The Best Camera in Any Phone... With a Catch! 

top tier comment

Compare with iphone in my channel

Bruh🤣

I wonder where they keep the guy who names the PlayStations.

lmao definition of a password

😂😭so true!

Wouldn't the price gap between other comparable flagship phones allow you to buy a much better camera (DSLR/Mirrorless) therefore rendering the Xperia Pro I effectively useless, overpriced even?

no.

@@clobetasolpropionate8196 you could buy a fuji x100v and a pixel probably

@@salmanul_fares I was thinking an iPhone 13 pro Max 512GB that's around 1400usd so a 400usd DSLR or Mirrorless which I have no doubt blows all smartphones.

There is budget Sony phone that has water drop notch

i have a sony xperia 1 and i have no idea how the bezels can bother anyone, yet i see people say how ugly it looks because of the "huge" bezels. i personally think it looks a lot nicer and it gives you something to hold without constant accidental screen presses.

@@kexec. if you read the comment you would've realized it was a joke

Sony = Shitty Phone Lol

@@kexec. Ikr, why people keeps reviewing this trash

eco friendly is to keep using your existing, working, good enough phone for a couple more years until it dies, then send it out for recycling. To use no plastic on the packaging is nice, but it does not change the fact that Sony is a huge manufacturer that pollutes, consumes resources and generates tons of waste just in order to sell consumer products. Every step counts but maybe the truly revolutionary would be to make a new model every 2 years instead of every year, that would save more resources and help the planet more than any non-plastic wrap. ( I dont mean to be rude to your comment or anything, not trying to start a fight here XD)

@@SHENRAR yeah true dat, but it's better than most manufacturer / company that says they did this kind of thing for the betterment of environment but took the charger out of the original set up so you have to buy it separately which will come in another packaging that most likely will waste another plastic thingy. Sony also limit their quick charge from 18-30 Watt to maintain the battery health so it will have a longer lifetime. But then again, it's a businesses. This company needs to produce and sell something new every year to keep the business running.

@@SHENRAR That's why Sony doesn't have planned obsolescence. You can use their phones for a long time (4+ years) without any noticeable degradation to the phone's functionality unlike certain companies that I prefer not to name. Sony has all sorts of systems to prolong the lifespan of the battery like Qnovo adaptive charging and battery care that really helps in the long term. Look, it's your choice if you keep supporting products that have planned obsolescence. In the end, it is you that is causing damage to the environment.

@@pixels_per_inch I have not mentioned programmed obsolescence, I talked about customers not buying a new phone when theirs still work. I am aware of the quality of Sony products, but to reduce consumption, we need to stop buying constantly, because we do whether we need it or not, and the responsible thing would be for us to slow down and for them to adapt to that.

@@pixels_per_inch I am sorry for coming back to this conversation when it was clearly ended, but I got a notification and re-read your comment, and in the last part, where you say that "at the end is you who is causing damage to the environment" I cant disagree more. Of course we have a lot of responsibility with our consumption decisions, but you dont pollute, you dont go outsource to third world countries to save money on labor, you dont invest in a business model that deforest the world and transport goods twice around the world just to save some marginal profits, the companies you buy from do that, not you, you see the final product but not the process, and they are well aware of that and keep it to themselves. Does Nestle tell you in their ads that the chocolate you buy is responsible for slave labor? Does Zara tells you they use kids from Bangladesh to sew their clothes? they hide that and sell you lifestyle. The only way to get to know about that stuff is to dig deep into everything you buy and, they know only a minimal fraction of their clients will do that. the narrative that you are the one killing the planet is really good for the ones on top, damn, even the concept of "personal carbon footprint" was introduced by BP to make you think that you making toast for breakfast was what was heating up the planet. Again, I am not here to fight, just thought this was something worth said here.

Sony could be braver and build a camera phone like the Samsung S4 Zoom. That is still one of my favorite phones/cameras because it has great optics, good optical zoom range, great stereo microphones, oled screen,... I recorded tons of live music events with it because it looked like a phone (to pass security) and performed like a camera. Maybe you can convince one of your managers to pick up this idea again.

LG WAS SO CLOSE TO REVELOTIONAISE PHONES BUT NOW OPPO TOOK THE TROCH WITH THE EXPANDING PHONE

There’s a reason they failed. Extremely low quality control, and the UI was one of the worst in Android world.

Lg was the worst. They had great ideas to push the competition in the right direction but their phones were garbage. The software was probably the worst you could find in a phone and the customer service for phones was made by the already existing customer service for their others products, to save cost. No need to mention it was infuriating, talking to someone that absolutely don"t know shit about the product for whom the only answer was reboot the phone or piss off. I'm glad they didn't survived in this market.

Agreed. I especially liked how Marques' skin tone came out on the Sony

yea me too

same here human, same here

Yup, you could see how processed the iPhone pics were in comparison to the more natural Sony pics. I prefer more natural pics, that Im sure you can process with filters afterwards, compared to a processed picture that you would further process with more filters.

same same

And no ugly smartphone sharpening.

The photos actually look almost exatcly like their A-series cameras

yes, they are also closer to reality. but most people are already living in a distorted reality which is amplified by social media and all the filters applied on the images, so they will prefer the distorted images of the iphone

The images from the Sony were sharper and had much much more dynamic range than the iphone. Everyone is just used to looking at overprocessed images that come out of smart phones these days. The smart person would use the images from the Sony and then use an image editor like Lightroom to bump chanels to suit.

Thank you. You didn't get cheated by this paid & staged🍏 boy

ye no professional is ever going to pay 1700 dollars for a phone to take photos on auto

And why would someone spend over a $1,000 just to get a headphone jack and expandable storage? Things are pretty sorted below that price tag from many brands, unless Sony offered any unique or standout feature.

@@kawaki3556 pretty much the reason why people would spend more for a foldable phone. It's because it's their taste. To begin with, expandable memories and headphone jack had more than enough room inside the phone, companies just prioritized their bluetooth headphone lines over anything else and they wanted to push their more expensive pro siries with bigger storage so they remove those handy features. It's pretty ironic how cheaper phone has more features nowadays. The only ones that keep their headphone jacks for their flagships are Sony phone and Chinese made gaming phones.

@@kawaki3556 you're kinda missing the fact that you're getting both of these _on top_ of a high-end phone.

@Joe not everyone has access to or wants to deal with cloud storage. I feel safer having my files on an encrypted SD card.

@Joe I think the fact that people give up and buy into is why it's going to that today.

@@00O3O1B a lot of Gcam modded apps have raw option. The problem is that you need to have camera2api enabled to use the gcam. Nowadays nearly all Xiaomi smartphones have that by default, but others... Ps. For example my xiaomi mi a3 has camera2api. The problem is that it doesn't seem to be fully enabled on the wide camera... Or at least.. It works only with some versions...

Exactly, it feels way more natural and more somehow more/better detailed (maybe it's the texture) than just increasing the brightness to highlight everything.

Same I don't like fake looking pictures that samsung and apple give out of there cameras

@@00O3O1B iphones can save proRaw as well so you can take or leave the processing.

I saw also that, I mean he compared the photos with the iPhone, don’t get me wrong I have a iPhone 12 too, and his skin in those photos was yellow green tinted… I mean it was much more flattering the look from Sony, especially on that back camera selfie

gotta save for this SX Pro-i

It's less bright and flashy, but more true to life... Maybe with some post processing or more careful adjustment of the controls, the Sony could produce as good or better results than the iPhone, but the iPhone, Samsung, and Pixel have that computational/AI advantage where it's a much more "one-click for great results" solution, just one that gives you less control for the results you want, even if they are great. So Sony is definitely targeting a niche here, but a niche that clearly exists. And as far as Sony phones go, I've gotta say this is the coolest one I've ever seen from them, so they're going in the right direction.

I almost feel Sony is secretly mimicking canon on this camera. Since canon doesn’t have a Camera on a phone

@@datachu yeah i kinda like the more realistic colours compared to the iphone. but i wouldnt blame people for liking the iphone because it does give off nostalgic vibes(if i even make sense at this point lol)

@@trollpotatoe what you mean is warm color, but yeah sony don't have that AI thing but i love how you can create the same picture with just some adjusting setting in camera menu well people don't care because that not confined to setting manually but with advance camera setting sony can make any image like apple, samsung, google with just change the setting on camera that why i can say sony have unique and special features and the pro literally for professional not just "pro" in other phone but still for photographers like me i still choose dslr 👀 well i have 2 sony phone for daily drive not for taking photo

totally agree!

Exactly

Yes! Look at the selfie, his skin looks washed out & ashy on the iPhone 13 Pro image.

I agree! I was confused when he presented to second set of comparison photos. Clearly the right is more true-to-life and more dynamic

So True. Except for the first one, all the other images of Sony are better than the iPhone's.

I understand what you are getting at, but it is not really true and it is very evident by the quality of the photos that Marques showed here from the Sony compared to the iPhone. Any decent camera, event a point and shoot like the Sony RX will have way better quality than any phone camera can produce. Mobile photography always has that fake HDR look to it, even during the day, never enough contrast since the dynamic range is faked. Of course some shots do benefit a lot from that computational photography so out of the camera and to people that don't really understand post processing it is way easier to get a better photo on an iPhone or similar, but there is still no competition between a dedicated camera and a phone. With this said, the best camera is the one you got with you, so most times that is your phone! :)

@@greven182 Yes, completely agree about that fake HDR look! We're nowhere near the point yet where I'd trade my Sony A7S II for a phone camera. Although as you point out, most people won't notice it that much under "normal" (i.e. whatever the algorithms have been optimized for) conditions. However I'd go even further and say that it's not just that non-photographers don't notice, it's rather that phones and cameras are competing in slightly different spaces. For someone creating photos that are to be viewed on a small screen, competing against over-saturated Instagram photos, while under time pressure to get content out immediately during some event, those iPhone/Samsung/Pixel phone cameras might just be the better tool for the job even for people heavily invested in all their proper camera gear.

@@PascalSommerMovies Completely agree with that. Would love that my phone have as great image quality as my mirrorless in some years, but physical limits won’t make it true unless ML get so good to the point of faking the image quality. I do wish there would be a Sony alpha camera mixed with a Pixel phone tho!

and this is why i switched to a samsung s22 from a p40. the software isn't that good. the camera is amazing on the p40 dont get me wrong but sometimes its let down because of the software plus having no software updates and flares is really annoying. glad i switched to the s22. amazing software and hardware + snapdragon gen 1 is amazing when it comes to photography!!

@@greven182 You hit the nail. Even in 2008 I took some "great" photos with my mobile phone. But it was all HDR processing in reality

Most pros do. They know how to create.

That’s true. Ever since I got my new iPhone, my Instagram photos look way too bright and not as moody as I want them to be.

exactly what I was thinking. I actually prefer the photos shown on the right

Yeah same, of the photo comparisons he showed, l preferred the look of Sony's phones more often than iPhones

Me too! And I'm not even a pro.

Wow you’re so special and have such good taste!

Haha me too, I choose what looks more natural and not brighter

then it would cost $2,400

@@SRC267 At it's current $1800 price I doubt an extra $600 would have stopped anyone from buying it who wasn't going to buy it for $1800. And they'd get an even better camera.

Panasonic CM1 used the full 1in sensor & that for its time started at $1.4k if I remember correctly.

@@Alex_564 Yeap and it's over twice as thick, they definitely researched the pros and cons of what they did.

@@Exyvia Exactly, at that point you might as well get the RX100

True

When he said this, I immediately remembered who was always saying this. :))

Well working sensor area is same as pixel 6's.. so in theory only would do better probably that sonys sensor is full bayer array, and in past gcam worked better than those quad bayer sensors. Btw the difference from the pixel 6 still would be like few %..

pixel 6 is has almost same sensor size still they are struggle to produce consistent shots

@@00O3O1B yeah, this won't give you a processed image coz that processing is supposed to be your job as a pro. This isn't for the mainstream casual buyer

It would look super bad! And overprocessed!

Except the first one, yea the Xperia ones were better

MAN that sony is sooo crisp , like if u have adobe or lightroom , u can definitely create something beautiful

Unfortunately not the majority thinks this way. People are so used to cringey stuff, one of the result is end of LG phones

Now that you mention it, the Xperia series seems to "die" in the media every couple years, until they don't.

It’s like the dude who lives in his parents basement always saying he will be rich from crypto one day but only loses money from it.

@@Instantur It's different when you're an E-girl wearing a bikini on stream for twitch subs using your Sony Xperia as a webcam while your gaming rig mines whatever crypto currency Elon Musk says is *in* right now Edit: I should probably mention that this is not career advice despite how successful some results may be

The specs of the phone are amazing. 6 inch screen size. 4k video. 120 hrtz refresh rate. 1 inch sensor on a smartphone. Separate shutter button. All those features sound like things we would want. It’s wild that the IPhone 13 takes “better” pictures while saving you 600.00$

Yeah. The lens does not cover the whole sensor

I'd said similar. A surprisingly large amount of misinformation in this video all following on from that one incorrect fact.

@@anirbanbiswas3990 That's a completely different matter.

@@asystole_ ?

@@Rick_Air He also compared aperture numbers between different phones with different sized sensors without adjusting for crop factor.

It's like he said in the vid, the vast majority of people (particularly average consumers) always pick the brighter more vibrant photos, even if they aren't as detailed or color accurate. The blind smartphone camera test he does every year kinda proves it too. Phones that have better cameras on paper generally lose to phones that do bright/vibrant photos.

@@VMYeahVN True but I’m pretty sure Sony isn’t marketing to the average consumer, but rather to photo enthusiasts and professionals.

Agree, he should have made a poll or something, Sony pictures looks way better

@@becomingfr33 Yeah, we'll see what happens in the next blind smartphone camera test. The audience for that is usually enthusiasts and techies and the bright vibrant pic phones usually won that over the accurate/detailed pics too. I guess the grander point is that while accurate it doesn't look impressive. Other phones ride the line better where it looks realistic but still has a little pop to it. Marques was just pointing out that the phone is doing little to no processing, almost to a fault. And even when it comes to enthusiasts and photographers, the phones catch of not actually using the full 1 inch sensor is an issue too. So I don't think it would sell well even among enthusiasts/photographers. It's a great try but they're still not ultimately achieving their goal, even when it comes to appealing to enthusiasts/niche.

yeah i agree especially the photo of the red mag, the skintone on the iphone is really not good and you can see the oversharpening process while the sony give the most natural look skintone and better detail

I agree that there's a kinda finesse that is missed when looking at just brightness and focus. I went from an old mid-tier single camera phone to a new mid-tier multi camera phone and while it should be an upgrade (and in some ways is) I just hate the pictures it takes. On the old phone it felt straight forward and rewarding to use manual controls, this feels like it's not even worth trying.

That's the "Pro" is the name. It means you get all the necessary ingredients but YOU get to decided what kind of meal you want. Unlike Apple and others that serve up the "meal of the day", and you either take it, or leave it.

@pïññed By Märqüës brôwñlēē stfu scam bot

The double edged sword is, Sony is making sensors for companies that do computational photography WAY better, so they’ll probably beat Sony there.

Nokia were once very close to that with their pure view phones

Nope. They're too expensive and too niche. They would be unpopular in other markets just like they are here and would never be a concern to Apple or Samsung as they are. Btw what phone do you use?

🤣😂

remember in 2013 the samsung s4 zoom i think it was called ,that had a proper optical 10x zoom lens that came out the phones body, that was a phone on a camera not a camera on a phone ,and that allowed the samsung phones to be used as a remote viewfinder and trigger

Remembered the Galaxy Camera 2? It was basically a point-and-shoot with a Galaxy S3 slapped on the back 👌

Idk, to me it seems somewhat opposite. They're using the things from other more successful parts of the company to Frankenstein a phone. I'm sure that the BionZ processor, plus the CMOS sensor are benefiting from economics of scale, so just like apple using their M1 in everything, Sony is using components readily available to reduce costs in R&D. And then they're not putting in the work to actually optimize the phone experience, but instead hoping that the wow factor of a 1 inch sensor will be enough to buy a phone for such an insane price.

I don’t think we should. That’s like giving out participation medals and trophies. We can say this is a bad phone without hating on Sony.

I highly doubt that Sony can make a good budget phone. The Xperia 10 line is maybe not really budget, but somewhat affordable. The problem is that the 10 is so inferior to the Xperia 5 and Xperia 1 and even other phones in that price range. It does have head phone jacket and a SD slot, but on all other aspects it is a mediocre phone. Even the camera on the Xperia 10 is not that good. It feels like they design the software for their high-end phones and it doesn't really work on the cheaper Xperia 10.

Naahh, budget phone has been their Achilles heel, imo lol. I owned the Xperia C, Xperia E, and used the 1st-gen Xperia 10 for 2 months. They're pretty lackluster for the price. I'm more of the "they should just focus on building flagships" crowd, personally.

​@@turbotaquitogoogle8095 It's based on old Video Camera Tubes - the "sensors" (cathode ray tubes) used in television cameras back in the days before the first "modern" CCD sensors in the 1980s. Of course marketing people always use the largest number they can claim, so these were marketed by the external physical diameter of the tube made of thick glass, so the useful diagonal was much smaller - a 1" tube (25mm) would only have about 16mm of useful diagonal sensitive area. When modern silicon CCD and CMOS sensors started replacing them, marketing people conveniently borrowed that old convention (that at least had some basis back in the day) to call 16mm diameter rectangular sensors 1" (25mm) sensors although there is nothing on the sensor that measures anywhere close to 25mm.

It’s eaven smaller, because sony use not the whole sensor, it’s about 1/1,38”

@@JC-XL Shit, that's pretty cool. Thanks for the response!

I thought the exact same thing. The Xperia cone picture looked like it was true to life but the iPhone version just looked better. The others I think the xperia had a better and more natural look

agreed 100

Other products: I have been using this phone for weeks now and heres my thought. Sony: I have been using this phone for 10mins and here's my thought

@@fantasytky28 That's what I was wondering. No RAW images? No footage from Cinema Pro?

@@pixels_per_inch lol you even expecting raw and cinema pro footage? He don't even show a simple video footage, and only merely less than 5 pics to conclude the whole product. Expecting Sony to be properly reviewed as their intended usage is not what they do in this channel, at least for Sony. Go back and watch any of the Sony videos in this channel, none of them properly reviewed as targeted usage. And this video just prove it even further. It is such a pro and versatile camera system and the review given here are not even fair review to a 300 dollar phone. Even his review/ads on a case/sticker is way properly done than this video

When they make phones like this, it's clear they don't want to be adopted by the public

great hardware, terrible software

Their software is garbage Used an z3 and later an xz3 And the software experience was terrible, they take so many questionable decisions that shoot them in the foot.

@@evila9076 Samsung software is garbage not Sony's. Sony's one is refined. My favourite after Stock Android.

Buy one, try it. I Z3+, XA1, 1II owner here. Looks great, doesn't work.
