@Tech And Gaming 🤫

this phone will be available to buy this month

Read my name

I guess it's our job to recommended it to ppl...Sony creates more ambitious stuff if it's getting support from ppl, we need this innovative company

So what phone ur using now?

I'd like a hybrid. I'm into amateur photography and would love a true manual camera experience. That said, with two kids under 3, I really appreciate being able to get a quick, easy picture of good quality of rambunctious kids, that I'd otherwise miss with a fully manual camera. A hybrid would be best. All you really need is two software packages on one phone, it should've be that hard

Yep, one of the reasons why my phone is a phone and my full frame camera is my camera!

@@LetsDIYIt Sony gives you a hybrid camera though, for both video and photo.

So weird, why Sony's phone getting a lots of love in the comment section but the first thing I've seen in goole after typing "Sony phone" immediately followed by "failed" hmm.. The biggest improvement they made was having the camera app crash on you after 15 minutes so you can be spared the embarrassment of using this phone. If they are lucky enough in the next 5 yrs maybe Sony would finally appear on the top 20 list of best smartphone maker company...I really hope they can atleast sold 100 phone a year now that would be record breaking for them. If this keeps up maybe its time for Sony to hang the gloves and stick on creating a next level over priced televisions.

As someone who is kinda 'forced' to change from Android to iPhone, I find the iPhone camera UI absolutely pathetic

And tv’s and medical equipment

They still are a behemoth of a company! In electronics and media. They just don't put much funding into their smart phone department because the competition is way too high and risky.

Nokia's department is even smaller now than it was before.

And film and cinema

@@helenHTID I know they're still a massive company but they were ubiquitous in every sphere of consumer electronics when I was a kid (late 90s/early 00s). They have obviously cut back on the majority of their consumer electronics to focus on more profitable divisions. They ruled the roost with TVs, audio equipment and media and has a pretty successful Laptop and phone division. Now their TVs and phones are just made to remind a few people they still exist in those sectors.

There's phones without an sd card slot? Wtf?

@@robertpaulson8790 all the flagships lack one and most mid range ones too

I want to see this phone success because f*ck every android phone maker and Crapple. They keep making nonsense ugly piece of sh*t phone by making notch, water drop or whatever kind of bullsh*t is that, while at the same time removing feature such as Micro SD and 3.5mm jack audio. Sony showed that you can still makes bezel less phone without removing features in phone which exists for decade.

Whenever I buy a new phone, first I see if they have a 3.5 mm jack and SD card slot. These two things are non negotiable!

@@AdityaSingh-xu6yb exactly!

Unfortunately not for every xperia, cant shoot manual mode fully, either you chose exposure manually or iso, the other is then forced automatically which gives zero freedom or Control over the shot, great auto mode in daylight, horrible night photos in my xperia 10 3

They lack competition, they had more than a decade to do so, they should gave up at this point like LG on smartphones. Apple & Samsung are too big.

They are not competitive at all and they do not need to be. They know exactly what they are doing. They know who their customers and market are. I have been using Sony phones for almost my whole phone-using life. And I hope they keep doing this. The pricing too is perfect. It keeps the average Joe who is always concerned about money spent on unpopular phones, away from Sony phones. Anyone can buy Samsung and Apple phones given the money. But you need more than money to buy a Sony phone. And all the Genuine Sony fans know this and do not want to change that part about Sony marketing. Its like the difference between Buying a Lamborghini and any other sports car like Ferrari, Aston, McLaren. Any guy with money can buy a Lamborghini. And I am definitely not saying Lambo, iPhone, galaxy are bad products. And neither I am saying that Xperia, Ferrari, Astons are best products. My point is that some products are exclusive to Limited people who truly appreciate differences. Let Sony Xperia stay one of those product.

​@@siddharthchakravarty2099more people buying the phone would literally make the experience better with more cases and likely software updates too. Gatekeeping phones is fucking stupid.

i love the hardware in the phone but 2 yrs of support and that price tag makes it hard to appreciate

I want Sony to tell Me why they still won't sell xperia mobiles in Australia

need to fix fucking software and pricing

Sony is the best tech company in my opinion

You got a V60? So cool! Me and my friends love it!

Man, I was looking forward to the LG V70, I'm pissed at LG for not marketing their phone more cleverly. Their phones where overkill compared to the mainstream crap out today.

Damn, the Exynos version is a scam

So true...

This is probably more of a prototype phone.

From other coverage I've seen, this is only the case with the pre-production sent to reviewers, the real production one will come with a charger and, presumably, more.

I just add the price of the products that are supposed to be in the box like the charger and that would be my phone price

So true. Yet companies are so proud of it

Sony making a phone fun to explore. Not everything auto

I think you are missing the point of a smart phone. the average consumer just wants an easy to use interface and not have to mess about with manual settings. Whilst the Sony looks tempting, I would much prefer the Samsung interface with intelligent automatic settings. A professional camera is a professional camera. A phone is a phone

@@spaceman111 That's the crux of it, most people who use their phone for photography are 'happy snappers', a photographer wants the creative process and experience from start to finish. I use my Huawei P30 Pro for quick snaps and fun photos but for professional images my Canon 5D

@@laddaevolta I loved those phones.... especially my Xperia s

@Instagram User If you are above Fourteen years of age, you can be classed as backwards.

HTC one M8 was the greatest phone I’ve ever had. It literally was unmatched. Front speakers and metal casing, design. I loved it. Now not one phone makes me want it extremely bad. I didn’t even need a case for it. Why buy a beautiful phone if you just cover it up with a $20 case? The phone should be designed to not need one except just changing the color or adding outside features for cards or coins.

@@rhuckabee44 I agree, HTC flagships were my favorite android devices, my last two I had were the M9 and then the 10, I loved those phones, nothing like that all aluminum build, you could feel the quality, nobody did android like HTC, on top of the dual front facing speakers they had the DAC audio which almost nobody else offered, just great devices, it's ashame they're no longer producing, those were the days of actual variety.

@@Daavi85 I had the M8 and M10. But I think the M9 looked like the best. M10 was ok. But the M8 I’ve never seen a phone I was so excited to see and have it. Quality.

@@rhuckabee44 yeah, that M8 was a game changer device, no other brand had an answer to that when it was released and for quite some time after, I still think they were the best made, my cousin had the M8 which made me have to get the M9 that replaced my Xperia Z3 after handling it, I appreciate quality as I can tell you do as well, I even remember the sharp clicky detent of the volume and power buttons that stood out to me on M8 through 10, little things like that just tied that full build quality all together, yes, definitely quality.

Had a Z3 Compact and shut off all the radios except for LTE so that I could use it on Verizon’s network (used Google Voice for phone calls). I was so jazzed at the time, to this day it’s still one of my fav phones. The camera was the weakest bit, but overall it slapped

They haven’t had as much luck within the smartphone departments as other companies have. It’s a risky endeavor and a bad financial decision to invest in such a saturated market, with no guarantee for success.

That's where xbox comes in to beat them in terms of cpu and gpu power :)

@@kelechiosuji5705 and yet, every time the Playstations end up beating the Xboxes in sales. Sometimes by a small margin (there is like a 5 million difference between the PS3 and thr Xbox 360) othertimes, it's not even funny (the ps4 has sold more than more than the Xbone 116 million vs 53 millions) even the PS5 is at the moment selling more than the series X/S even tho they are more available than the PS5, so you really have to wonder if having a better GPU and CPU is as much of an advantage for Microsoft than people says it is?

Samsung is an absolute behemoth of a company, they make so many random things to the point of absurdism, for example, they make tanks.

No Samsung is definitely bigger.

This is why I am interested in this phone. Getting things right "in the moment" is how I learned photography and how I still use my cameras.

That's.. a really cool thing. I like that. A lot. Too bad I got a s21 recently so I can't ever take authentic photos 😬 But this phone looks really good, and I really hope Sony survives in the smartphone market. The way they are going, I will consider them for my next phone for sure.

Can't market a $1700 phone to the pro Photographer mindset

@@rrocckky that's not what it's about though, it's about being able to edit the photos to your liking, if you don't like the competition as is since they are pre-processed and still being able to do everything else a phone is capable of

@@rrocckky Yup, that's the problem. If they were smart, they could give you a setting to switch between Pro, and AI mode, for example

only holds true if you're lucky enough to have the snapdragon version of the s22 ultra ...

5:17

And if they want a comeback, they should start with low and mid range smartphone. Just like the old days

Sony still are making amazing smart phones but idiots like this guy in the video are trying to convince people that Sony is inferior to other smart phones & people sub consciously start believing that. Do your own research & please take words from people as a grain of salt

Sony Ericsson was ahead of its time. The phone market is sketchy. Sony always did great with their product but North America and Europe cared to sell i devices and samsungs over everything else for some reason

@@SuplexCityF5 it’s a phone not made for the average customer. So he’s not wrong, stop being a fanboy and realize most people don’t care about these features. A good enough camera, high quality software, and a normal looking phone. No one needs this kinda camera on a phone.

Their Walkman series were quite successful -- considering competing in market share against Nokia and Blackberry in their absolute prime.

Z3 were amazing phones. The wife and i both had them and loved them!

I remember having Xperia Z1, shitiest phone I used, used to heat up every now n then

the camera on xperia z3 is shitty

@@vanmr6523 If you don't know how to take photos and just used all the auto things it was bad, the same on all Sony phones back then.

find a shop that does discount or flip the earphones and whatever you don't need bundled with it

Yes but XZ1 premium is way better than xz2.

Samsung and Apple phones use heavy AI software. It's not realistic as a Mirrorless or DSLR camera. This Sony phone shines when shooting in manual and in raw.... The way anyone who takes photography seriously

Тhey're not underrated, they just provide to powerfull specs with out normal optimization, like 4k screen, but in KZfaq to some how use that resolution they just oversharp total image which looks bad, and that 4k 120fps is just a gimmict, while the sensor is so small and it overheats so easily

That's definitely false lmao. Pro mode from a small sensor phone will never give you more or the same compared to a phone with good computational photography

@@propersod2390 It could, the computations could go wrong when they don't know what you want.

And it also takes much more work and time to get a photo out of that Sony phone that looks as good as a point-and-shoot photo from an S21 Ultra. For the majority of people, that's not acceptable.

@@propersod2390 I was thinking the same lol

Hey Arun, I never thought you will give attention to my comment ❤

Samsung made fun of apple in ads for getting rid of the headphone jack and then turned around and did the same thing. Now almost every new phone has no headphone jack. They also copied apple and got rid of including a charger so ya apple is ruining not only apple but android as well.

@@demonocusmetalocus3558 the worst thing is samsung is removing chargers now on budget phone like A series That kinda defeats the whole budget thing if you have to buy a charger for the already ''budget'' phone they're selling

@@enisb5488 budget devices that even cost over $400+ The A53 especially is a joke. First it's worse than the A52s value-wise, and now you have to buy a charger and a silly dongle for your wired headphones if that's what you have. No more listening to music while working/doing homework and your phone is plugged in to charge. "Budget" my foot. Way more money spent there than a good value for money midrange from other companies. With a charger in the box + headphone jack But it's *Scamsung* right? People will still buy their value malnourished phones. Even if it's just to flex.

once customers were kings...but now...?!

plz enlighten me but what is this subscription based & is it happening or going to happen. I'm genuinely curious since I've never used apple

I wish they make a comeback. Their hardware was top notch, and software was pretty okay too. But they lost over pricing and marketing.

My wife had one of the last LG phones that came out and it was horrible. The software was glitchy and garbage. They lost the market due to poor phones

@@seantucker9394 which model was it?

My last phone was an LG and I was really happy with it, was surprised that they got out of the market.

Lg actually made way better and innovative phones than Sony. They shouldn't have exited the smartphone market

I would immediately buy it if they put in a user replaceable battery.

still a bit pissed that they followed the trend of not including the charger with the phone

@@kriskale I know last year's wasn't difficult to open and replace, if anything.

This time is not just about Sony but about that trash Gen1 Snapdragon. That thing gets hot like no other.

Z was LONG TIME AGO 😁. My 1III doesn't get as hot as the Z.

my xz premium no problem still using until now, no overheating issue better than my Note 9 screen, battery and performance

better to blame Qualcomm with this. Remember, every android phones using the same tech are always having same issues.

Lmao... That's a common thing... U will always get the same result even though you're using either Samsung or iPhone.... High resolution requires more power, gpu and backlight... Of course your phone will get overheat bruh.... 🤦
