This phone is amazing, and has always been amazing Although I'm not a camera person it still seems like a great phone for any average person The 4k screen is just amazing too
You allayed my fears regarding the grain; I was confused that it was visible especially at such low ISO, but you did say you edited it that way. For the record I like the images 👏🏾 Loved the angles, lighting, and the way you presented this video. Thank you for your honest reveiews! 🙌🏾
I’m not a photographer but I’m doing northern lights trips and needed a phone to perform good on pitch dark and cold weather 3 months now and I love how awesome photos is getting
Hi Gideon. For me the reason to return it was the noise made by the stabilisation motor in video. You can’t overhear it and it is basically impossible to take it out easily. Another point: the front camera in video in low light. It is not useable. Otherwise… like you say, a very good device.
Hi Sev , I understand. You made the right decision , you never want to hold on to something that will have problems in the future. The low light is really not good 😂 that I agree. What device are you getting next ?
@@sevdarasdaras Its all good , I understand I hope you have good time with the iPhone. They are good phones too when it comes to videography and photography.
Im thinking of getting this phone soon. How does it do with RAW images? No reviewer ever talks about it. Also for video work how does it do in terms of artistic color grading, as in im pushing values up there to get a certain look. Maybe for an example I shot a video and turn the contrast and shadows all the way up to create this extreme HDR look of clouds I was shooting and the only reason that was able to be done was because I was shooting in SLOG and in 10bit 4:2:2. So what does the Xperia have? I only heard it does HLG but no one ever shows how it does or I haven't seen anyone experiment with the built in luts I heard it offers.
Thanks for reaching out. When it comes to raw images it is fine. I usually take some of my photos in raw. But don't expect the same level of quality you get from a mirrorless camera. In terms footage it's okay but when you try to do heavy grading the footage begins to break. In HLG I have only added a simple colour correction. I don't use the in built filters the phone has not a fan. I hope this link works it's a raw image from the phone. Try testing it out we.tl/t-eLaW3cpmD4
@@GideonNtxbeni Thank you. I tested the raw file and it actually isn't bad. Its a clear stepup from what my Iphone 14 can do anyway, albeit it doesn't do actual raw by default.
Thank you for the update. I have at the moment my Galaxy s9+ and I've been meaning to upgrade since summer but i was saving up until now. I saw your last video and that gave me a bit of a concern and even then i wanted to get the Xperia 1 v. I was ready to purchase just after Christmas, but then I learned the rog phone 8 pro is coming out soon. I'm now waiting for the reviews, but I'm in a dilemma about getting that one or this one. To be honest, i do want the better cameras and they are both excellent phones, it's just that i do like the faster charging, bigger screen and the aero cooler, but this time they downgraded the speakers..
You are welcome. The Rog phone 8 Pro is a serious beast. I had to check it to see people's reviews it's a serious phone. They have better packaging ,a charger etc. The Xperia comes in a small recycling box , no charger 🤣🤣. The Rog phone 8 Pro, is cheaper. At the end of the day choose what your heart desires and go with what goes with your budget.
Great production quality for such a small channel. I hope your channel will flourish, but I have no doubts it will! I'm still undecided between the Xperia 1V and Xiaomi 13(T) Pro
Thank you so much for the comments it means a lot. The most important thing I learnt is to go with what your heart desires. I always wanted the Xperia 1 because of the specs and things like the audio jack, micro SD card slot, video pro and photo pro app. So it's best to go with what you really love, what you see yourself using and what goes with your budget.
Been watching this phone since release. Grown tired of Samsung and Apple cookie cutter phones and have been wanting something different but more camera
You should definitely get one or wait for it to drop in price and get one. Because they will announce the mark 6 sometime this year and the mark 5 will go down in price.
Thank you so much , I use the Google photos that came with the phone. I am not a fan of it. Sometimes I use Files , when I can't find some of my photos on Google. It's weird it's set up , they just need a dedicated gallery separate from Google. I understand why your wife hates it 😂 it's not a simple and straightforward phone. Is she gonna keep it ?
Did you try to import a gcam mod for us users that are not good with so many camera settings? Usually the bigkaka 8.4 version works great with Sony phones. Thanks
Hi thank you for watching. I did not. The Xperia 1 V is fine as it is. The Photo Pro app in basic mode is able to take very good images. The rest of Images were taken in M mode. Only Images of the Airplane , buildings and the lorry on the motorway were taken by basic mode. The image quality reminds me of the Pixel phones. Sony's computational photography is very good. Even in night mode. Before Sony I had Pixel 3 XL.
@@GideonNtxbeniI am a Sony and Pixel phones fan, I stopped taking Sony flagships at Xperia 5 iii mainly due to average camera, the processors and overheating (Snapdragon 888 and 8 gen 1), and went for both the Xperia 10 mark iv and v instead, while I had all the pixel flagships ((bought them and sold them and then buy something else again). Even the basic pixel 6a (and even my older pixel 4 XL which I still keep) take much better photos and even videos than Sony phones.. And am skeptical for the Xperia 1 v since even the telephotos are grainy while contract and hdr are far behind all other flagships..
@@chrtofiros @chrtofiros the photos on my videos I added digital grain to it , as my style of editing, I even mention it in the video. The OG photos are clean. Originally I wanted to get the Pixel 8 Pro but I was tired of waiting for them to announce and release it so I went for the Xperia 1 V. Pixel is way too advanced when it comes to computational photography, their HDR is next level. Most of the competition has better computational photography. Sony's software is still in the early stages. Maybe you wait a little while when they release mark VI they you get the Mark V, because these days these devices depreciate in value as soon as the new one is released.
@@GideonNtxbeni couldn't agree more: there is a guy in my country selling his Xperia 1 v with the full camera gimbal and extra screen for only 800 euros and nobody buys it.. I know that for these money it's a steal BUT still, it's a Sony.. Will probably wait yo improve their algorithms a bit. Generally speaking, shame on Sony again
Theres things other then the camera and photots that bug me. Things like how you cant map the side buttons to open apps. Or how the back button is on the left side not right. Lol some of the gallery stuff n apps bug me. But theres not many phones w good cameras amd sd slots. I guess I'll keep mine
@@GideonNtxbeni It would be nice to do another update on your Xperia 1 V experience, also giving your opinion on the fingerprint sensor. If they have fixed it maybe I'll buy the Mark VI next year 😅
The sad thing about UA-cam, people spend time watching salesman's reviews about the phone, when someone comes with an honest opinion they get attacked. I have been posting honest reviews about the phone. I have said countless of times this is a powerful phone, I love the phone , I will never get rid of it but these are things sony just needs to fix. I never said to people do not buy it but I have had some people telling me I am wrong, I don't know what I am talking about.
@@GideonNtxbeni I agree with you 100%. Also, I'm thinking about to buy Xperia 1 V... But I'm still choosing between Sony and Oppo Find X6 pro. I found them both at basically the same price and it is a great deal.
@@IvanPrskalo when I got my Xperia 1 V it had headphones included the XH-1000-XM5 at that time it was good deal. Oppo makes nice phones X6 pro reminds me of the Xiaomi 12S Ultra. At the end of the day you get the phone that works well for you. Before I got I had the Xperia 1V and Pixel 8 Pro in mind. It's only that pixel was released late so I went for Xperia 1 V but I would have got the Pixel 8 Pro. In the end What made me go for the Xperia was the expandable storage , headphone jack , the image quality.
why bother buying this phone if you're going to use the pro mode and edit later anyways? Won't having a good auto mode also be helpful? Oppo and Samsung's raw photos are amazing and very editable.
The purpose of this phone is to use it the same way you would use a mirrorless camera. I take my photos in raw on an actual camera and then I edit them. I like that I do the same with this phone , that's my preference. If I want a quick photo I would use auto mode. Sometimes I take photos in pro and some in auto, When I want and when I feel like. If Oppo and Samsung Raw photos are amazing and very editable good for them. It's like commenting on your page and say why buy fruity loops instead of getting Reason or Pro Tools. But naa it's none of my business. You have what you like just like I have what I like. You cannot tell me what I should do and what I should not. I never approached and tell you what you should do with your phone or your money.
@@GideonNtxbeni Oh no I didn't mean to say that you can't use this or anything. No need to get aggressive there man sorry I was asking like, why would you go through all that trouble to get an end result that is worse than others? What I mean by that is that Chinese manufacturers like Vivo and Oppo have demonstrably superior hardware than Sony's phones, so if you take the raw photos you can get better ones AND if you take auto mode shots you'll get better shots than Sony there as well. Should've clarified by asking the real question, what does the Sony provide that makes it all worth it? Cus I'm not seeing anything supremely special from this phone's camera apart, just your photography skills. I can give you a nokia 3310 and you'd take a good shot. People use Sony for their screen, front facing speakers, headphone jack, sd card, or even for videography but even for videography it could be argued that phone makers with better optics can make better videos than Sony in the pro mode and stuff. Have always found Sony phones intriguing and had an Xperia SP and always look forward to Sony phones. If they were priced 200-500 dollars less they'd have been easy picks for me. Again, I repeat I did not mean any harm or offense, just asking what is in this phone that would make it all worth the hassle like for Apple users "it just works", that kinda thing makes it worth it for them to get iPhones. Hope I was able to make myself clear this time.
@@kaiserfakinaway5909 it’s all good bro. sorry bro if I sounded aggressive or mean, that was not my intention. Since you explained clearly I understand what you mean. The photos don’t look like they look on the video. There is UA-cam compression plus I added grain when I edited them plus I had a layer of video grain on top of that. I don’t disagree that the competition has better things to offer. I would have gotten the Vivo or Oppo or Xiaomi but I prefer the stock android look. plus they are hard to get in England. i used to be a Pixel Owner. Apologies if I sounded aggressive.
@@GideonNtxbeni yess I get how youtube compresses stuff but I can just see the amount of quality from these samples regardless because I've kinda gotten used to how youtube compresses phone photos but still these look so great. And I don't mind the grain, I actually think phone makers are dumb for ALWAYS reducing noise to the point of smoothing things out. I love noise because it keeps details. Grain is also a very cool stylistic choice. Yeah exactly! They're hard to get and as a result sometimes expensive as well. And I agree, the look of these phones are a turn off. If I used them I'd have just used a launcher for sure. Btw what made you switch from a Pixel to the Sony? Usually people just LOVE the point and shoot capabilities of the Pixels. Anyways thanks for the reply, friend.
@@kaiserfakinaway5909 Thank you bro , I had a Pixel 3 XL for 3 years and I kept saying I will get a new phone. Around this time last year I was looking at the Xiaomi 12s Ultra and the Xperia 1IV, the overheating issue was putting me off, but still I was tempted to get one , I saw Xperia 1IV for £350 by the time i wanted to buy it , someone already bought. Around May last year My phone Bricked on me 🤣 the funny thing was it was the same day they announced the Xperia 1 V. I tried everything to revive my Pixel I gave up. So I ended up getting Mark 5 with free headphones. What phone do you have ?
