SONY 👍🇯🇵

Maybe it's a bit OCD of me, but there's one thing that has made me use an Xperia phone for the past 6 years. The screen. No, not because they have better screens than any other manufacturer, it's because they don't have any daft potholes, notches, pillholes etc in them. Just can't use any phone with one. The screen holes just catch my eye and I can't unsee them.

I changed from S23 ultra to Xperia 1 V last year after my Samsung stopped charging. And it's light years better. Screen better, speakers better, premium feel is better with Sony. And no disrespect to you making this video, but my wife has the ultra and we just got back from Bermuda and my Sony phone took better pictures pretty much in every situation. The camera is not as hard to master as everyone says. I basically keep it on P or program mode most of the time and it's just as good with points and shoot as my wife's Samsung. And unlike Samsungs zoom which is all digital and produced with AI, Sony's phone has a real zoom. The only advantage to the Samsung is the software is a little more polished and smooth. Not surprising though because my Sony TV destroys my wife's Samsung as well. I mean it's not even close. Sony is quality and Samsung is quantity.

One thing that rubs me the wrong way is how people criticized Sony's "overkill" 4K display and wanted a lower resolution, yet now present the FHD+ display as inferior to Samsung's BECAUSE OF the inferior ppi. What do people want? Lower resolution, or higher?

Please don't forget that Sony's phone is also about the only way to get MicroSD and 3.5mm audio jack support these days on any flagship device.

Xperia... Even I still have 1v .. and I love it ... Still strong

Hello Ken, I got mine last Monday, so some six days ago. I’ve been experimenting with it and I’m very satisfied although there is still a lot to discover. I’ve been next to my Motorola which I am quite satisfied with, anyway. But, I’m an Alpha Sony camera user, so this is more than a natural choice for me. However the technical specs convinced me to finally buy a plus €1000 or dollar or pounds phone… This only has so many advantages like the 190 g of weight, the three-point 5 Jack, deck, the nice Grippie feel of the whole thing and the extra ordinary battery life, that you mentioned. At the moment I’m experimenting with its battery life myself…

Please can you compare it to iPhone if someone use Mac is worth to use Xperia 1 VI and also compare to Xiaomi 14 Ultra, Huawei Pura 70 and Oppo X7 in camera department especially to include macro and tele

Sony has made the perfect phone. If only it had that screen coating and longer software support.

You Missed Front CAMERA Review 😊

I just can't live with Samsung's photo processing. I can't. It's awful. Anyone saying any different needs their head examining. You might have to work a little harder on the Sony but at least you'll get really good images that look like the thing you're looking at rather than a painting created by AI based on focus groups in Korea. Sony for me.

Grenade manufacturer(Note 7 boom + guaranteed OLED purple /green liner) v.s. Industrial leader. You decide.

I don't understand, everyone is talking about the screen and photo quality. comparing phones. There are so many other important things, such as the quality of music played, both on speakers and headphones (especially on the 3.5mm output, where Sony leaves all competitors far behind)

I think what people don't consider is reselling value.. when moving to new phone S24U will offer more value in trade in or easier to sell than Xperia phones... I don't think most people think of that just a little forward planning...

I stopped using Sony as both previous phones just slowly died for no reason even though the physical phone was in tip-top shape. Poor software support or even some backdoor malware causing the phones to slowly die.

A 1.5k screen (yes it's the minimum today, and above all, Samsung was criticized for years for its S+ which were "just FHD"), 4 years minimum of Android update (but the smartphone must be released in February at the latest, not 2-3 months before the new Android version and especially the new Snapdragon) because there, it's no longer even 3 years of updating but 2 years in real life, a 1" main sensor, better video stabilization, keeping its niche features (Pro Camera, colorimetry, headphone jack, SD card) by adding mainstream features (better HDR, better photo night mode good auto camera like on iPhones, Galaxy and other smartphones), a "really" good telescopic zoom, and above all a price of $1000- $1100 max, there, Sony will be able to get back into the game. 🙏🏽

Hi! I changed my galaxy s24 ultra to Sony Xperia 1 VI because I'm used to the quality, and unfortunately the galaxy s24 ultra still doesn't offer quality but only quantity over and over again. The Xperia 1 VI offers quality, although the Xperia screen should be a little better than just HDR+, it is compensated by a very long battery life, a pretty good camera with its natural color gamut, a very fast phone, and the Xperia doesn't even have the upgrades that have been done on the s24 ultra and every update made the s24 ultra camera worse and worse and more! This is my description, knowledge and experience at this time and it doesn't have to be suitable for others! Thank you!

Xperia 👍🏼

Sony wins for me

Sony any day. Think you didn't get Sony the prober credit for the picture quality. The camera app is easy to use, and has got many features as well. Auto is very high quality, and better than the artificial looks og Samsung, but the pro mode of Sony takes the win any day...

I wish there was a way we could see the camera comparison without AI.

Samsung has many many features than Xperia

Samsung looks so stupid to me you are almost walking around with a TV, Sony ftw.

what about laggy animations on Xperia ? there is really annoying lag while phone changing refresh rate nobody mentioning. Tested both for 10 days and here is my outcome: Xperia Audio: more bass, less spacious, Battery: very good performance, great standby results, drop during the night only 1% Indoor photos (gray conditions): less noise, more sharp outcome. White balance rather cool, whole shoot is sharp, better macro capabilities. Indoor photos (dark conditions): much less noise, much sharer outcome, better highlights management Video overall: lack of sharpness, Xperia 1 V recorded much clearer video over VideoPro app. Video Zoom: soft, lack of saturation, stabilization could be much better Video night: needs software improvement, too shaky stabilization, lots of noise. Additional features: Memory card slot, 3.5mm audio port, Extra: less premium feeling while holding it in hand, but is much more comfortable due to size and weight S24U Audio: much more specious sound, with slightly less bass. Battery: great battery performance after updates, average standby, drop during the night by 3% Indoor photos (gray conditions): more noise, sharpness present in the center of the shot, little green tint, more warm white balance Indoor photos (dark conditions): much more noise, photo is sharp in the center, worse highlights management Video overall: much sharper, with higher dynamic range. Little bit more saturated, Video Zoom: clearer picture, sharper, very good stabilization, saturation is just on the good level, Video night: lack of lens flares, sharpness is OK, sometimes appearing magenta/green tint. Additional features: S-Pen, DeX, Antireflecting display coating, Extra: premium feeling while holding in the hand, little bit less comfortable however with bigger screen. Verdict: I decided to stay with S24U. This is more complex phone as a whole package (we should remember that phone is not only about camera). System navigation is smooth and phone has much more features which justify price more than in Xperia case. Sony still needs few software updates to fix some issues, for instance there is a weird lag which appears while phone changing panel refresh rate. Video has a lot to improve, there is a lot of sharpening applied to photos in auto mode.

Xperia and Galaxy are not similar at all. To understand this deeply, it is worth knowing that the differences in the way each country thinks are at the root. Sony, which makes Xperia, is a Japanese company. Japan is a country that values ​​naturalness. Therefore, even today, there are few people who want to have cosmetic surgery, and when this becomes clear, they tend not to be viewed favorably. Samsung, which makes Galaxy, is a Korean company. Korea is a country that is greedy to obtain ideal beauty even if it is artificially done. This sometimes leads to the idea that it is okay to be beautiful even if it is a lie. As a result, Korea has become known as one of the world's leading cosmetic surgery powerhouses, and it is a culture in which most beautiful women walking around the city have had cosmetic surgery. This is also connected to the direction of smartphone development, and Xperia cameras tend to value the natural color seen by the eye and do not intervene artificially as much as possible. If I had to say, there is a part that aims to take photos that reflect only the photographer's intentions. Therefore, unless it is intended, AI will almost never add any flavor. On the other hand, Galaxy cameras are exactly like Korea itself, and it is better to take beautiful photos even if they are fake, right? This idea is at the root of it. Therefore, AI also actively intervenes, aiming to take flashy and beautiful photos regardless of who takes them, rather than following the photographer's intentions. As a result, it has succeeded in generating flashy and eye-catching images for social media. However, if you ask whether the photos are tasteful, you will quickly tire of them, so it's safe to say that they are best suited for social media. We can't say which is right, but these two models are clearly suited to different people. “Why the iPhone sells well to Japanese people.” It's a very simple story. There are many different types of people in Japan, and the reason is that many people are very brand-dependent. Another factor is that in Japan, it is mainstream for carriers to sell devices, but Apple imposed strict sales quotas on carriers, which led to iPhones being offered at unusually low prices. Therefore, iPhones are especially popular among light users who are not very knowledgeable about smartphones and people who are not very wealthy (however, due to political intervention in this area, more and more people are unable to buy new iPhones because they are too expensive). Also, a strange atmosphere has been created among high school and college students, where people feel that if they don't have an iPhone, they can't join in. In short, many people treat smartphones like fashion items, and carriers sell them at a large discount, and as the number of iPhone users has increased to a certain level, the situation where students cannot communicate well with their friends without using Airdrop has spread.

So in conclusion: "You all should buy the Samsung, but I prefer the Sony" lol.

Sony alpha crazy smartphone manual monstrers 4 k 🤦🤷 display

I own a Samsung but tbh it's getting awfuly annoying how big Samsung Ultras are, specially for people with, well, regular sized hands

Only Experia owners will say that this review is a bad one. The Sony phones are for manual photos, and they always show you the auto mode and not the results when you use the manual. This is the main power of the sony, bit they never show it😂

s24u is to big so i did returned it. Sony would be better.

WOW 👑 SONY GOD FOREVER 🥇✌️👑 Paid review from ☠️☠️samsung☠️☠️

Both are too expensive. Both are too big.

There is no competition, sony skin interface is garbage. S24 Ultra all the way.
