Sony Xperia is an underrated phone but trust me it is the only unique phone in the whole market. I am a sony user since 2012 and no other phone has given me the convenience of Sony. Google Pixel comes pretty close but Sony is another level so it is also the most expensive phone on the market because they are confident in what they put on the market

[@namelesssnitchy]

using an xperia 5ii and google pixel 6a, unfortunaltely my xperia has 4 green lines in the screen now (maybe my own fault for washing it too much with water hahahahaa) but the sony 5ii is way nicer phone. now gonna go swithc to the pixel 6a soon but will use my xperia 5ii as a camera on the side (the 4 green lines are now just too much to handle, it was just 1 first and i could still use it in a normal way). until i saved enough money again to buy another sony. probably a 5 or 1 series. sony's battery care is just way better than google pixels. sony splitscreen is the best in the world also, so nice with the 21/9 and the cameras were better of the xperia 5ii although the phone was also 2s as expensive. i expected more from google pixel. but google pixel is just point and shoot hdr that is it. when zooming in the xperia 5ii blazes away that picture quality of the pixel 6a. ill never go back to pixel.

For its wanna-be and its crap noise reduction algorithms overall (but mostly for the dusk and night scenes), Xperia 1IV and V were the most unsuitable on the market for the price tag. Front cam is still true to life quality at 3 mp fixed (10 years behind everything on the market nowadays) and its BOKEH modes (for 1IV the most expensive one) is still a disaster after the latest upgrades. Underrated for its refusing to help or improve it for users, nor fixed as it should. Shame!

not in HDR. Since the 1v Sony's up their games in Auto mode and people still think they're only good using manual. when in reality you dont have that nice HDR effect, resulting in blown out highlights and crushed shadows.

[@pixels_per_inch]

Xperia has always been great. Those famous tech youtubers would want you to believe otherwise, they get extremely terrible shots or somehow prefer the worse photo. But those aren't their true opinions, you can tell who have been paid by a competitor. That's what I found on my 1 III, I prefer the shots coming out of the Xperia 95% of the time compared to the S23 Ultra. The only time I'd prefer iPhones and Samsung is in extreme low light, where it's even hard for a human to see.

[@sosiehtesaus2652]

​@@pixels_per_inchI only prefer Samsung for documents because of the scanner 😅Otherwise it's hard to argue why you shouldn't buy a Sony The automatic mode is at the top along with the best devices and the manual mode is still unmatched. At Sony you have both with the best design, the best features, the best sound and the best battery life Now even larger sensors at 16 and 85 mm and it would be perfect.

[@phatthesaigonese7947]

Cmon guys, there's a fact that iPhone has been stepped down in terms of photography. The only category they do well now is videography, and, well, iOS. Chinese phones are way superior, as well as Samsung, and now when Sony is really back to the game, Apple has to seriously improve their camera quality.

[@The-Heart-Will-Testify]

iPhone 15 camera is the same as iPhones that came out in 2020... It's mediocre

[@s89kw]

If your phone display Supports 1 billion colors Stop the video at 33 seconds and watch the colors of the grass on the Sony camera. I see many colors of yellow and green grass in different shades, as if it captured by a real human eye. Other phones capture limited colors So Sony has a Technique called color science ( cinealta ) in the Alpha division of cameras, and they talked about it a lot and introduced it into Xperia phones I think in 2019 Also the dog shot at minute 8:5 If the light on a dog’s face comes from the sun, it will naturally have yellowness, so I want to say that the Sony camera engineers are geniuses and It seems that Sony has provided the best macro lens in phones as well

[@RennieAsh]

Not sure that the 10 bit phone screen will help if the video isn't in 10bit. Pura70 also has 5cm telemacro. Would be an interesting comparison

[@lovemademan]

Useless supporting 1 mil as long the display gets burned in random areas, as the noise algorithms are way behind its time and burned pixels in low light photo shooting never fixed by a software noise reduction improvement. LED is useless and so weak set for shooting in any scenario for ultrawide and mostly telephoto (I've tested both IV and V)!

The greens on Sony Xperia are always looking true to life or at least almost true to life and that's what I like about the Xperia

[@kritatali]

🍀 Hi! I'm currently watching this video on the iphone 14 pro max because the galaxy s24 ultra doesn't have the quality I need and I'm waiting to get the Sony Xperia 1 VI. In my research the iphone and xperia are pretty equal in picture and video quality in this video, although the video is best on the iphone! In the naturalness of the colors, the gamma of the originality of the colors, the sharpness, etc. iphone and xperia are the best! And the pixel sometimes takes successful pictures, the pixel is either too artificial, too dark or light, does not consistently correctly capture scenes and situations. In my observation at the moment, the order is: 1) 15 pro max, 2) xperia 1 VI, 3) pixel, while xperia and pro max are both walking side by side with very high quality. I changed my xperia 1 V to a galaxy s24 ultra and I regretted it pretty much right away because the galaxy is not very high quality, it's more of a quantity chaser, I just don't like the fake color gamut of the galaxy either on its screen or camera, and the galaxy is constantly hot and has other bugs and it's actually a shame because the s24 ultra looks beautiful so I'm replacing my galaxy s24 ultra with an Xperia 1 VI. Thank you!☀️

[@phatthesaigonese7947]

If you know how to use in-depth video recording, actually I think you'll be surprised by the video quality on Sony. I'm using the 1V right now and I can't admire it enough. Plus if you know how to do video editing, S-Cinetone on Sony is way superior than on iPhone. Other than that, I agree with everything else you have commented.

[@ERP_Klim]

On a bokeh photo on Xperia, there seems to be a lense flare, that could've been fixed just by tilting a shot by less than a millimitre. Also to take in mind, HDR dosn't work in Bokeh mode.

[@AOTanoos22]

Wow, for me 90% of the pictures i preferred were from the Sony. They really finally upped their game when it comes to auto mode and processing. Genuinely impressed how much better the pictures are compared to last years Sony 1 V, although the camera hardware stayed the same ! They are finally really stepping up in terms of AI and software.

Hey, good comparison! I would like to see a comparison during the evening and night, specially with video and telephoto performance. We all know the main sensor is great, but I am worried about the tiny 1/3.5 sensor in the telephoto camera. I also think burst photo and action/sports comparisons would be good. Written from a 5II

[@spIette]

This was very useful, thank you! I owned the Xperia Pro-I a while ago and loved the natural looking photos, then switched to Pixel where I hate the excessive pixel processing and over-sharpening (which you can also see in many of your examples).

[@MrStevenAttila]

Hi! Thanks for this video! Are the shots from the Sony made in Pro mode or in Auto? To be honest I am impressed with the Sony this year!

[@Maderpakk]

Great comparisons as always. But as i think, you already know, there is differences between these phones when it comes to photography. For example the Pixel is the one that is made for those who prefer to take a quick shot on their food or candles at home. The xperia is more of a nature/outside kind of a phone to take photos with while the iPhone being a mix of the both. You should mix buildings, dark/light, day/night, objects inside/outside, sun/cloud/after sunset to get most out of the comparison if you ask me. Otherwise i think its kinda unjustified action towards the capabilities of them all since all these situations were tricky and uncommon ones. Still a good comparison, but it will give less good image to the real capabilites of the phones :)

[@cristisun184]

The main sensor is good on Xperia V but it seems they improved on the other 2 sensors.There is no number 1 among the traditional smartphone companies when it comes to photo/video but I think Sony is much better on the manual options.Somtimes I wonder if there is anything left to go further with this camera format and what is the future when it comes to smartphone photography.

I am pretty sure that experia after the new software will perform even better because its quite impressive that even in just its raw power its competing with the flagship camera phones and if we compare its raw auto shooting with the previous experia than its like 60percent better and dont forget all those manual controls with those this might be the best camera phone if you can use it properly

[@EbNorth]

This is all pre-release software. I'm sure it could change. Sony usually improves things during the lifespan of these phones. Especially within the first 6 months of release.

[@aideyp7333]

The Xperia 1 VI seems better at objects than people; I get a similar portrait shot on my Xperia 1 V at 4:19, I could also tell on the selfie video earlier on as the Xperia still has no AF on the front camera of your face lacked the detail compared to the other two. They may finally reintroduce AF on the front camera as they did on the XZ Premium all those years ago!! The macro shooting is very impressive on the Xperia 1 VI as were some dark shots Also I was initially hung up about the screen resolution, but as my Xperia I V usually runs at 1080p for the vast amount of time, the brighter screen on the Xperia I VI and longer lasting battery is probably better overall

[@phonemyatt3157]

Im not sure. But the reason why the iPhone can't properly focus on the flower and the food is probably because the iPhone has very weak minimum focusing distance. I pre-ordered a Xperia 1 Make VI in Singapore on 18th May, and I will get in on around 22nd or 23rd of June.

[@CL4MP]

I don't think this phone is overpriced like many people claim. Especially when we consider the high end camera sensors, Zeiss lenses and other additions like the mechanical shutter button, headphone jack and micro sd slot. The big problem for Sony is the terrible timing of the release and the fact that you can get an S24 Ultra for over EUR 400.00 less and a Pixel 8 Pro for almost half the price of the Xperia 1 VI. Same goes for many other, more popular, high-end phone brands.

[@Ruudwardt]

*you can get an S24 Ultra for over EUR 400.00 less and a Pixel 8 Pro for almost half the price* - are you saying Samsung and Pixel are too cheap? I'd go with Sony being overpriced. But it is a nice niche and unique device - worth it for some people.

[@SM-qo9gr]

i went with pixel most of the time, then Xperia and iPhone once (portrait mode, kneeling on the grass) That being said, I'd still buy Xperia over Pixel because Pixels have since 6 a list of problems, inefficient SoC, Camera glass popping for no apparent reason, bad battery life. Sony just ticks all the boxes, screen too good (4k was overkill or whatever was in MkV) huge battery, efficient SoC, Headphone Jack, SD Card slot - almost perfect phone and the benefit of the super cameras who hold their ground in their Beta/pre release software version. I just need to find a way to import the damn thing from japan because i want 512 gigs version, to hold on it for few years.

The final result was: 24 points for each camera. This proofs a point: it is dependent on the situation how good a camera performs. These are all good cameras with slightly different qualities. There is no reason to go crazy about "the best camera smart phone".

[@arjunutech]

I can tell which phone took the picture based on past experiences. Pixel phones tend to have better HDR but sometimes the images look over-processed. iPhones try to make the images look natural, but sometimes they end up looking a bit dull. I think I've developed a sense for these things. iPhone fans tend to choose the better images and think they're iPhone photos, but companies process images in different lighting differently even if they all use Sony sensors. The thing about phone cameras is that there is no right choice as they all perform differently in different lighting unless you control everything with pro mode but then looses the processing limitations of inferior small sensor size compared to actual full frame cameras. Just choose the one that you need by thinking what all features and specs you need the most and go for it. Good video and really helpful, wanted to see the s24's camera as well. LIKED and SUBD

No doubt about Sony in that macro shot!

[@MehradGame214]

Sony has done the best🎉❤ King: Sony ❤🇯🇵

[@roremaaudy1538]

5 - Sony Xperia 1 VI 4 - Pixel 8 1 - iPhone 15 Pro Max Damn !! These is a cool video. I know what to buy now. SONY phones are coming in straight. ✌️✌️

[@GroundedTech]

The Xperia seems to be punching above its weight considering the camera hardware is the same this year. That macro shot was gorgeous. Putting my pre-order in this weekend.

[@jackhuo2758]

You mean it's finally punching at the correct weight. It's had the best camera hardware for years now... (And I'd say by a good margin). The results here have shown a significant improvement in their Auto software.

[@mohammadmojabi9013]

Love sony❤ front side speaker❤ no punch hole selfi❤ best size and ratio❤ memory card slot❤ 3.5mm jack❤ side mounted finger print sensor❤

[@azimayman407]

Pixel 8 Pro and 15 Pro Max for me, but that Telephoto macro on Xperia is great !

[@leemcphail634]

I scored it pretty much, even with the Sony just snatching it in the final round. Sony - 6 Iphone- 5 Pixel - 5 I am currently looking to upgrade and am having a difficult time choosing and am swayed more by the Sony due to the free gift as I can not separate from the competition based on specs and camera/video comparisons.

[@krin_c747]

EXperia is the fotographers paradise, if u know how to use it

[@chetlyp]

Pictures are a toss up with the pixel and Sony. Video is a toss up with the iPhone and Sony. So overall I'd go with the Sony.

[@18yearsoldnot]

Can we get a test of a landscape photo? The true test is when everything in the photo is in focus

[@RootsMusicHawaii]

Great video. Thank you!

[@CastingChef]

Sony has the best camera so far. Because it looks natural and sharp without overprocessing. This is a great video that I'm looking for

[@juancarloscastrejon3417]

Could you please do a comparison with the Huawei Pura 70 ultra??

[@ivybator6167]

Sony nailed it ❤! Sometimes the pixel8 Pro showed more details but as the colours are wrong ,I don’t like the Pixel, always preferred the Sony and one time the iPhone. I already pre-ordered the new Sony Xperia 1VI and am extremely much looking forward to it and in your comparison here,you must always remind that the Sony Xperia is not even on the market and there comes a softwareupdate after release , I love Sony

[@jordimagius]

can't belive xperia finally beats the big boys on its own field, camera.

[@jethrovisitacion2117]

Experia has it own uniqueness among all brand. Try to use raw mode and edit in same effects.

[@WhatGear]

I did a camera test in London to test out the auto mode vs manual. Where I did shoot a lot of RAW

[@doktormerlin]

The Xperia to me seemed like the best allrounder. While in a lot of your examples I preferred another phone, the Xperia always was either first or a close second. Except for the selfie, where the Xperia was the worst by far. All 3 phones have a really good camera though. I think the Xperia still is the best phone for photos thanks to the dedicated shutter button and the Micro-SD slot, this is really unique

[@MLeoM]

If you could expand the comparison by including Mi 14 Ultra and Vivo and Oppo flagships, it'd be nice.

[@woyttas]

I've chosen Xperia photos the most, then Pixel and iPhone the least. It's good to see Sony has improved auto mode so much. Manual was always going to be superior to other phones in my opinion, but I may be biased. Been using Sony since mk IV and tbh there's nothing like it in the market. Flagship that does not compromise on storage expansion or Hi-Fi experience in 2024. Imagine 😅 Hopefully I can grab one soon.

[@eshbanvelez5212]

For point and shoot Pixels tend to be pretty good all rounders. I've never owned a Sony but I understand if pro/ manual modes were used the Sony could come out on top. It would be interesting since the Pixel 8 Pro has the manual mode now. I'm loving my P8PRO but I've always dreamed of owning a Sony phone.

[@cristianroth8524]

What I notice is that Xperia lacks the oversharpening of its competition.

[@senseinagezo4080]

I'm thinking about whether I should get the Sony Xperia 1 VI or wait for the Google Pixel 9 or iPhone 16????

[@hansley7307]

i think sony is okay now it need the detail more and if they can bring the main sensor to the periscope camera it would be game changer

[@dkdk5486]

Heating issues?

[@leophoenix1452]

A new challenger has entered the arena for point and shoot video and photography

[@dqnkteaa4611]

Hoping for a review on the Huawei Matepad Pro 13.2!

[@pixelshaderx]

Sony should have at least kept the Laser AF sensor. It's quite necessary for night shots of people. The Xperia 1 V already struggled to deliver focused photos of people at night and I wonder if Xperia 1 VI is the same. Great comparison but I hoped if there were photos of people at night or low light condition.

[@crpro5420]

That continues zoom camera is dope ❤

[@tremainemendez3160]

I love these blind tests. Photo wise probably Experia and Pixel, but video wise... well they all looked terrible. More video camera tests please

[@Llucius1]

It was funny that I picked the best shot and I knew it was an iphone because the best shot looks a little unreal. The photos from the iphone is just smoother to the eyes. But Sony has always been more realistic to the real photos , so it is really tough to say if it is good or not.

[@ChrisBochtis]

Sony is very very good in most situations. Also best macro.

[@phatthesaigonese7947]

Wow, Sony killed it this year! Bravo to the whole team! Can't wait to see it's on my hands then I'll trade in my 1V for it.

[@andreydavydov6417]

Pixel 8 Pro in every way, and considering its price tag, it's a no brainer

[@pillepolle3122]

I agree. you must have no brain if you buy the 8 pro

[@The-Heart-Will-Testify]

Cheap quality phone that only has good auto mode in pictures, that's it...I'm not going back to pixel phones again... It's terrible

[@liuliukiu]

not considering the amount of hardware and software problem that Google's been known for for years?

[@kontor170]

But what if you have a brain?

[@alaeddinechahed3209]

@@The-Heart-Will-Testify no you're wrong they have stepped up with manual mode with 8 pro. Besides, it's quite clear who the winner was

[@kiyoupon]

Oh wait this was in auto mode !?!!! These turned out waaay better than i expected then My majority went to pixel followed by xperia followed by iphone

[@lewiskariukimunene]

Impressed by the Sony

[@37rmstrong]

I have only owned Nexus and pixel phones. And a couple of Sony's Xperia phones. If I didn't pick the pixel then I picked the Sony. I think my eyes are just accustomed to those photos. So naturally I will pick them. Every iPhone photo looked terrible to me. But I think it's just what I am used to. Yes, the Xperia impressed. It's not coming to the US though

[@sidersproductions941]

Sony has really stepped up and done a great job this year. Overall I'm pretty impressed that I chose that 8 Pro in a lot of the scenes. This is a big win for Sony for even competing with two of the top auto smartphones.

[@rickyjassal4488]

I liked the Pixel 8 Pro and Sony for the most part. However Sony costs more and provides like...barely 3 years of updates. Pixel 8 pro provides 7 years of updates. Since it is widely available, replacing its battery here in Canada would be easier. Also from a cybersec point of view, Graphene OS is compatible with Pixel 8 pro as well.

[@realnicorobin8798]

im not an iPhone hater BUT GOD, the iPhone didn't win any except the selfie video xperiia surprised me!

[@RecisDempayos]

Most photos that I liked are from the Pixel 8 Pro. Video-wise, I liked those from the Xperia 1 VI.
