The BIG Phone Camera Photo Showdown: Pixel 6 Pro vs XPERIA Pro-I vs Vivo X70 Pro+

TEAM SGG PATREON / somegadgetguy Pixel 6 Pro vs XPERIA Pro-I vs Vivo X70 Pro+! Three phones with VERY different photo vibes. It's exciting to compare these solutions as they have similar main sensors. Some of the biggest photo solutions that still fit in your pocket, but once we compare the sensor size, we see that's about the only thing these phones share.
Google, Sony, and Vivo. If YOU were shopping a premium or professional tier phone, which camera vibe would be the right fit for you?

I like the direction Sony is moving. When it's time to say goodbye to my LG V40, I'm getting an Xperia.

[@borcemitev2903]

Get the xperia you will never regret... 21:9 display. Photo pro, cinema pro.. No notch 3.5mm. Only amazing things..

I´m also. But Sony has to make a small(er) device.

[@MemelordSupreme]

I'm on the Xperia train baby! Headphone jack, Expandable slot & Shutter button are all a win for me. The variable aperture is freaking killer too. What else is great is that the other phones are binning down from a 50mpx where as the xperia is shooting 12mpx and producing the same (in some cases better) quality photos. The Vivo does look super promising and would definitely be a consideration over the pixel but getting a hold of one seems like a much harder task than the others. I really dislike the computational stuff the pixel 6 is doing to the photos. Sure it results in some good shots but many times it looks way too fake and fuddly.

[@-_--le3zk]

Well if you dont like smartphone look photos,i think you should invest in a sony camera, specially a7iii,it has worlds better image quality and is still cheaper than xperia pro i

[@searklarak]

It feels like the Vivo X70 Pro+ doesn't get enough credit, appreciation and attention it deserves. The Z* coating, glass lens across all lens as well as the custom ISP works wonders for the most part and beats the other two imo and it certainly delivers despite its zoom performance falling a bit short.

I have a V60, and have been amazed by it's camera performance...no regrets at all. Sometimes I like to compare the abilities of it with my DSLR's when I am in the field... I think I would really enjoy all three of these phones, especially that Sony. Great video!

[@1mlb704]

I'm a Sony guy, I'm also a DSLR > smartphone guy when it comes to photos. I do prefer the more "camera like" processing of the Sony. Still, I've always been really impressed by Pixel processing. As far as point and shoot auto smartphone photography, the Pixel looks like the better choice for most "normies" who probably don't want to mess around too much with manual controls or editing.

[@3KRacing]

My thoughts exactly, thanks for your honest "expert" opinion (I don't own a DSLR camera so you're the pro to me).

[@ZeDarkLord]

I'm honestly really surprised at how "gooder" the Vivo's processing is during the night-time. I'd have also loved to see an option to capture RAW with it and see how that fares up with the RAW files out of other smartphone cameras.

Glad you enjoyed 👍

[@JonSwansonE]

This is a great video, thanks for making it. Another framing question for the choice that I've been asking myself, and that this video helped answer, is "what sort of user do I WANT to be?" I have a Note 20 Ultra, and it takes great pictures, but I don't take nearly enough pictures with it. The process is so whip-it-out-and-bam that I feel actively uninspired to take photos. I took way more pictures on my RX100 ii (that I got rid of because I just never had it on me) because I loved the "let's frame up a good shot right here" mindset I entered with a tool like that. I also loved coming back to the photos and seeing how I could tweak them in post to make them shine. This video proved to me that the Xperia Pro-I is for me, though a real photographer I am not. I pre-ordered the phone minutes after watching. Thanks again.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Congrats on the pre-order!

[@theLGI93]

Why not go for the pixel 6 pro ?

[@JonSwansonE]

@@theLGI93 what does the Pixel 6 Pro offer that the Note 20 Ultra doesn't? Yes the picture quality is better, but the experience is largely the same "whip it out and bam" approach that the Note 20 Ultra uses, and I already didn't have a problem with IQ on the note. I got the Xperia Pro-I and have had it for a week now, no regrets. I've taken more photos in this week that I did in a year with the Note 20 Ultra. It's that engaging from an experience perspective.

[@theLGI93]

@@JonSwansonE okay if I want to go by your logic then what advantage other than the camera does the Xperia have over the note ? Because I can tell you for a fact I used to have a note 20 Ultra and I sold it to buy the pixel 6 pro camera is definitely better the software is better very snappy better battery life speech detection magic erasers among other features that I found useful

[@JonSwansonE]

@@theLGI93 I'm not going to try to talk you out of your purchase, seems like you're happy with it. As far as what the Xperia offers beyond the camera experience (which was the main thing for me), it's a much more grown up version of Android than what Samsung offers. It's very snappy and clean, not the cartoony nonsense you have to deal with from Samsung. Honestly I like 11 better than 12 too, feels more sophisticated. The phone's physical design is really sophisticated too. Picked up the Note after 5 days with the Sony and felt like I was playing with a toy. I don't make that comparison lightly, the Note used to be my choice for best Android phone design until I got this chunky boi. That screen is great too. By some objective measures (like brightness) it's worse than the Note 20 Ultra screen, but it really works for me. Watching cinematic video on it is CRAZY. Arcane, in particular, is almost more fun to watch on my phone than on my LG OLED TV. Reading internet content and browsing social media are both great with the extra length too. Battery life is the same as the Note when new, which is plenty.

Getting into photography starts with a real camera not a smartphone one.

[@abu269]

@@ssaini5028 True... I am actually looking for a startup camera to invest in. But the Sony does have some impressive hardware and software to also suit pro style photography and I'm most likely to be using a phone camera more frequently for everyday use. In that sense, it appeals to me.

You'd better spend other flagship android smartphone and a decent APS-C mirrorless camera with sensor shift stabilization for the price of Xperia pro-i.

[@onepunchbud1472]

I agree. Will probably order one as well. The guy here does not even use all the options with shot time, ISO, focal lenght - he seems to only use the automode. This camera can do so much more. There are some reviews out of actual photographers. This thing is insane - if you know what do to with it.

[@onepunchbud1472]

@@ssaini5028 i have a real one and since it's too big, i dont have it with me most of the time when i need it. The Sony is really interesting for everyone who likes photography. For people who just want a good snapshot on automode this thing makes no sense at all imo.

[@KeithBab]

I really like your take on camera evaluation. One thing that really bugs me about some review sites is that they came up with a set of comparison photos back when phone cameras struggled with even basic daylight photos, and they have never updated. They never bother with trying to take action photos because no camera back then could do it. They don't test focus ability because every phone back then had such a small sensor that everything was always in focus. I think it's time that they get their act together like your videos. Greta as always.

[@johndelabretonne2373]

Gotta say... A really great video! Juan, you are completely in your element here; and it really shows in this video how much you were enjoying yourself. Not even in the market for a new phone right now (a V60 user), but I genuinely enjoyed watching this video, and seeing the detailed differences between these cameras! The Sony seems like the closest thing I've seen to combining my phone and DxO One into the same device. Would love to see how the manual mode of the V60 stacks up against these killer cameras, and to see how to get the most out of the V60 sensor...

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

That V60 is still a tank.

[@Koryuchi]

I would still recommend getting an actual camera if you're thinking about getting into photography! You'll have much more fun and freedom! I'm shooting with a Nikon D300s (a camera released in ~2007) and it still blows all of these phones out of the water + you can buy a used D300 with a lens for about 300$ right now. I'd say save your money (and the environment) and keep your V60 as long as you can, but get a used DSLR. My two cents!

That final night time shot from the Vivo is RIDICULOUS. Just beyond brilliant. That said, I agree with you. If the 6 Pro was available in my region- and if I could afford it, I'd likely gravitate towards it. I'd still salivate at the prospect of the Vivo, but I don't think I'd use all its features as they should be used.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

I THINK that's the right vibe for most people.

[@SupremelyBX]

Is it though? That shot from Vivo resembles nothing close to real life, as Juan himself said that the location itself is super dark. Seems like a weird way to judge a camera, praising it for spitting out an image that is not representative of the actual scene. To each his own, i suppose.

@@SupremelyBX I could take the same night shot the VIVO did (last picture) with a PRO-I/1iii/1ii/5ii/5iii. Will have to use the photo pro app and complete manual settings with a tripod. The RAW image and details that will be acquired that way by Sony is insane. Then can soften up the image with lightroom and get exactly same or even better photo than the VIVO. Catch is, VIVO does it handheld. So for those who don't know how to use a camera to get what kind of shot they want VIVO wins their money. But for peeps like me who wants my photo to be how I want it to be, SONY can take my 1800 without complaint

Exactly. The DSLR is a specialized tool that can be adjusted to fit different situations.

[@lifeisgood7462]

Great review. I like your take on youtuber camera reviews. I'd like to add that if a phone does not have a headphone jack.. it has no value to me no matter how expensive it is.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

LOL I'm always happy to see that energy.

[@Flowingriver]

You’re like a magician who gives you info and then tells you think of a number, write down. Is your number 3 and it is 😂. What a great video.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

OMG that's what I was going for on the stuffed animal pic 😄

[@MehediHasanSizan]

What an amazing Analysis of a camera comparison. Always brave enough to speak the truth. That's why always you're my favourite

[@wademiyataki9221]

Never thought of Honest Abe as a techie…🤔

[@JuanCarlos-ij3xr]

This review is why I subscribed years ago. Reviews that you actually learn something. Not just all flash and specs. Keep up the good work! Juan, is it worth during a review on the current audio situation on any of the new phones? For reference: I have the LG V60

[@liquidmetal35]

For phone comparison instead of stacking. Have a rig with a when with lock points. Like a Ferris wheel with the phones like “spokes” facing out. Take a picture, rotate new phone to previous phone lock point. Never moving the base.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

LOL oh man I should try that ...

[@bobcoco6047]

Outstanding work, as always, so that it's the kind of production I know I'll enjoy independently from the subject (the phones), & want to highlight the unseen courage, certainly motivated by passion & other things, causing the existence of such unprofitable video: tremendous & dedicated effort, for little outcome, in term of views/recognition as much as $$$$ly. In some ways, I see here what I could've ended up achieving my way, yet failed to deliver by not having the courage or whatever else that blocked me so far anyway, but that allowed me to be part of this community, able to focus on the non-normie aspect of it, paying attention to what I believe deserves it while most ppl just won't, which I think can be frustrating; that's why I'm glad to be here & see you as well, keeping the great stuff up, albeit the hard times we're facing, in several ways. Wish you the best, & a wonderful year.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Always remember. We can bring more people up instead of acting like we all have to settle for less because of the lowest "average" users.

[@ushren]

Awesome review. Can you post some RAW files of all 3?

[@fash2314]

Hi, from where I can buy vivox70 pro plus in the UK? I asked official vivo store Uk and they said they won't release the x60 pro plus or x70 series here in the UK. if you buy from outside, no warranty cover and we won't guarantee that it will work or not.

[@Zippyboy93]

I feel that the greatest phone camera is the one you can quickly shoot with and easily access, feels like the Sony checks that mark.

[@RennieAsh]

I also like to have options variety, and Sony sometimes lacks that. At least you get the focus right with a sharp image, I find some of these other phones struggle with closer up depth of field or warping, movement blur. And then Sony has average auxiliary lenses, while the competition has some pretty nice sensors. I'd like to see a phone with high quality ultra wide and zoom lenses, approaching main sensor quality

[@glsracer]

I often shot my Sony Xperia phones at -1/3 EV when taking photos outside to prevent highlight clipping. Same goes for my older Sony a6000 APS-C camera which would always over expose by default. My Panasonic Lumix M43 cameras have better metering by default.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Oh for sure! I almost always need to underexpose for most phones l, but you're bang on with Sony metering.

[@marco.pereira]

Insane camera review. It must have taken you a long time to put this video together.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

It's a bit of work yeah 😅

[@AkinBascombe]

Love The review

[@Karthik-yy7gw]

If manual photography is used well then I'm sure Xperia pro-I is the winner. And I believe you would have used Xperia Pro-i to its greatest potential. Anyway waiting for the video to go Live.

[@rawr4444]

Yes

[@The-Heart-Will-Testify]

So that mean it produces the best results

[@arcsephiroth]

@@The-Heart-Will-Testify without competition with pure manual mode. but you have to know how to use though

[@OeHomestead]

Sony's camera app is brilliant and so much better than the camera app on my Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra.

[@JubileeRM]

All three are absolutely marvelous devices with phenomenal cameras. Without these comparison videos, the regular point and shoot person like myself will always be awed by the pictures his own device takes, providing he has a great one. For me personally, I’d love to get my hands on the Vivo X70 Pro+. Definitely won’t be able to afford the Sony anytime in the near future and the Pixel is basically the go to for an assurance of a good picture. Again, unless I’m a pro photographer, I’d be in pain to see a problem with any of these great cameras.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Here at the bleeding edge is exciting, but that means I hope we'll see some of this tech trickle down in two years. 🤩

[@JubileeRM]

@@SomeGadgetGuy exactly. Great tech has definitely bolted from the stables. Excellent work as usual Juan. Very few are in your league. 💯👊🏽💯

[@jacobdrj101]

It seems the Sony is really not for me... Even if I had the budget... (Not saying it isn't for others)

[@mrcraggle]

For the remote action, can you use "hey Google, take a photo" or something like that?

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Those commands open the camera, but I cant find a command that actually snaps from the rear camera.

[@mrcraggle]

@@SomeGadgetGuy I just picked up a P6P on Monday (after being away from Android for a few years) and found that saying "Ok Google take a photo" takes a photo from the rear lens.

[@OmarSS87]

Just as curiosity. Could you please post photos of vivo and google with HDR turned off to see how both handle without using auto HDR?

[@ConWolfDoubleO7]

I like that you mention there's not a catch all. I got the Sony, but ended up sending it back because while I'm a life long alpha user, I was getting tired of the lack of post processing in photos. Yes the raws are good, but when I just want to take a quick picture of something, I was really feeling the lack of processing. I'm thinking the Vivo might hit a better middle ground for me personally.
