Good Bye iPhone, Hello Xperia 1V - Why I'm Switching!

Introducing the Sony Xperia 1 mark 5. Now as a tech KZbinr I’m constantly testing new devices and quite often I find myself between the iPhone, the Pixel and the Galaxy S23 ultra ... .but over the past two years my sim spends more time in the iPhone than anything else.

The Xperia 1 V is definitely the better phone if you're a photographer. I used it yesterday to shoot some owls in low light and it never lost focus. The eye tracking is amazing and the burst mode comes in handy for action shots . It was a great backup to my pro DSLRwhen I didnt have time to switch lenses and I was able to publish my images immediately without the need to go home and process my RAW files. It's definitely a phone for those who know the basics of the exposure triangle as it still lags behind most other phones in basic full auto camera mode, but if you are willing to put in the effort, the shots you can achieve with the pro settings and manual mode are absolutely stunning and easily beat the iPhone 14 Pro Max and Samsung S23 Ultra . As a photographer the amount of control you have with each shot is vastly superior to any other smartphone currently available.

[@papschil.d.channel3816]

Which one will you suggest, this or google pixel 6/7 for photography? Especially for microstock 🙏🏻 please i need ur suggestion

[@F14Mavrick]

That 21:9 aspect is what got me. I can never go back. I didn't want to go to experia because of that. I knew that I would be hooked. For web browsing, texting and running dual apps at the same time, it is just god damn heaven. Unless someone else make a 21:9 phone, Sony is the only phone for me.

[@godspeedmaximus]

What’s that aspect ratio like for gaming? Any downsides?

[@F14Mavrick]

@@godspeedmaximus Well I was say decent. The same issue you come across gaming on a PC on 21:9 aspect are the same issues you will come across on a mobile phone. The app needs to support it for the game to display correctly. If it doesn't, it will scale as best as it can. As far as smoothness and such, it is butter smooth, graphics are excellent and battery life is decent as well. To be 100% honest, if you are looking at the sony phone specifically for gaming, I would say there are better options out in the wild that make much better gaming phones as they have specific gaming features the sony doesn't have. I do a 40/60 split (gaming/productivity) on the sony phone and I am very happy with it.

[@flitetym]

I’ve been a Sony aficionado since the Minolta days (!) and the fact that this phone integrates so well with my other Sony gear makes this a “must buy.” Using it as a field monitor to replace my Feelworld “brick” is just “the bee’s knees” for me. Great job, Sony!

[@Stomping-On-Roses]

Had a iphone for the first time now for half a year now. I want back to android but learned that sony still has microsd slot and aux port. Thats going to be my next phone 100%

[@GreasyFox]

While some people complain about the high price, do remember for that price, they are getting an OLED external mirrorless camera display, high def music player, 21:9 display ratio, microSD card expandable storage, 3.5mm headphone jack, 4k 120 fps video camera (the Xperia 1 V has the highest bit-rate video among other flagship phone. Source: kzbin.info/www/bejne/omrZkquDZ7WZf6s, jump to 08:38), which users can transfer it to the MicroSD card, and the capability of interweb browsing, all in single package, now that is worth the price. As for the side mounted fingerprint sensor, just use the middle finger. No, really.

[@kioti15]

Not going to lie. That’s a lot of cool utility ability for a phone. I personally couldn’t benefit from a lot of that stuff, but man is that neat to see.

[@hazza_007]

I have used many phones as I like to try different phones. I jumped from the Pixel 7 Pro to the Xperia 1 V and I'm absolutely blown away. I love the Xperia 1 V it has been a great experience. The camera isn't Pixel or Huawei level but with manual mode you can get equally good photos

[@dnegel9546]

Thing is it takes so long to make all those adjustments. Just to hope that maybe you’ll have the same quality as iphone or pixel.

Can't wait for my 1 V to come in at the end of July. A huge thing that made me choose this phone is that it's upgraded in every way while retaining all hardware features of the 1 III. Also nice Suzume shirt bro 🍻

[@VenomIIID]

The Xperia 1V is way ahead of any other phone. and it's not for people who like everything in auto mode. it's a proper professional tool.

[@derikdang8829]

You're CORRECT for saying "proper professional tool". If a user wants just point-and-shoot, then, pick up Pixel or Samsung. SONY is mostly designed for Content Designer or Photographer, it aims for serious manual setting. I stick with Pixel because I'm not professional photo person, even I like SONY better.

[@henrikscheurer]

I switched also over from Samsung to Sony, because of the microSD card possibility. I have already a Samsung S23 Ultra with 1 TB memory,but it's very slow to bring over FLAC and MP3 data. The Sony is also very light and compact compared with Samsung. Apple has never been an option for me due the lack of apps I use in the airline industry..

[@burningknuckle26]

Might do the same

[@Kevin27182]

I have the iphone 13 pro and the Xperia 1 and find the side mounted finger print sensor far superior than face id. Mainly because I can unlock my phone before I even look at it. There are many reasons why I keep my Xperia around. I was a huge note fan as well but man the Xperia's screen is so great

[@RennieAsh]

They have pros and cons. What you gain from unlocking your phone without looking at it, you lose from having to tap the sensor multiple times or type in a pin when it decides it doesn't want to work due to moist or dirty finger.

[@Kevin27182]

@@RennieAsh lol I've had that problem when first setting up my phone so I set it up with moist fingers and it works great 😅

[@daidalos1508]

I hate the under display scanner so badly. I would like to see side mounted on more flagships. Why ? Because most people use screen protectors whose just make the finger recognition way worse. For people who wash their hands bot regularly it may be not a problem since 3D ultrasonic sensors love moist fingers but like me, who works in a car workshop, fingers are mostly dry due to the sheer amount of washing. The sensor just stops working so I mostly unlock via pattern or face unlock. Side mounted ones will not need any protection and can be unlocked waz faster. Oh and when replacing the screen you don't pay extra cash for the new sensor haha. Face ID via Lidar is actually very nice but I don't like how slow it is. I love it snappy like on android

[@lazerman121]

I bought a Sony Xperia 5ii as my first smartphone after using a keyboard phone for a decade. I love it and my brother liked it so much he bought one recently as well.

I have to be honest and say that the Sony overheating curse has put me off their devices in the past. The 8Gen2 toting 1 V does not know what the word overheat even means. All the reputable testers have proved this. It is the first Sony device that I could buy with confidence. It is not a cheap device and is more for skilled photographers or those wanting to get into photography a little deeper, but fair play to you Sony. You have at last produced a fine device worth the asking price. Respect.

[@morm2173]

The s23 ultra is the best phone I've ever used and owned coming from the s10 plus and why i gave the a53 to my mother. The Samsung s23 ultra is better than the iPhone 14 pro max and Pixel no comparison, and I've used all 3. For those of us who know tech, we always knew Samsung was way more fun to use with more capabilities than the iPhone. I used to be an apple sheep many, many years ago, and then I transitioned and never went back. I remember apple phones being the most boring limited phones I've used. The only thing I use on my old iPhone 6s is the imessage period. Even using the 14 pro max irritates me because my s23 ultra does way more. Also, the camera is way better than the iPhone and more fun unlimited features. IPhone sometimes give the perception of better battery because it doesnt do anything basically. Now, with the pixel, I don't prefer the operating system, but I respect the pixel camera. Only gripe I have is the missing micro SD card. When it comes to those things like edge panel multi tasking, and 10 x perfect clarity, UHD 60 and hdr 10 video , all those unlimited features are close to perfect. The s23 ultra is the most value for the money, no comparison! However, the Sony Xperia 1 V will be the next phone I get and it has now earned my respect for design , micro sd card and headphone jack

[@RennieAsh]

There's no such thing as "unlimited" features lol. I find it funny how people seem to tout up being "into tech" and "no longer an apple sheep" You can still be a "tech person" and use an iPhone , without being an "Apple sheep". Now that's un-limited!

[@NoName-bb2pu]

Comparing Sony with Samsung is like comparing a 2024 Rolls-Royce Phantom to a rusted 1800's era bicycle with 2 tyres missing

[@morm2173]

@NoName-bb2pu Samsung is better than Apple and Sony and all the rest. My Samsung tab s8 and the new s9 have gaming emulators and I was able to use my tab s8 and s23 ultra as controllers to project Mario Kart on my Samsung TV , Samsung Dex, smart view phone projection to screen for movies, Advanced edge panel and multi tasking like real computers, the ability to download anything from anywhere at any time, micro sd card, advanced s pen air commands, water resistant tablets etc . I still have my old iPhone 6s, and I learned many years ago that Samsung is superior to Apple, and it's no comparison with their flagship. They are the most fun devices I've ever used and they have features that when I use my sister's iPad I'm upset those features aren't there. Samsung has come a long way. I even have the s10 plus and it's no comparison to these new devices we can see how superior they are. SAMSUNG performance with the new snapdragon and battery is on another level . I get 8 - 15 hours a day on my s23 ultra with multi tasking. I love my s23 ultra more than the 14 pro max in terms of user experience, the only thing 14 pro might be better at is selfie , video sometimes , and imessage that's about it

Hello, honestly, I prefer the side button to unlock the phone. at the moment I’m using a phone with fingerprint recognition on the display, but it’s less quick when you pull the phone out of your pocket compared to the side button, which can be felt immediately the moment you take the phone

[@grimmer2005]

How quick does the camera start up?

[@agammuhajir2902]

Iphone: Point and shoot Xperia: Point, calibrate, then shoot I've rented both of them for a month in order to decide my new phone for the next 4 5 years. When it comes to the camera: If you want to take quick snapshot or quick recording with the fastest result, go for the iphone. Suitable for quick social media pictures. If you want to get the best image, but have plenty of time to do some calibrating to the local lighting, then go for the Xperia. Because xperia's auto mode isn't "social media friendly".

[@JCM13M]

Dude, you're one of the few content creators who actually uses split screen. Dude, that's GNARLY! Too bad Apple hasn't really kept up with implementing split screen tech from their iPads to their phones. Keep it up dude. I'm a Sony fanboy all the way! Mainly because of the PlayStation console!

What I want you to do on a future camera comparison is investigate HDR on the manual modes. How it can be used and how good it is. Also, Juan Bagnell did a comparison with the Xiaomi 13Ultra and single frame RAWs are shockingly better on the Xperia. Was that an "accident"? Or is this new Sony sensor really that good? Edit: also, videos during the night changing the shutter speed? This seems like something no one remembers about, that you can change the shutter speed and have dramatically better videos at night.

@@basselaltaji2171 I've been very happy with it and didn't regret it a single day. It just took a few days getting used to Android. The most frustrating things about android for me, has been notifications and permissions. Sometimes I get a notification sound and ive no clue what app it came from. It's only a minor complaint though, I'm sure I'm missing something.

Northen Europe.. I guess you like that battery and speakers. And you dont need big hands either. A tip when its to light, sun or wte is to aim higher and halfpress, then point and shoot. It works when its not to narrow. And you can set how it focus. So, its not like forever to set iso and shutterspeed as some people thinks. Make the changes compare with the reality and capture how it looks like. I love my 1iii and its more fun to do the setings. Since i have the older one il admit its a bummer when you want to change from 24 to 70. But you wont noticed it when its put together. 📷🎥🎬

Hi, which phone are you using as your main one right now? iPhone or Sony?

[@WhatGear]

[@garti4043]

@@WhatGear thank you for the answer) it's a pity that you asked for a refund ((will you buy it for your money?

10:47 multiwindow function was way better on Android Oreo, they still weren't able to make it better than it was back then. Since Android 10 the multiwindow feature sucks.

sony should make xperia PRO-S S = Social media good selfie camera and with type 1 sensor on rear camera for this they would make new Social media PRO app that u can shoot with AI photos (can switch on and off) and shoot pic/vid with both rear and front camera at the same time

[@YoungWise2011]

Wish sony would make a fold. Currently have the z fold 4 and cant see me going back to a slab. But if i did it would be the sony xperia 1 v. Great job sony. Lets get that foldable.

I seen HDR HLG quality kn yt its amazing and its not overexposed

[@danidarklord666]

I'm curious if the RAW picture from 1v is better than the 1iv since it uses the new sensor. So far I'm not impressed with the computational process on the 1v and find that the 1iv produce more dslr like photo. So, I wonder if manual mode + RAW has any difference in result between the two

I bought a Sony 1 mark 4 last year and as an ex iphone user I can claim that Sony phones are the most high tech phones in the world! 🌍 🎉❤

[@DevilFan669]

I love Sony but their products are so much expensive especially when it comes to their phones too and I had a Android Sony phone but I had to upgrade it to a 4G since that Android Sony phone was 5 years old back in 2018 and now I have a iPhone 11 since i had to get me a another phone and cricket doesn’t sell Sony phones and that’s my carrier too bro 😎 and maybe someday I will get back into Sony phone again and I’m debating if I should go with the Sony Xperia Pro-I or Sony Xperia 5 IV Which one should I get?

Been using the Xperia pro i for almost 2 years , I love the Sony phones ... sooooo good 😊

[@hariattada8264]

iPhone screen corners and front camera are looking very awkward (isn't it?, What is the free screen size available to watch). iPhone using SONY camera....!

[@IMDABROWN]

The one thing I hate about this phone is that its been out for creators and ambassadors to help market the phone. Its still almost a month before general consumers can purchase it. For me that's about the amount of time before I become disinterested of a product and would rather buy something else.

[@shaggytech1562]

Mine got delivered today. i'm in the UK.dont know if the release date is different in your region.

[@NNfromspace]

Big problem of this phone is updates, only 2 years.

[@SonOfWalhall]

Sony's phones are underrated. 3.5mm plug, Dolby sound, camera/video...
