I've never took more pictures than when I had my Xperia 1. Since I switched to Apple, it's totally different. Xperia phones give you this freedom no other phones can and it's something I miss a lot

[@thamsanqamajozi2751]

Same sentiment my xz premium died 3 months back and it hard using a different phone cos I've always been a sony guy since the days of sony Ericsson 😔😔 and we don't have sony anymore here in South Africa

Sony DAC for the headphone jack & Cameras 🔥

[@lance_medul]

except Sony is not the only one in the android space that gives you that much freedom. Don't get me wrong I also currently own the Xperia 1 but LG flagships have them beat when it comes to "freedom". They have raw support in stock camera app, manual mode support in wide and ultrawide lens (xperia 1ii above also does now tho), no camera overheating and last but not the least which is important for things like astrophotography, they actually let you open the camera while on standby and not forcefully close it if you dont touch every few seconds.

[@rlaw8658]

3:24 I'd say the pixel got this one. very detailed that it even got the shadow casted by the tree and the sunlight on the pavement and as well as the light reflecting from the frames of the window. How awesome is that processing power of pixel. On the other hand, Sony captured what is the photographer actually seeing but in less details (shadow on the pavement is not that detailed) but it's more natural. just wow.

[@PjXu98]

I also prefer Pixel's camera. With the Sony, they can make some nice shots but most of the time I think it's too dark, the low light/night shots look bad and the video stabilization is horrible. Not worth its price if you buy this for the camera.

[@spartanmtb2640]

Everyone goes on about the price. Yes it's expensive! So is iPhone and Samsung and pretty much every other phone out there. But at least Sony tries to put some of that money back into R&D and is not afraid of taking some risks rather that copy pasta apple who plays investor's safe game for a decade now. Well done Sony. You got my attention ....and money.

[@TheUnlockr]

The price is not higher because of R&D it’s simply because of what I said. Sony is aiming for business users mostly and selling less units at higher margins to make money. Period. Their last earnings report confirmed this as this combined with cutting a ton from their mobile division allowed them to be profitable. The price is higher but if you have an expense account and are lumping it in with the other equipment you bought (which is all much more expensive) then who cares 🤷‍♂️ I don’t mind that they’re doing that btw but it needs to be noted is all. And it’s definitely getting better and more justified with each new Xperia (just not enough yet for my needs but might be for yours!

[@spartanmtb2640]

@@TheUnlockr I think you missed my point. I only partially agree with you about the target audience for this phone. There are a lot of other people who will be interested in this phone who are not business users. I'm not a business user. I simply like photography, have a Sony Apsc which I love and after being sick of OnePlus I was considering an iphone. Now, iPhone with 256gb and similar screen size costs pretty much the same as Xperia 1 IV and probably more for I14. Yet, Xperia is more comfortable to hold (big one), doesn't feel like a heavy brick that pulls your pants down, has an SD card slot, better camera that gives you natural looking photos and a ton of control, more customisable OS and headphone jack. Anyway, what I'm saying is that a) price isn't any higher than the top dogs in the market Apple/Samsung. Yet you get more features b) Sony is introducing some new features e.g. zoom camera so share of the profits must be going toward it. I'm really sick of companies just blindly following apple's investors first, money grabbing mindset instead of thinking what customers want. I don't mind paying X if I know I'm getting Y not just filling someone's pockets

[@ronniejaye1]

I would love to see more videos where phones like this are used in full manual mode against the the full auto queens , like Pixels and iPhones . I think that is the most fair way to test phone cameras . That way you aren't testing just auto settings prescribed by the manufacturers but you're truly seeing the very best out of each phone camera . Too many supposed pros just use the Fisher Price setting because they have no clue how to use a real camera and it's abilities in order to get the very most a device has to offer. Even I can see basic tutorials on how to use the manual settings would be a big hit for budding photographers . Far too long we've never actually gotten the best information on our devices . All we ever get are Fisher Price settings and hope for the best. The actual best device doesn't actually win that way. I want to start seeing the VERY BEST shots and videos these devices can possibly produce.

Hi. I am watching many reviewers showing off 4k 120 fps in low lights and also basic shots with EIS with kinda shooting on less than 1/100 which is terrible because every single shot is motion blurred and after the EIS does it things it happens to watch a terrible linear blurring by X/Y axis which is terrible. Please guys use more than 1/100 shutter with this kind of tests!

[@janne303]

[@Chemy.]

Something I feel from Sony and their phone strategy is that they pack their devices with some camera features so they show to other manufacturers that something can be done and therefore, Sony sells more sensors, also that zoom feature was packed on Olympus cameras some years ago, now is getting smaller enough to fit in a phone which is amazing. as always liked, missed the bloopers.

Biggest question I think is OS update support, the least it should be 4 years of Android updates + security updates after that. If it's less than that, it not only hurts sustainability, but aslo does not justify the price regardless of how amazing the hardware is. Anyway, Sony phones look spectacular and I dream to be able to be an owner of Sony phones again, headphone jack, beautiful design direction and probably philosophy not to go with trends every other manufacturer goes make me wanna get a Sony phone. But the prices are a bit bonkers, not talking about this pro one, even Experia 5 series are pricey where I live. Happy to see Sony phones making waves again!

[@MattisProbably]

I'm a photographer, I do everything manually on my camera except for focussing. My current phone is a Galaxy S22 Ultra that also lets me do everything manually through Samsung's Expert RAW app. But to be honest? I don't bother. The phone does a good job with the regular camera app. I can maybe squeeze out a tiny bit more from the RAW files in Lightroom but this negligible difference simply isn't worth the effort. As for the zoom range of the Xperia 1 IV, it's impressive from a technical point of view but the range is so tiny, it doesn't really seem worth it to me. It gives me the impression that they just did it to be the first on the market with a zoom lense.

[@EthanWord]

I disagree that they aren't trying to compete with the bigger companies. Sure the phone has certain things catered to a specific group, but it excels quite a bit at most other things too, battery life, gaming, display, speakers, etc..... which are all specs that do matter. It competes quite well with the high end phones from other companies like the S22U, albeit at a somewhat higher price.

[@danielkudo4800]

I love your video style, but you missed the opportunities to use the manual mode of camera and video because the other photographer can make the photos and videos look much better with manual mode, and compared it with other flagship with AI camera, ofcourse it will look worse for the average consumer

[@SupremelyBX]

If you are a content creator, having your phone act as a modem for live streaming your alpha camera would seem to justify the price. If you are the type that would actually use all the features, i think it's well worth it.

[@TheUnlockr]

I agree that that’s probably the only use case that makes it worth it (as I illustrated with the NFL example). I personally don’t live stream and don’t need to do it outside if I do so doesn’t make sense for me but if you make money from live streaming and can justify it as a business purchase then yeah sure! (Again like I said in the video). Also though you can get the Pro-I now for $1200 and get that same ability 🤷‍♂️ - amzn.to/3a683t2

You are one of the very few people to do justice to a Sony phone review. You really are spot on in highlighting the strengths of this phone. The only point where I feel you are wrong is at the end when you compare prices with the Sony Alpha cams. That comparison is just not relevant coz for double the price you also get a full action packed smartphone, a gorgeous 4k display, Sony's reality audio, a capable gamer and a ton of other pluses. And finally as they say... no one phone is perfect, so I was hoping you should have mentioned that overheating issue that plagues this gem.

[@thedark4301]

Even in my dreams i will pick Sony ❤️.

[@LandIsFlat]

As the owner of Xperia 1 ii and iii, there are several issues with Sony phones: 1. Camera - the photos are too dark and too dull. If Sony boosted the brightness a bit and added a bit more vibrancy, it would take better photos. 2. Camera - focus. Sony is the only phone I had that consistently take pictures slightly out of focus. It really sucks when you take a couple of portrait shots, and then open the image on a PC to find out that the face is blurry. 3. Price - considering that Sony offers only a mid-range quality of camera, its price is astronomically high. Sony offers a better form factor than S22 Ultra. However, considering that the camera tech is not as good, and everything else is pretty much the same, paying extra $500 for Sony doesn't make sense.

[@DemonOfEndor]

sony are made for professional camera users, it can take outstanding pics if you learn how to set it. its not for general population who wants instant results.

[@LandIsFlat]

@@DemonOfEndor You couldn't come up with a more lousy excuse. First, it doesn't offer any of the advanced features other camera apps have. Second, aside from forcing you to spend an hour before taking a single shot (something that takes 5 seconds with other phones), these advanced settings offer little to no value - the resulting images are marginally better at best, and would be worse than auto settings in most other cases. These "advanced" settings are nothing more than a gimmick for people to feel like they have pro control over the camera, when they don't. Pro photographers use Sony cameras because they know mobile doesn't give you the same results.

[@DemonOfEndor]

@@LandIsFlat that is a lot of words for "I don't know how to handle a camera"

[@LandIsFlat]

@@DemonOfEndor Nope - just posturing on your end to make it look like something isn't what it is. All these settings don't produce better images, just take time to tweak them without any tangible improvements. Only people who want to appear as if they know something others don't mention them.

[@DemonOfEndor]

@@LandIsFlat And yet people who actually use professional settings get stunning images with this phone and there are plenty of videos proving it on YT. Sony is not consumer oriented and always was professional oriented. You mean to tell us that a company which is known for producing one of the best, if not, the best tv, cameras would give a mediocre camera on their phone? Call us when Samsung or Apple gets to produce such things which are used in movie studios to this day with utter success. You are giving out mediocre arguments against this phone because you are unable to use its settings. If I would get into a more complex discussion with you about the camera you would be unable to even understand what I am talking about. Enjoy your unnatural, supra saturated, ready-to-go camera that most phones have today for people not bothered enough with photography complexities. (because when was the majority intelligent enough anyway?) Just showed you are not a pro let alone someone who understands photography. I await for you to give descriptions of camera settings and other particularities in the meantime and then we can talk with the same language. Until then, go for something any r*tard can use today because it does everything for them so they do not have to use their brain much - Like Samsung or Apple. If you want a camera that makes night look like day because of too much brightness, go on. But do not talk trash of something that is beyond your aptitudes just because. LOL, of course professional photographers would rather spend 1k on a camera if that is their job rather than a phone. But the phone comes AS CLOSE as it can for a phone to the quality of the Sony cameras. but it is STILL a phone. Of course a phone wont even compare to a camera whose PURPOSE is to make photography. And yet, there are plenty of phone photographers who still use Sony. Even regarding tv's, same issue: Samsung gives out supra saturated but not very detailed, while Sony gives out natural colors and high definition. Well, what can you expect out of japanese quality vs Korea made in China? Sorry, Sony is not for Instagram influencer types or average people who prefer unnatural pictures. There is a reason Sony is a name in the minority who knows quality and not the majority. Majority is never right.

[@SachaObado]

Love the design and the features. It's way out of my price budget.. as you said sony is targeting a niche market of professional content creators that have the budget to buy cameras

[@dodofofoskkskskskss1331]

Wow xpeia camre mind blowing

[@RennieAsh]

5:30 we could have that now if people didn't complain about a large camera bump :)

[@smooth37]

Do you have a 5G connection on the phone? If so which carrier?

[@peltekechum5215]

Nice. If it is an iphone, lens flare would be everywhere.

[@jubayel1mshorts432]

Thank a bunch for your honest review... I hav a question? Which camera and lens you using for making this video

[@llvllorpheus]

@5:07 I think the Sony is quite terrible completely lacking detail (actually contradicting the narrative). It is especially obvious when looking at the lawn but also visible when looking at the leaves... The same issue seems to continue @6:36 The dark area (lower right corner) is completely lacking detail (the leaves are not even visible). Please someone confirm that they can see the same. Which brings me to my question: was auto (basic) mode used to take this set of pictures?

It’s now available for £999… worth it at that price? Currently own an iPhone 15 Pro Max and am not impressed with the cameras especially the 5x one…

In Socialist Singapore it cost 1.5k USD and it comes with WF-1000XM4 Black and Xperia 1 IV Leather Phone Case.

[@EinnorX5.1]

well done to Sony for the features but unfortunately am going to return. mine. the heating up problem is worrying to the life of the battery. I hope next year theie offering will deal with these problems better

[@veryscousemike7822]

Front video looked quite blurry which is shame as for the most part it looks really good

[@Vishnucpk]

Good detailed വീഡിയോ

[@poodlemeister22314]

I really have to wonder why they have review units out so early. They must be super confident in their software updates that most of the aggressive problems with it currently are taken care of That being said, if the software side of the camera gets as good an update as the rest... Well, it's going to be an absolute hit. I'm glad Sony is finding its niche market with this phone, and otherwise not compromising for a broader audience

This guy is down for the revolution.

[@AhsanAli-oi8sz]

And i also appreciate your work thanks brother may ALLAH bless you them you want.

[@clemente111]

The price is actually justifiable considering it comes with 512gb and expandable memory.

[@Ron96577]

Coffee ✅... Love it!

[@TheSunnySuttons]

When you were sitting down at Industry City and talking to the camera, were you filming on the Sony Xperia IV?

[@TheUnlockr]

When I film on the phone it says on the screen that I'm filming on the phone. If it doesn't say that then I'm not filming on the phone.

[@HYEOL]

I search for "xperia 5 iv" but youtube gives me this result 😒

[@TheUnlockr]

Feel like that makes a lot of sense. You searched for a device that doesn’t exist and KZbin showed you the device that does that if the Xperia 5 IV ever does launch (which is questionable at the moment) it’ll have a lot of similar features with this phone 🤷‍♂️

[@HYEOL]

@@TheUnlockr I dont complain about youtube, I am dissapointed with Sony

[@NizarNoor]

omg I want that Nutella Bombolini. Looks bomb

[@TheUnlockr]

Same lol

[@iello911]

Thanks for another interesting review - both the phone and the tour (found another place to visit next time i am up in NYC). I do believe Sony makes phenomenal phones (I LOVED my Xperia Z Ultra when it came out), and this one is no exception. Price is actually not as outlandish as one may think, considering what you get (my Fold 2 was about the same, and the only advantage it has is the folding feature). While i still much prefer to use REAL cameras when i take pictures or videos, this one would be an outstanding backup for when you cannot carry your pro gear along. I may have to consider getting one - if i can adjust to a non folding device again! P.S.: Small advice: MAGLIA is a difficult word to pronounce correctly for Americans (the GL sound does not exist in the English language), and so most people will say mag-lia. Instead, try to think of it as the spanish LL (as in tortilla, for example), and you will sound nearly perfect! P.P.S.: Always appreciate seeing side by side examples of images, but unfortunately the limitations of the media make them less useful than they could be. Unless there are drastic differences in the output, most camera phones today will produce very similar pictures...
