Steven can you please do a mega camera comparison between iphone 15 pro max, samsang s24 ultra, google pixel 8, xiaomi 14 ultra and Sony Xperia 1VI, we would love it. Please
It has a headphone jack, sd card slot, good batery, good camera, but 6.5" sound gigantic. So I went to check it out in-person. No show rooms near me have it and the only 5 VI I found was broken. That does not bode well...
I really loved the thing that you bringing more and more good content like this street photography, we would love to watch street photography mobile reviews... Thank you Steven love from India❤
@@Elijah-fc3ex As a photographer I'll tell you that the Xperia is a great phone for those who shoot sony and need a decent substitute for when they cant bring their big boy camera. When it comes to autofocus and camera control and actually taking pictures Xperia is peak in that regard. When it comes to hardware like sensors and lenses Xperia really does fall behind sadly. It doesn't help that it has little to none computational photography features either which is why it will fail with jpgs compared to other phones. Imo if your really serious about photography then the Xiaomi 14 ultra is the best camera phone flagship of this year
RAWS on Xiaomi suck major ass. In this regard, Xperia is king. Samsung RAWs are decent too (Pro RAW, not Expert RAW, those are still oversharpened as hell) but nothing compared to Sony. Ofc, if they had bigger sensors things would still be better, mainly on telephoto, at least a 1/2.5... or maybe triple Exymor T sensors. Who knows, maybe their current sensors that Sony use on the 1 VI are the most colour accurate.
@@tiagomachado5360 As a Xiaomi owner the raws are actually perfect. It's almost comparable to my Sony A7 especially when it comes log video on the main sensor. Xiaomi has 14 bit raw too. Also Xiaomi has much better sharpness than Sony
@@azuki2919 well, I used the RAWs on the regular Xiaomi 14 for a while and they were pretty disappointing. Looked pre-sharpened with a very questionable colour science.
I went from Xperia 1 IV to Xiaomi 14 Ultra, mainly due to your review of that phone compared to Samsung Galaxy 24 Ultra & another video comparison of Xiaomi 14 Ultra vs. Xperia 1 VI. My main takeaway is the lens & sensor quality on Xperia 1 lineup is not good, especially for the price. The software is fine, nothing amazing. Sony's color science is okay as well.
I use Mac and prefer iOS but prefer Xperia 1 VI more natural look camera quality, do you think that 2X tele macro, no hole screen, fingernail level of removable SIM and microSD card tray and headphone jack is worth to switch? It seem like there isn't much variation in macro photography and if I want to explore macro world for education purposes, I can just google it, hence no need to consider it on the camera departments?
The only i like about SONY they keep it original and SD Card slot. I wish i have Sony but I'm not photographer but i love taking photos and videos with my s23 Ultra. I love this video, keep it up 😃
@@riowinaryo18_86 I absolutely agree! The sd card slot and headphone jack are the main highlights, Still very difficult to justify the $1500 price tag for me. thanks a lot for watching and your support!
I have been very frustrated with my iPhone 13 taking low res and extremely processed shots. I upgraded to an iPhone 16 but am considering a return because despite the much higher res, shots still AI enhanced and the colors aren’t quite natural, especially at night. Do you think an Xperia 1 VI would be a better fit? I am chasing the most natural shots with the most unprocessed detail rendering and most true to life colors. I need it to be a solid point and shot (lots of pet pictures) but I have heard good things about the newest Sony camera app.
Steven which phone do you think has the best camera and video quality overall, from all the phones that have been released (and that you’ve tested of course) in the past 12 months?
The true view from the phone actually makes it clear that the weakest link for xperia 1 mark 6 is the small sensor size for the telephoto and macro. This makes it clear that sony needs to improve upon their camera sensor. Im hoping for better low light photography especially telephoto from xperia 1 mark 7 next year to jump from samsung.
I love the review, thanks for sharing. I think the telephoto doesnt look that compelling. Could you please buy and review the Vivo X100 Ultra please. Thats a true flagship for Zoom and optical camera quality!
To be honest Your IPhone 15 photo review was absolutely fantastic. But the xperia is like taking kinda dull and gloomy photos and also now I'm thinking about the xperia 1V was better😂 Oh and also you forgot to take the telephoto macro shots. Eagerly waiting for the next one. Make a review on iphone 15 vs 1VI soon please. Take love💙💙
you are correct, the telephoto is actually soft its been like this since the 1v i wonder how this 'optical' zoom will fair against xiaomi 120mm prime...
@@StevenDivish its because it's a zoom lense, which usually have worse sharpness than primes, the lenses are plastic too,(normal for phone zoom lenses but others use better plastic or glass+plastic) Most importantly, the sensor is tiny, thus worse details, noise etc
@@StevenDivish if sony wants to implement a proper optical zoom lens, they can, just that the phone will have much bigger camera bump than even the Xiaomi, they'd need a main camera grade sensor like 1/1.5 inch AND use majority glass+ some plastic element lense if not fully glass.

Any good cases for this phone? I was thinking of getting a custom Devil case for this but idk if I should go for a black case or green to match the phone
Did you know... you can install Google Camera (GCAM) on all Android phones? Maybe that'd solve the over exposure in images since it's using Google's AI to process the images.
Steven, could you review about the new Blackmagic Camera App for Android? And how it fares with respect to the Pro Video modes of the Android phones? This could give a huge insight
@@EvanKenobi there’s no point to show RAW photo out of camera without editing If you want to see unedited jpegs from Xperia, watch my comparison Xperia vs s24 ultra on the channel
bought that phone and the photos are worse than from my nearly 4 years old s20 fe. even the zoom up until 20x is better on the s20fe. The xperia 1vi is an hilarious fail. I returned it today with no second thought. Gonna keep that phone at least for 3 more years.
Yeah I don’t know what’s happening with the telephoto lens…I guess you also faced the problem with the photos being too soft? the main camera is good though. Either way I’ll cover all that in detail in the next full review🎥🫡
@@StevenDivish 3.5x is sharp but higher gets softer. Looks like digital zoom amd not losless optical. Also, the 3x zoom of my s20fe is so big like the 5x on the xperia. Something is way off with sonys tele lens. Photos with normal lense look washed out compared to my s20fe. i like the more vivid colors better that the "natural" look of the xperia.
@@StevenDivish The previous models had separate specialized camera apps that did what they were intended for very well. I don't like how they basically killed videography on this model at least before they add it with the expected update.
Hey Steven, my name is Johnny and I'm a freelance logo designer, currently I'm looking for more works, do you love to have a logo for your channel's branding to have a memorable graphic based monogram logo to help your audience recognise and follow your channel easier?

Had 1 IV for nearly 2 years. Will not touch Sony phone for a loooong time. By far the most unpolished phone I’ve had and price and resale value is a joke. Out of 100 photos maybe 10 were “wow”. The rest were either ok or plain bad

Hmm it’s a lot of phones to cover in one video 😅
@@StevenDivish I get it.
Pls try more for night photography and videos. Day time photos are great on any phone nowadays. Night time is the real challenge
Exactly that's a lot @StevenDivish
It has a headphone jack, sd card slot, good batery, good camera, but 6.5" sound gigantic. So I went to check it out in-person. No show rooms near me have it and the only 5 VI I found was broken. That does not bode well...
Wow finally Xperia review looking forward for the full video 😊❤

Sony Xperia phones cameras are peak phone cameras.
Why do they always rank near the absolute bottom in blind tests?

Coming soon! Trying to finish it asap!
@StevenDivish can't wait my friend one of these two will be my next phone/camera 👌
The image at 9:05 is worthy of framing on a wall
you're the best reviewer there is!!!
Appreciate that! Thanks for the support!

Yes I was waiting for your review.😊
I'll watch it later cause tomorrow is my test.
Thanks a lot for the review
Take love💙✨

And make sure to come back and watch the video later lol
is there a beauty mode filter? for skin smoothness?

My main takeaway is the lens & sensor quality on Xperia 1 lineup is not good, especially for the price. The software is fine, nothing amazing. Sony's color science is okay as well.
Yeah the 14 Ultra has probably the best camera for photography out of all the phones I've tried so far
I suggest you try out the VIVO X100 Ultra, it has the best camera hardware ever put into a phone, and that ZEISS T-star coating is amazing.
I use Mac and prefer iOS but prefer Xperia 1 VI more natural look camera quality, do you think that 2X tele macro, no hole screen, fingernail level of removable SIM and microSD card tray and headphone jack is worth to switch?

Please leave the pics to look at standing longer… it’s disturbing to stop and adjust the position of the video every time.
Am waiting for your video finally watched 😂
Steven can you do a review about vivo x100 pro? Im sure its one of the best camera phone can get.
too bad they still didn't fix the proximity sensor issue. phone's screen still activates in pocket, even with prevent accidental operations on.
Best camera phone which one

What about xiaomi 14 ultra vivo 100 ultra and some other good phones comparison
coming very soon!
What app do you edit with?
what shutterspeed did you use for your pov? The video isnt 60fps but its also not stuttery like 24 or 30fps usually is
It’s 30 fps I think. I film either 24 or 30 on this channel for most of the shots, except for when I need slow motion then I would opt for 60fps
Some videos tested 60fps stabilizer improved greatly. @@StevenDivish
you are correct, the telephoto is actually soft
its been like this since the 1v
