He should do a comparison with the Xz2 premium not the xz3 that has virtually the same camera set up from the xz2. The Xz2 premium will blow that i phone away with its dual camera set up which the i phone has as well. The xz3 is a single lens, not the right comparison if you ask me. Still the xz3 beat it overall in day light photos while the i phone won overall in low light even though it was tighter in low light than it was in day light.
XZ3 single cam yet the cam performs like it has a dual cam set up. Definitely I'm with sony. I want true life and realistic shots. Sony was also able to prove that you don't need 2 cameras just to get the perfect shots..........a little more adjustments and sony could probably nail it
That dual cam set up on most phones (standard + tele) is not for taking better photos in general, it serves a particular purpose of portrait photos. I'm sure Sony will fall behind if he compares portrait shooting.
Colour production is better on Sony..That was clear from the flower shot and Matthew's standing shot at night. But in terms of video capturing iPhone is the winner here.
Really tired of reading comments saying "and only with a single lens!". If he was zooming at x2 times the Iphone XS would have the advantage due to the secondary lens. In most point and shoot photos the extra lens isn't used. Most extra lens on phones are there to support the main lens not to be used all the time...
Just 2x?? I want at least 3x, heck even 5x optical zoom! Digital crop is enough for 2x, especially since the XZ3 has a higher resolution to begin with. And how about using those telephoto lenses at night?? Oh wait, they actually don't work! Wow!
Lol then get a Mate 20 Pro?? You don't buy Iphones for its zooming capabilities that is more of a bonus feature. Besides, my whole point is that people are being disingenuous that any phone that has more than 1 lens has to be twice as good as a single camera phone which is absolutely ridiculous. The extra cameras are always there as support for the main sensor because unlike DSLRs you can't just add a lens onto the main sensor. So this is the way phone manufacturer got around that limitation. And please, you can see in the video that the Iphone has more detail so using digital zoom on the XZ3 vs. optical zoom on the Iphone would be an easy win for the Iphone. I much prefer the pictures on the XZ3 pictures but they are not meant to be "pixel peeped" or zoomed in because then they don't look as good.
Johnny Since I love how you manage to complain about the telephoto lens and make it seem like a bad feature. A digital crop never beats an actual telephoto lens. There have been countless comparisons that you can check out for yourself.
+KaizerFaith According to what you are suggesting, the P20 pro and LG v40 with their 3 back cameras would be rather useless. I disagree though. I find have more options always better than having less options.
I'm really surprised with the first night picture that the iPhone produces, it looks like a weird old picture or a filter above it. Overall I still prefer the XZ3, the colors it produces are so natural and unmatched. In low light it's really good too, but others can do better like the P20 Pro or XZ2 Premium
You clearly don't know what dynamic range is since you said it's better on the Sony but it crushed the shadows back on the first pic. Sony also adds a strange effect on a blurred background, which is visible on some of the photos. But I gotta say, the video on the Sony looks better. Apple has added a lot of sharpening and it doesn't look that organic. But on the rear facing camera, Sony has even more aggressive skin softening happening and its stabilization isn't as good.
Matthew you are the best 💪💪 sometimes the Xs does some work sometimes it's the XZ3, the only thing that Xs does better is the light thanks to the opening it has because the XZ3 has an aperture of 2.0 but I admit that both are better. there are scenes that the Xs wins there are scenes that it is the XZ3.
i think that on most of the shots that looked better on the XZ3 I could just increase the contrast on the iPhone and get similar results, but is a step more 🙃. The XZ3 looks really good right after taking the shot and has better colors (more true to life). The iPhone has better HDR and video. Both of these cameras are great, I think anyone would be really happy with either one of them. BTW, I don't know why, but the front facing video on the XZ3 looked out of focus (or something else)🤔
What's that have to do with anything? All phones take pictures with the main camera. Having a single camera is only a disadvantage when zooming in (telephoto lens) or zooming out (wide angle lens). That's the reason why you add more cameras to do specialized things the main lens can't do.
0:38 you said the dynamic range of the XZ3 is better in this photo, but right after that when you analyzed a zoomed in version of it, you said the dynamic range is better on the XS? 1:30 XS photo has better dynamic range, you can see the cloud, whereas it's blown out in the XZ3 photo.
Kudos for this UA-camr. Probably the only one that talks about Sony phones. Great job... Another amazing video. And damn... You shouldn't be underrated.
Most reviewers now ignore the 1080p video quality for some reason. Still, a vast majority of viewers don´t own a 4k capable monitor or TV, so they´ll shoot in 1080p, and it´s also better for internal storage preservation. It´s a good idea to include 1080p video camera results in reviews. All in all a good comparison nonetheless.
Matthew I love your channel. I love that you test many different devices in real life. Just a little thought - when you test video performance, it's also good to compare 1080p. It's a very popular and useful resolution, and devices like XZ3 do miracles on 1080p. Best!
My gf has the XZ2 Compact and it's ok with 4k, but 1080p60 is absolutely amazing and 1080p30 with the 5-axis stabilization great too! Pushing a 1/2.3-1/2.5" sensor to do great 4k is a tough sell, you need gorgeous day time lighting etc. 1080p60 or 1080p30 turns out way nicer and is really enough for most content creation. I have a V40 for reference.
Yeah. I also wish for Sony to put OIS on future XZ. Also that monochorome sensor. Have u seen the night shot on the XZ2 Premium? If OIS is implemented on future XZ series. It would help low light shot just as much as that second lens.
I wouldn't know how the colors really look on each phones' screens. AFAIK both phones have different screen calibration. and now I'm watching this on my desktop monitor which I believe has its own calibration based on my preferred settings.
Xs always keeps on using very slow shutter speeds even in daylight. Try taking fast-moving objects, and the XZ3 would surely dominate. This is very important since people always shoot pictures of non-still subjects. If I need a slow shutter speed, I can simply go to Manual Mode and adjust that, but when I need to get the right shot in a hurry, the motion blur-free images of the XZ3 would be fantastic. That is to say, I prefer the iPhone's dynamic range and stabilization, but overall, it's still a win for Sony to me. Colors are simply unmatchable, as if only Sony isn't the color blind camera out there.
Thanks for the comparison. One thing though. It appears to me you are a bit confused about what dynamic range means. On the first picture you say that the XZ3 has better dynamic range. But you then go on to show that when you zoom in and look at the shadow part of the image, the iPhone shows much more detail. Guess what? That means it has better dynamic range, not less dynamic range. Having more contrast in a image is not the same as having more dynamic range.
@2:48 Here you point out that the iPhone image has better shadow detail. You then say that the exposure on the Sony is not as good, because the light is blown out. But you've already pointed at the lack of shadow detail in the Sony image. The reason for this is *not* incorrect exposure. Both phones have exposed the image properly to their ability. *But* the iPhone image has more shadow detail and doesn't blow out the light because of its HDR mode having *better dynamic range* . My advice to you would be to look up and use the correct terminology in your reviews, it will make your reviews more professional.
I''ve gotta say, some of the conclusions were a bit strange. I think you're confusing dynamic range with contrast on some of the examples. On many shots, you say the iPhone boosted up the exposure, when it simply has better dynamic range - for example, on the image of construction equipment on the peer, you say the iPhone bumped up the exposure, however the XZ3 has a significantly _brighter_ sky than the iPhone, but the shadows are more visible on the iPhone. That means it has better dynamic range, not that it boosted exposure. Another example, in the first image - look at the sky, they're equivalently exposed on both. Then look at the shadows, they're way brighter on the iPhone. Look at the smaller darker UPS logo on the iPhone's shot - you can't even see there's a logo there on the XZ3. Honestly I'm pretty surprised at how poorly the XZ3 did. The night shot at 2:56 was honestly terrible on the XZ3, the shadows were entirely lost and even though you didn't zoom in, it was obvious it was blurrier as well. And the front facing video is weirdly bad as well, it didn't even focus on your face! The only shot where I think it did better was at 3:20, where if a simple color correction filter was put on, it would look much better than the iPhone.
It's amazing how the XZ3's only camera picks up all the color details and black and white appear. All the details are shown with naturalness giving life to the picture as if you only see the images by the very eyes! The amount of details of colors, contrasts, glares, lighting, shadows and naturalness of things making it possible to be seen on the floor, metal and everywhere in the image! Another important detail to mention is that all XPERIAS can control the brightness and color of an image even in automatic modes. In professional modes the advantage comes to be giant without mentioning that they are the only ones with the possibility of taking photos and recordings in HDR besides the 4K HDR. 👏👏👏 SONY
The XZ3 is the same rear camera hardware from the XZ2, if the lens were F1.8, that would have changed the game, but I think it's even between the iPhone and the XZ3 when you check all in all.
man you're the best this comment before watching the video just because you share every things up to date Thanks♥ specially for xperia lover which is I am😬
I went in having no hopes for XZ3, but I am so glad I was wrong. After years of decent camera quality, Sony has finally managed to bump heads with other big names. Really happy for Sony, keep making great phones.
Why use the XZ3 instead of XZ2 premium? The XZ2 premium is the "camera phone" with a much better cameran than that on the XZ3, mostly doe to the 2nd sensor and the ability to bring out details on shadows and low light. Also should do a comparison of 1080p video also since that is what most people will be using for everyday use. It doesn't take as much space on the phone and still looks amazing, even on a large PC display.
I think I might upgrade to the xz3 in the new year. Better value the the iPhone and day to day I'm not gonna notice the camera differences. The video quality is worse but I can't remembr the last time I took a video so not bothered.
O HO!! MATTHEW SIR!!! DEFINITELY SONY XPERIA XZ3 IS MY PICK. I AM SURE THE PICTURES YOU CLICK WERE IN AUTO MODE. DEFINITELY MANUL MODE IN SONY XPERIA XZ3 WILL GIVE YOU CRISP & CLEAR & DESIRE SHOT AS OF SMARTPHONE CAMERA ARE CONCERNED!!! XPERIA DOES PROVIDES YOU THE BEST!!!

ANYWAYS I MYSELF USE XPERIA SMARTPHONE. ALL MY SMARTPHONES WERE ONLY & WILL BE FROM SONY!!! BEACUSE THEY REALLY DO A VERY GOOD JOB!!! EXCEPT PROVIDING THING'S A BIT EARLY!!! WOULD HAVE MADE THING REALLY GO WELL FOR SONY FAN'S & SONY'S COMPANY!!! AND I AM ALSO WAITING FOR SONY TO REVAMP THEIR LABTOP DIVISION!!! PLEASE MATTHEW SIR IF YOU CAN REQUEST THEM TO REINSTATE & REVAMP THEIR LAPTOP BUSINESSES!!! LASTLY THANK YOU SO MUCH MATTHEW SIR!!! HAVE FUN!!!
Coming from a HTC phone....Sony's colour looks a lot more natural and appealing to me. But iv noticed how the Sony's lens tend to flare a lot more than the iPhone Xs? That doesn't bother me... Because the my HTC 10 does the exact same and iv learnt how to deal with that by adjusting my photo angles. But video...man the iPhone is far better. Both phones are phenomal, and look beautiful❤
Good comparison and agree with your assessment overall, but I think you use the term dynamic range a bit reversed. The iPhone you said had more detail and information in the shadows which means that it has better dynamic range. The Sony has less dynamic range but it has more contrast. Thumbs up anyway, still getting used to my XZ3 ;)
Sometimes iPhone looks better and sometimes xz3 looks better both are pretty equal But I kinda like the iPhone more because it has a second telephoto camera for zooming it's so handy to have it
Please do a comparison with the xz2 premium and the xs max, that is a better comparison i'm eager to see. Then would love to see a side by side comparison of the Note 9 screen and the xz3 screen. Thanks a million and keep up the great job.
i really happy that u done videos with XZ3 many youtuber like MKBHD not done any impression video about the Georgeos XZ3 why??why did they avoid this....itsa great device although....
I would have to go with iPhone XS because of the better videos. However, I prefer the natural photos on the XZ3. If the XZ3 videos were comparable to XZ3, I would have picked the XZ3 instead.
Hi Matt, still waiting for Pixel 3 vs XZ3 comparison, you can also add xz2 premium. which is one sided but looking for these three phones for comparison.
Th iphone 📱 built-in Sony Sensor in fact all phones build in sony sensor for better picture only samsung it's own and Huawei build in Leca Germany 🇩🇪 camera 📷
Here it is the underrated XZ3 vs iPhone XS! Which one took the better pics? Hit me up on discord if you have any questions. Discord.gg/mattmoniz

i like video on iphone and xz3 on photo
Sony is my pick becuz of the price..It doesn't have any "Beauty" thingys
Pixel 3 and i phone xs please
I am surprised that the video was jerky on the XZ3, especially when Sony claims that the XZ3 camera has a 5 axis video stabilization.

I think there wasn't any photo with the help of the second lens of the iPhone in this comparison. 😅
Iphone Xs was also using single camera against XZ3..
Huawei p20 pro...uses two cameras at the same time.
What does that even mean "performs like a dual cam set up"?? The 2nd cam on the iphone is for a 2x zoom, and was not used in this video...
Love Sony xz3 forever

I think I might upgrade to the xz3 in the new year. Better value the the iPhone and day to day I'm not gonna notice the camera differences. The video quality is worse but I can't remembr the last time I took a video so not bothered.

Will there be a 4k HDR video?
Very nice comparison
Thank you !!
does XZ3 support shooting in .raw format?
Coming from a HTC phone....Sony's colour looks a lot more natural and appealing to me. But iv noticed how the Sony's lens tend to flare a lot more than the iPhone Xs? That doesn't bother me... Because the my HTC 10 does the exact same and iv learnt how to deal with that by adjusting my photo angles. But video...man the iPhone is far better. Both phones are phenomal, and look beautiful❤
v40 vs xz3,iphone xs and others best cameraphones? :)
Oneplus 6 vs p20 pro camera??which one is the best
P20 pro
Awesome camera comprision keep it up as always watching with my poco F1
Can u plz make a camera comparison between xz2p and xz3
Just love your reviews. Can you please review the LG V35 thinq.
But XZ3 has done much better job than expected I think. I hope this will improve more in future.
Failed to mention the 1080p, 960fps slow motion on the XZ3
Galantiz Bones not important features
@@teampangz1000 well considering it's the only phone in the world that could do 1080p 960fps is a notable feature
Good comparison and agree with your assessment overall, but I think you use the term dynamic range a bit reversed. The iPhone you said had more detail and information in the shadows which means that it has better dynamic range. The Sony has less dynamic range but it has more contrast.
Thumbs up anyway, still getting used to my XZ3 ;)
Next camera comparison, Huawei P20 pro vs Google Pixel 3.. gotta see Night Sight vs Night Shot .. which company did it better .... Huawei or Google
Sometimes iPhone looks better and sometimes xz3 looks better both are pretty equal
But I kinda like the iPhone more because it has a second telephoto camera for zooming it's so handy to have it
Great objective comparison
Which is better option for video recording ...??
overall Better phone irrespective of price
Matt at central perk! How you doin'?
Please do a comparison with the xz2 premium and the xs max, that is a better comparison i'm eager to see. Then would love to see a side by side comparison of the Note 9 screen and the xz3 screen. Thanks a million and keep up the great job.
Plz camera comparison between note 9 and xz3
i really happy that u done videos with XZ3 many youtuber like MKBHD not done any impression video about the Georgeos XZ3 why??why did they avoid this....itsa great device although....
I would have to go with iPhone XS because of the better videos. However, I prefer the natural photos on the XZ3.
If the XZ3 videos were comparable to XZ3, I would have picked the XZ3 instead.
LOOK THIS COMPARISON

His reaction at the end when the phone fell off his hands.... is priceless 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
U freakin killed me
Hi Matt, still waiting for Pixel 3 vs XZ3 comparison, you can also add xz2 premium. which is one sided but looking for these three phones for comparison.
Honest review ... 👌👌
I don't think you know what dynamic range means. I like your videos but didn't agree that sony has better dynamic range.
Th iphone 📱 built-in Sony Sensor in fact all phones build in sony sensor for better picture only samsung it's own and Huawei build in Leca Germany 🇩🇪 camera 📷
maybe you could have tried comparing the video with sony's HDR converted to rec709?
no portrait comparison which is new feature in sony firestever.
Xperia xz3 camera more better than IPhone dual camera.
