Xperia 1 III vs Xperia 1 IV - Comparison

What changed from the Sony Xperia 1 III to the Xperia 1 IV. I show you all the major differences here.

[@ademturan7137]

Been waiting for this. Thx. Love my IV. Its a little improvement over the iii at best, nothing ground breaking. But my A9 2018 had 600 nits peak brightness like the 1 iii so I wanted the IV to be brighter and thats what we got! Now do Pro i vs 1 IV with heavy photography and videography tests please.

[@FudoCesar]

After watching this video and the camera comparison video. I can truly tell that the new changes and improvements are significant enough between the two models. Is like the fix and improve all the issues than the previous model had. In my opinion, I am pretty sure that anyone who purchased the Xperia 1 IV will not have to change to a new phone in the next two years

[@davidvillatoro3688]

Nice review, really enjoyed watching this, im on xperia 1 ii, awaiting shipment of my 1 iv , the upgrade will feel more substantial for sure

[@josuediaz5607]

I got a 1 iii for $750 mint condition. It is an amazing price for the caliber of phone. Xperia all day everyday

[@ichi2206]

Thanks a lot for this video. III much cheaper than IV, and I’m not sure that improvements worth practically 30% of price.

[@Eric-Wall]

30%!? In sweden a 1 III kosts 12990 krowns and a 1 IV 13990. I dollar is about 10 krowns. Ish. So i whould say it kosts about 1300 dollars. And the IV about 100 bucks more. Weird that it is such a difference.

[@Agumon5]

@@Eric-Wall Interesting, in the U.S. the price differences are usually $200-$300 at least. Currently a sale is going on for the 1 III and its only $650.

[@deborahbreaux2866]

you nailed this review my dude

[@voltaire2001]

Are you making fun of his nails??

[@GianniLeonhart]

Great video! I was actually looking for an in deep review of the phone itself, I'm so tired of reviews where some person's face has more screentime that the hardware itself, I really appreciate your approach here Too bad that the 1 iii is running Android 12, I was hoping to see the differences between 11 and 12 on Xperia phones as apparently Sony has replaced "one hand mode" with google ugly implementation and the top right corner has an unused space for camera/mic notifications even tho xperias have a led light, and i wonder how else Android 12 ruins the Xperia' experience (not pun intended lol) so maybe thats a future video idea? Anyways, keep that awesome content coming!

[@lltechview]

I did already do a video about how Android 12 changed Xperias and also about Android 12 itself and why I do not like it

[@GianniLeonhart]

@@lltechview oh that's great! i will look for it right now! thank you very much!

[@HENJAM48]

Not what I needed to know. I wanted to know about technical specs and how well the USB C port gripped. I started with an XZ. I now have a 10 iii, whixh is great. I don't give a toss about the topics you covered.

[@avenuePad]

I love the white, but the way it has the white border around the phone kind of throws me off. I remember I had the red Nexus 5 from back in the day and it had the red border around the phone, which I wasn't a fan of. I mean it gives it a unique look, but I remember getting tired of it over time. But man, that white colour is really nice. I'm torn. lol. I'm probably just going to wait for the black US version as I'm in Canada, anyway.

[@camtodd5540]

Hi. Just curious on your thoughts with this Sony 1IV vs the Xperia Pro I .upgrade? Or not really?

[@lltechview]

Upgrade in display, vibration motor and sound. Definitely also the zoom lense and seemless zoom. Main sensor and lense is better on Pro i

[@JoyRoy-me4yh]

perfect 😍😍😍❤️❤️

[@kamilwysocki4297]

Have you noticed any difference in volume when listening through Bluetooth headphones between Xperia 1 III, Xperia 1 IV and Xperia pro i? My Xperia 1 IV sounds quiter for some reason than my Xperia 1 III and Xperia pro i with the same audio settings

[@lltechview]

When every sound effect is off I do not have any difference

[@CammieShark]

I'm curious how the 1 IV compares to the Pro I, especially camera wise

[@kazoraiep8014]

tôi tò mò xperia Pro ii sẽ thông minh đến thế nào

[@nsubugawavez]

good video

[@RennieAsh]

I don't like max volume audio tests. The sound is full of compression and is generally an unrealistic quality test as usually you aren't blasting your phone at 100%

[@jeevasundar9589]

Video super,I love xperia phones

[@mortlock36]

Hi, good review, thanks for that - one question: will the Sony Xperia 1 IV drive Sennheiser HD 600 headphones? Of course QuadDac from LG is not there, that's why I'm worried

[@lltechview]

That will be hard. I think for them you need an extra DAC.

[@jjeter7828]

I want the iv but to much for my pocket..lol I'm going get the iii my be next month. I need the US version cause the international was bad when I had the 1 & ii when it came to phone calls very bad.. other then that I loved both.

[@Sorrow1994]

Is the fingerprint Reader on the IV slightly larger?

[@lltechview]

The same size

[@herrwarmduscher5204]

Here in the US, the III is $1000 and the IV is $1600. Is the IV worth the extra $600, in your opinion?

[@lltechview]

Nope. 200$ more maybe but not much more

[@ronavena]

​​​​@@lltechview as I write this, both devices are on sale on Sony's US website: $799.99 for the 1 III, $1,199.99 for the 1 IV. I'm looking to replace my Pixel 4a 5G. Which of these Xperia 1 models offer the best value right now?

[@lltechview]

@@ronavena The 1 IV is the better device. The 1 IIIs price will fall even further. Maybe wait a month or two for the 1 V announcement and see. I cannot otherwise recommend the 1 IV for that high of a price knowing it will be replaced soon

[@inSaNe_44]

What about overheating problem on both of them? Please share!

[@lltechview]

1 III I did not experience any.1 IV the usual everyone is reporting about. Sometimes happening just a few minutes after starting recording a video.

Please pro I vs 1v. Display and cameras comparison

[@SindreS]

1 V (5) is not out, newest is 1 IV (4)..

[@o0junglist0o93]

The 1iv is more refined overall, the pro I takes slightly better pics but it felt more like a concept than a finished product to me.

[@arifmiah1662]

which is better......?reply me please.

[@SpeedMusic302]

Sony 1 iii is the Best i have Sony 1 iii and iv

[@Gadgetibles]

Which one doesn't overheat when you use the camera

[@lltechview]

Both overheat at one point or another. I gave up on both after 34 minutes recording.

[@odinrothschild4249]

I think mk iv is not worth the price when u already have a mk iii. Lets wait for mk v!

[@tomas7158]

✅ This diserves My comment. Im running 1iii since late March and i did all upgrades and A12 is a Joy. My guess or confes is that im behind the screen 3-5 hours in average. Heating issue is at past and it could been a bit brighter. But.. i realize, the phone optimize brightnes, juice so its been a while since i had some regrets. Now i dont. And now i know i can wait for next one. Honstly, i hope A13 is st special bc i Love A12. Great rewiew.

[@wazienwong8744]

Can i know what is the ppi for the 1 mark iii..becuase my 1 mark iii shows only 427ppi density in cpu-z and antutu benchmark..i bought it second hand..because in gsm arena it shows 1 mark 3 is 627ppi..

[@lltechview]

Yeah tools like CPU-Z are not able to show the full resolution of the panel as they run in a smaller resolution

[@nickadm8321]

wow such huge revolutionary changes that Sony made !! the biggest difference is that the 1iv over heats faster now ,now that a huge achievement that the competition does not have great work Sony keep it up lol

[@lltechview]

Hehe. Yeah its a bit of a shame. But the zoom and selfie aswell as the speakers and screen are real improvements that you notice.

[@nextsegment78]

The 1 iii overheats also quickly when you use your phone (up off of standby) and have all options turned on (bt, gps, especially 120hz). And on top of that if you use camera and video and outside temperature is already high. Seems like Android phones don’t care about overall optimisation on the 2021/2 top tier Snapdragon processed phones
