Sony takes the cake on all of these photo tests with the most natural looking images with overall good contrasts, sharpness, detail preservation and color reproduction. The extreme lowlight condition truly tests the hdr algorithms of all these smartphones but Sony didn't really do that bad with good amount of detail retention. We haven't touched yet on Sony's insane auto focus tracking and full manual controls. If Sony releases Xperia 5 V with these new features, it would be my next phone.
@@Worthless. I think the problem is they often speak about manual controls as if that's all an Xperia is good for. I don't see them using 4k/120 or showing how good the auto focus is etc. They never talk about the various strengths of an Xperia, it's always based on the basics and the strengths of the generic market.
Highly frustrating.
Try manual dialing , sony will surpass others with flying colours
iPhone is easily noticeable, due to its usual flaws
My 13 Pro always tone things down while making everything look artificial and weirdly contrasty
Even the S23 Ultra is better and I don’t like Samsung’s color science at all
The Pixel is OK but the HDR look is not for me
The Xperia is really good, natural rendition from detail to colors. That’s what I want from a camera
For each one of these, I correctly guessed the Samsung and the iPhone each time. I occasionally got the Sony and the Pixel confused, but I thought those two were easily the best. I thought the Samsung was the worst each time; they are either over or under sharpened or saturated and easy to spot. The iPhone's style is an acquired taste; I like it, but not as much as the vibrant color science on the Pixel, which continues to be the best camera phone of all time.
I'm for the Xperia 1V.
S-cinetone and venice with 21:9 in Cinema pro and all the settings are amazing.
And you can connect the Smartphone with your Sony A Camera.
I'm glad the Xperia 1 V exist. Xperia has always the most exciting phones to come out in a while and definitely the most fun to use. To me at least.
Good photo quality, awesome manual modes and few of the most natural photos on a smartphones. Plus the multitude of features like front speakers, 4K screens, wired and wireless audio solutions and small features that improve a few quality of life usage. It's not perfect, but it's fun to use. Something missing on many phones today.
True
@@SonyEnthusiast especially true with a snapdragon 8 gen 2 and a micro SD card slot. Samsung, Google, Huawei, Honor, Motorola have no excuses for the SD card removal when Sony and LG had been rocking the SD card on their flagships
the reason i buy xperia phone is because their dedicate work to the manual mode and all that goodness from their alpha camera like colors science and luts all apply in the xperia phone . if you know how to shoot manual and use the camera then this xperia camera beat all others but in term of auto shooting just with AI auto tune then no it's not for everyone . anyway maybe because i love taking photo and quite serious about taking photo so that's why i hate when smartphone with their AI color tuning and stuff which make it looks too sharp and unreal also plastic
@@mitismee true
@@danteerskine7678 we all know why they removed the sd card slot
in main camera test there was a stark difference between sony and other phones. sony changed the game with this device, they really are flexing their quality hardware muscles to the market now it looks so DSLR.
i think you should also compare the video quality of these phones as i have seen several samples from Xperia and they are beyond anything i have ever seen with a smartphone.
the 1mk v would absolutely kill if it was more competitively priced..that along with it only getting about 2-3 years of software updates is the 2 biggest achilles heel of this device..with that said im still getting it lol..my 5 year old galaxy s9+, although still works, had a good run and im thinking its time for an upgrade
Out of stock in China
Will it stop working after two updates? No it won't. Don't get so hung up on updates, if it's a great phone then it's still a great phone.
The best camera is the one that's always with you
indeed
Omg cringe come on
@@svnbit8408 not cringe at all
Sony fanbois are cringe af, your phone always loser.
Your comparison is very amusing... congratulations for the excellent work.
I liked the S23u better, and I was disappointed with the iphone... honestly I expected a little more from it.
Hum.. for the telephoto, did you really use the right focal range for the sony ? Because it's digital zoom when it's not used at the 85mm focal, tell me if i'm wrong
You have improved a lot Sony and I'm too glad about that. Once you were bad when compared to the competition and now you are not that today. Props to you Sony.
good job for the explanation and making this video both interesting and entertaining
Really interesting camera comparison, albeit with really dull images. I was able to spot the Sony pictures fairly reliably and that’s the camera I intend to buy. In the indoor dark ‘studio light’ shot, are we ignoring that the Pixel shot was out of focus?
In the last shot, you have a bright subject in the middle of darkness. The skin is over exposed so it looks like you used average metering. It could have been better with center-weighted metering to expose the skin better.
Thanks for the video.
Love your energy bro,I always enjoy your videos
Did you use night mode on xperia?
If I can choose 2 it's Sony and Samsung but overall features, specs and design I'll go with Sony. Samsung design and size kinda off to put on a pocket to take photos.
If this comparison is in automatic mode in the Xperia phone then it is superior in this comparison
without a doubt it was the best Because it was used in automatic mode which some people say is bad
What would happen if it was taken manually by a professional photographer 📸?
Sony Xperia 1 v is The best phone this year
I bought it and did not regret it
well, Samsung has manual for video and photo... For me it's Samsung. But it's all in the hands of the photographer.. if someone is skilled he can never go wrong with either two.
@@davidnaromal4720 s23 isn't that good in manual lol. I have s23 😅😂
@@davidnaromal4720 Samsung manual mode is terrible, I tried it, better off with auto
Manual does not change anything, results are same if using same settings of auto
@@OmarSS87are you dumb? What's the point of using manual if you're gonna go with the same settings as of the auto mode😂
I really enjoyed this comparison video. Keep up the good work!
Sony Xperia 1 V is the best camera for a well balance of sharpness and saturation.
SONY ❤️ 🇯🇵 👍 🥇 🏆 👑
The Xperia is overall the superior phone. Better screen, better speakers, and a camera as good. Also no ugly punch hole.
Yeah why pplz accept hole or cutout in the screen 😂.and also no 3.5 jack and no charger in the box.and wire headphone is always better then need to charger wireless earbuds ( bats in u ear always is danger ),the dumb thing is why company copy that rotten 🍎
Yeah, I haven't bought a new phone since they started doing the dumb front camera cutouts and curved screens. That's one of the big reasons why I'm getting the Sony Xperia 1 V since it has a normal screen! It's the only phone that has the old features I liked and the new features I want - all in one!
Nice joke😂 did you hear speakers on s23u, xiaomi 13ultra, rog phone 7, iphone 14 pro/max? Display? Sorry man. The best Display acctually its s23u, just can calibration, and the best hdr in ever smartphones. Compare shit hdr on iphone 14 pro max and xiaomi, and the 21:9 aspect ratio suck. Verry small screen when watching full screen. The cinema ratio its overrated.
Personally I don't mind the punch holes since it's already within the black bars when I watch videos. I wonder how wide the black bars will be on a Sony. That is one of my main concern, when I'm thinking about buying the Sony.
@@clausgedved8728 Don't Settle for lazy punch hole design. It was only started because people wanted a *bezel less* look, so these companies stupidly did the punch hole and said *look small our bezels are!* And UA-camrs got all happy like fools.
The Xperia has nice bezels to hold beautiful front firing stereo speakers. That also is worth getting the phone for.
As far as black *bars, so it exists on 16:9 videos, like it does on all other of phones, it's not a big deal, I just zoom if I want. But when the content is 22:9.. which more and more is becoming (the standard).
Well in my opinion the true is if that if you do a research the iphone was never the best in the overall quality of photos as it is with the video quality but it was good enough and consistent.The Pixel is still good but it's not a wonder anymore and the Samsung is the best for media posting but Sony shines in the more pro aspect of the photography(in my eyes is just amazing compered to any smartphone camera experience ever).From a hardware opinion mine is that Sony nailed the most important aspects(camera, music-there is no competition and also a SD card).Sony lacks the features from the other brands so we will see how Sony will improve on that in the near future.
Would u bring nokia 808/ 1020 for the comparison?
Sony Xperia 😮o my goodles crazy smartphone
Sony telephoto camera starts from 85 mm not from 82 mm. So the picture you have shown in telephoto shot is actually from main camera.
I bought Sony Xperia 1v yesterday, still playing around on basic mode on on vivid color profile. Way better than my old point and shoot sharp aquos r5 in low light and autofocus speed
How has been you experience since?
The Xperia sensor crop is for using stabilisation. If I turn my stabilisation off then I get a wider view. Full sensor = unstabilized, cropped sensor = stabilized. That's how I understand it works?
Sony has been improved a lot. Xperia 1V is the reason I come back with Sony after 5 years. Thanks god... I still love Sony same at first...
The time somebody has the Xperia 5 v in hands and reviews it ima nail down if ima get the 1 V or 5 V. If those cameras make it in the 5 V and they shave off the overkill 4k screen maybe im all sold and order 2 of em lol. And i don't care about "only 2 years updates" beacuse Sony still lets you unlock the bootloader ez mode also they sometimes brought out updates even after that period.
Also microjack for headphones AND mic, because why shoot 4k 120fps with onboard audio, which is probably still really good.
Upgrading from a Huawei P30 Pro (1st gen). I want an upgrade and camera wise there isn't enough difference to justify an upgrade to anything but the no-AI-shinnanigans from Sony.
Also the old chinesium is still bloody fast and working well! Well spend 650€ back then :O
I'm kinda hyped :|
Also i gotta say you forgot to hit up on the insane autofocus and tracking of the thing :| It's really like you have an alpha 7 or 9 to play with. Just way more compact and not as potent but let's not forget we talking about a phone here. ^^
Do you use all the best and right setting for each phone?
What mode was the Sony shot in?
Sony is great at pro mode.. the easy way to use pro mode is switch to P(program auto) and done but dont forget to turn on HDR at middle right at the settings. I use Xperia 1ii and I can see different results between basic and pro mode
Same with the iPhone and Samsung. Use a pro mode or pro app and you can improve photos. We need to know how good auto mode is, and it is not an excuse to use pro mode. Sony needs to up their AI game, which is sub-par and for £1300, mighty disappointing.
@@andyH_Englandsub par🤣🤣
@@andyH_England stop the cap, iphone and Samsung pro mode is terrible but good try lol ..u cant improve a photo or video that was over saturated...they get worse. The colors and sharpness are already off, Manual mode won't help it.. I tried all and I know the difference.
@@The-Heart-Will-Testifywhat if you turn down the sharpness and saturation on the Samsung? That should be possible in pro mode
@@clausgedved8728 I tried, the pro mode on Samsung and iphone are more of a filter mode than actual pro mode. It's similar to social media apps filters, just stick with the auto mode. Sony uses the same software camera features as the Sony alpha...
It was easy to tell which ones were sony. The color over was significantly different from the rest on them. Whether you like that or not is up to you.
I can't distinguished which is which. You have to put the photos side by side to compare.
I know It's a 3.5mm headphones jack and sd card slot ❤❤❤ now i use sony xperia 1 iii.... It's my favourite phone in my life---- specially this camera manual mode.....
Sony need manual settings. They don’t use heavy AI. Yes who are already used DSLR are good to Go with SONY.
The truth is that Sony doesn't compete with those camera phones. Xperia's camera phone focuses on manual mode more than automatic mode, automatic mode still hasn't brought out the full performance of that sensor.
Colour accuracy and white balance game 1 V wins - resolved detail wise (no tricks, no edge lining, no oversharpening) S23U is superior.
3 x zoom S23U takes it.
UW 1 V and S23U appear on bar.
5 x is obviously Pixel Pro territory.
The zoom cam on Sony is a let down based on what I have seen so far.
As whole I would probably like the 1 V more due to the geeked out camera settings and the size format with top and down bezels, but I already got the S23U. Perhaps in next 3 years it will be Sony.
Where is Xiaomi 13 Ultra? 💥
And Huawei P60 Pro, Oppo, Vivo...
Not available. Rubbish
In the trashcan
Sony doesn't want to compete with the others. It's target audience are not point and shoot snappers, they are photographers who don't want over sharpened, over processed images or night photos that look like it's daytime. You just used auto which is not really how to use the Sony. I'm glad they haven't changed their ethos just to get more sales
I fully agree with you. That's the whole reason why Sony has provided so many manual settings unlike any other phone in the market.
good job, thanks
I held back on Sony because of the excessive over heating. I wonder if that is fixed on this new version. The S22 ultra does heat up when I push it but cools down pretty quick.
At least in stress-testing it is performing much better that its predecessor, even though I don't believe the IV was as bad as people make it. Sony tends to warn about overheating earlier, and then shuts off background processes in order to allocate more resources to the task at hand.
With video recording as an example, it will give a warning quite early that it has shut off some background processes to keep recording, it will then keep recording on the setting you've chosen without lowering framefrate or resolution like some competitors. The new 1 mk5 also shoots 4k60 videos with ~3 times higher bitrate than the competition, up from the mk4's almost 2times higher
People say they record long 4k and not even heat message shows up
Because those last generations use SNAPDRAGON 8 GEN 1 FOR YOUR INFORMATION AND USED SAMSUNG'S FABRICATION
No overheating issues on the mark V
Xperia shouldve had a better zoom lens
Natural is always is always the best to me..
my vote is none of them, I guess for walk around fun stuff, sure why not!
A phone camera is all about consistency for me. The Xperia can take a 9/10 picture, even with auto mode, but the next picture is only 5/10 for instance. Pixel and Galaxy always take an 8/10 picture in comparison, which is worth more to me. Btw when will Apple ever fix that yellowish/greenish white balance in their images... It looks horrible.
The Sony isn't made for Auto mode. It's made for photographers who know what they are doing. Too many reviewers don't use it properly.
Is the iPhone photo taken in raw mode or just the regular mode? Also is the Samsung taken in full MP or binned?
82mm is digital zoom on Xperia, thats why it looks pixalated, telephoto starts from 85mm
...Doesn't the telephoto for the Xperia start at 85 mm? The 82mm picture is just a digital zoom on the main camera :v Correct me if I'm wrong tho
I've just comment the exact same without saw yours 🙏🏼
Saw all those photos on my iphone 14 screen..n my biased always to samsung😂 woww good job sammy!
As much as i enjoyed watching these reviews i really don't think you can compare pictures to newer phones as the other phones have had more updates to cameras. Hence giving them more advantage.
Hard to deny but can't do anything since review units only get 1 or 2 firmware update before they return it.
Doesn't matter, the camera's algorithm software is not updated much. If you compare pictures from the same company 2 years ago you will see that there is very little difference and usually due to small hardware improvements.
This was fun, I'm getting pretty good at the completely pointless and niche skill of recognising what phone took what picture
also compare p60, its pretty dope too
I want xperia 1 mark 5😊
I chose P7P on all of the photos except for the last one where I chose the S23 Ultra. Seems like the top picks in the comment section was the Experia, which was my 2nd least favorite. iPhone consistently takes terrible photos. Even in real world situations.
A nice comparison (apart from the somewhat contradictory conclusions...). 2 clear wins for Sony (+ great job in the other photos + little disappointment only in the last irrelevant situation), 1 win apiece for Samsung and Google (but overall a very good job), epic fail from Apple.
Conclusion definitely contradicts the total number of wins.
I used to own a xz1, one of the last phones sold in India by sony before they left the market, bought an iPhone 12 and since then i have stopped taking photos and listening to music…😢, although the iPhone is much more durable. The image and music reproduction is lacking..
Just one photo from each cam for comparison is not enough
Mann! I'm not gonna lie the whole picture I choose s23 ultra, there is always different there.
It always show what we want.
Main Camera - Sony
Ultrawide - Sony
Telephoto - Pixel
Low Light - Sony
Lol lol lol
Not in auto, maybe in manual. Also get your eyes tested.
For me samsung had the most appealing then Sony but I would choose sony for what it has to offer
Sony capture the best shades, giving a proper vibes to the photo. In term of clarity, i dont really see differences.
Why do not up to 85mm on xp 1 five
Just took with 82mm😅
Sony Xperia V got the best camera if you know how to use camera professionally. This is not the phone for regular user.
If you really care about photos just take a normal camera. As for phones... take whatever you like, its all the same, especially after you put in on insta with its filters and compressions :)
No doubt you are an iPhone fan🤣🤣
wowwww...what a thought
10:07 Adam's shirt is so ugly that it could make a blind man cry.
now, compare them using manual/pro mode
Does not change, software is same.
I would love to get sony but after watching seems Pixel is better. Overall, I think I'd probably get s23 ultra.
For me the Pixel 7 pro and the Sony are the best. And if you don't like the overall rendition you can shoot raw or install other camera app with more control over the processing software.
SONY is just killing those photos from the wide and ultrawide cameras.
Pixel just nailed it in a telephoto portrait shoot.
S23 - nice try in low light but those aberrations, ew. So again, we have SONY. Others aren't perfect.
And for the 2nd low light shoot... you put two photos from the SONY in the video, one bad and another good. But yeah! S23 in this case shines at all glance.
You should have added huawei P60 pro
I think its a bit disingenuous to compare an Xperia in this way. These comparisons tell you little about the cameras overall and ending on the note of "Sony must do this if it wants to compete"...well Sony dont have competition.
They're doing their own thing and taking a different route. The rest may as well be clones of each other.
The Sony 1 sold terribly last year and is clearly a niche phone bought by hardcore Sony fans who know what they want. It could compete better with other flagships as a point-and-shoot, so it sells in low volume. The majority of the market care about the auto mode rather than about pro modes, as all phones can easily use pro apps that will make photos better. So, it is fair.
The sony is trash basically, that's why people left them.
So true! I don't get the obsession with those over processed oversaturated camera phones. At least Sony is trying to look like a real pro camera
@@archie7288 in j0 7:05
@Roman Shocker it is personal preference, no right or wrong, good or bad, just what you like. For some photos, I prefer a vivid take, sometimes I like natural, flatter with a more moody view.
Weird conclusion of the video after pretty much showing the xperia won most
because you cant piss sammyboys , they make up huge portion of the video views
They're biased
@@fantasytky28going in the comment section it's all Sony fanbois. Samsung ultra has been famous but Sony makes phones for niche audience which you searched for or got recommended. So every Sony phone comparison you see photography and Sony enthusiast. In reality, not everyone has the time to shoot raw.
Taking telephoto with Xperia 1 V using digital/hybrid zoom equvalent of 82 mm sucks. Use 85 mm next time.
You used the iPhone ultra wide which is the worst camera. Not the 48mp pro raw lens.
Photots and videos taken with iphones have always been disappointing. I'm shocked that apple biased Android Authority doesn't hail the iphone as the king, like they usually do. And photos shot on Auto always never tell the true story of what a camera is actually capable of.
What about S23U?
Is it truly possible to be 100% unbiased in this coming from a Apple fan boy as you are I see the Apple watch on your wrist all you tech UA-camrs just speak fluff about Android because you don't actually use it as a daily driver like your main personal number that your parents and family have I guarantee is on an iPhone... Even though when you did an unbiased review like this one good job by the way you're still going to use an iPhone as your daily driver aren't you?
how does it feel to be an isheep. This is a camera test not the daily fuking driver comparison
I picked out the 23 ultra everytime. Easily. Because it caters to my likes in a photo. Imo it was the best almost all the time. That was easy lol. Others were blurry, oversharpened, too green of a tint, too dark(just didn't look good). Samsung killed it!
Xperia is 4k,Samsung is?
C'mon mate,Sony is easily the best smartphone this year,including the tv also.
Samsung for the blowout win.
You need a real photographer to really take a vs on this one because the sony xperia's try to be more than a real camera not a machine take and computes images for you.
I see videos of real photographer's take shoots with that camera and really I won't think you can get similar shoots on another phone because of that, you won't have total control of the camera only the IA.
All versus cameras on phones are not only cameras, is the post process on how the phone software handle the photo.
The Huawei P60 Pro 😊
The Samsung looks really good" Jesus, really? That shot of your colleague looks awful.
I watched the video on my Motorola Edge Plus 2023.
For me it goes Sony round 1 and 2 pixel round 3 and iPhone round 4 and 5
Xperia price is way too much, but it is only for enthusiasts and camera buffs.
The iPhone is shockingly bad; what the heck happened to Apple? The S23U was always in my top 2 (not being able to compare side by side), except for one. Samsung's done an amazing job.
Apple's photos just slowly get worse each year unfortunately.
I never take iPhone photos on an Android-biased channel seriously. I always think they take multiple photos of a scene until they get a bad one and then use that. I certainly get better photos than this on my iPhone!
@@andyH_England Same thing iPhone/Apple channels do against Android phones.
@@andyH_Englandi regret buying 14 pro. I hate the images it takes except videos and telephoto images
As a photographer i see the x15 has way better than anyone and the rest are way sharper for me
3 Android phones traded blows but one thing is clear: the iPhone photos are the worst. This generation of iphones really suffered from over-processing. The iPhone 13 Pro takes much better photos than the 14. Even my 12ProMax's photos look better in most situation.
idk why is was so freaking easy to pick out what phone took what shot even on the first round. the iphone really is just shit but only looks better on snapchat when taken in the app.
Extremely easy to guess which one is the Samsung. Oversaturated like always. The same goes for their TVs.
Good video. Just one little note here. There is no way to fix oversharpened photo using photo editing apps.
Niño mulach tech vlogger na din pala
Hb best budget phone camera
Pixel 7 Pro was the most consistent among all and it is also the cheapest.
The last photo from Sony was actually the worst.Overall, Sony has won clear to me. The colors and the details are unbeatable, the sharpening is not that bad.Now it's important to note that Sony has never been the king of automatic mode.They have really delivered on the other hand and you also get the only real camera in a smartphone.Overall, Sony has the best device of the year so far for me.
Just a guess but I don't think the photos were shot in Sony's manual mode which is the main purpose of this phone but yeah Sony's not trying to compete with these unnatural AI night shots other phones are going for
To be fair, Sony JUST started doing AI/Computational Photography for phones while Samsung, Google, and Apple have been refining their algorithms for years. Perhaps if Sony keeps updating it, it will come out on top in that category as well. But that's a big if. Also, there's the comprehensive manual controls to make it closer to how you like it. All these phones/cameras seem to trade blows though so it's a good competition.
@@Bristecom Have you actually ever owned a new Sony device?Sony flattens everything when it comes to cameras.I had the S21ULTRA, Pixel 6.7Pro......Now the Pro i I guarantee you that Sony is in a whole other league More like a camera than a smartphone.
I am between Google Pixel 7 pro and Samsung s23 ultra...
I think I prefer Google Pixel 7 pro....
I cannot believe that Iphone was the worse...at least for me :p
My favorite was down google pixel 7 pro
What the frick is Apple doing atm.
S23 was the best of all, iphone as always is fooked!!
