Sony Xperia 1 VI Photographers First Impressions! 

No problem! More to come!!

thank you!

Agreed, the style is still really good!

You pay 1400 dollars for a weak tele, two years old sensors, expect the main, because of the colour style? That's weird:), for this price you should get a better phone, especially when you look to other periscope lenses working with Sony sensors. The optical zoom from a oppo or vivo is way better as the Xperia. The only point Sony wins is about their focus and read out speed in burst mode, no other can do this:)

@@michaelhuber2013 your comments aren't related to my preference and the way i setup the picture, if you want to have a conversation about that sure! But that has nothing to do how with how I setup my shots:) Oh wait you made a second comment under someone elses reaction, nevermind though this was under the same comment

@@michaelhuber2013 Hey man things are a lot more enjoyable without someone in your ear telling you it’s not worth the price all the time. For some reason in phone comparisons ppl have a hard on for 1000% image crop comparisons when thats the complete opposite of what photography is supposed to be. I can get good images without the overbaked hdr processing of other phones, with nice and deep shadow renditions and have a great in camera preset to work with alongside great looking colours. I really don’t care about price and hardware right now because for all I’m concerned I’m getting my money’s worth, and have what I paid for. For reference I also have a Xiaomi 14 Ultra. 90% of the time I only shoot in Pro Mode + JPG to avoid a lot of the AI artifacting thats all over smartphone images now. I am still using my Xperia more than I am the 14 Ultra even though the technical quality is a lot better on the Xiaomi. Sometimes, a phone is just fun to use, and its limitations don’t necessarily break the experience. For me, the 1 VI is riding that fine line.

@@ThroughJermainesLens that wasn't meant in a bad way:), but the reality bout Sony phones is that they have a problem with overexposure. If I walk through a forest like you I can get perfect shots if I had the time for the right settings. But in real life, especially you have kids, there is no time for settings otherwise the moment is gone. Try to take pictures in sunlight or from moving objects right out of your pocket, you will see what I mean. A photo from a non moving object like a building or an flower you can take with every flagship and you will get great results but I think that a good photo lives from the moment, the moods and the atmosphere too. Like you create your own atmosphere with a bit of underexposure. And this things are often short and you have to take the picture quickly without time for any setting. Like today, I saw a black bee on a yellow flower, great contrast, but directly sunlight. Out of the pocket in auto mode with little time it's difficult to get a really good picture with this light conditions. And I think the pro features and the auto mode would work better with an variable aperture and an integrated nd filter like the rx100 have:) Nice greetings Mike

🤣🤣😅 and yeah got to love having that!

Sony likely will stick to this sensor size. IF they want to make a bigger sensor they got to sacrifice thickness, which they likely won't, unless they changed their mind.

Yeah it sadly is simply too small, it has limitations because of it! But Soon I will be able to get some cool different shots with it!

@@bloodytoad2010 With more flagship smartphones now giving 5500mAh and 6000mAh battery because of the more power-hungry mobile SoC, they have to increase the thickness. There's no way around it.

Will come :D And thank you man!

Hahahaha ja ik had een Insta gekocht alleen the kwaliteit was echt bagger! dus ben aan het zoeken voor betere opties zodat beide handen brij zijn en natuurlijk moet ik er ook in vertrouwen. En dankje!! I kan erop hopen in iedergeval :D

@@ThroughJermainesLens snap ik, goede kwaliteit videos nu al. Ik doe het je niet na

@@MitchellN2002nl dankje man! Waardeer dat!

I will ^^

hehehe, I am not shocked by this ^^ And for myself I find it easier now to reach the top for notifications and so on. And it doesn't feel too wide, that part is nice.

6.5 inches isn't as oversized as the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra at 6.8" or the Vivo X100 Pro at 6.78". Compared to these, it's comparatively one handable.

16/9 wouldnt make any sense. Crap that in your pocket

People have their preferences :) for him 6.5 is too big :)

Bei 16:9 wären die Handys Tablats 🤣

Still not quite on par to LG's built-in Quad DAC, but fine.

@@FAT8893 yeah, but if We look in the general trend of the Market..

hahahaha you're quick!!! And thank you :D and happy July to you as well :)

@@ThroughJermainesLens Thanks :) Yeah Lol. Hope Your Staying Hydrated With Some Water ! 💦💧💧💧

I am trying :P

@@smitjee dankje!!! Smitjee? Mmm dus ook een smit? Hahah 🤣

@@ThroughJermainesLens haha ja, jouw naam doet me denken aan oud voetballer jermain lens haha.

@@smitjee 🤣🤣🤣🤣ben wel een oud voetballer maar meer als in ik deed me toen ik tiener was on ik denk C1 🤣

@@ThroughJermainesLens hier c3 haha, kunnen zo mee met oranje. 😂

@@smitjee whuahahahahahahahaah

That is VERY hard to judge, while the zoom won't be on the same level, I think the main sensor on both is pretty comparable. And thank you of course!

I had the Pro i for two years. The main sensor on the 1v tolerates higher ISO values.

Thank you! :)

yes :) easy to use for it ^^ though sometimes focus a bit hard hahaha

@@ThroughJermainesLens I will switch to 1 VI in January, if possible do 1 VI vs the one you hold on your hand 😀

I will hahaha.

@@ThroughJermainesLens waiting mr.

This is a video on a flagship smartphone, and the included cameras are an important aspect to people interested in flagship smartphones. If you only use a phone for making calls, you might want to check out dumb phones.

Why are you even watching a photography review then?

Sadly I do not have the Oppo so cannot compare it to that :(

Let me guess, you are watching Juan at the moment about the LG stuff:P? hahaha And yeah the telephoto just needs that better sensor, it's too small.

@@ThroughJermainesLens haha. Following Sony for a long time I've seen the good things and the not so good thing. But in the end it's basically a Swiss army knife of a smartphone and definitely a lifestyle based device rather than a smart device like Samsung, Google and Apple. It probably could use even more polished here and there, but whenever it does, it's gets the job done nicely.

@@joelconolly5574 Oh I fully agree there! I really do!!!!!! It is just requires some skill and knowledge :D but they have made it easier it seems with this new one.

@@ThroughJermainesLens true. Still waiting for my country to launch here cause for some reason 2 months is a good time to launch a phone after announcements apparently 🙂

Sony sadly is poor in launching their phones xD

It depends a bit on your demands ^^ So do you want to use it for like 4 years? Then maybe not because it probably won't get any more updates. if you want it for camera then sure why not, just not for portrait ^^

I do not use the camera much. Is the device good in terms of performance, processor, and screen? Thank you for your efforts with us

@@حسنالشمري-غ9ح8ي oh if you don't use the camera much I would look at other phones :) Look a for instance a second hand OnePlus 11 :)

I dont have the vivo x100 ultra but, for what Ive seen so far, its better at the telephoto lens, main sensor also have more details, since its a 1 inch sensor and the quality is awesome, no question, however, 1 VI color science is unparallel, its just... so good, the focus its also great and you can have Google Services native with Android Auto and Wallet out of the box. Chinise phones sadly arent as trusty as the other ones in these terms and lack of those things, I would say makes the other android devices takes the upper hand overall, but if you only focus on the camera specs, the Vivo (althought saturates the images too much to my taste) its the better phone

Didn't edit any of these shots. If I edit shots I put that next to it while also showing without edit.

Sorry at the moment I am not looking to have that done, will try to keep it in mind when I am

@@ThroughJermainesLens i see, let me know when you are ready!

Yes that's the point, he puts his EV on -1.7 so they're supposed to be under exposed

That is what we call preferences

That's no preference, that's a need. Without this all pictures are overexposed:(.... Like the Xperias before....I think they never solve this problem, meanwhile I hate overexposure because it destroy the picture. Every 400 dollar smartphone can handle this better.... that's pity.

@@michaelhuber2013 it is, see how i put EV lower
