Sony XPERIA 1 V - Incredible Phone But ...

[@ThisIsTechToday]

Whoa. The side by side with the mirrorless camera was wild.

They match pretty close, if you saw it before KZbin compression you still notice better skin tones on the a7iv and that’s mainly cuz I’m recording in 10bit where Xperia is only 8bit

I just got my Xperia 1 Mark V and I totally love it! Coming from a Samsung phone this is like a whole different world, a much higher quality world. I love the way this phone just sits in my hand. It does feel like Sony made it for me! I'm an audio engineer and the quality of the sound and its recordings easily makes it worth it for me. This is an enthusiast phone not for noobs. Get this phone if you are the kind of person that likes to learn and tweak things yourself instead of relying on AI. It is meant for individuals that like to be creative with their tech.

[@LeeZavitz]

I agree. I like that it’s kind of slim in the hand. Plus it has the smallest camera bump from any camera manufacturer. And I love the texture on the back. I wouldn’t even put it in a case tbh

[@bearaesthetixfitness]

Which samsung do you have? I have an s23 ultra, and I reaaally care for taking photos/videos. Can it match expert raw in quality photos? I feel like s23U with expert raw is the best phone camera right now.

My Xperia 1ii was surprisingly robust too, they don't get credit for the build quality. I hate cases I think they take away from the whole intention of the device and Sony has one of the better tactile experiences you won't know it until you hold it. Great device for no case and now it probably doesn't slide off your leg or sofa which mine did and survived many drops

I bought it for the audio not the photo ability. IF you have a large library of music add the 1tb and use the phone to upscale to dsee. You can also listen to lossless music this phone is great for folks that love audio

[@PixWax]

I got this phone thanks to starting into photography with a Canon M50 MKII. I wanted to experience nailing a shot with manual controls and be gone with the (great) post processing my iPhone and Pixels do after each shot. The Canon (though entry level) really helped me get more creative and appreciate just how much there is to photography. The Xperia 1 V was announced and I wanted to dive straight in! Now there is a learning curve, and I am still learning everytime I use it, but I'm having a lot of fun doing so. On top of that everything else about the phone is great! Build, screen, sound and the battery easily lasts me 2days with moderate use and even stretches to 4 days with light use! Seriously, my battery was at 60% and I looked up "based on usage" in the Android settings and it told me 2+ days!!!!

[@PaulTakesPhotos]

The phone is indeed made for folks who are advanced in photography and/or vlogging/videography. I didn't buy the phone but the Sony ZV1f for the simple reason that is much cheaper and does the trick for me. One thing I don't like about the Sony Xperia V is the fact that it only has 2 yrs of security patching. That was also a reason not to buy it. If I look at the features and capabilities of the phone it is amazing, especially for a Sony camera User like me (a7iii and ZV1f). You'd almost wonder if this phone doesn't kill the Sony ZV line?

[@robertzilligen3045]

Slight correction, this phone has two additional OS updates not two years. Which means you will get a total of 3 OSes. The one it comes with and two more after that. Which puts you at 3 years and with 3 years of OS updates it will put you right around the 4-year mark. And I personally would never keep a phone past 4 years.

[@PatriciaHolly]

Everyone is reviewing the camera, which is a great selling point for the phone, but one of the biggest hair-pulling downsides to this phone to me is the use of google photos as the main (and only) gallery. It is not intuitive, and you have to do a lot of manual workarounds to get anything you shot in the pro-video to be editable directly on the phone.

Lastly, I think Sony needs offer better computational photography as its very bad and would make this phone more appealing to non-professional photographers.

The volume of my speakers was turned moderately up and there is quite a heavy resonance on your sound recording. Maybe you could use sound dampening foams or something in your studio to minimize, if not eliminate the resonance in your future videos.

@@timit304 as I said, camera quality is excellent. Very recently we got the new big update with android 14 and the new bokeh effect which is stunning. In everyday use you're not going to experience any lagging and the battery life is very acceptable, 1 and a half day of light usage. Gaming wise, even though I'm not a mobile gamer myself, is great. I tried some big hits such as asphalt 9, call of duty etc and didn't experience any frame drops. You can take a video through the casual camera app, but there are also two more apps just to shoot videos. The camera zoom if great, but not the best, so if you're willing to spy on the neighbors at the next village, you probably need a Samsung galaxy. Also, the display is just so good. On KZbin, Instagram etc, most of the videos are going to be a bit cropped, because of the 21:9 aspect ratio. In my opinion, there is no smartphone that can compare to this one while watching movies, cause most of them are 21:9 ratio as well. The speakers are very loud and clear too. It has stereo speakers, so when watching movies, or videos you shoot, it's just very immersive

[@seeratrafique1459]

Hi, can you do a short video with Newly introduced Bokeh mode?

[@thenikhilray99]

Will you be comparing this with iPhone 15 pro m?

[@stevenchatburn9058]

Wow sony is king in phones and cameras and I'm a canon shooter

[@LeeZavitz]

Nah, Canon is awesome! Actually all cameras right now are great. But Imagine Canon made a phone!?

[@stevenchatburn9058]

@LeeZavitz I'm using an old school canon the 650D with a 50m f1.8 mkii prime lens but after playing on the Sony A6000 I'm leaning more towards Sony now

[@chinitopinoy1726]

Can you post the edited post bokeh shots and some RAWs for us to download so we can take a look?

[@sagovana]

Is it difficult to get the best out of the camera if you aren't a photogrpaher or have experiences with cameras? I am waiting for the mark 6 to come out but I don't really have any experience or much knowledge about the different camera settings and how to utilise them to my advantage, so I am wondering whether or not it is good choice for the layman.

I stopped buying Sony phone when I noticed they are making less durable phones. I had xperia before i forgot the exact model but it was the flagship phone. with regular use I noticed that the camera lens protective glass got some dirt, I tried to remove them by rubbing cloth but to my surprise, it got scratched. That's the time I realized they are actually not using glass but a hard plastic!! What was Sony thinking putting hard plastic on a supposedly premium device? That's the moment I realized that sony is not a premium brand anymore.

That's a huge SHAME having a cheap plastic camera lens cover!!! It's a no deal for me either!!!😮.

Xperia phones are crazy good. Pretty much trapped in the MBP-ipad-iphone ecosystem though 😢.

[@LeeZavitz]

Same haha

[@sidehustlers336]

I been I. Apple since the first iPhone. My. East phone is the Xperia. I’ll keep my iPads

[@derekchuan]

How does this phone pair with Fujifilm for an external monitor?

[@opporeno3pro963]

Please test one plus 10r 5g camera make video 📸 of photography by this phone

[@HeyThisIsAndrew]

I was going to buy this phone but I switched from Android to iOS and it was difficult to justify since I’m so heavily invested in the ecosystem. I’m getting the 15 pro max this week and I hope it can compare to this with the moment camera app.

[@ThereIsOnlyOneRandom]

you'll be disappointed, as iPhone 15 will shoot exactly as 14 pro series, artificial oversharpening and fake HDR. Social media machine, Sony is different league, if you don't mind manual mode then you can shoot better than on iPhone.

[@HeyThisIsAndrew]

@@ThereIsOnlyOneRandom I guess I’ll be disappointed then because I bought it today 😂

[@Llucius1]

@@HeyThisIsAndrew I think the chip this year will still be way better than the previous version. (I guess they fixed the overheat issue hopefully )

[@spaudio6816]

This phone any heating issue? Because I want to buy

[@iLLSinceProductions]

Dear Xperia and Macbook users. What method are yall using to get your footage on your laptop? Image capture doesnt work on my Pro I and the sony app shows everything on my phone ans i dont see an option to filter for new footage.

[@LeeZavitz]

I just use image capture. Works the easiest that way for me. Works on both of my m1 Mac’s

[@guscruz9310]

How do you transfer the files from the phone to your computer for editing? The transfer speeds are horrible and even the directory loading is inconsistent. I have 100+ gb that I need to dump and its just painfully slow! Please help!

[@LeeZavitz]

I have a Mac and just use image transfer. I found it to transfer pretty fast. Not slow. Make sure you are using a good usb cable that’s rated faster. Not all cables are created equal and won’t have the same bandwidth

[@videomavi]

I bought a Sony Xperia 1V a day ago, but when I open the camera, there's a clicking sound. Is it defective, or does this sound happen on all phones? Can someone who owns this phone please respond?

[@streettrialsandstuff]

I've got Xperia 1 III and I have the same sound. That's due to lens movement.
