Sony Xpera 1 | Living with a 21:9 phone

[@tonydau1822]

3 Tips! Tip 1: you can scroll through all the open apps by keeping your finger on the pill (little bar/home button) in the navigation bar and move it right and left (still with your finger down) this will scroll through all your open apps, not just the last 2 Tip 2: youtube videos black bars. Now that you have an excellent Xperia 1, you can make your KZbin video in 21:9 ratio using the cinema Pro app, so that we can all enjoy your video on glorious cinema wide format 😉👍 Tip 3: have you tried and 'trained' side sense? You need to practice the tutorial a few time, so that you get use to it and the AI on the phone learn how you do it... After that, it get it first time all the time (even with a gel case on!) . Double side tap for shortcut (I don't use) . Side Swipe down for 'back' button (use a lot in all apps and while browsing) . Side Swipe up for screen split (multitasking). You can define your own app combo (pairs) in side sense setting and apply them with on single tap... Genius! (also use a lot)

Sony needs bigger credit for this amazing phone

[@ZoltanF1LH]

Brilliant thanks for the test and giving us your opinion on the most important aspects of the phone 😊👍 I am not that worried about the height anymore. I like your real world reviews rather than the pathetic effort the big channels give us which is mainly spec reading and sucking up to the brands. I like Sony and finally they seem to be heading in the right direction. I can't stand all the other lookalike phones with stupud notches and punch holes.

[@AndreiSmantana]

Glad you found the video helpful 😁👍

[@VWbobby94]

Great Video!!! Thanks for the pocket test. Would be awesome if you can test out the camera 📸.

[@AndreiSmantana]

Thanks 👍 camera test coming soon

[@onyxxi307]

@@AndreiSmantana Make sure to use Manual mode with HDR on because auto settings are not the best!

[@AndreiSmantana]

Will aim to show both auto and manual 👍

[@onyxxi307]

@@AndreiSmantana OK bro. This phone has one of the best camera's in a smartphone just need some tweaking like ISO adjustment depending on the situation on Manual photography and low light conditions and you'll have the perfect photos. 🙂 I'm sure you will be amazed. Just you need the right settings to show the potential hardware that this phone is capable of.

@dom toredo its the best phone ive ever used

[@Annieareyouokayshamone]

You don't have an Xperia 1 lol

[@LordHezion]

The volume slider and sound profiles being on the side is an Android 9 feature. That and the pill swipe gesture to change between apps.

[@AndreiSmantana]

Yeah, a lot of changes with Android. The pill gestures seem very similar to iOS 🤔😁

[@LordHezion]

@@AndreiSmantana true. 😂 Almost like a copy cat need I say. 😂 ALMOST.

[@andrewdove342]

Thanks for actually demonstrating pocketability, this is super important being a tall phone. To me anyway, doesn't seem like many people give much attention to that

[@kapilbusawah7169]

I'm sure if you're planning on this being a daily, you'll get accustomed to the button layout quickly. I used to own Samsung for 6 years before going to a SONY (XZPREMIUM). At first I was a bit annoyed with no controls on the left side but then I realised I can control pretty much everything I need with only my thumb. I now really appreciate that. It's not a big difference from other layouts but I think more phones should adopt it. Once I got used to this layout I loved it. I can turn on/off my phone, change the volume, open the camera and take a photo with the same grip position. I guess you can say this layout problems you're experiencing now is what I experience when I use another device 😂. But it's all about just getting used to the phone you get I suppose

[@AndreiSmantana]

Yeah, it will just take some time to get used to it 😁👍

[@SirHilary1]

Your back! Where have you been. You missed the XZ3! I have one. Please give me your views.

[@shrimpfry880]

i didn't know i needed a tall phone until i got one. i feel like a god because everyone's insta stories and snaps are letterboxed

[@SpencersStuffTV]

Great overview. I hope you'll cover that cinema pro app! Alot of these tips, no one talked about so this is awesome to see

[@AndreiSmantana]

Thanks michigan1777. Will be covering the cinema pro app really soon. A few people requested that 😁👍

[@SpencersStuffTV]

@@AndreiSmantana Sounds great man! I look forward to it. There is alot of potential in that app. I wish sony would use it as opposed to their primary camera app

[@onyxxi307]

@@SpencersStuffTV I agree but will not hurt Sony to allow Google Camera app for better performance!

[@jordan95hd83]

Great video, Andrei! *The Xperia 1 is quite tall, but going by what I've seen, I love this phone. If that video of yourself at **2:54** was on KZbin, I won't really mind watching a video with a bit of the picture very slightly cropped off. But I do hope that there'll be an eventual update where you can watch videos at full screen with none of the picture cropped off.* *And I love the multitasking with the Xperia 1, and I love that at **5:46** where you can slide between apps by swiping left or right at the bottom of the phone! So cool! There's no doubt that Sony will push out updates which'll improve certain things.* *Can you take pictures with the Xperia 1 in daylight and night-fall and make a video telling us what you think about the photos?*

[@AndreiSmantana]

Glad you like the phone. Yeah, camera test video coming out really soon 👍

[@MacSeoin86]

It's a great device Andrei, my cousin has 1, I had to switch to Huawei P30 Pro as Three dropped support for Sony devices. I'm not disappointed at all, in fact I prefer this over the Sony. I'd like to see an in depth camera test both the camera app and cinema pro please

[@AndreiSmantana]

It's a shame that Three have dropped Sony. But camera review coming soon 😀

[@omarjimenez8895]

Have you considered shooting in a wider aspect ratio? Since excitement is starting to build back up for Sony phones again, phones keep getting bigger, and tall foldables start becoming more common maybe it's time for wider content to be readily available

[@kapilbusawah7169]

I do hear a lot about this phone's gaming performance and that in some games it can play at higher refresh rates (90hz). That's pretty cool.

[@ayarayad6037]

Really! Where did u get that info?

[@LuanNguyen-np5ii]

90hz my ass lol

[@brandonlennon2209]

Yo should try to make some clips using the cinema pro app! Great video!

Hey, you can switch between app by swiping all the way from left to right in navigation bar. Not only for 2 apps.

Hello mate. Just a quick question: Does the Always on Display turn off when the proximity sensor is covered? I mean when the phone is put into a pocket, or turned face down on a table?

Yes, just tested this out. If you cover the proximity sensor it turns off immediately 👍

It doesn't have a magnetic connector port. Why no magnetic connector port like on the Xperia Z line? It has a Micro USB type C port (Intel Corporation's Thunderbolt 3 certified?) But it has no 3.5 mm analogue headphone jack. Nope, sorry. I'll pass.
