For a more depth look at the Xperia 1VI. Here's a link to my review : kzread.info/dash/bejne/nKmEzptvZs-2epM.html

Most phone nowadays trying to push brightness until it quite unnatural. I love that sony doesn't do that.

This is indeed very true. But it also reflects the expectation of regular users over how a phone camera should perform. For me personally as an amateur photographer, I couldn't admire enough how natural and realistic Sony phones have given.

90% of photos i liked was the Auto mode !

Why in many reviews they mention this is not for point and shoot, and then auto photos seem very good?

Was roaming around in the same area with a slightly older gen ‘mystery phone’ lately. It’s a pity we’ve missed. Nice shots showing the great leap Sony did. Hope they get their deserved appreciation from reviewers and sales. Liked mostly the Sony “auto” or Mystery pics. Mystery’s yellow tint sometimes is simply wrong but they are often great at challenging daylight situations. Sony’s auto is remarkably good now in similar conditions. Also, great compact documentary format.

I didn't always like the sony Xperia VI but for most of them it was my favourite in auto mode. Thanks for sharing this 🙏. I'm certainly considering buying it

BTW, just wanted to mention this, I think Android OEM should start focusing on video quality starting next year to the point that we can't even tell it came from a smartphone phone, that would be awesome

14mins in.....the photos on the experia is starting to look abit off....the mystery phone seem to do abit well with details....17 mins....the bridge looks great on the experia...perfect

Great video, appreciate your time and effort getting up so early! I have not had an Xperia since the mark 2, I just needed a bit software enhancement as I have DSLRs, I bought the Huawei P60 pro, but this does look like a massive step in the right direction for Sony 👍

Thanks for the great video, im impressed by the Sony. Excited for Bokeh mode pictures and macro shots as well as more zoom shots compared to other flagships.

I thought iPhone as the mystery phone initially. Seems I was right. Great video. Just got to wait a few weeks to get mine now!

Nice video! I appreciate your work, it's the same thing every year when Sony launch their flagship phone, they have the most natural images, like their tv's, normally. Proud to be Sony fan.

i choose all the auto mode photos except the one in 11:35 . great job sony

I picked the Xperia Auto most of the time, with a couple of times for the mystery phone and a couple of times for the pro.

No oversharpening love it!

Very interesting video thanks ! 90% I chose Xperia Automode and 10% your Pro Mode and I’m really surprised that the mystery phone was an iPhone 15 pro max

Great review. I know this off the camera topic. But have you been able to test the 3.5m audio jack how is the sound quality ? Is it great ?

You can tell the Sony phone as the 2 pictures have the same width. The mystery phone is wider so 2 are similar width and one is wider

Why did Sony not upgrade their sensors. They are quite old. Exmor T is superseeded by LYT T sensors that are better than the 888. Not even talking about the abysmal sensor size and age for the tele and ultrawide.

100% ..... I didn't go for the 1 V as I was sure they'd upgrade the sensors in the 1 VI (being 2024), but they've just plodded along with the same old. No more Xperia for me!!!

good video

Great video. Thanks. But I still can't decide which phone is the best for shooting videos... Photos are secondary

Great Review, I like seeing the Xperia in the hands of a professional. This is what the Xperia is all about. I may end up getting the Mk6 but my Mk5 is still very good. Im most curious to see how the 6 runs Warzone Mobile with that VRR screen. I really hope Sony releases an Xperia Stream designed for the Mk6. I just ordered one for my Mk5 and i think that Snapdragon 8 gen 3 could be a Beast of a chipset for mobile gaming. If you can run some tests of the Mk6 at 120fps on Warzone, that would get a TON of views. We would love to see what Activisions collaboration with xperia is all about.

The colour science of the iPhone caught my attention in the beginning which made me lean towards it. But what really gave it away was when you checked the time on your Apple Watch. From then I knew I was right

have there been updates to the phone since you shot this? If so, has it made any difference?

Thanks 🙏 It always makes it feel worth the effort when I get comments like this

11:35 The left one is the most natural looking and it's got some good HDR innit, so I'll take that

Ok. It after the first comparison shots, it was easy to learn which one is the mystery device because every photo was much brighter.

And there's me thinking the mystery phone was a Samsung s24! Have sony upgraded the front facing camera on the Xperia VI?

I said about Xperia V that it is almost there because of the inconsistent wide and tele sensors, the average brightness and the support.The Xperia VI looks like a feature/future packed device (good cameras, the only full music/media top device, better UI, etc.) with an average display for the price.2k or variable was the way to go.The only believe that I have without viable arguments is that maybe this fall we will have a PRO device that will be very hard to get because from what it looks it will surpass the 1400-1500 price range.

I'd be curious about a comparison between Xperia VI vs VIVO X100 Ultra with both having Zeiss T* coating.

@s7654r

29 күн бұрын

Vivo 100 Ultra would be better because of better zoom sensors. Xperia 1 vi is still using the same tiny 1/3.5 inch sensor from 6 years generation ago. Even though it can now zoom to 170mm, the pictures are blur and usable. Only the Xperia 1 vi 24mm main camera is good

Remember it is early software so cameras will improve

Software cannot increase the "physical" res of those outdated 12mp sensors I'm afraid :-(

My primary judging criteria was details and sharpness. Other things can be managed through a quick edit. And the mystery phone was the best most of the time.

Great video. Loved the "mystery " addition. I'm a bit disappointed with the video quality though..

Super video and really appreciate the time and effort you made here. It's definitely something you should do again 👏👏👍 For me, however, as a Sony 1V, I felt Sony went sideways on the camera and downgraded on the phone in all aspects. Losing the 4K display was a bad choice along with the aspect ratio of the size of the phone and then not reducing the price to reflect these downgrades. But that I guess is another story in itself. As per the photos, they were some I felt were terrible on the Sony and some medicore and the odd one that stood out. Please don't let that put you off from doing these again in the future. Thanks 👍

Ótimo video 😮😮

Pretty sure only notebookcheck will tell you that.

the PRO and Auto mode results are not consistent across the situations! so i was guessing wrong a lot! The Auto mode is actually very good i think, but not always.

I think the pictures that have ”blown” highlight detail look better. The modern smartphone hdr look just appears unnatural to me. I much prefer the more dramatic look of the pro mode

Heating issues?

This is fu*kin phenomenal! 90% of the photos from xperia i loved (poor iphone) this is what happened when we put AI on Xperia phone 🔥🔥🔥

I mostly liked the auto mode ones on the Xperia 1 VI. Definitely very tempting to get it over the Pixel 9 Pro.

It was quite obvious the mystery was an iPhone from the first pic, turmeric must be Tim's favorite Cooking ingredient.... for the colour 🤣.

The iPhone generally tends to produce warm results and a bit over-sharpened. The skin color is a really noticeable difference and looks much better on Sony and more like a real camera.

I thought the mystery phone is Xperia 10.

i'm about 6 mins in the video...i'm veru sure the mystery phone is an iphone. I do recognized the way iphone captures details and the way it handle colours for most of the iphones starting with iphone 6s up to the latest.... i know cos i pay attention to the pixels on a phone more often than i care about the pictures that come out.... and i feel one of them must be a real sony camera.... but the slightly exposed areas can be edited on the fly... the experia seem to handle details and stability slgithly better than the other two and it litterally takes in nearly the right amount of light which is quiet rare for a phone camera as compared to how much light the physical eye on a human being takes in....

Photo quality as good as always, which means not good enough. No matter how advanced the sensor, no matter how much processing power is available, no matter how many Sony Photo Engineers help, Xperia phones simple can't learn how to do "dynamic range".

Iphone is the mystery phone

IPhone prores raw should compete well with the Xperia Pro mode

i fell happy no girll in the vedio 😍 watching from sony 1 iii 😘

White balance aside, I'm very surprised that I like the mystery phone's shots the best in almost every scenario. Especially after finding out which phone it was. The HDR is fantastic and it looks like it has the most details, which might just be sharpening or the fact that they're higher resolution photos.
