The way the Xperia 1 IV is treated here is like me giving my DSLR or mirrorless camera with modes beyond Auto and handing it to my mom to take pics and having it set to Auto for her to point and shoot. You missed the point of the phone's intended audience and instead made generalizations. Good job 👍 guys. Good thing you called it a blind test.
Absolutely right. It's such a shame that almost all CZcamsrs get the wrong idea about these devices.Yes, the automatic mode in Sony devices is not the best... But the manual mode is the best. So if you say this or that has the best camera... Please say the best automatic camera.
but most people don't want to clicki click minutes for a 'quick' shot
@@joschka2075 Sony goes for both. but of course it's not the best for everyone.
@@sosiehtesaus2652 No no image processing can't keep up
@@joschka2075 I see differently. The Pro i also makes in the P or Automatic mode better photos than e.g. Pixel 6 or S21ULTRA .The images have better colors, more details and there are no processing errors.Auto focus is also better. HDR is much more natural. Samsung and Google have features like Documents mode and Macro mode. Sony doesn't have anything like that.I have had all three devices for at least 6 months each and can therefore also compare them. That Sony has a bad automatic mode is a myth Sony doesn't have an "Instagram ready" mode.....Luckily😅
It’s clear to me that the Sony is really designed for photographers who will shoot in RAW;DNG only. Sony does not really do computational photography. Putting this phone in a novice photographer will yield terrible results.
Even if they are in raw I wouldn’t use them. They were horrible
Just buy second hand dslr, it's way worth than that $1600 sony
@@paryonoono5019 for reals lol I have a cheap canon rebel and it takes better pictures than sony!
Because computational photography always artificial, it is different philosophy ☝️And dispute cameras,SONY has best screen,best optimization,best sound quality via Bluetooth and top hardware reliability.
P.S.Obvious champ in computational photography is pixel 6 pro)
@@kors3500 What you said is correct the only most computational photography is google pixel. Thats the only phone from Pixel.
this proves what MKBHD blind camera test from years ago, where the brighter photos will almost always win
The Sony could get wayy brighter naturally but this guy wants to take a dodgy image. It's pretty obvious
@@DNGR369 that's not how Auto mode works
@@khunrocky606 have you got an Xperia IV?
@@DNGR369 Sure, 90% of reviewers decided to take "dodgy" images with this phone. Just check other comparisons and you'll realize Sony's software is not on their level and that's simply because they don't have the resources/manpower to do it.
@@oscarespinoza7773 what level? The picture look right, not right right but certanly better than the overprocesed garbage that the others spit out.
All it takes is skill and you can produce a finer image with the Sony and sadly for the rest the same cannot be said.
I agree with some others. You really can't compare Sony to the other two. Sony is not designed to be out of the box, point and click - they are designed for photography enthusiasts to utilize its software setting for different situations.
I agree because I own Xperia 1 II, it's not a point and shoot camera, even program mode in photo pro app is way better than Sony's stock camera app. It's not really a point and shoot camera, and considering that it has 85-135 optical zoom lens? Damn! That's so nice.
The Galaxy also offers a complete manual mode, and you can always install a third party manual camera on the iPhone, so...
@@YgorCortes but you never have the real camera experience on both iPhone and Galaxy =))
@@linhlevan8087 in that case I will like to have a real camera not a phone with smaller sensor
It's fine to have a phone camera that is fully manual for a real camera experience, however I don't see any reason to leave the easy user experience off as well. Photography is my hobby and I can easily use the manual features to get the shots I want, however with a bulk of my cell phone pictures being of my kids, both of who are under 3 years old, I simply cannot get by with a camera that will take the required effort the Sony would to provide good shots. So that eliminated it from the get go. I ended up buying and returning a Pixel 6 Pro and an iPhone 13 pro and went with the S22 Ultra. It gave the best overall, and most natural pictures for me
The sony gives you all the control over the settings directly. So I would've liked to see its biggest asset leveraged instead of the automatic mode which wasn't it's focus.
All phones have manual settings and if you’re using a pro app would get much more than any stock cam. Choosing a phone as a point and shoot camera means the best out of the box results or you’ll miss the shot trying to adjust what looks best and this doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll get the best!
Otherwise if you want a pro cam, no phone can match a DSLR in most situations.
One more thing, it’s the fastest processing and the most consistent and reliable while all others take silly long time for processing and do post-processing and result in not a reliable or consistent results. That’s important.
If anyone is looking for something with more control, a point and shoot like the RX100 series would be far far superior with better ergonomics, lens, sensor, everything.
Nah, sony it’s just horrible. I wouldn’t fix a horrible shot. Have tried that before and it will take you much longer or will never come out good.
@@The_MEMEphis Crappy on Android, yes! On iPhone there are plenty of well polished with great pro features and RAW even before raw becomes native. I definitely agree with you by having a native pro cam app is much better, but Sony couldn’t nail anything, neither the Auto nor the manual on this. I love sSony but I’m disappointed. And this is just the cam, I didn’t start talking about their slowest OS updates, poor battery and high prices. I love 2 brands, Apple and Sony and I get disappointed when they screw something especially knowing they have the means snd tech to perfect it.
@@fmax30000 All phones don't have a pro mode and their pro modes are nothing like the Sony's. With the iPhone you have to download a separate app to get "pro mode", and it's still clumsy. For me, I don't want to spend money on a separate DSLR and a phone. With the Sony I can get a really good manual camera and a phone in one.
This is not a good and fair comparison - First, the 1 IV still runs pre-production software, whereas the other two phones have gotten multiple updates. Second, you can't maximize 1 IV's potential by just using its auto mode. The device is not intended to be used in this way. A lot of the scenarios with preference of brighter/darker exposure, you could just dial in some adjustments.
Straight to the Point 👍
it's Sony's fault. They have already done the same thing with older devices, giving pre-production product to youtuber and then waiting for month before you can have final product. This strategy is non sense.
Sony's marketing strategy is also a non sense whereas their xperia lineup is really interesting.
A thing I noticed super consistently is that iPhone will tend to destroy shots with a person as the subject while S22 Ultra absolutely kills landscapes and the environment
And Sony destroy and kill every subject 😂😂
So the s22 is perfect phone for introverts? 😂
@@martinbank_ 🤣
So true
Not always, sometimes it makes everyone look orange as f
the fact that samsung is planning to roll out most of the camera features of s22 ultra to all the devices upto note 20 ultra giving me chill😍
200mp camera on s23U will be insane
The 100-200 mp modes are just dogshit, why would anybody use them?
Lifelong iPhone user here 👋🏻 but guess who’ll buy the Samsung S23 Ultra 😍
@@TheLTcousins S23 Ultra will actually use 4-1 binning instead of 9-1 on their current 108mp sensor, so the final photo will have 50mp.
@@gio-the-MEX It won’t do shit. It’s just stupid marketing. The best cameras that photographers use have 25mp
I realize if Sony Xperia's Camera is unlike other Smartphone. It works just like "Camera" that Photographer use
I see it the same way 👍 Sony's marketing is also clearly aimed at professional and creative users, not a mainstream audience
Hi all the team and thanks a lot for your job. For this kind of test, it could be interesting to include a DSLR image as a reference and try to find which mobile image is the closest.
DSLM please
Lol he doesn't even bother tweaking anything on all the pictures taken here and you're asking him to actually Work himself into trying to make DSLR work?
You joking right?
Fully agree!!
you can't put a DSLR in, it will make their overlord's phones look terrible
Dslr usually takes raw, then adjust in light room, that's how I do it, so you can't really compare it, because Dslr Images are usually tweaked
I know you've been thinking of getting a hold of some stocks, Yes you! I'm here to tell you now is a good time... Of course I'm aware the market is down but isn't that good for business? Getting in low and se1ling high, After all that's what it's all about. I've some picks for anyone interested 🧠
I've heard a lot about you in the trading community Mr. Gregory Olson, I heard your portfolio operating success rate is unbelievable>
Amazing!! I think your stock picks would be much appreciated. I will dm
I've never seen pictures like these from a Sony.
I guess there's a learning curve.
Because it doesn't work the way all the other phones do.
I know it, I switched from a 1 III to a 13 Pro. I take consistently worse pictures (according to me) with the iPhone.
Maybe that's because I tend to like my pictures more natural and less processed. And I still see that here.
I wouldn't be worried switching to a 1 IV.
People want instant social media pictures nowadays.
@@sasorishino It's actually funny to hear that. Who's people? These are the phones in the market with different Philosophies. Each person can see which philosophy resonates with them and then chooses what to buy. Comparing two things according to the standard of one of them is unfair
why did you go to a 13 pro then ?
@@namelesssnitchy I had to get one.
I can understand the appeal of the iPhone, everything works "fine" I guess. But phones like the Sony are so refreshing and nice when you're the targeted audience
Bruh whats the guarantee that these guys aint paied to advertise samsung or apple XD
Would be awesome if these comparison videos where available in HDR. so we could better see the differences. Since so much information is lost due to CZcams compression anyway. Or if the images were posted on a Google drive or something to view uncompressed.
It just shows that we like automated things so much. I saw channels with the Xperia 1 IV and they were phenomenal.
@Max What is the bitrate of the 4k 120fps video files? Also is the saved 120fps file a true 120pfs file or slowed down and saved as 30fps? Will is record 4k longer than 10 minutes in warm weather? Thanks.
I like the test, BUT for me the comparison isn’t 100% accurate. The Sony for me has several features which can be used to make better snaps. Apple and Samsung are without a doubt incredible point and shoot mainstream shooters, the software is incredible. Sony are certainly aiming to the more creative and more niche market.
@@jire9831 Then that's definitely not the phone for her this is not aimed at the average consumer. So your point is not valid and you forget they have pre release software
@@juggernaut83and yet they sent it for review? 🤷 samsung does the same thing as well
@@yoshiharatoshiaki3650 I'm not disputing that, all I'm saying is that Sony don't focus on computational, hence why it won't match Samsung or Apple most of the time but let them do a comparison when you can tweak the setting and photo's will be much better than both maybe not Samsung's zoom but you get my point. Sony not focusing on point and shot as most time photos will be fine
worst part is, they never seemed to mention it. but i didnt finish the video, and they dont care.. they only care for the view count.. no wonder i could never subscribe to this channel
@@astigmatik I didn’t finish it either
With a lot of the photos I'm surprised by the tendency for flat images? A lot of the images picked, if you converted it into a grayscale image and put it against a waveform monitor, all the values are going to fall between 20 and 80 or something or even 30 and 60 in some cases. I think some images look best if they look like how they should be. E.g. the tree shot at night. Let shadows be shadows sometimes.
Well, these folks represent casuals. They prefer pop, overly saturated colours and grossly exaggerated details. Most people don't realize that stuff in real life doesn't look like that. They just see what looks juicier and assume that's the best and closest to real life. They want to remember things better than what they actually were.
@@thenonexistinghero Well said. I noticed the same thing. In most cases they chose the most saturated, brightly lit photos, which is more eye pleasing, but not necessarily the most accurate.
I am wondering if you put the Sony in auto mode or did you drop it in manual. I would also like to know what your settings were. Trying to adjust exposure on the iPhone is very difficult. From the videos I have watched the Sony would win hands down. You are also not mentioning focal lengths and how those compare. I would also like to know what color mode you are shooting the Sony in. I know it has filters and different modes. Are they all just auto or did you select a mode? All of that would help me compare the phones. Otherwise, there are a few to many questions left to make this review very useful.
Can you guys do a video where you do computational photography with a camera and see how they compare? Stacking/Mean averaging and not trying to make the camera look like a phone shot but making it look as best as possible with the glass you have.
I kept picking the sony. Love how real the colours look!
Hey, I got 20 for S22, 14 for iPhone, and the food one for the Sony. Quick comments are that iPhones absolutely rule videos (maybe not slo-mo), as well as being the brightest at night. The Samsung does the best most of the time for selfies, and for detailed night time shots.
iPhones rule for video, macro and for night shots. And they are great for other photos especially in HDR. They do need improvements in selfie cam and the optical zoom and that’s what will happen in few months in the iPhone 14 and it’s 48MP.
@@fmax30000 only video you got right buddy

@@fmax30000 iphones wins for video, yea no one may argue that with u

It would be a great video comparing the sony using manual settings compared to the iPhone and the Samsung.
I was mostly picking iPhone photos, and I picked 4 or 5 Samsung ones, 1 Sony. I'm still on P30 Pro, which still produces amazing photos. It would be cool to see where it's at compared to the 13 Pro and S22 Ultra, today.
Same bro, had it since early 2019. I'm looking to upgrade, I've had a Huawei phone since the P9, kills me to have to change. Still not sure what to get.
Could you re-do this comarisson with production firmware on the Sony? The firmware used 5 weeks ago is now quite old and other sites seem to suggest there have been vast improvements as they moved to GA.
I think it's also important to remember that the Sony is still in pre-production so what we get here isn't the final result. Also, what we think "looks good" can also be subjective. Sony's traditional approach has always been taking pictures and videos as how we see in real life, not what we think looks colorful or contrasty.
I would even argue I prefer some of the Sony's night shots more because it's how we're supposed to see things at night, he even mentioned at 19:19 "he couldn't see anything" which was the point of the Sony looking too dark.
The iphone makes night scenes look bright, but in reality, the scene was probably much more darker and pitch black like how night time should actually look. 19:48 clearly illustrates this how the Sony and Iphone comparison is literally night and day. You cannot see the stars as clearly like how the Samsung and Sony did. 20:15 is a good example when taking it right with the Sony and how the night sky should look.
I totally agree
Lets be honest, i cant disagree with this 😂
definitely sony captures night stars clearly which is critical subject to capture any smartphone they also miss human eye clearity during comparison
To your opinion about the photo in 19:19. I get your point but why would you wanna take a photo if you can’t see anything on it. This is a pretty dumb point. For a not point-and-shoot camera, it lacks too many features, and for a point and shoot camera, the software can’t hold up.
Sony stays with the natural look. These three love processed photos. They think sony is garbage. I just love sony's photos.
I wonder if the s21 Ultra will get at least some of the SW tweaks of the S22 Ultra? I hope so, it would be nice.
Does any phone have the feature of a rotated camera so that one can hold the phone in the more comfortable upright orientation but get full-quality wide video?
Thanks for all the effort. It's a lot of time and energy taking photos with all 3 multiple times, prepping them for the comparison and etc. However, when you mentioned portrait shots, do you mean you use the tele lens? Because I can be taking a portrait shot of a person with the wide lens instead of the telephoto. It would be good if you point out which lens you are using when taking for each set of those photos, whether it's the telephoto, the wide or the ultrawide. I do believe it makes a big different which lens you use when taking the photos. It's easy to twig the results when different lens are used when doing these comparison. Also, some companies put more emphasis on the main (wide) lens and the other 2 are just bad. Although megapixel should make a huge different, but it does to some extend. Thanks again!
It's amazing to see so much respect for Sony in the comments! Watch videos made by professional photographers using the Sony. Amazing pictures and videos! Manual mode of course. The Xperia is for those who prefer taking a picture, a real one, without AI deciding how it should look like. Go ahead, check those videos to find out what the Xperia can do and AI can't.
😊
I like how consumer-centric their opinions are rather than being professional.
Yrah, really shows the shill they are
on 8:59 ,did u openning the HDR switch on sony xperia IV? it seems be has a good wide range when u shootting with sun and shadows
Great video as always 👌🏼👍🏼 is the S22 ultra the exynos or the snap dragon? Thanks 🔥🔥🔥
I guessed all the Sony shots correctly. When it comes to colour rendition and computational photography, their ethos is minimal post processing, maximum user control.
Also this is a pre production unit, whereas the others are well refined and have benefited from multiple software updates.
Well, Sony's colours are the most accurate to real life generally. Thing is... people tend to prefer extra pop and saturation. Personally, I prefer accuracy. I don't want pictures to try and improve on what I'm seeing in real life. I want pictures to capture what I see in real life. Also... it's often easy to tell the Sony ones apart because they don't oversharpen stones and whatnot. So basically whenever those textured rocks don't look extremely sharp, it's Sony's picture.
I on the other hand committente some mistakes but i got a passing grade on guessing the Sony photos
@@thenonexistinghero Yes, but my God these night shots are horrible!
I guessed 2 wrong, and guessed all the other ones correctly, its like a dslr in a phone, these guys don't know how to use its manual mode and make a proper comparison, although these can't really be compared
The Xperia gives off images that are similar to how proper cameras process images, which is to say that everything is as accurate to the scene as possible, whereas the iPhone and Galaxy are doing lots of heavy processing behind to enhance the images digitally and make them artificial.
Sony just gives you the untouched results right out of the camera and give you the option to decide how you want it to look afterwards through editing, while Apple and Samsung are already dictating to you how the results should look like and how it shouldn't.
Should take raw picture format for iPhone to do the comparison
@@g33k_Tech with iphone you cant really truely turn it off. the RAW format on iphone is still editted
Exactly 👍👍
@@Jeboi96 imagine raw on 12mp camera 😂😂😂
It's always a pleasure to watch your comparison guys... 😃👍👍
I wonder if you guys are using the manual/pro mode on the Samsung and Sony?
I think these kind of videos do better with a control group variable to compare them to. Like a standard. So probably a dslr
Question: Did you use Sony's photography apps? Because there is a big difference between the normal application and the dedicated application.. I don't know why I feel that the comparison is unfair.. and that Sony is being wronged.
My question is did you use the pro app for camera on sony
Are you shooting manual and in RAW?
Very clear that Sony is sticking to the conventional photography with much less computation. Easy to tell. I think in a professional’s hands maybe the Sony will be able to tell a much better story. Without computation, all the work lies in the photographer. Still an excellent system from these photos. Though macro isn’t close enough. And for that price actual cameras would be a consideration, so it’s not a great value as a phone.
someone understand's Sony's point. You can make outstanding photos on the Sony, better than the iPhone and Samsung, as long as you have the skills. But if not, Samsung and iPhone is for you
@@g_shotsu price for that is still hard to swallow though.
Actual Cameras don't come with SIM Cards, aren't pocket sized, don't allow gaming and music consumption, etc... It's obvious what this phone is. A phone that doesn't compromise on anything for those who want that.
The average consumer shouldn't even think of flagships, if we're being real. Flagships are for those who need them. Not for those who want to get a nice picture in Auto mode
This video is biased man don't believe what you see here. I think this person tried hard to make sure its a less impressive picture. The Autofocus on the Sony is class leading but all the images are out of focus!? Yeah no...
This is smartphone
1 advise for an even more unbiased camera comparison - please vote the pictures separately, not together, so that we are not unconsciously being influenced by what the other person is selecting as the best. Then in the end after voting, tally the scores...
I've thought this for a while when watching their videos but my guess is that it's a less engaging video so they go for the best of both with some sacrificing of both.
@@alwayslearningtech ya...you are right I think...this doing together would definitely be more engaging than doing separately...
If they wanted a fair comparison they should have shot all of them in raw, unedited using the pro mode for each.
The flower photo where the focus was on the background is my big pointer that this isn't an unbiased review.
They didn't use any of the phones to the devices best ability. What it really looks like to me is that they didn't even care to focus the picture before taking it.
That "What?" reaction though! 19:18 and 22:15 😂😂😂
Can u plz tell me about phone heating issue on iphone 13 pro max, When using camera? Bcoz i notice the camera area get uncomfortable heating issue when using the camera. Plz share ur experience. Thanks.
I have s22 ultra and It get more hot withing 10min camera use. So i never recommended S22ultra for photography or videography more than 10mon, bcoz it will get over heating issue..
As a Samsung user, I think the Sony is mostly made to use it's manual settings and RAW-output. It doesn't look like the Alpha-team focused on the AI/Automatic modes at all.
Also, I'm really impressed by the S22. Great improvments with software updates, giving it a pretty big jump from the older flagships.
Iphone still has a very good video. Maybe the other brands should increase the bitrate?
I still think the S 22 oversharp pict too much, that is the only good thing about the Sony, it does not.
The Sony has an amazing camera in manual mode & if you are someone who takes their time to shoot photos & videos you will get a better result. However, if you are someone who likes to take quick snaps then the other phones will work best. It all comes down to preference. Most people will not be spending time trying to find the correct settings for the best picture, so there's no surprise it's the S22 or iPhone.
You forget th Pixel 6 and now 7
Also bei mir ist das Ergebniss etwas besser ausgefallen da ich nichts davon halte die Nacht zum Tag zu machen. Und ich mag Halt natürliche Farben lieber.
Ich bin mir nicht sicher ob beim Fotografieren versucht worden ist etwas zu fokussieren, nicht einmal mein Sony xz1 hat so verschwommene Ergebnisse geschaft.
Aber nun zu Frage könntet ihr das Video wiederholen wenn das Telefon die finale Software bekommen hat ?
PS in Europa ist der Preisunterschied kleiner, aber immer zu teurer.
Really great job guys!
I prefer the naturalistic approach from Sony because they aim for a 35mm look from an old classic camera because that is traditionally elegant for rich and arty people to put in frames in collections instead of awesomeland automatic photos from iphone and samsung that are aimed to family albums for the kilo.
I am a big fan of your channel but I wish you didn't talk about photography.
Holding an X-rite color checker in front of the camera and taking a shot, is far more accurate and more reliable than deciding which shot is better by looking at it.
A different pose, a simple smile or many many other things can change how we feel about a photo and it can change our perception.
Btw, as mentioned earlier, I am a big fan of yours but this is a totally different territory.
he's testing phone cameras for the regular "John" that will buy a phone and point and shot, not DSLRs for Peter McKinnon audience, i would suggest you re-read your comment and realise how pedantic you sounded.
Exactly, they shot for every phone at a different time. This delay changes a lot in a photograph
@@ryugalaw Yes, not a reliable test at all.
This test is meant for average user who doesn't know much about photography and just want a phone that takes the best picture to their eyes.
thanks for another great video!
Lovely comparison Video & helpful thanks
for my money the iphone's greens in dark lighting look really off. but in portraits the AI is just so good, I cant complain. Also, often times the most realistic image is also the one that does worst in the side by sides.
Yup.
Just like expected, the sony one makes little-to-no changes to photo automatically
Comparing photos on a laptop screen? It is color calibrated?
This is best comparsion video i have ever seen. Thank you :)
I love these camera comparisons it was Samsung then iPhone the Xperia really couldn't keep up.. I think the Hesperia will be good for somebody who does raw photos and Photoshop
The craziest thing is that Sony supplies the sensors for pretty much all major smartphones. It goes to show how critical computational engineering is to photography today. Well done by Samsung and Apple's engineering team.
I would love for Sony to integrate better software with their professional cameras and add some type of Flash storage.
But Samsung doesn't buy Sony sensors, they use their own Isocell Plus sensors. Paired with their software.
@@rajpawar9343 that is why their photos are great in JPG but the raw files are way noisier and slower than Sonys RAW
Yeah. But they have Expert RAW. So most of the features are there and problems solved.
Sony themselves have stated they don't have an interest in computational photography. You are expected to have basic photography skills when buying an Xperia.
Well done? Heck, people need to understand and go see what Sony market their phone first before they wrongly trash something.
Buying a manual sport car with expectations to only drive in auto then complaining about it is what the channel do here.
Sony has clearly mentioned they are target for manual focusing users and here we have users ignoring the facts
And it is the difference in philosophy instead of being bad in computational photography. Sony focus on natural rendition and we GT this channel complaining the shot are not as fake and oversaturated plus overshapened as they want
I'm waiting for Sony to make a one-camera phone that does everything from wide to macro to zoom.
Hello, greetings to all of you from Slovakia, can you tell me if these phones heat up
To get the best for the Xperia.. Use the professional camera mod
People are going to like the most perfect look out of the box. They don't even notice that all of it is artificially tuned. Once you see the tuning operations by looking on the photos in detail, you will always notice them and begin to realise that it looks too cartoonish and not real. I'm glad there is at least Sony on the market, that gives you the option to shoot photos, as you have seen the scenery in real life.
Real life graphics suck.
even most "Pro photographer" edit their raw image in Photoshop, and Samsung flashgip have those options raw and manual mode, you know why Sony have low sales in the smartphone market industry today, because they can't keep up with this "artificial image processing" taking image with smartphone on the go and look nice and then upload on social media, billion people use social media, that the market sony have to keep up the demand for "smartphone", but they failed with one tap auto, and you need 10 step click to have perpect image 🤷, just buy the pro camera and it beats Samsung and iPhone any day, no need expensive Sony phone with small sensor and thinking have the best camera image processing in the phone market industry SMH....
Thought the Xperia is not out until September, and on very early beta software?
The defenders of the Sony always say it's strength is in raw manual shots. So can you test manual raw of Sony versus others than can do raw manual? Or maybe using the same 3rd party camera app?
I think Sony have to make taking photos as easy as other phones. The hardware might be amazing but most people won't be able to use it with the UI/UX
Because its not for the 'most people'
Professional photographers are the main focus of it, especially those have a sony a1
If I'm only mirrorless camera user , rarely take videos. But love to take pictures , love Mode M,S,A in my camera. Is it worth to buy this phone? Or is it better to just buy Samsung or Apple.
With the Samsung and blurred background, you guys do know it's adjustable. So I always wonder why it gets so much hate for looking "unnatural " when you can set it to whatever you feel is natural
Whoa. I need that 6K display wallpaper you’re rocking. That looks dope!!!
I would like to see this comparison, but with the Sony taken in RAW and editing in Lightroom. Then, I want to see how those pictures compare to the iPhone and Galaxy's.
Yes, but then you think you should process every picture like that.....
I had the Samsung eek out over the iPhone and none for Sony. I get the test here is a lot of point and shoot, but I thought Sony’s thing was the manual mode so I’m just a little curious how much that was used outside the exposure on the night shot. I get like almost everyone just taps the camera app and takes the pic but I’d be curious set shots where you’re using the manual mode and really dialing in the pic if it can do better.
Check out Olle Nillson's channel. You'll see the true capabilities of the Sony Xperia 1 IV there, it's incredible, like really incredible.
After watching this video I was truly shocked. They didn't put a single effort on taking good pictures with Sony. Even with the automatic mode, Sony has the industry leading autofocus technology but all the pictures here are kinda blurry.
Check out this video of this Sony in action

Thanks awesome and amazing quality content-I really appreciate the efforts and time spent in creating these great videos!.These blind camera test are so cool!.Very interesting results,I honestly though the Sony might be better!.
Well Im sure Sony hasnt optimized or fixed the issues with the camera yet. As they mentioned before they are Review products.
I already try installing Open Camera and Pixel phone software on my Xperia 5, and yes, in automode they produce different result. Google Pixel software produce better HDR picture than Open Camera, and Sony Camera software which need some tweaks.
It would be great if someone did the same test but instead of using auto, they tried to tinker with each phone's settings to see what's the best shot they can come up with and then compare the results.
I would consider doing a 2nd round once you are able to get actual production version of the Sony phone (or at least its firmware) and also using both photo apps that come bundled in it. Not in order to "defend" Sony, but precisely to get it a "fair" chance, since in this video Xperia 1 IV is a pre-production unit and it's unclear which photo app is in use, so it's possible that final version or different app can provide different results. To save time, you can compare it only against S22, since it won this competition.
As someone into photography, the "flat" Sony pics looked like with editing in software to bring up the contrast etc to the other two phones, the Sony pics had way more potential.
sony is for real professionals that edit the photos themselves, so they don't have very good computational photography
There’s no excuse they should do both
@@SneakyCaleb why not? Mirrorless cameras doesn't do AI photo neither.
@@ES-qy2ju but their larger sensors can produce amazing looking jpegs. And the lenses help. I’m a professional photographer and there’s no excuse from Sony. These small sensors need help.
@@ES-qy2ju You don't expect that from a 1600 bucks phone? Lol
@@SneakyCaleb their jpgs are just like alphas JPG the only diference is the noise ratio and resolution
Guys is it exynos s22u in the video????
Were the shots taken with the phones hand held or with tripods, I bet with tripod shots there'd be some big differences especially with sony...
99.9% of the people who use phone cameras will use them in auto mode without fiddling with the settings. So the team’s approach in reviewing those phones is correct; they are focusing on the typical user. And to address some people’s remarks, it makes no sense to buy a phone to shoot in raw mode, mainly because the sensors are still very small compared to a full frame camera sensor, so you will not get bokeh, subject isolation, or even the high dynamic range you typically get in a modern camera. Btw, I am a pro photographer who uses prime lenses on an A7R IV and also owns a 13 Pro Max and a Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G.
Outside of pro photos, if you have to just grab a phone for a quick shot which do you usually gravitate to?
@@tylerhauk6737 I carry a camera with me most of the time but the S21 Ultra would be my choice
A7R IV is a beginner camera. (Greetings from R5 guy)..
@@mehmet24a Any camera that can help you make a living is a pro camera.
@@XRSM8Y ok makes sense. r5 is pro square.
Sony seems determined not to add software to their point and shoot camera phones that would easily keep up with their competitors. They also choose to keep their auto and pro shooting systems separate from each other which I think is a fundamental mistake.
A combined system that focuses on photos and video optimised for the best possible results, but also gives the user the creativity to adjust settings easily would surely be the best option for Sony camera phones.

Who would buy multi thousand cameras if they do what you say 🙈
@Vijay iphone 🤷🏻♂️
@Vijay sony
its Sony use in Manual or Auto??
Very helpful information ！
I am pretty sure that the low light results for the 1 IV is not really fair. I got better results from my Xperia 1.
I prefer the S22 in most of the cases.
You guys give too much attention to color and non technical aspects of the image. I wouldn't evaluate that way because its too personal and can be fixed so easily later. I would give most of my points to the edge detection on portrait mode and detail on night mode.
I think the best and most fair way to do these tests is if all 3 CZcamsrs are there when they take the photo and evaluate it at that moment. You may have different views since you are able to see how they compare with the true to life colors you see with your eyes.
Love this videos
iPhone being the oldest phone among the group did fantastic… love these blind tests
A roughly 5 month difference in release date between it and the s22 means that software updates are really what determine quality, I don't think recency is that important here
Agree iphone camera is so far ahead
wait till 14 to blow your mind
@@huntno Androids get SW updates to fix cam issues. iPhones usually come ready OTB. Future updates usually address other aspects like battery, optimization and security. I don’t recall we ever waited for a cam fox on the iPhone and I’ve been using them since first gen in 2007 along with different Androids that followed the smartphone revolution the iPhone kicked in.
@@huntno iphone uses 12 mp last eight years, still matches the s22 ultra, with way better speccs and newer phone. Will be fun to see what apple can do with better cameras:)
As of now, s22ultra or 13 pro you will be happy with both,
iPhone and Samsung did a great job in image processing, while Sony's photos had a RAW-like look. It uses camera sensor output instead of AI or good image processing like the iPhone and Samsung. In this comparison, we can clearly see that Sony Xperia photos need some serious manual tweaking and editing.
The iPhone and Samsung are the best point and shoot smartphone cameras right now. On the other hand, Xperia is like handling a DSLR. You need to master handling all the manual controls. I don't know how many people have that amount of patience. Great video, guys. 👍
That's why he should've better shot it better first. He basically spare no effort on any of these shot.
I was making better shoots on mkll than on iPhone, all about tweaking settings, iPhone is good for brainless lazy people, photographers we don't use auto mode we set up everything manual to get best of picture, so for me I know that MKlV will be much better and I can get much better pictures.
Well said. Also, Samsung and iPhone bottom line is ‘best all rounder’ whereas Sony are really playing a different game here. The Xperia has a headphone jack for a start. The screen format takes a little getting used to but honestly the Sony screen is a delight to use compared to the iPhone: immersive and detailed and that’s before we talk about speakers and sound. One of these kids is clearly doing his own thing and frankly I love Sony for that. Sure, you might have to work slightly harder for your random point & click but everything else in the Xperia cannon is quietly impressive. A better comparison might look at everything like ‘how irritating is the Samsung UI before I slam it against a wall?!’ or ‘how the hell do I switch this iPhone off???!’
Are Sony phones consistent in their performance, battery etc.? I am confused between iphone 13 and Xperia Pro I.
Are there any videos out there that show the same comparison phones, but with someone maximising the Sony cameras.
I chose 2 times the Sony, 9 times the Iphone and 22 times the Samsung.
So the Samsung is the clear winner for me!
I really would live to see another comparison between the pixel and the samsung after this sick firmware update!
Also a comparison between the s22 ultra and the s22 would be cool!
Keep in mind guys, Xperia 1 IV is running pre production software and its more about manual camera controls i.e. made for pro photographers/videographers (targeted to a specific niche)
Pro =/= manual camera control. A pro in any type of field, in this case content creation, is always goal-oriented and emphasise opportunity cost. Being able to create usable content with minimal effort and in turn achieve more with the time saved, arguably fits a 'pro' more. And also both the iPhone and Samsung could attain manual camera controls with apps.
@@CheukNamSiu They can, but at the level of Xperia??
@@rishabhgusain If something so mission critical needs to be shot in full manual with the depth of the photo pro of the xperia (tbh not sure what does a photog need beyond ISO and shutter control considering the fixed aperture and deep depth of field of phone cameras), any sane pro/content creator would have at least brought an RX100.
@@Roomer645 I never said any software issue will fix it..Sony is way too bullish on their hardware and their manual modes
@@CheukNamSiu That's also true...more logical choice would be to buy a pro camera instead...but yaa as they say "niche" , maybe they want it for vlogging or some specific shots with a smartphone added & now some great mics in addition to 4K screen & hq speakers
Is that prereleased software on the Sony? Looks like it.
Hasn't Sony been saying that the phone software is Nowhere near final? Is it really fair to compare with this in mind?
The only phone to have 4k 120hz screen
and film 4k 120 in all lenses
@@imk1744 this is a very distinct phone 📱
@@regalblack1503 yes its not aimed to the average consumer
@@andyH_England at least it has if it runs 4k all the time the battery will not allow it 🤣
To me iPhone still gives the best overall package, really excited to buy 14 Pro Max in September!
I think the 14 Pro will be fantastic, but I think waiting for the 15 pro will be the better long term move imho - USBc leaks and telescopic zoom will be fantastic and likely another fairly large sensor size increase over 14 will make it worth it big time
@@Chazzajoe was really hoping to get periscope lens this year, also there's a slight chance that i might skip 14 for that
@@ThatShitGood I have 13 Pro atm, I will definitely skip if it’s still lightening. But definitely going to get 15 pro. Bring it on Apple
@@Chazzajoe there's a rumor saying they gonna upgrade lightning speed to USB 3.0 speed for 14 series i think that would solve lots of people's problem including myself cuz i really need the writing speed even if lightning ends up matching usb-c speed i would be still happy, the real deal breaker in 14 Pro models for me are lack of periscope zoom this year
i recently purchased an iphone 13 pro max coming from i11 because i think this is the right move. Because for me Iphone 14 will be testing unit for possible new technology that apple will put into it and for the future iphones and so Iphone 15 pro or 16 pro will be my next upgrade. Just my opinion hehe.
Guys have you ever used a dslr before, have seen images come out of them, the shadows vs midtones vs highlights how they are well balanced according to the lighting source?! Bringing up shadows like most of the images u choose must be brought up in post not simultaneously from the camera and the dynamic range is measured by how you can pull that shadows and highlights in post. You cant judge any camera phone because it shows what your eyes sees and not to being processed first
I would love to see this test again with a pro using all three phones but only point and shoot on the iPhone and Samsung but allowed to utilise the professional settings on the Sony 🤔
7:39 Xperia, looks really natural and clean. The center obviously had fake dynamic range and too contrasty.
11:49 iPhone has fake sky but the skin tone is kinda okay. Samsung is really warm. Xperia is balanced in color and contrast. The Xperia shot would look great when edited too.
15:11 Center. Does not look over processed and the flaring looks better to my eyes than the one on the right. The iPhone just has that too much contrast it does not even look good in that shot.
8:56 the sony is showing garbage video quality
10:34 looks the sony is really bad
12:13 another garbage on the left
15:11 wtf is this can't see anything on the left
@@archie7288 What's the point of your reply tho? I only commented here the things I beg to disagree with their observations.
I think you guys should mention that sony one is still a pre production unit tho! Things could change.
they were never in the past even close to the trident apple-samsung-pixel in camera department. This is not surprising
Hello Max Tech Team!
This is the best comparison I've seen so far on CZcams. Extra class! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
BUT you should compare the best of the best together & this is Huawei 50 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra vs iphone 13 Pro Max!!!
This is the ULTIMATE battle 😉
WE NEED A REFERENCE SHOT FOR SUCH COMPARISONS.
