Sony Xperia 1 VI Review | Upgraded Zoom and Two-Day Battery

Рет қаралды 107,142

Күн бұрын

The Xperia 1 VI (also known as the 1 Mark 6) is the latest flagship smartphone from Sony, and this thing is expensive, costing £1,299 in the UK for the 256GB storage option, but it's also incredible at macro photography, has fantastic battery life, excellent speakers, and is the first Xperia phone with a vapour chamber cooling system and an adaptive refresh rate. Sony is behind the times - other flagships offered these highlights years ago - but now that Sony's catching up and mainstreaming its new Xperia 1 VI, has it done enough or is it too little too late?

I'm going to be holding onto the phone for a bit longer, so let me know if there's anything you want to know about it, and I'm curious to know what you think of the Xperia 1 VI's camera? And if you're thinking about picking up an Xperia 1 VI from Amazon, if you use my link - amzn.to/3WQjsDz - I'll get a few quid to put to my next video, and a few other links to featured tech are listed below.

This is a major letdown. It no more feels Unique. It no more feels Premium. It no more feels "XPERIA". I am really disappointed with it. This the same as when we went from XPERIA XZ Premium to XZ2 Premium. That is not good at all.

It feels like they made some compromises for sure. The screen is a key component in a phone as it's your gateway into the device. 1080p does indeed make the Mark 6 seem less premium. Have they locked down the price? I can see $1,299 for the 512GB, but that 256GB better be no more than $1,199

Let’s put things in context. When the 1V came with a 4k display the whole KZfaq said: well, you don’t need 4k resolution because the content is 1080p. 4k consumes more power and doesn’t allow variable refresh rate. Now you get better battery life and variable refresh rate. KZfaq: that’s awful, we need 4k display. The 1V had three professional Apps: Camera Pro, Cinema Pro, Photo Pro. The whole KZfaq was like: “Sony is creating confusion. They should merge all 3 apps in one”. Sony does exactly that. KZfaq: “what a mistake!”. The 1V had the “classical” Xperia aspect ratio. KZfaq: “They should make it slightly larger”. Sony does exactly that. KZfaq: “Huge disappointment, they dropped the aspect ratio”. What on earth do you need trolls?

I don't know if I really want to go back to typical large phone size although I do occassionally wish that Sony phones did just a little bit more AI photo processing for those "must capture" moments when I rely on the auto mode to get me where I want to be on the shot (although post process editing in Google Photo with a Google One subscription can improve "images" if needed. All the other bits like the textured body, shutter button, easy sim card tray, no notch, fantastic speakers really work for me so I'll likely upgrade at some point when my contract allows me. It's thanks to this channel (well Tom anyway) that I took a punt on the 1iii in the first place! Keep up the good work!

I don’t agree, because for me personally battery life and zoom are pretty important. Also, I like to game, use PS Remote Play (16:9) and the throttling is less aggressive on the 1 VI, so I’d wait for the price to take a bit of a drop and then go for the 1 VI. I do have big hands, though, and you are right. The 1 V is easier to hold.

'NOT coming to the US Market'... Do Sony... NOT want to sell some of the best phones out there? Are they actually right in the head? 🤔 I mean... Things like:- - Announcing a 'Brand new' phone model, but NOT making available to buy for up to 6 months later... - Having some EXCELLENT hardware, but providing DISMAL OS/Security update life... - Said excellent hardware having FAR TOO COMPLICATED multiple camera app systems... - SERIOUSLY HEFTY price tags... And more issues besides... Sony phones COULD rise to become some of the most popular phones 'Out in the field' to rival the likes of Apple and Samsungs' offerings... IF ONLY they corrected the above issues (and a couple of others), and they COULD do it as they have what? 3 phone models (not like Samsung with their extensive A and S range phones)... Let us buy the phones SOON after announcing them, DROP the price to UNDER the 'Equivalent' Samsung, give them AT LEAST 4 years OS and a further 1 year Security update system, then, yeah, I'm pretty sure, they'll sell A LOT MORE of these phones so MORE people can enjoy such things as the great screens and FRONT FIRING PROPER STEREO loud speakers that DO make a difference in viewing content (I remember the days of my Motorola Google Nexus 6! With its 6" Quad HD display and front firing stereo speaker set up... I miss those days.. What do we have now? Mid to tinny left earpiece speaker and full range but firing away from you bottom right speaker... 😒 As Michael Fisher (MrMobile) says - "When phones were fun".. 😏 😎🇬🇧

@Superknullisch 2 ай бұрын

@@tech_editHuh? You say you got big hands, so that would make it easier, or not harder at least, to hold the VI. And one would even perhaps think that the V would feel to narrow for you to hold even. I mean.. I might be missing something here, or misunderstand you, but it's obviously more of a potential problem to hold a wider phone, with small hands (the oppositeof what you are sporting😉). Hence, why some buyers with small hands probably would prefer to go with the V over the VI, although the difference is very slight, I'd say.

*The Xperia for years have been niche phones, ie: for those who want advanced photo and video features, and for brand enthusiasts who always buy the Xperia, just because it is Xperia, regardless of its shortcomings and inefficiencies (something that happens on a much higher scale with iPhone fans)...

I think there are a number of very interesting upgrades overall. And I understand why Sony has made a move more towards the mainstream. That makes perfect sense. I think the camera system sounds very cool. What concerns me though is that how long will Xperia exist as a brand because I see two HUGE problems ....... 1) The total lack of availability and marketing. Sony sells these phones in only a handful of countries. And even then there is barely any marketing. How on earth can people be interested in or want to buy something they either don't know exists or that isn't even sold in their country? 2) The price. It looks like a great phone.....but it is too expensive. Sony desperately needs to bring the prices of Xperia phones down. I cant help but feel that if these Xperia phones were around the 1000 USD range and were sold globally.....Sony would actually sell some phones and have an actual mobile platform.

Given recent events with their handling of the PlayStation brand on PC, I'd say Sony seems to be rather retreating from being competitive and available in a number of countries but only restricting themselves to certain markets/countries. It is a rather strange decision but it seems like they're slowly transitioning their business to focus on specific markets.

As for the screen. I don't understand why Sony went to the other extreme end, 4k resolution is too much? Okay, but why not find a middle ground? What about a *2k+* resolution? For the price, it can not have the lowest resolution out of any flagship. That's a poor excuse, imo. Also i don't appreciate them, yet again, only reserving the Exmor T sensor for the main 24mm camera. They should have put that sensor in all 3 cameras, but at least they should have put the Exmor T into the Telephoto, which desperately needed a higher resolution and more light sensitive sensor looking at the mark V. Overall i still prefer the 1 inch sensor in the Xiaomi 14 ultra that Sony makes (LYT-900), but for some reason Sony refuses to put it into their own phones? Imo there are lots of missed opportunities and lack of improvement in the camera department, although the 170mm is a really impressive achievement, that's about everything they added/improved on a hardware level.

I think I have bought every version of the 1 and rarely kept it longer than a few weeks before getting frustrated with it. Love the new design change however they need to get rid of the side mounted sensor and go under the screen. Side mounted is a not natural to use and sometimes awkward when in phone mount etc. The phone still has a 'iffy' ambient light sensor causing the always on display to be overly bright or dim (depending on its mood), screen also has very poor (if any) oleophobic coating on the screen. I would also like to see them separate the volume buttons into separate up and down as I can't tell you the number of times I press it thinking I'm locking the phone. The mk 6 is another step in the right direction and performance and software (mostly) is great. Not sure how long I will keep it though with the issues still there

Maybe you touched on it and somehow I missed it (I did watch the whole thing I promise lol), but how is display brightness compared to other flagships? I don't mind the 1080p, but I need my phone properly visible outdoors, something the 4k screen never was able to do for me on my Mark 4.

@tech_edit 2 ай бұрын

It's 50% brighter than the 1 V. And goodness, Ethan, if you watched the whole thing you deserve a medal. It's the longest video I've made on this channel I think :) have a great day.

@@tech_edit good to hear it. Does it feel properly usable outdoors? And thanks lol I absolutely did, first review posted in the world too I believe so kudos to that.

@@EthanWord the 1V is admittedly hard to see under direct sunlight in my experience, but it doesn't mean it's invisible, I can still use it find it just not as comfortable as other flagships that I'm using. Being said that, the VI is a lot better in that category.

love that its 1080p now, cant even tell the difference with a qhd display. Ill take compatibility and battery life over a higher res I cant even see anyday

i didn't mind them changing the aspect ratio , didn't mind that much when the secondary cameras were not the upgraded exmor sensor , but man did they downgrade the screen to a 1080p, i was expecting the 1440p downgrade to increase battery life and cost reasons but man .. a 1080p screen ? on a flagship phone ?? what a joke . this is such a dealbreaker for me man im so sad . after being tired of s9 , i got a 15 pro max but god i hate this os with a fucking passion so i waited for this for a good stock android phone but yea ig u don't get everything. and for the partially blind who are gonna say oOh U caNt SeE the difference... stfu , yes i can. i can easily make out a 1080p and 1440p video apart. so stop telling everyone u are not eligible to drive on the road.

@DjAlonDevil 2 ай бұрын

I need at least 1440p for my job, so this phone is definitely out the window for me.

Exactly, if they had left the display alone it would have been perfect. But no, they had to do a Samsung and downgrade the screen to 1080p.

@kosztaz87 2 ай бұрын

I can't see the difference. I am being serious. 720p would be too low, but 1080p is perfectly sharp. And I take the better battery life any day over a spec that only looks good on paper, with zero real world usability.

Ultra Wide Lens 0.7x? is it WIDE enough?

@tech_edit 2 ай бұрын

Really good point and it won't be for everyone. I don't tend to lean on the ultra-wide too much so it's okay for me, and I appreciate it has autofocus, but it's less wide than the competition, that's for sure.

The main provlem for me is that I live in the USA and the International versions do not keep up with at&t and verizon updating their 4g & 5g resulting in connectivity issues and speed. I am still hoping for a USA version when Sony's Xperia 5 VI is actually released in the fall. (Why the lag???)

i think pro video app is getting some sort of revamp for the august release ? i guess the display isnt the main issue just because lack of video pro right out of the box and new aspect ratio is throwing fan off abit. but video pro is still coming and people will get used to new aspect ratio anyway and display isn't day and night different either. in the mean time we still can download apk file of video pro for sony phone, its android so there's that option also they're saving all highest spec for the sony pro i successor

Hmmm, difficult juggling the considerations between what's been gained and what's been lost on the VI. I'm still using the original beautiful purple colour Xperia 1. I was really expecting Exmor T sensors on all 3 cameras this year. As much as I like gaining 48mm on the main camera with the VI, I feel that I'm gonna opt to finally upgrade to a V, as I love the 4k cinemawide display. I'm seeing a red version of the VI floating around on twitter (not in the official Sony VI product video), which would tempt me to get a VI if true.
