Which phone won? S10+ or Xperia 1? (also, you're welcome to disagree with my interpretation of the photos/videos - beauty is subjective!) 🙂

With Sony, you need to be creative, so you have to rely on manual mode since it has professional cameras's like settings (EV, SS, ISO, AF, HDR, etc)not those fancy settings like beautification, clearity, colourful photos, etc.

brighter doesnt mean better lols you prefer more saturated for ur social media lols

Correct. Sony looks more natural but Galaxy handles better dynamic range and shadows.

Sony's need night mode and auto HDR mode.

Xperia 1 still in my opinion one of the best smartphone in 2019 it's not just about cameras it's about the whole experience

S10+ Exynos version can shoot portrait picture with wide and with zoom lens. You didn't specify this like you said by night mode.

you didn't mention that XPERIA 1 has eye auto focus and upto 10 fps autofocus tracking like alpha cameras.....

2:04 When you say you prefer a 50% blue image, now tell me that doesn't straight up yell *"SPONSORED BY SAMSUNG".*

if u need 4K video stabilization u have to turn on Cinema Pro Mode baby

Sony captures more real life natural colours as oppose to Samsung’s.

I ve just compared these two phones myself, even if Samsung offer brighter pics, Sony retains much more details in almost every situation. Colors on Samsung are oversaturated, brighter doesn't mean better anyway.

realistic pic: xperia 1 instagramable and snapchatble pic: samsung s10+ that's how to sums up this vids.

Sony camera more natural picture

I like sony camera they have that better shot for me They look they say a story for me sorry tech chap

#5:36 Samsung Miss Focus !!! A lot a lot of times !! In 4K videos So i prefer XP1 For Pictures i prefer Natural colors of Sony Samsung exceeds them in HDR only

Typical Samsung fan review... 👎🏻😂

Totally disagree. I used to have a galaxy s10 and now i have sony x 1 which is way better on camera and display. Is not just better is best period. Amazing Natyral and accurate colors and for dinamic range you can switch to manual mode and has amazing HDR or in auto mode and Backlight mode kick in and does amazing job way better than s10.

Thanks for your honest opinion, great comparison.

"Is more true to life" means it is intrinsically superior. One of the reasons it's called "night" is because it's dark outside. You can always make real photos less real with a simple app and make them more childish for the mindless teens who buy into Instagram illusions... Sony have the approach of making professional products for professional (not dumb) users. My 3-year old XZ takes better and more pleasant shots than a 2018 flagman Xiaomi ( I don't know the exact model ) which dips all photos in sugar, spice, and everything nice... It's sad how we take this technology, incomprehensible to most people, and we make ourselves believe that we have to look more beautiful. Isn't "true to life" more beautiful?

Maybe there's something with my eyes but I prefer natural colours of Sony Xperia 1.

Xperia is showing something realistic😍

The Sony Face Camera looks like what Samsung used to do in their older models...too much softening of the face

isnt it unfair to use s10 with hdr and Xperia 1 with no hdr and compare them and say s10 shadows have more detail... please activate brain

Samsung fan review. Xperia is much better than S10+.

In the sunset the Xperia killed it (imo)

Sony x1 is the best

You're one lucky Tech Chap on so many levels.

Cameras on cellphones be like.. I feel a bit yellow one day and then *I'M BLUE DABADEEDABADIEEE*

S10 .. Took this one...I believe the 7pro and xperia would be a little closer.. With the pro taking it.. That Xperia really makes you beautiful 🤦🏻‍♂️

When you said you're blind 😂😂 love your reviews Tom!

Sony 😍

i srsly wanted to press the like button 3 times during the video and always realised that i already liked it XD

At 4k Sony is much more sharper samsung more stable. All of other things you mensioned i agree.

Use Xperia HDR in manual mode

I feel confident that sony will improve their camera. Sony pushes out tons of updates to their phones. Either way I'm impressed with the 4k screen.

So I've been watching alot of the reviews between Xperia 1 compared to other flagship phones, particularly on the camera performance aspects. I found an interesting result which most people seem to overlook. Sony did advertise this "feature" in some of their media press release prior to launch (well at least in Japan). If you look closely to the 4K 30 fps video shot, starting at 5:28 time mark, you'll notice that no matter when you press pause, the Xperia 1's video will always retain detail and no blur. However yes the video is spot on regarding the lack of any stabilisation on 4K and the performance around dynamic range etc. Just some interesing observation. You guys can check out other reviews as well and the same result will be present (in some cases low light 1080p 30fps videos as well). Well done to Sony and Samsung, for giving us consumers choices of flagship phones.

Doesn't your S10+ have the update which gives you the option to use both telephoto and wide angle lens for portrait.

you might be correct about the stabilization on videos but did you see the difference on sharpness s10+ is is way blurry on 4k and even in 1080p.

I don't understand why 4k video on the Xperia 1 isn't stabilized. They were basically the first to have good EIS for 4k videos and even their flagships from 3 years ago had good stabilization.

I like natural videos and photos

The Sony Xperia 1 is meant for people who know what they want, how to get it and can tinker with images if they so wish. The S10 is for people who just want on the point images. It's a difficult thing to choose. I think, to buy one of these devices, one would just have to choose between the size(aspect ratio) of the phones.

Sammy turns everything into yellow. Yellowish is horrible. I cannot agreed with you. Frankly speaking, you are not capable of testing the device.

Sony Xperia 😘😘

I think it's a combination of the S10 HDR and the colour range of the Xperia! That's the best combination for me!

The dynamic range of the sensor is the same on both. The only difference is how the HDR technic is implement. In Samsung you can force the HDR on auto mode, in Sony you can't. For example in this scene 4:02 the HDR is completely unnecessary, the photo taken with the S10 the shadows looks flat, unnatural, saturated and the lamp has a strange black halo around it. You can say that the picture has more "detail" but that doesn't make it better, it changes the entire representation of the lightness making the image artificial.

front camera easy :O the xperia 1 has a lot of over exposure. But then again I have the xperia 1 so I know abit about it but curious about the different location and setting how it will preform, the xperia 1 can take some nice shots, because the contrast I like on the xperia 1 for instance, and the colors are nice. But just lacks so many other things. p.s.... goodluck with the people saying: use Manual HDR mode! hahahaha

Xperia has manual HDR first enable it and then compare

Sony the Best the color of Samsung are not natural and cinema pro is beutiful app for video

Honestly you should have atleast 4 5million Subscribers...The way you explain and the quality of your videos I love every bit of it...come on Guys just hit the subscriber button he deserves it

Let your partner Sarah do one of ur reviews for you. She is GORgeous!! Lucky Tom 😄👍👏

Sony if your gonna compete in today's market with a 1000$ phone small occurring imperfections are simply unacceptable for the average consumer,however pros like us who know our way using manual controls applaud the use for natural true to life colors.

There's no replacement when it comes to photography and videos,SONY XPERIA is the BEST

sony camera can capture real thing what we can see. but samsungs photo is over saturated.

Definitely the Sony..👍

I am not sure about your computer/phone screen but sony x1 photos looked so much better on my macbook pro.

Brighter image = better photo? Speechless

S10 rules

As far as i know, you can use x2 zoom for portraits on the S10. Just go to live focus and click the zoom button (trees)

A professional photographer would easily pick the Sony over the Samsung as colour balance and contrast are hugely important in photography. As for dynamic range... If you are a real photographer you would know that shooting raw will give you all the dynamic range you need. Now if you are not a photographer and just want to get some likes on Instagram or Facebook then by all means the Samsung will do the job. Sony makes the Rx100 series of pocket cameras which even by today's standards are far superior than any smartphone it's only a matter of time before they introduce that same camera system to phones...

I’m not a lover of the S10 plus, but here it does stand out in most shots (NOT all). There are several shots where I prefer the greater contrast that the Sony provides. Regarding video: having only recently tried 4K 30 where 4 minutes of video took up 1.32Gb, who in their right mind would constantly shoot in that mode? Most NORMAL people just don’t have the storage space, or the time to upload such massive files; and most social media reject such large files anyway. OK if you’re a serious KZfaq reviewer I can understand but NOT for the man in the street like me. Yes it’s nice to have for short bits, and for selecting high quality stills from a video, but those uses are pretty limited.

I've had both and Sony has enormus exposure problems. I agree that Sony gives far more options with manual mode, but living on the go and snapping real life scenarios, most of the time we will all rely on auto-mode rather than manual. S10 does a far better job here, purely because of its software.

S10+ absolutely

Welcome to my city! I have to say that the Sony is killing it giving the fact that it doesn't use HDR in auto mode but only on manual. Looks more natural and real, I have the S9 plus. Portraits were better on the Sony as well, more portrait like.

yeah id rather have the more realistic color reproduction on the sony

Cameras are supposed to capture reality as close as possible the hardware/software allows. If reality is not vibrating/saturated, it means photos that are this way are wrong. Still youtubers vote for this. 🤔 Of course personnal preference is not part of technical evaluation.

Agree it is the Dynamic range where Sony looses out sadly. Its good to see though that the gap is now closing down. I would surely like Sony to not only stay in the game but also to steal the show someday (Sooner lolz). This phone does come very close to that but yeah it still misses the marks here and there though not at all as much as it was the case in the past. All things considered I'd like to get the Xperia 1 in order to literally stand out in the crowd :D @ 21:9

Sony has hdr you should turn on I'm sure there are big differences in daylight with hdr on the Sony

I think you are blind :) on all pic and video is the Xperia 1 much sharper even without HDR. look behind scene they all unsharp on S10. look at the pic with your monitor behind it's blurry on s10. Even on the video, sony is much sharper with true colors. There is no way samsung can match up with Sony.

Both are capable and Samsung is currently ahead and Sony is more natural. But have the ability to improve provided Sony n Samsung provide software updates

Night 4k 30 p was sharper in Xperia. Nobody? Ok

Finally a Tech Reviewer that Prefers More Vibrant images than natural ones.

You need to teach people more about realism in colors. When you have no idea about how colors look like in real, you have no idea. The Samsung is sharper, but....the difference in realism in colors is huge. The Sony looks a lot more natural. The Samsung shows us more like Disney (way too much blue) colors. In my opinion this is unacceptable. The Sony is superior in watching videos and movies. The depth (3D) and realism in colors is so much better than what the Samsung can present.

I don't get what you are saying about the Sony being more true to life, you notice that there is this tealish gradient on most of the shots taken by the Sony?

Use dslr as indicator so we can decide fairly

Natural and reality shows me 👉Go get a Xperia 1

record in 60fps has left chat

Tom! I'm in Boston now for a trip too! I want to find u! 😉

I like Xperia 1 for display quality because have higher spec of display u can see the defences

Are pictures taken on Sony taken with wide angel? They all looks barrel? You can correct this in settings.

SONY ♥ ♥

Sony absolut is better. Sony natural color.

Sony Xperia

In my opinion, both phones have great cameras however, the sony needs to improve the software of their camera.

My choice is Sony in terms of design and performance.

I love sony

there's becoming a clear divide amongst smartphone camera quality nowadays. Apple, Samsung, Google, Huawei and then theres the rest who are in the bracket below. Such as Oneplus, Sony, LG etc

In another video the s10+ has less details. I don't know what you did, but I think you are are not able to use the sony cam right...

Sony xperia 1 woow

Sony had been struggling with dark scenes for a while now. I get much better results with the Sony on manual, the auto mode isn't as good as it could be.

Xperia Realistic colour: I prefer the S10. Apple Natural colour: I prefer the iPhone's realistic colour.

Sony is realistic camera Samsung are draw Sony is the best but I m using iOS 😎

Cost is a big factor to choose between these two and *you get the answer.*

Can't the S10 switch between Telephoto and wide lens in portrait mode? I thought through an update it was given

Clearlly s10+ is winner.....coz its using sony lenses.. 😂

the funny thing is, lightroom recognizes s9/s10 shots (both raw and jpeg), it even has lens correction profile, despite samsung is technically giving an already edited default raw&jpeg image. I find it very very interesting.

Sony

Hey man Please do another one of these comparisons again, would be awesome to see how far the new phones have come

Awesome camera comparison as always

I have used both but honestly s10 is the clear winner.
