What case is on it in the first vid
I used the Spigen Rugged Armour I believe.
At the moment they are around the same price as RTX 3060/4060 on Amazon AU. $470UAD
Bargain price. Can be had cheaper too.
Not as blue as I wished 🥴
Same 😭😅
4060 or A770 in competitive fps gaming?
I'd probably go Nvidia just for driver reliability
Well, I'm building my PC with 12600k with DDR5 and I want a graphics card that will age well. Can you recommend one?
I think either the A770 or if you want more grunt go for the 7800 XT. Go 4060/4070 if you really need those extra features.
@@GroundedTech The thing is that I have 300 dollars and I want to know which is the best option for that price, the ARC 770 or which other one.
A 4060 maybe as the other option. But I think an A770 with 16gb RAM is the way to go though.
@@GroundedTech What do you think about the Rx 7600 xt vs ARC a770, which would you choose?
@eltiopoder I'd still go for the A770 personally, which I did of course.
It seems like there is an internal management conflict inside Sony mobile right now. Half the people point out how they haven't been selling that well and want to go mainstream: "see, even MKBHD tells us things we should have done all these years" and the other, more conservative side that wants to keep the niche of customers and the kind of niche phone that it is: "look, our customers hate it now, we should revert with the apps and the whole theme should remain pro photography/videography!" And of course the customers are caught in-between that conflict and feel as confused as the engineers at Sony are right now. For me personally, I couldn't care less about the pro apps. The phone looks great on paper and the reviews show as such. There is still a lot of improvement the team has to do but one thing they shouldn't do is trying to keep the phone the "pro photo/video phone". If you want a pro photo/video they have their Alpha cameras and whatnot. Instead the phones should be about bringing their Alpha technology to the masses, not containing it. That would work much better both in marketing and in sales. I know I would buy it in a heartbeat. Instead I'll be holding my Xperia 5 III for now and for the first time ever (since the Sony Ericsson K750) I'll be looking at other options, which there are a lot of out there. Which is sad to say but I'm not very confident Sony will be improving much towards where they should be.
If they try to go after the iPhone/Galaxy crowd they will definitely die off. Having that niche is what kept them going. I have another video coming soon for this phone. I'll be moving on from it even though I like it as a phone.
@@GroundedTech I believe going a bit more mainstream, not necessarily with the specs and features but with the marketing and branding, will do wonders for Sony mobile. They should develop a better auto camera app, but they should keep the pro apps as is for that crowd. No need to throw them out, they're already developed very well! Sony phones have to do with headphones and the 3.5 jack that most phones now ditch. Bring back the Walkman branding for it and release a special black and orange edition. They have the PS division. They should work with them to have certain features to enjoy when paired with a PS console etc. There are myriads of things Sony can do to turn this around, yet they don't. They have customers in other divisions that if their phones were paired with they would be much better in both quality and features which would translate to sales. Sony is the only company not exploiting their strengths properly and why it's a frustrating experience being their customer.
@Ak1r0 that's the thing that irked me most, removing the Pro apps altogether. And honestly I really love using the 1 VI day to day. Just wish they had done more with the telephoto.
how is the A770 versus the 4070 for gaming? old and new games
The 4070 is obviously going to push much higher frame rates, but the A770 is at 100+ fps in most games. In terms of new games I haven't hit issues. They're much better at getting drivers out on time these days. In terms of older games I play stuff like Supreme Commander and Warzone 2100 without issue. There isn't one game I haven't been able to run that I could run on the 4070.
What is to say that the card was the issue with you lockups, I have had no issues at all
Because I ran the system with an Nvidia card before and it never happened. Just because I've had these issues doesn't mean others will of course.
I recently upgraded to the Motorola razr 40. I love this phone, and the fact I do not need the best phone on the market. Also, I do not buy a phone for the camera as long as the camera is decent enough is good for me.
Sounds perfect for you! Glad you like it. I'll have the Razr 50 tomorrow. Will be interesting to see how things compare.
I like this review of yours.. thanks! 🙏❤
Thank you so much Vivek 🙏🏻 I'll have this year's model in tomorrow!
A great phones by sony
It's a good phone other than the overheating issues.
How many OS updates??
I think it's three years. Not entirely sure so worth checking. So there's at least two to go. In all honesty Android versions don't change that much currently.
I have from new and still use my Huawei p40 pro. 4 years old and still captures amazing photos. Unfortunately an upgrade is called for mainly due to lack of updates now from Huawei but what to replace it with is a tough call for me. I photograph landscapes and I don't like Samsung as they seem over saturated /processed, Google's pixel has mixed report's and as for the other top flagship's about well they all have good and bad points. Camera's good video's rubbish or vice versa.. I'm torn between spending close to grand on a camera on a phone or just buying a decent 2nd hand camera lol just buy a dumb phone instead...
I've been in a similar mind tbh. I was thinking about camera and I do already have a Lumix G100, but the thing for me is that when I'm taking pictures it's often at random times when I wouldn't have a camera with me, so I always lean towards phone. The Xperia this year just isn't as good as it should be, partly hardware and software (my review is coming soon). If I were to buy a phone it would be either the Xiaomi 14 Ultra or an import like the Vivo X100 Ultra or Oppo Find X7 Ultra. There should be more options in the next few months so I would maybe wait and see what comes along.
@@GroundedTech Thank you for your reply my friend. I thought I was the only one thinking this way lol. There's an amazing choice with phone's these day's and yes they all have awesome cameras attached to them but a £1k is a lot of money to put down on a phone that'll be outta date in 6 months. I honestly believe I maybe heading towards a compact camera like a Sony rx100 or similar. Easy to pocket and better quality photograph's. Less chance of it going out of date as quick as phones do.. Anyways best wishes to you and yours buddy 👍👍👍
@davidbuchanan3374 thank you very much. Appreciate that. Only thing I would add is that these massive camera phones coming along will last years. What I'm doing is running something as my daily driver phone like a Pixel or my incoming Moto Razr 50 and then having the other phone in the other pocket for photography. Will be importing something soon to see how that goes 😄
@@GroundedTech 2 phone's eh! People will be thinking your a drug dealer lol 🤣😂👍👍👍 I see Google/Samsung etc giving Upto 5yrs updates that's brilliant but what will the camera's be like on new models then. Kinda defeats the purpose of holding on to a phone that long. Anyways I've time to decide on what I'll do. My wife said wait to see what Santa brings lol more new underwear and socks and no camera🤣😂. Best wishes again to ya buddy from the Giants Causeway here in Northern Ireland 👍👍👍
@davidbuchanan3374 haha well say now you expect a full frame camera for Christmas 😂 All the best to you too. If you ever do decide come back and let me know, but I may have some phones you'll be interested in over the next few months 👍🏻
HI, great review, I understand OIS but does your 1 vi rattle ? and if it does can you explain it to a non tech head like me, because I hate the constant rattle when I move the phone from desk to ear. Any good thoughts. PMC
Yeah the rattle is the OIS. Get it on many phones.
HI really enjoyed your review and agree with your camera comments. Can you give me the heads up about the rattle which appears to come from within the phone when moving from side to side, I know about OIS but this rattle is constant? any thoughts, Thanks PC
It could also be the telephoto because it's a moveable lens.
@@GroundedTechdoes yours rattle when you shake it??? I feel mines faulty, thanks for the reply
@philipmc8246 it does. Definitely not faulty. It's quite common.
@@GroundedTech thanks so much for the advice your a star 👍👍
@user-ru8vp5ch7y anytime 👊🏻
Nvidia really needs to cut their prices in half.
Would be nice, but they'll only cut prices if people stop buying their GPUs.
Anyone tried ARC A770 in Davinci Resolve or/and Adobe Premiere Pro? What is the actual performance? Does it worth buying for video editing tasks?
It's really good is all I can say. Used it in Premiere Pro a lot recently as part of my new job. It has been perfect.
@@GroundedTech thank you for the answer! Wow, sounds really good! Can I ask you few more questions? 1. How silent it is? 2. Does it stop the fans when there is no tasks? 3. Are you satisfied with the rendering speed in your work with Premiere Pro? 4. Did you switch to AV1 codec completely for the new projects?
@colibri_studios you can hear it whir up a little bit when you start the render otherwise it's fine. The card does use more power when idle compared to other cards but the fans don't go crazy. Multiple power modes help. Performance has been nothing short of stellar. AV1 encode is excellent. However what I would say is if you want it for AV1 you can get a cheap A380 for that work and it would do nearly as good a job on a fraction of the price. A750 a great option if you want extra chops for gaming. Having the A770 with 16gb RAM is nice though.
@@GroundedTech thank you! Your video and advice are very useful and important! Yes, well I hear a lot that 8Gb of VRAM is already not enough for tasks like color grading and noise reduction in Davici Resolve so I thought 16Gb of VRAM is what a video editor must have. Among the 16Gb GPUs A770 has no competitors in its price range for sure. Even way more expensive 4060TI 16Gb shows pretty disappointing performance and 4070 12 Gb I simply can't afford. So I figured that A770 would be a good compromise for my work and some future proof. It's just some part of me is still scared with all those negative comments - people complain about drivers instability and that the product is still raw. So some part of me still wants just to get a 4060 and not to worry about such things. But in the same time I feel a challenge to take a chance and to get more. So having experience with both Nvidia and Intel what would you recommend?
@colibri_studios I would recommend picking up the A770 no problem. The issues people talk about more so are in relation to gaming and tbh I think I've had a minor issue with one game. It's the way to go.
Glad i went with 7800xt nitro + And Clevo pe60 i9 13900h 4070 140w mobile. Still a 770 is a great 1080p / 1440 card for the price. Also this model is hard to get right now.
Nice. Honestly the main reason I didn't go AMD was because the 7800XT wasn't available at the time.
lol not sure why you blame missing features in davinci on Nvidia when other free video editing software offers the option to export AV1 with Nvidia cards. Also getting over 100fps in all your games, at what resolution, which games? Yeah i get it, it sucks going from 4070 to A770, but stop lying to yourself and others.
It doesn't suck actually. And I'm lying to nobody. Nvidia aren't going to sk your dk for defending them chap. Grow up.
Hey man, how is it now?
No idea these days. Wanted to pick it up again to review now but so expensive.
Hi, thanks for such an honest and straightforward review. Did you use the standard settings for video recording or tweak them as it looks a little washed out to me and like theres an overly white layer overlapping the video. Im no video guy so just saying what it looks like to a layman. I've been away for a few years from sony and thought about coming back but i dont ever feel convinced each year i eagerly come to look at the latest models sadly.
Hi there. Thanks. It was using the S-Cinetone colour profile which does make it look more that way. I'm taking the phone away on a trip soon and will have a more in depth review afterwards including more footage in the standard profile. Hopefully the new camera app update and Android 15 aren't far away.
@@GroundedTech awesome can't wait to see!
I bought the Asrock Challenger A770 16GB 2 fan model about 6 months ago to go into a Lan Party style ITX case and it runs everything I throw at it in 1440P, well over 100FPS in any game I am in. I haven't had any real issues with older games.. I also play tons of older MW games, MOH, Homefront, Diablo 3, Skyrim with mods, and haven't haven't see any strange issues. Perhaps ignorance is bliss as I bought the card for a Lan Party Machine that my daughter was using for Baulder's Gate 3 until we set her up with her own build. I have AMD, NVIDIA, and Intel in my house, with a mix of processors. Comparing it to my RX7800XT 16GB and my 4060 16GB, I wonder why I didn't just buy 3 A770s to be honest. I would have saved myself a ton of money and been just as happy. Since I don't edit videos and such, I really don't see any benefits from that side of the house.
That's interesting. Thanks. I think we have a habit of buying far more than we need. Like you say it does the job quite nicely.
@@GroundedTech Like you, I wasn't ready to take the plunge on the Intel's at the time of buying my AMD and NVIDIA cards. After I had those in place, it was less of an issue to "take the risk" on the A7790 and it worked out for me. I am quietly waiting for Battlemage, if they are half the card I am hoping they are, I will replace the AMD and NVIDIA cards. I would do it now, but I really want to see the Battlemages first.
@lynnjr457 yeah for sure. Shouldn't be too long to wait now. Hopefully I can pick it up and make a similar video to this but maybe with a little more detail. I'm not used to covering PC stuff! Lol
@@GroundedTech It was a good video, you should do more. Best of luck!!
@lynnjr457 thank you. I'll definitely take that advice into consideration 😄
Is it worth upgrade from rtx 2070 super to arc 770
I would say so.
Seems like a great midrange device. Great video btw 🫶🏻
Thanks Alexis

Damn right it is 😁
I don't respect Sony for doing that to the customers charging a lot for a phone that doesn't compete very well to the other mobile phones that show slightly more better pictures and videos and this suppose to be a new model for this year I am very disappointed with Sony as a customer who likes and loves Sony phone's I have the Sony mark 1 4 and now the Sony mark 1 6 come on Sony man if you don't keep up with the competitors Sony will be left out of the game and soon no one will buy their products their volume of sales will drop a lot so I agree with your opinion of the camera sensor they should use newest parts and upgrade the model better no excuses at all Sony even the slightly cheaper phones have better camera quality then the new Sony 1 mark 6 not very happy at all it's a bit sad for me Sony as ok et me down 👎👎
Don't get me wrong I still really love this phone. But the telephoto is a huge letdown. Camera software UI and having less features is just unacceptable tbh.
@@GroundedTech you what I really agree with you I just feel like the people at sony does not listen or take it considering what the buying customers want they are so quick in charging this amount of money for a phone that's a Bit old technology inside there phone someone needs A wake up call at Sony... I just can not get my head around this at all it's a rip off And mega disappointment For Xperia phones and a insult too.. I would love Sony to read these comments and take everything in because I just love Sony it different and unique from the competitors If can you let Sony knows how you really really feel man Because I am with you all the way and I will back you you right in every angle peace my man👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
@carltonslaine7756 same. I love Xperia. Nothing else like it out there but they're really diluting the brand.
My sony 5mark4 is showing green line issues😢
Oh no
Thanks for the review written about things that many folks actually care about. I've had this phone since it was released as my iphone came up missing. My only concern was that I cannot open and close it with one hand like say back in 2008 I could easily do with the Nokia. The camera is not an issue for me because if I actually want to take quality pictures I have a very nice Olympus for that. I enjoyed your take on all aspects of the Razr and will look forward to more of your reviews.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate this and glad you like it so much. I recently released a review on the Razr 40 Ultra. All being well ill have the 50 series in soon to cover as well.
@@GroundedTech I just read a review of the 2024 and I guess I should have waited and bought it from Consumer Cellular for their sell price of just 399. They will give me almost nothing for my 2023 even though I bought it in October. The new one has a better hinge and display and some other features. Oh well, I'm okay with this 2023. Take care.
@1remjr you can definitely run this for a while if you're happy with it then upgrade in a year or so. Should be some really good 50 Ultra deals by then. All the best.
Great Video! I bought my Sony Xperia 1 VI 2 days ago and I luv it. 🙌🙂📸
Glad to hear it 👍🏻
Thanks for the review. I'm up to change my old Sammy and wondering between Pixel 9 and some folding phones like 40 ultra of Flip 5
All depends on what you want to prioritise. If you want the best point and shoot camera around with a bunch of AI shenanigans and solid hardware then the Pixel is a great shout. If cameras aren't your thing and you just want a good communicator device that's more compact and fancy looking then something like the Razr 50/50 Ultra are worth looking at. Wouldn't advise the Z Flip series just because the outer screen seems less useful. Razr far nicer to use in general.
Great review, sounds like a really solid device. The shots you have from the main lens are cracking. 💯 Agree the colour looks gorgeous too. OnePlus are ones to watch 😎🔥
Ha fancy seeing you here. I like the phone a lot, but no RAW mode kills it off for me.
@@GroundedTech yeah that is frustrating, I could live with it but it's frustrating for the times you want more a larger file to edit
I have a couple of Arcs, but I don’t use them for gaming. Why downgrade to less compatible games and lower graphics performance if you don’t have to? I don’t understand the logic.
I think I explained it in the video.
I was considering the Samsung flip 4 but found out that has issues with the screens. That's what's making me think of the Razr 40.
My other half just had the Flip 5 and in all honesty I thought the front screen use and software was poor.
Someone's selling the Razr 40 on ebay and I'm considering it... I currently have the nothing phone 2a which I've had for a few months. But I really like the flip and the wireless charge feature. I miss wireless charge. My last phone that had it was the Nokia Lumia 1520
Lumia 1520 👑 If you do get a Razr my honest advice would be to get the Razr 40 Ultra or either of the new 50 models. Will be much better and last much longer too.
@@GroundedTech I don't really care for the extra screen and less battery of the ultra version and 50/ultra. This is why I was looking at the 40 non + version
Fair enough.
Hey man, I like your review. I share the same feeling about the small outer screen to reduce distraction. But can you comfirm that if it's possible to do google pay while it's closed?
I used it closed on the Ultra. All you have to do is unlock it and tap.
Ill buy an ATI Rage 128 for my daily pc before I would ever give Nvidia a dime.
🔥😄
This model is notorious for having green line problem. I bought two used Japan units and both ended up green lines. Does 5iii has green line problem as well?
I would expect so as I think it's the same panel.
damn it was -2 where u at ..... any updates is it still worth it ?
England 👍🏻 ...tbh if you want to try a Fold this is a good place to start.
I bought a 2nd hand one.... it's a steal.... Just to try out the flip experience.....totally worth it.
Nice one. Glad to hear it. I'll be reviewing this year's models soon enough.
What about the foldable display, does it damage or pixel dead from the crease area
Love it
Same!
I bought a Japan used unit last Dec, and it developed green lines in April. Then I bought another unit immediately and after four months the green line also appears in my second phone. Can't describe how frustrated I'm now 😢😢
That's crazy unlucky.
Makes me want to try a One Plus again. Loved my OP 2 and OP 7 Pro!
If you wanted a solid every day phone this is the one.
First time in a while a OnePlus review has made me feel like OnePlus has lived up to the "flagship killer" name. Not since the likes of the 3T possibly. Great review GT!
Thanks man. Yeah they seem to have nailed it. I'm eyeing up the OnePlus 13 now.
This is an amazing phone, I had it for just couple of days with it, and I was blown away with how good it is!
Stupidly good for the money. I can't see anything else being better.
@@GroundedTechOnly a flagship from the previous year with a renewed battery! Too many parameters to make it not worth grabbing the Nord 4 instead
@MF_OXF yeah for anyone that doesn't prioritise camera this thing is sublime.
I realy like that phone... And as you said the photos are very good indeed!
Like I said before man, I actually think this would be the perfect phone for you.
I always find it hard to say the charge speed when they don't give you that 😅 for the phone looks like a pretty nice deal.
Yeah it's frustrating, but I at least had a 100W charger to use! It's even more frustrating when it's such a great feature for someone picking one up for the first time. It's a lot of phone for the price.
Instead of using your gaming computer with the a770 , use something else , record in hevc with your cpu , then transfert the recorded file to a computer using the a770 , that will allow you to have high encoding speed without problems However , streaming in av1 might not work , but if i remember well , you can use an other computer to record your main computer screen ? Personaly , as someone that save a lot of anime/tv show , having a 2nd computer with this gpu is amazing , its way faster than a rtx4090 at encoding and it cost 5x less
That's an option for people running two PCs. But that's not most people. Streaming in AV1 works great on UA-cam. Looking forward to trying it on Twitch at some stage.
@@GroundedTech what i mean is thzt , while using the inten gpu fpr recoding and no plzying , you xill nd zble to use both av1epencore diving and no lag Mea’wjile the E770 will gocudnon encodinf znd recuce gzme speed
@shirakolee damn man did you keyboard break? 😂 I get you.
@@GroundedTech wth ?!! When did i write this ?! I guess it was when i took sleep pills and drunk something strange -_-" I remember answering you , but...my answer just doesnt fit , sorry for this chaotic experience lol
@shirakolee lmao don't worry. This comment is amazing 😂
Sony has been sabotaging themselves from some time now. Same thing with the PlayStation brand, someone is trying to kill Sony from the inside with these decisions.
The phone is still very good, but selling it in fewer markets is a strange one.
Is 5 mark 3 and 4 safe from green line issue
I believe the IV is safe but the III has the same screen as the II.
