13:44 4 hours of non-stop 4K video recording? No wonder why most true reviewers said that the new Xperia phone doesn't overheat like crazy anymore.

[@RYANBdzeasy]

And remember the megabits per sec is double than the other flagship phones out there.

[@FAT8893]

@@RYANBdzeasy Yes, that is correct. When Juan Bagnell did his video torture test on the Xperia 1 v, it recorded a bitrate of 150Mbps, which is 30Mbps more than last year's predecessor.

[@billr6983]

7:30 In this digital age, and with analogue technology swiftly disappearing into the mists of time, it's always neat to hear someone say something analogue based about digital. Like, "filming", "taping", or in this case, asking "Is it rolling?"

[@Kevon420]

Unfortunately “video-ing” doesn’t quite have a good ring to it.

[@lovemademan]

Dearest Sony, instead of giving to these bozos a probe to make fun of, you should upgrade its camera drivers to all 1/5 devices and lower the starting point price to all your devices and everyone will buy them like hot cakes. It's really sad, Sony, that your strategy is just... like this..........

[@thesidneychan]

In my limited film career since 2011, no one ever stopped using analogue terms despite going fully digital of mirrorless. We still say rolling. Even the word "speed" and "SOT - sound on tape" . We call our work "films" even when it's all in a hard drive and not on reel. Some things are here to stay, like "hold your horses"

Despite its new flaws, I'm still impressed by the fact that they've now solved their overheating issue ✨ I think that's what's important when we're talking about Xperia phones because they've always had that issue since the Xperia Z series back in 2011's to 2016's!

[@user-mn2rz1pr4r]

My Xperia 1 V is overheating all the time when the camera is on or when i am simply looking at photos...🥵🥵🥵🥵

[@elyt]

@@user-mn2rz1pr4r You should do a video then to address the issue to a lot of people and to get Sony's attention. And maybe have yours replaced by Sony. Could be a bad batch.

[@anecro]

@@user-mn2rz1pr4r A lot of people report initial instability like that. Sony's phones have a feature that gradually learns which apps you use the most among other things and begins regulating energy more efficiently over a small amount of time. I'm guessing it stopped overheating by now but just in case, keep using it. I never had an issue with this myself (and I have a 5 III, aka the old and worse passive cooling solution with the first qualcomm chip to start the overheating reports heavily), but I believe it.

Sometines I am certain that people at these big companies that make phones and their software, have never actually USED a phone or software before. When you spot a UI issue the INSTANT you use the device, and it is something as piss-easy to fix as simply using a different sound for starting and stopping recording... It just utterly baffles me tbh.

[@Agumon5]

I know this video is sponsored by Adorama, but I just got to say I've had some terrible experiences shopping with them specifically for mobile devices. Both mobile devices I received had defects out of the box. Shipping is pretty damn slow with them as well.

[@NetvoTV]

I prefer iOS as tool plus I want to get Apple Watch Ultra too, but I prefer more natural looking photo and video and I think Xperia is the one that can provide, do you think it is wprth to change and use Xperia 1 V as main phone or better get a camera like Sony A7C / C ii with 20 - 70 mm F4, but phone will always be easier and more often to carry, what do you think? For iPhone, I won't get the Pro tho because I love Yellow color and I will get the iPhone 14 6.1' Yellow, but I not sure should I wait and see if iPhone 15 has Yellow color too! Xperia 1 V focus and market more on camera but is still not over the top in picture quality, highlight still blown out, dynamic range still can't beat computational photography, only if theyable t add more OP while still retain their natural looking image quality, try use hsrdware more than software to achieve and improve their image quality but they only add new main camera hardware and no hardware improvement to ultra wide and tele photo, seem missed change or they want to retain them for Xperia 1 VI or else it will be less selling point for the next model, do Sony ever improve the camera quality with software like Samsung after the phone been released for sometime?

[@Sey357]

SONY ❤️ 🇯🇵 👍 🥇 🏆 👑

Great video! 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 manuel mode?

[@akyerit]

If the next better xperia phone/camera is always coming out in less than a year, then I feel like I'd rather spend that 1400 on an actual camera? There are so many choices. The newer a6700 comes to mind. So much more 'bang for you buck' (which also happens to be the name of my next strip club 😉) and as nice as the camera seems to be on these 1 inch sensors, like an rx100, you can get SOOO much better of a camera/sensor for the amount of money you'd be spending on one of these. Even the rx100 mkVII is cheaper than one of these snd going to be a better camera by leaps and bounds

I think Sony has room for huge improvements to be better than everyone else such as higher refresh rates like 144-165hz and faster charging like 65watts. If the Sony Xperia 1 6 had those specs or close to it would be the phone I'd buy forever.

[@petouser]

refresh rates more than 120 are pretty much placebo, especially on smartphones. There are good reasons to stick with 120 hz. First of all, 120 is dividable by 24, 30 and 60, so it can play all major refresh rates without interpolating. it isn't a gaming phone, so it doesn't need more than 120.

[@dedoyxp]

refresh rate not so important. But some other critics point out about touch sample rate quite low which is much more important. I agree with faster charging like 65 watts, many charger already support the tech, but mostly only for laptops, should've been able to be used for phone too and you can have 65 watt for all device.

[@Sabundy]

the thing that is so frustrating about these youtube reviewers is how they will admit how good the camera system is on the Xperia.....and how camera like it is (and many of these guys are photographers)......as well as how it even produces better results than an iphone......but then they openly admit to being "apple fanboys". Which just totally makes their reviews essentially pointless. Because why are they fanboys of one particular brand yet are brand agnostic when it comes to all other devices and equipment? And why would you be a fanboy (Kai's own words) of a camera system that you KNOW is not the best on smartphones (galaxys, Oppos, Xiamis etc also have strengths over the iphone) and of a company (Apple) who frankly have innovated damn near nothing in years now when it comes to smartphone cameras? You can say what you want about the Sony Xperia 1 mark V ....but it has a physical glass variable lens that moves usuing magnets, and has a dual layer sensor (the first of its kind in any electronic device). That is innovaton, and a lot more than anything Apple has done for some time now.

Good news about the heat management. Before I made Sony my daily driver, I heard the warnings about heat management...but, I thought to myself NO BIGGS because I rarely use my phone for content...well, it turns out my Experia 1 III is ridiculously oversensitive to heat just walking around. In my classic '95 Jeep Wrangler that has barely functional AC, if I drive around town (Las Vegas) on a normal 100º day, within 30 minutes I get a heat warning and not even using it. As an an actual phone, I like the Sony's..but, I am not going to pay the extra $$$$$$$$$ for a phone that is slightly more heat tolerant.

[@theSFCchannel]

sorry but i call CODSWALLOP to that. I also have the 1 iii and I filmed in high temps in MALTA...........not a single overheating issue. I suspect the usual samsung troll here, Mind you..you are a friendly fire and IRA funding Yank, so Samsung trolling is your usual go to.

[@1vegasdood]

@@theSFCchannel Hmmmm...I have had two 1 iii's...the first one I went swimming with in the ocean and Sony repaired but I bought a replacement. Both experience identical overheating warnings just walking around or in my jeep when the temperatures get over 90ºf here in Vegas. I wonder why yours do not experience that. Again, this is not even when I am creating content....but, it might be if direct sun is hitting the front screen either in my jeep or on a table at lunch outdoors. What I like about this 1 iii it is NOT 5G...which I believe is only beneficial to advertisers so they can track location better....the LTE works fine for me. I do miss the non-wireless charging on the 1iii but it is worth the tradeoff to not have 5G.
