Sony Xperia 1 IV First Look: These cameras are WILD

  • The Sony Xperia 1 IV continues the company's tradition of keeping their smartphone familiar feeling and looking... only to reveal substantial updates to key areas underneath the surface. While my current unit might be a prototype, I already feel the power of the Sony Xperia 1 IV emanating from the 4K screen, the now 4K capable front facing camera, and the new sensors on the back that bring powerful abilities to every lens. This might be the beginning of a beautiful new journey with what strikes me as one of the most stacked smartphones in recent memory.

    It’s awesome that Sony kept the simple minimalist monolithic form factor of its consumer electronics in the Xperia line; focusing more on the purpose, functionality and usage of the device rather than its distracting admiration makes it a cleverly classy product. Praises made about the target audience of professionals for the high end smartphone actually democratizes access to such a device with gaming and entertainment. Average users will eventually learn about the pro apps when venturing into tweaking or tinker with various parameters.

    sony's the only flagship brand remaining that kept the headphone jack and microSD expansion, while not implementing dumb design choices like a notch just for the sake of 'slim bezels'.

  • @anecro
    @anecro 2 роки тому +17

    I wish I was able to afford this. I've said this before with their pro i model, so that really says something, even if the entirety of that 1 inch lens isn't utilized.
    This is a dream phone for me as I'm pretty well into photography and know how to get the best results out of any camera if it lets me. I'm a control freak when it comes to my photos and videos so Sony's approach of leaving it all on the user, with the expectation that they can handle it, fits me like a glove. The optical zoom is incredible and I'm so happy that it actually has enough range to make a significant difference between pictures.
    These things on top of their very advanced photo and video software, among other additions like the dedicated shutter button and eye based focusing, make the perfect device for someone like me. No wonder their phones don't sell with how much is expected from the user and their cost, but there's nothing like them if you fit into a specific group.

    • @airtioteclint
      @airtioteclint 2 роки тому

      I had a V60 and couldn't use the DAC. It required a headphone with certain ohms. I'd say about 90% of LG owners don't even use it and half of that number think they are but aren't.
      I got the Note 22 now (S22 ultra) and couldn't be happier. Dolby works with any earphones (wireless/wired) at any ohms.

  • @rolins3279

    The comment I made regarding the Sony Xperia Pro-i a few months ago:
    ''The only real problems for Sony are the too high price of their smartphones, and the refusal to have a true auto mode like Pixels, Vivo, iPhones and Samsung.
    Because even the most professional photographer in the world often wants to be able to just take an image on the fly and share it without the fuss.
    The same smartphone (keeping the photo sensors and pro applications) with a screen between FHD - QHD (4k on this screen size is useless) 120 hertz at variable frequency but also and above all a standard photo application as on iPhones,Samsung and Pixel (for automatic photos and videos ready for social networks) a much better selfie camera that can shoot in 4k, all in maximum $1200 range, where Sony is going to sell it tons.
    But there as it is, Sony will sell only 17 as usual.''
    Apparently, and even if it took years, Sony finally understood that it was up to them to adapt to the market and not the opposite.
    Now they just have to revise their price a bit and guarantee at least 3 to 4 years of major updates.

    • @peterdurum434
      @peterdurum434 2 роки тому +3

      It's auto mode is perfectly fine. Of course it needs some improvements, but just like auto modes of other manufacturers too. Sony's auto mode is not worse, it's just different and uses different post processing.
      Sony is listening to fans. With each iteration Xperia 1 series we see food improvements. From all flagship smartphones in 2022 this one offers the most complete package. And also many unique features as well.
      If you don't need 4K, then buy Xperia 5 series instead. It's almost identical to Xperia 1 series except for the screen and some little camera fucntions.
      Of course having longer software support is always welcome, but I had several Sony phones which still work smoothly even without updates. And sometimes updates don't fix problems but add new ones.
      Seriously, it was already annoying to hear such complains for Xperia 1iii, since it was one of the most (if not the most) well rounded flagship with many features. But it is insane to be honest. I don't understand such people. There are many others brands and different products. If you don't like this phone - go get something else and enjoy it.

    • @jedcutler7255

    Sony's phone is now a pro tool rather than a phone for general consumer. I'm really glad they're staying since basically they have no competition in the market now.

      They could use some general customer demand though. Would help the mobile branch to do even more

      I think this phone is the most complete package on the market now. Considering this the price is okay to swallow. Especially for pre-orders where you can get nice headphones for free.

    It's really forget that Sony Expria exist but it's a good smartphone

    How long can you record 4k 120 fps until it overheats?

    Micro sd card slot and head phone jack. Way to go Sony.
