Sony Xperia 1 V Review - Excellent New Camera, Great New Features

[@ivan_off]

I love that Sony is not competing with others and does things their own way

[@onuralimren]

Yeah u re right they are fucked Up🤌🏼

[@Chief351L]

That’s actually Competition because it has to start somewhere. I remember seeing the first Sony DSLRs and thinking “They need to stick to TV’s & Stereo’s”…Well they have forced me to eat my words and the best thing is they forced every other manufacturer to totally change their R&D and I am now a big fan and owner. Haha

[@chuahhockleong9916]

[@chuahhockleong9916]

@@JohnyMcNeal Sony always price their products high. I am only interested in the audio and visual department only. If i like it, I will buy it.

[@neilmcguinness4422]

As a very contented S23 Ultra owner looking in, I have to say that I admire where Sony is with it's smartphone camera systems. They are more for people who either know about photography or who want to know about photography. They go easy on sharpening and processing and saturation to give more natural results (even in auto mode) than on other flagship devices. They don't do all the work for you. The overheating issues of the past have hopefully been overcome now as this put me off getting one a few years ago. The price will be high, but quality doesn't often come cheap. I hope Sony have some deserved success with this device.

[@EbNorth]

Someone tested it and recorded 4k 120fps for 4 hrs and no overheating. Also the phone is 1k at PDA Plaza Canada. It's incredibly worth it.

[@cuccomr]

That is thanks to the gen 2 processor. A must

[@burning_buddha]

That's why I wait for the Xperia Pro I Mark 2. The predecessor had overheating issues and with the new processor this problem should be solved.

On Tuesday I’m collecting the Sony Xperia 1 V and will shooting a short drama later in the week with it - can’t wait 🎉👍🏻 love your videos

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

That is an incredible phone! Thank you Sony for no hole punch screen.

[@LiveAndLaughs]

Why do people care so much about the holes or notches? I haven’t even noticed them in years. Just feels like one of those things people choose to complain about because they need something to complain about.

[@Qimchiy]

​@@LiveAndLaughs it's called preferences. It's nice to have something that you'll appreciate.

[@LiveAndLaughs]

@@Qimchiy I think we all understand the concept of preferences, your comment adds nothing to explain why anyone would care so much over something no one notices except the internet keyboard warriors who are desperate for something to bitch about.

[@r.o.o.k.]

@@LiveAndLaughs Having a random spot in your display with no pixels is infuriating. I use the 1 III, and whenever I use a Galaxy or iPhone the first thing I notice is the camera cutout. It's equivalent to having a faulty display with dead pixels.

Plugging the phone in and bypassing the Battery is freakin genius. A feature I did not know I need - brilliant.

[@joelconolly5574]

Best guy to review an Xperia. Now this is an excellent review 👌🏻

[@edandersen]

Of all the simultaneously released Xperia 1 V videos co-ordinated by the Sony marketing team, this is by far the best. Every single video made a point about the user interface in the Photography Pro and Video Pro apps supporting portrait mode because it was likely directed by Sony to call out - but you were the only creator to point out that it doesn't work with the phone upside down. Respect.

[@samwalker3441]

Dude, I just discovered your channel and I was blown away by the quality of the video. Not only the quality of the image, recording and editing but also your way of communicating. After I noticed the PRS guitar headstock in the background and you made the "guitarist comment", then you got my sub (I also play guitar and I'm more addicted to music than technology). Congratulations from an ordinary Brazilian who lives in Brazil lol :D

[@EdoHDpro]

Absolutely the best review video I seen in a while. And finally fixed front camera. While keeping the SD card, even they didn't mention it in official Sony promo, but you did. This is now a complete one

[@doctornebula]

Ive watched several reviews on this phone and your review is by far the best! Thank you!!

[@muazqamar]

I know you've probably heard this a million times but you are THE best youtuber for reviewing cameras. I thoroughly enjoy every video you upload even when I don't comment and I watch a LOT of youtube and a lot of tech youtubers. Thank you for all your hard work and for giving us honest and deep insights into all these products! P.S I'm buying this phone.

[@conin.v]

Nice to see this video has up to 2160p option available, unlike the own's phone promotional video which was uploaded in a mediocre (besides blurry and pixelated) 1080p resolution.

[@SebaaRTX]

The front facing camera has been upgraded to the point i think is even better than my 14 pro max, what an insane amount of detail and quality on rear and front cameras, i was afraid of 1 Mk IV because of overheating but seems sony has done it right this time, awesome work!

[@silva_br1]

Old XZ series had excellent selfies ( except xz2/xz2c).

[@orxanr5955]

Mark 4's chipsets were made by....Samsung. A lot of Android phones from last year suffered a similar fate.

Best review I’ve seen on this, dealt with loads of things I hadn’t thought about

[@sonatturkoglu33]

Elinize sağlık :) zamanında ''Sony'' Türkiyeden çekilme kararı aldığında müthiş üzülmüştüm. O dönemlerde Sony Z3 compact kullanmaktaydım. Hala saklarım kendilerini. Çıktığı tarih itibariyle 4k 24fps frame atlamadan kayıt yapabilmesi (her ne kadar süre zafiyeti olsa da ısı özlü) Harika bir kulaklık çıkışı ve Walkman uygulaması. Hiç donmayan takılmayan ve 3 yıl aralıksız sistem güncellemesi alan vs gibi malzeme işçilik ve kullanım keyfi ile tadı damağımda kalan bir makinaydı. Umarım bir gün ülkemizin ekonomik durumu toparlanır ve ülke sınırlarında satış yapma kararı alır Sony, ilk müşterileri kesinlikle ben olurdum. Çok keyifli bir video daha geldi sizden. Bu kadar büyük emeğe karşılık sadece beğenebiliyorum içeriklerinizi. Umarım daha da güzel yerlere gelirsiniz, sağlıcakla kalın.

[@tgy13]

Merhaba bende almayı düşünüyorum alabilirsem tabi :) Fotoğraf çekmeyi seviyorum, sizce memnun kalırmışım ? S23 Ultra kullandım aslında memnundum mecburen verdim kayıtsız diye simdi Xiaomi 13 Pro var ve fakat memnun değilim. V ve IV arasında da çok fark var mı acaba ?

Thank you - I buy this phone the end of May, after our Switzerland trip.

[@bazlur-Vancouver]

I love Sony and used many Sony products since the 80s. I bought 3 Vaio computers before 2 still with me, but due to capacity I don't use them, used Sony 8mm video camera 22 years ago, Sony portable CD player, MiniDisc, Walkmans, speakers, deck amplifier, and LP players, earphones, etc. I was a Sony man. Don't buy a Sony phone, because of the price and performance, but I know they have made everything with quality stuff.

[@dvdaltizer]

one question i have is about the PRO-I. does the 1V outperform the PRO-I in terms of image quality now? it still seems like that larger sensor would be better on the PRO i

[@ambys2kool]

Does it have wifi calling and Volte properly supported on T-Mobile in the US?

[@Rock2005Star]

[@b3l14l5]

Great review - the best on YT, so far. I'm curious which filter mount/adapter you use for Android phones like this to use ND filters. Pretty hard to find one which is capable of leveraging 67mm of diameter

[@tomas7158]

What a great phone. You did a great job explaining and showing the features of this hightech device. It seems that leap from 3 to 5 are greater than from the first to the 1³. For now im thrilled since i got the Exp 1³. Its older than two years now and the battery are pretty much the same as it was when i bought the phone. Great Work.

I know a lot of work went into this video (as with all of your videos). In depth serious review, very well done!! NO complaints. Would be nice to speak just a little about your overall Android experience. I have yet to hear anything about that it is photos and video and of course we want to know about that since I think most tune in for that. Again though thank you for the review, it ROCKS and so do you!

[@krystofdostal7208]

The camera this year is so good

[@umranraihan]

So good to hear it has less heating issues... So I guess worth it...

[@trinajska]

I sold the last one because of overheating, performance was terrible after longer use, i hope they fixed that.

[@JulianSettler]

The power consumption when using the camera is said to have fallen by around 20 percent with it, and Sony says it has been able to increase the volume of the heat conducting plate inside by 60 percent in order to dissipate heat more quickly.

[@mjjones1045]

There is also a much better chip inside now

[@pixels_per_inch]

Luckily, the garbage made by Samsung 8 Gen 1 is no longer here

[@trinajska]

But still i the thermal’s are fixed this would be a perfect smartphone in my opinion.

[@tgy13]

Great video wow !btw thinking to switch from S23Ultra. But I have questions guys. Everytime should I make manual settings for a capture? Because it's a mobile phone and in our pocket so whenever see something, we want to take out of the pocket and capture immediately. So S23 ultra and the most of them do that. How about 1V? Is basic or full auto mode is also great as manual mode?

[@penn_robotics]

Awesome review, very detailed w.r.t. Sony's strengths. How is the flashlight/torch? Does the touchscreen become unusable or start registering random keypresses in rain/shower/totally submerged? (One of the Nexus phones, 5X or 6P, was the last water resistant phone I can remember that didn't spaz out underwater.) Probably still no glove mode? (for non-touchscreen-enabled gloves) Closest focus distance in the main shooter? Also, hopefully the native alpha support goes all the way to the cheaper & older models e.g. a6000.

[@realavx]

I love how Sony gave 0 foks about the notch cut-outs while other brands are making the notch a big deal for the last five years.

[@Guilefpv]

Can you plug a Playstation 5 to it so you can play games on its 4k 120Hz screen as well as do screen recording/streaming?

Does OIS and EIS work in 4k60fps video recording mode ? Or the device uses OIS only as it was in mark iv ?

[@ManuelBabolinPhotographer]

Great review! 👏 There are four things I would be curious to know about this Xperia 1V. 1. Is it possible to have 48MP shots? 2. Are the photos saved in JPEG or HEIC? 3. Does it support advanced RAW similar to Apple's ProRAW? 4. What color profile are the images saved in sRGB or DisplayP3?

The dedicated shutter button and focus peek is something Apple should add to their Pro phones. (Also would be nice if Apple brought some of the Sony pro apps with the Sony lenses as well, but I doubt that will happen.)

[@josh3326]

Keep waiting for it…… Apple won’t add that. They want their phones to be simple for everyone.

[@tgrb19]

I love my Xperia 1V. I like the Sony photography philosophy. Do not forget the music capabilities either. This one makes for a great Smartphone. When you pull this thing out of your pocket, you really stand out in an ocean of iPhones and Samsung's. The design is straight up classy and conservative, the haptic feedback makes texting a pleasure. Watching Bravia Core content or every other content is a bliss due to this fabulous 4k Display. I was wondering how could this Sony expertise go hand in hand with the old Windows phone since they both like to stand out. Based in the old Nokia camera phones and Windows Phone paired together I think that Sony could really shine in 2013.

I bought a Sony Xperia 1V phone, but when I press to open the camera, it makes a "click" sound. Is this the case with all phones, or is my phone defective? Can you please answer?
