I also have the Pro i and have long considered swapping for the 1V. I like the Pro i and I still think it's better with the cam. The battery at the 1V will certainly be much better
Do you try to play games on the pro-i Does the overheat warning show up? The price for pro-i dropped a lot from $7000 to $3199 i wish to upgrade from my 1ii. The 1V is $5699
@@RamlyJer I don't really play on smartphones. However, the Pro i definitely has a heat problem when the outside temperatures are high.And the updates are only limited.If I were to buy new, it would be the 1V. Since I have the Pro i, I'll stick with it. The camera is still fantastic and I also like the design better than the 1V.
Do you too have that notification flickering bug? I have asked on Reddit and many have had it since the last major update. It's a powerful device with an amazing camera that can keep up for years. But it's a shame it has such irritating bugs.
The Xperia 1V is about 1.7 years better in user experience compared to the Xperia PRO-I, which shouldn't come as a surprise. However, if someone who really likes photography compares the still images of the main camera, the Xperia PRO-I may be the winner as a professional photographer. Expanding the dynamic range is not necessarily the correct answer, and you can see that the grade of the optical system is higher for the Xperia PRO-I. Experienced photographers will prefer the Xperia PRO-I. However, the Xperia 1V, which was released 1.7 years later, has steadily evolved in video performance, application perfection, S-CINETONE, creative look, etc. Also, the Xperia 1V may be easier to use for non-professionals. Above all, as a smartphone, the difference in SoC is intense. The Xperia PRO-I uses the infamous Samsung SoC SD888, while the Xperia 1V uses the popular TSMC SoC SD8 Gen2, which makes a big difference in heat and performance. On the contrary, the Xperia PRO-I, which was able to take this many photos 1.7 years ago, is amazing. I want to give you my best compliments.
@@abrafi4713 That's half right and half wrong. At least the lens performance of Xperia PRO-I uses a higher grade. This is evident even when looking at lens flares.
In general both are great phone Both are the best Xperia phones right now But in terms of the processor The xperia 1v is better The 8 gen 2 makes the phone more stable and better in terms of battery also the 1 v It has a bigger battery and better speakers + wireless charging + brighter display and lighter weight I think the pro i 2 will be stronger if Sony decides to continue pro series Now I use the Xperia 1 v In my experience this is the best Sony phone I used in my life I used all z and xz and 1 + pro series
Thank you for the comparison. Pro-I holding up pretty good. Like the colors and shadows in stills. Got my 1 V but haven't had the chance to try it out yet.
I almost pulled the trigger on the 1 V but I'm staying put with the Pro-I. It would be nice to finally have 5G and a better battery and a brighter screen, but I'll wait to see if there will be a Pro-I 2.
The Pro i 2 will be an amazing device. I hope it retains the 1” sensor while using the stacking technology in the 1V. A true 48MP shooter or more. Take my money now
Thank you LL Tech for your very comprehensive review of the cameras on these two phones. I was determined to buy Sony Pro i for the last few months. The 1" Ziess main camera was the main selling point for me. But this particular phone was released 3/2021, which left me concerned about the internal electronics & technology, which rapidly changes in our day and age & occasionally for the better !! I had not yet considered the Xperia 1 V (released 7/2023) until I saw your review. To make my long story shorter :) I believe you have convinced me (at least for my wants & needs), the Xperia 1 V is the best choice for me. One last item: could you or your viewers recommend a Bluetooth wireless grip/gimble w/ a remote screen for the Sony 1 V? I live in the US so my options seem limitless here. BTW, Timmy almost stole the show, haha. He looks very happy & very very healthy. Once again thank you for your review & keep up your great work. Subscribed !!
The 1 v has the Pro-i beat on the Zoom & Night Mode, but everything else is pretty much the same, I'm not going to upgrade my Pro-i until next year or later. Great video review!
@@abrafi4713I have the Pro-I for two weeks now, and the battery is never a concern. One time it got to 20% and asked me to use Stamina mode. Otherwise, I forgot about the habit of charging it overnight, and always put it on charge to top up from 40-50% to 80% every day. It would probably last me 2 days. I browse a lot of social media, google chrome, youtube, utility apps all the time. It's my computer basically. And yeah, I play with the camera a lot, which does drain battery maybe twice as much. But I feel like it is far better than a compact camera anyway.
I had the Xperia pro 1 for 2 years and have had the one-mark 5 for a month now Of course, the one Mark five now has nice things like night mode... The sensor can handle significantly higher ISO values and retains the dynamics much better and hardly produces any noise.However, I often like JPG better with the pro i. Overall, I would say the camera quality of the One Mark Five is slightly better.What is definitely much better is the battery life, which now lasts about twice as long!!!And the display also becomes significantly brighter.It is also much lighter and therefore sits even better in the hand.Now Focus Peking is also supported, which brings a clear advantage here and there. Schade ist dass die Variable Blende jetzt fehlt......Both are great devices but now I would buy the one Mark five or wait for the successor 😅
I had the Xperia pro 1 for two years and have had the one mark five for about a month now. There is no clear winner when it comes to camera quality.The fact is that the Xperia one Mark 5 copes much better with higher ISO values, which simply makes taking photos much easier in many situations. The optical zoom sounds nice, but the quality is significantly worse than the main sensor. However, the battery now lasts about twice as long as the Xperia pro 1. And the display becomes significantly brighter in the sun. The one 5. is also significantly lighter For me, however, the pro-i ran more smoothly than the one Mark five..... Both great devices but now I would buy the one Mark five.
@@sosiehtesaus2652so, this way, you’d like to say that sony xperia 1 mark 5 better than pro i? nowadays i’ve got to decide which to buy. it’s about 700€ for 1 mark 5 and 630€ for pro i. i really don’t know which one should i buy, and i suppose may be pro i can be a bit old, because of its ages. thanks a lot!
@@tas1l404 I was also happy with the 1V, but it didn't run smoothly for me. I don't know if this problem still exists. Software updates for the Pro i are definitely a problem.If it's not too much more expensive financially I would really recommend the 1vi.I think it's by far the best of the three.And you get three years of support.
Thank you! It is the video comparison I have been waiting for! Can I confirm if both the Xperia 1 V and Pro-i has a maximum shutter speed of 1/8000? As I need to know to perform certain testing.
Really great review between these two camera first smartphones and something I've always wanted to do but don't have access to an Xperia 1 V. If someone doesn't care for the most current smartphone features but still want a great main camera, the Xperia PRO-I is still going to be good in 2024 and equal to or better than the I V in most situations. I use it 90% of the time. But if they want a brighter display, better stereo speakers, bigger battery and a better zoom camera (zoom camera on the PRO-I is best used for portraits), the I V is a better choice. A lot of the issues between the two can be improved in post editing, they have alot more room to work with compared to other flagship smartphones. Keep up the wonderful reviews and hopefully the Xperia PRO-I II will come out so you can do an excellent review on it!
@@lltechview Thanks. I've got a pixel 6 pro, and it's good, but the Sony picture and video quality seems way better. I think the pixel is just better for point and shoot and the zoom lens but apart from that it's all for the Sony. I saw your pixel 6 comparison to the Sony 1 iii, And the video quality of the Sony was way better and also the photos were more natural. I've seen an Xperia 1 iv selling cheap on eBay that's why. I'm sure the Vivo x100 pro is really good and the xiaomi 14 Ultra but they are just way too expensive.
Even a year later, this is still a tough decision. The 1 V can record 4K/120fps on all three cameras and has variable zoom, but the Pro-I has dual aperture and the biggest sensor on an Xperia smartphone yet.
I received my Xperia 1 V last week and I've noticed that the camera module makes noticeable humming noise when any camera app is opened, at least in comparison to 1 III. Seems to be widespread issue. Could you check if yours is so loud too?
The processing on the Xperia pro-i for video is much much better, and I think that Sony should make that their standard. It looks much better and more realistic as well in my opinion
@@MuhammadKharismawan I wasn't talking about s cinetone, I was talking about the white balance and exposure of xperia pro-i compared to the xperia 1V, the processing is much better in my opinion for pro-i
@@MuhammadKharismawanoh and I don't think that xperia 1v is recording with s cinetone. And s cintone can still look better and more cinematic than regular even without editing. Also it also reduce color saturation and smoothes the contrast.
@@MuhammadKharismawan he didn't mention that he is using s cinetone on xperia 1v. And shots looked over exposed, s cinetone only adjusts white balance and skin tones, and desaturate the colors and slightly reduces the contrast, but it doesn't adjust the exposure
why is the 1v so washed out especially in the main camera video? it almost looks like the lens is dirty..? other comparisons seem to show them more close... is the i camera that much batter contrast?
I was using Pro-I, now using 1 v. I would say 1 V is a better phone. Missing notification LED tho. Better battery life, brighter screen, better microphone and speakers, covers more cellular bands. In terms of camera it only misses varaible aperture. Side note about zoom on 1 V: as it is nice to have optical zoom in whole range 85-125 mm with 125 mm pictures look so soft (must try with tripod). I would risk statement that 2 telephoto cameras with different zoom level would be better in terms of pic quality.
could you please do Xperia 1 V vs Xiaomi Ultra 13 comparison on video and also low light? I am leaning heavily towards the xperia with only the xiaomi in consideration as an alternative, thank you for all the content, great channel
Mit dem ISO Wert im S Mode ist wirklich Quatsch 😅 Ein nativer Wert von ISO 100 ist besser. Du kannst eine kürzere Verschlusszeit beim Pro i wählen. Das ist ja ein Vor und kein Nachteil. Außerdem kannst du beim Pro i ja auch die 4.0er Blende wählen. Bei den Videos gehe ich davon aus, dass du beim 1V einen Filter drin hattest? Mir gefallen die Photos beim Pro i nach wie vor sehr gut und ich denke besser als beim 1v. Ich bleibe beim Pro i und warte auf das Pro i 2.
@@lltechview Ja, hat mir im direkten Vergleich nicht so gut gefallen. Versuch doch mal am Abend bei wenig aber ausreichend Licht ein Photo mit Stativ. Ich würde in den M Mode gehen, beide auf ISO 100 festsetzen und mit jeweils gleicher Belichtungszeit ein paar Aufnahmen machen..... Die Belichtungszeit nach und nach bei beiden gleichermaßen anheben und beide natürlich auf RAW stellen. Nur für die 24 mm...... Dann sehen wir welcher Sensor Lichtstärker ist..... Und dann würde ich noch auf dieselbe Weise ein paar Photos bei Tageslicht machen wo viel Licht und Schatten ist und es möglichst bunt zu geht. Beide auf DRO Auto ..... Dann sehen wir auch welcher Sensor die bessere Dynamik hat.....
Sony 1 VI is announced for release by around early/mid June so would be great if you could kindly get hold of that straight away to test and compare against the 1 V and the Pro I 👍🏼
Well the videos on the the Xperia Z1 V looked overblowned with no HDR Also it seems your Xperia 1 V has a zoom defect, it looks worse than my 1 IV which has also worse zoom than my 1 V....maybe I like the processing better on
Gibt seit heute ein neues Update für das Xperia 1V. 67.0.A.4.51.... Weißt du, wo man die change logs findet? Die Website gibt leider keine Auskunft :-(
Leider ist noch nichts veröffentlicht. Aber die Änderungen betreffen den Sicherheitspatch, sowie touchscreen fixes. Eine neue Version von PhotoPro gibt es auch. Änderungen noch nicht bekannt.
@@lltechview ja, ein paar Bug fixes für die video pro app wären ganz nice. Wenn man die Iso und verschlusszeit auf auto lässt, wird der Himmel teilweise stark overexposed, lässt sich auch gut am histogram erkennen, als auch im Video selbst hinterher. Auch wenn man mal weiter aufs Land fährt, wo viel Stroh, Gerste etc in der Landschaft sind, wirkt die Darstellung von sich bewegendem Gras im Wind sehr unsauber. (flacker). Betrifft die 24mm Main lense
@@lltechviewfyi 😊. tatsächlich haben sich die Release Versionen von der video pro app und der photography app geändert mit dem system update heute - 67.0.A.4.51. Dachte das könnte dich interessieren 😊.
against Xiaomi 12S Ultra Pro-I made a decent picture in ultra low light in the same place, what happened here? Did updates made the low light pictures worse? 🤔
Surely the 1V is better in in most, specially in difficult lightning. But it lacks the natural looks that the Pro-i has due to processing. I'm not sure which to prefer now.
Bravo, you are a professional. Hello, I am also a photographer. Tell me please? For photos and videos, which is better SONY XPERIA PRO-I or SONY XPERIA 1V? Thank you very much in advance.
@@lltechview It isn't any manual mode nor in your speak nor in the photos. If yes, at what minute is the pixel peeping manual mode shutter speed proof, like you use to do?
I saw the report. thank you. The quality of the 1V front camera is too bad, isn't it? Still can't beat the iPhone and GALAXY. My 1V will arrive next week.
Xperia 1 v has more aggressive hdr. It sometimes gives more details, but makes the picture more striped, removes too much light from the bright areas. What should look bright becomes very contrasting and even black. I don’t think this sensor is better; we don’t see it in comparison. Xperia 1 v tried to do better with light software (hdr, ai). But this camera is set up very unprofessionally, it has too much sharpness, a flatter picture, too much contrast in HDR mode, clearly worse optics, and sometimes color rendition. I think that the author of this comparison overestimated the new camera. Close-ups of Timmy the dog especially show how much better the Pro I camera is.
Hey i just updated my Xperia 1V i receive this update this morning the new builtnumber bumps it too 67.0.A.4.51 may you can check if their has been some improvements with zoome cam 85-125 mm . The size of the update is pretty smale is about 90 MB it is the july security update 1IV also got it .
I love my pro-i, but decided to switch to 1v due to overheating issues while recording. Additionally 1v is more capable daily phone imho, like taking pictures fast and actually getting a usable image.
In general or between those two? The 2x on the Pro i is better than the 3.5x on the 1 V for sure. But in terms of fake bokeh the 1 V got the new algorithm that works better.
@lltechview i don't know why sony doesn't add aperture control like xiaomi 14 utlra if we get 1.6 or 1.4 we can get more bukeh without fake blur at least and sony doesn't improve auto mode
@lltechview you should check xiaomi 14 ultra has adjustable aperture like from 1.6 to 4.0 which is amezing you can control light in manual mode batter ..it is my dream phone now because of its camera features like never before in any phone
Nooooo 😢😢😢 I want the updated version of the 2021 Xperia PRO 😢 with 360 degrees 5g mm antennae array and dedicated micro HDMI out separate from the type-c charge port, 512gb / 1tb built in storage, non-shatter chassis and extra dedicated buttons for both VIDEO App AND PHOTO App. I'll pay for the no compromises Xperia PRO v2. I don't want the pro-i
El único problema de sony es su modo automático, esta a años luz de apple o samsung, pero su modo pro es una bestialidad, y para los amantes de la fotografía y que tienen ya un equipo fotográfico de sony es fenomenal.
Experia pro i is such a disappointment..really wanted a bit moe from the camera since the 'i' stands for imaging...would have paid the asking price of $1800 if it was better
Sony should just quit the smartphone area, it's phones are much worse on camera and video that an old pixel phone. Big Sony boy fan here, had most of it's flagships but enough it's enough
