom - but great camera!

Oh, and so-so battery and lack of zoom?

I still don't get why they haven't gone bezeless. Also they make the camera units for a lot of different cell phone companies smartphones. I wonder if they are selling their top level stuff to competition too or if they are keeping that to themselves for the competitive advantage in the market. If they are then now they have to actually MARKET IT. Because nobody in the US knows about Sony smartphones claim to fame anymore since they are no longer the only ones with super slow mo Edit: Just heard the price at the end of the video, smh what are they thinking??? This would be a compelling offer at maybe $660-$799Max range

1, I never said 600 2. The price will drop by probably $200 or so dollars within 6 months of release whether through a straight up price drop or rebates/carrier based deals. If you can get a buy one get one free deal with a Galaxy s9+ or an Iphone X now there it wouldn't be too difficult to see the same sort of deals happening with a phone that won't even come close to the sales of a Samsung or Apple flagship. 3. They are releasing a flagship with very little marketing, an extremely outdated design and very few stand out features, they basically have super low light photography and a 4k LCD that the avg consumer can't even distinguish from FHD or WQHD+ without the contrast ratio of an OLED panel. Which is just going to make the battery life far worse with very little benifit 4. Frankly Sony does not have a strong enough brand in the smartphone market to be selling phones at $1000. They had weak sales at $799 last year and they are basically just releasing a spec bump with slightly tweaked hardware, They just started actually having functioning fingerprint scanners on their phones in the US. 5. Somehow they do still have some committed fans who are willing to spend 1k on the preorder but once the phone comes out and the reviews start coming out they are definitely going to have to target a much more aggressive price point. 6. The XZ1 premium has cut its price by about 30% and still sold poorly. You can get one for like $550 right now, the One Plus 6 is 90% the phone that the XZ2 Premium is for basically half the money not to mention Apple is about to announce 3 new iPhone's. TL;DR Sony isn't going to move many units at $1000. With the level of competition in the market currently and in the near future + their lack of any meaningful marketing, the only way Sony will be able to sell this phone to the avg consumer is by cutting the price pretty significantly probably about 3-4 months post launch and continuing to drop it even more throughout the year. XZ2 line is another weak year of offerings from Sony and the premium model isn't worth anywhere near $1000 dollars.

a 5.8inch 4k screen has far more drawbacks than benefits, you can barely tell the difference when its on, plus to get 4k they had to use an LCD panel which just by it nature uses more electricity than an OLED panel, regardless of whether it is on a 4k resolution or not. And then it also raises the price and weight of the phone for what?? it looks basically the same as WQHD+There was no reason for me to assume I had to explain to you that the 4k panel wasn't always on its common sense. Every high end phone above FHD allows you to adjust display resolution pretty much.

And I said you could get the same deal with iPhones and Galaxy's earlier before that if you actually read it. The thing is, do you really think that if the avg consumer is given the choice between a Galaxy S9+, iPhone X and Xperia XZ2 all for the same price that the consumer is going to go with the XZ2? fuck no.

So your saying that it does use more battery but that it doesn't affect the battery life? On a phone that hasn't come out, that you have never even seen in real life. And you seriously think the XZ2 is a better design than the IPHONE AND Galaxy Line? Wow... Alright. So just 2 questions then. 1. If the Xperia like is so fantastic why do reviewers rate it so poorly and why doesnt it sell well? And 2. So what happens when I'm right and reviews start coming out saying it's another mediocre at best phone,they cut the price and it sells poorly again? Will you admit you may have been wrong?

Hi, is this phone comparable in super low light video recording with 2023 flagships?
