Thank You ! Sony way better !
lovely and calming video. what a nice vibe
Love your video and what you brought up. The first xperias didnt have Sony cams and the 1iii did have some issues with heat but nothing compared to the 1iv. I did check the 1v but thought it was a minor upgrade from my 1iii. I will get the 1vi very soon and im looking forward to that. The other brands seems to not have the smart battery savings when charging. So in all it should be a huge upgrade from the 1iii who is still very good and a reliable phone. Btw you should compare the speakers and go full Atmos when the content arent the same with blueray or 4K. Like you sad its compressed and raising questions. Thx for the tewieue.
5:49, you can hear that the speaker from S24 is having a whining sound (if you are wearing a headphone) This can also be heard from 1 V and it is worse that S24. Clearly Sony major flaw from z1 till 1V has always been speaker being too whiny (due to water resistance and speaker driver issue). It has improved a lot compared to 1V
Quando vai vim esse video para nós BRs? Mas já deixei minha curtida aqui nesse video.
Irmao por que você nao postou em português?
All the Samsung meat riders crying in the comments 😂
Not a camera question. Did you intentionally use Post Malone's Circle and Fleetwood Mac's Dream as sountracks? Because Post said that Circle was inspired by the sound of Fleetwood Mac songs like Dream and Little Lies when he wrote circle 😊
Im mostly interested in highly accurate HR detection without having to use a chest strap. Apple and Gatmin are the best we have, but I'm hoping the flood of new smart RINGS will bring ultra accurate HR readings.
It seems like a comparison between IPHONE & SAMSUNG are similar to a verdict like xbox vs.. playstation, lol. I have never owned any IPHONE and always stuck with SAMSUNG from my very 1st samsung phone with the s5 and since have only had the s8 , then s9+ and now in 2024 just got the s21 ultra. The 21 ultra is the best phone I have ever owned.. however, with the upgrade from the s9+ to the 21 ultra, I still actually think that for the age of the s9+ It still holds up really well.
Good review... the battery life of this phone is amazing. One chargeup every 3-4 days for me.
Want to reserve judgement for another week or so but damn!!! So far it's been the best I've ever seen
the s24 and s24+ have the exact same camera sets btw
Main difference in my case is the Exynos processing on the S24+ instead of SD on S24U
Very well made video! Makes me tempted to switch to an Xperia from my iPhone 15PM. Just a shame how hard they are to get across the pond! Thank you. Very informative.
My pleasure and thanks for the kind words! Yes, I'm not sure why Sony makes it hard for literally the biggest potential market!
Great review 👍👍 does this phone work in US?? Thank you
Yes. I use mine with T-Mobile.
which one has better camera xperia 1 vi or s24ultra ? Thank you
Testing that as we speak. So far, there are tradeoffs between them, depending on what you prioritise. If you like Macro shots though, the Xperia is in a league of its own
Hi mate, great video as always. Just wanted to ask about whether this model has the colour balances option within the video mode just as it does for the photo mode? Thanks a lot
Thank you! You do indeed. In fact you get a few more for video, called Film, Nostalgic, S-Cine and 'Bright'
@@AlexGTech oh right, quite happy to hear that now 😄 so the ones you've mentioned are available to use alongside the default ones like 'vivid' for example even for the video mode ?
Hello, Alex!!! In fact, I would like updates so that it could better compete with other flagships, such as the interface and perhaps its edges. From the video you could see that SONY did a good job and made the cameras easier to use, but it's still a niche product in my opinion. I'm curious to test it, but as I'm not an expert in photography and still value a more automatic experience, I imagine I wouldn't use it as my main smartphone.
It's easier to use now and very friendly, but the best results come when you go into the Pro/Manual settings. Definitely a learning curve from the standard Android/iPhone models
4K60 footage looks great! However, is there an option to select 4K50 instead? That would be useful for those of us here in the UK, especially when dropping footage from other cameras onto the same timeline.
Sadly no, you get 24, 30, 60 and 120 as far as I can tell
@@AlexGTech Darnit. So close Sony, so close...
great video, can you post the link where you got the leather strap please?
I dont think they update its video apps or capabilities as they mention on mainstream media. Its what im waiting for.
Well considered, it's an awful lof of money for a phone. For that kind of money one can buy a descent mechanical Swiss watch.
Bro get that light ❤️ subbed
Haha thank you!! Will get it fixed up now! Have a great week ahead 🙏
I have a Sandisk extreme portable ssd and used maybe 10 times, like almost brand new. Now my Mac can't even detect the SSD, neither does it show up on Disk Utility, right now I have no idea how to retrieve all of my data on the dive. I have tried it on window pc as well, it won't show up at all. Very disappointed and will not buy their product again. ps anyone have the same issue ?
Excellent video but these two phones are not value for money, anyway with Exynos. Value for money is something like Iqoo 12.
So apart from DEX, you say it’s almost quite there, but not yet? I’m not an apple fanboy but apple does tablets the best. My opinion.
If it wasn't for the shitty software support I would be sold. But as a Sony Alpha user since A300 I KNOW SONY will only give us as much as they need to not to get sued. Which is a shame. S24 Ultra 1TB is 1300-1400€ here and Sony is the same - that is too expensive, when S24U will have great resale value still in 3-4y when the Sony will be a brick. I rock a Note9 yet, because it still does anything I need great. Photos aren't that great but current phones aren't exactly photo geniuses either.
Errm....1TB gets you better resale value and also protects the NAND from too frequent writes because the controller has enough free estate to move the data around. So NEVER tell people they don't need more NAND space. They may not need it but are better off with it.
Does it play Prime Video in HDR or at least with a bright screen? I found my S24 Ultra plays Prime with only half the brightness of my old Note 9 with current firmware and full tilt settings... That's ridiculous. So what's the deal with this phone?
Haven't tried Prime video yet, but will definitely do that for the full review
To me, the sound from this phone is much better than S24, S24 is such loud and flat, more like a normalized one, you could tune the sound profile in dolby settings on xperia tho
Yes I need to play around with those settings. For this test I left the recommended option which turns on Dolby for video, but uses DSEE for music
Reminds me of my old N8
Good times!
You do a great job of putting your videos together! Looking forward to the follow up review. Subscribed :)
Awesome, thank you! Welcome to the channel ☺️
Sony’s update policy is still absolutely worthless; i just don’t think I’d ever spend that kind of money unless I’m getting at least 4OS updates, if not 5. Plus i don’t think the phone itself works great on verizon in the US; at least previous versions never used to. Considering their entire selling point is the camera, the camera needs to he WAY better, when in reality it’s…eh.
Agreed on the update but I'd suggest looking further into the camera (I'm not a photographer). Definitely not to be dismissed
Seus videos cresceram muito! Esta de parabéns mano! Grande abraco de Portugal 🇵🇹

Where do I change so I have to press power button all way to unlock with finger print ? Fingerprint is too sensitive for me.
Under Settings > Security > Fingerprint manager 👊
@@AlexGTech on mine that just shows the number of prints I have added. And option to add another print :/
@@AlexGTech Found it. Its in the menu just before that option for me. Under "security" and "press to unlock with fingerprint". Weird. But thanks a lot :)
I believe when 4k screen can do changeable Hz as 2k screen does, 4k screen will be back again😊
True! We already started to see some great 4K monitors coming up...
I like your detailed review, especially regarding the heat issue. Most reviews are just testing synthetic benchmarks.
Sorry I don’t understand what the resolution is. 2k? 4k? 5k?
you still using the s24 ultra? if so hows the battery holding up?
Yes I'm still using it as my main phone, the battery is pretty bad right now 😭 4-5 hours of SOT
@@AlexGTechJees theyd need to sort that out I think a battery should be the main feature of a phone not just adding bigger screens like. Still enjoying it tho?
Excited to see a video comparison between xperia 1vi and pixel 9 once available .
That will be an interesting head to head for sure, especially considering the OS is pretty much identical
Finally Sony is making some good smartphones
Superb quality really. A few quirks here and there but feels premium and the results are insane too
@@AlexGTech 😍❤️thanks for responding
Sony are ripping people of by not supplying a cable
Damn now that you mention it!! I forgot they didn't send one
Damn…that camera set-up, particularly if you are in a Sony ecosystem looks borderline insane!
Such a nice touch. Needs a bit more manual control for the best results but when it nails it...it's pretty unbeatable
Really good. So it speed up the process for editing videos without doing nothing or do I need to install all the software on it ? I just need to connect it to my MacBook ? I've a MacBook 14 ,M2 PRO 16gb and it's very slow on Da vinci. Will it speed up the process ? I work on 4K files. The intro of the video is so good , Well done .
Does anyone know, will crucial x9 pro works with ip11?
Great video my last phone from sony was the Ericsson w880i 😊 love it, think about to give sony a try again 😊 respect to you from Denmark
Haha nice one! I had the grandfather of that phone, the K700. Simpler times 😊 also, I love Denmark! 🇩🇰 have a lovely summer ahead
@@AlexGTech thanks for your reply 👍 you must have a wonderful summer to.☀️🤗
Great review bro, 1 thing to ask you Is Xperia 1vi display has yellowish tint?? I don't like Samsung or iPhone display and to be honest most of the modern displays now has Yellowish tint, because of that even pure white colour and other colours looks like dull, washed out.
Hi there, I haven't really noticed any tint. Have only been using AWB, but so far pretty happy with the colour accuracy in photo/video. I noticed the display can br calibrated but I haven't tried that yet
@@AlexGTech Ok mate, waiting for the full detailed review
I’m switching from iPhone to this phone! ❤❤
wow, thats a big move!! it's such a fast and classy phone, quite comfortable to use too.
I am a Sony user for the last -peobably - 10 years. I currently use bothe the Xperia 1V and the 5v as my secondary device ( in some ways it feels better). I have used Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei and iphone in between. My main camera is also a Sony mirorless, a camera that I absolutely adore. So, even though there are some valid points every phone company makes, I always thought that Sony was the phone for me. Screen brightness and camera software are welcome changes and do renew my confidence in Sony. Sorry to see the 21-9 aspect go.
Amazing! I'm quite new to the Xperia range, but really impressed by it. I love how it encourages me to get creative with the shots in the edit, but at the same time give natural looking shots even when using the VV profile. And that video quality.... wow. And those macro shots! 🤯
Very weird, I am using the Sandisk portable version and found that the USB A to USB C cable only gave me around 450ish MB of transfer performance while switching the cable to my samung t7 usb c to c cable on the same drive gave me around 800 MB on sequential read and writes. How come yours are much less.
