I love how sony keep night photos look dark compared to other flagship turning night into day
It's called honest.
WHAT you see is what you get
one use camera to snap photo, one use AI to create photo.
you can do this on other flagship if you use pro mode.
@@charlesdikenson744 kind of? photo processing is not really that simple, and in my experience Sony tends to shoot a bit more flat than most cameras, so real life is definitely going to be more colourful and bright than what you get.
There's something wrong with you.
I really love this video & my most respectful part is how you increase details by boosting the shadow area…you are really knowledgeable about camera.
My one of favourite brand.i love Sony
I love how Sony's phone is losing revenue investing creating this phones. Shout out to all the Sony's fan base, please don't just push your bias opinion and false advertisement, support Sony by buying their overpriced phone.
Thank you for a very well balanced and informative review...your style and clarity are refreshing...
battery bypass is such an under advertised and underrated feature
Because iphone and Samsung don't have it that's all...they would of had commercial just for that
What does it mean/do!?
@@lifeevent88 battery lifetime is extended as it's bypassed
@@lifeevent88 i heard it means that when you charge ur phone with bypass charging ur battery wont go up or go down
ROG phone has this since 2020
Great thanks for this review, I'm getting one in this month . 😌
this design is perfect 👌

Those camera work are so natural
I appreciate the fair and honest review, it goes to show why GSMArena can't be beaten when it comes to reviews. I'm about to take delivery of one of these phones, and I credit this video to helping me make the choice :)
How has it been
@@BorisBidjanSaberi11 great
Sony camera is real life, natural , no bs. Other smart phone camera's have abandoned realism in favor of cartoony colors, beauty filters and overall fake looking photos - completely lost touch with reality. For consumers who care for what is actually real - Sony is the way to go. Sony get the image right in the lens - and does not use it's algorithms to alter reality.
AMAZING! I love how Sony's phone is losing revenue investing creating this phones. Shout out to all the Sony's fan base, please don't just push your bias opinion and false advertisement, support Sony by buying their overpriced phone.
@@basicallytroll2705 Well that phone isn't meant to be used by people who aren't into professional photography Lol
Hyped!! 🔥🔥
Great video ..and nice ending 👌
This is video,not dumb gsm video...
ruclips.net/video/7EARIiqFcNc/видео.html
TT hose are the best night shots I've ever seen from a phone. It's like being present.
Thanks for a review that didn't focus solely on the camera of this phone.
It has a 3.5mm jack... Heartbreaking to know this feature is gonna be phased out soon.
Headphone jacks are old school. I rarely use them due to always having to untangle them wires and a Hassel . Bluetooth is so much easier to deal with and you can hook up to any Bluetooth stereo.
@@mrvang8077 what if you need to to capture real time audio and video? I cant have that slight delay or compression when trying to record sensitive sounds.
I don't want to carry around 1 more device that i need to charge everytime for it to work . I hate it . The same reason why I don't want a smartwatch
*Only Genius People Use Sony Smartphones ✌🏼*
True
Rich should be included 😜😜
OK Bye. then it's not for me..
Let Me Get Back To my huawei
Here here! Ever since T-Mobile featured the Xperia Z years ago!
Me with my first 5 phones being Sony: signature look of superiority
Can't wait for mine to come.
Nice review
Pretty solid unbias review.
Can't wait to test it myself. One inch sensor on smartphone that's what's content creators need. Powerful piece of Tech in your pocket 😉
Yeah also like to use this for content creation. The phone has the potential to beat the Sony ZV1 and other compact vlogging setups. Especially with better stabilisation
It's a one ince sensor with a catch. The lense doesn't cover the sensor fully so it's more of a 1/1.3 mkbhd has a great review explaining the sensor. It's all marketing flub.
@Paul why you lie?I have 4 year old Sony Xperia XZ3 which works perfect like first day,and no issue with 4G!So how newest phone like Xperia 5 II can be bad?
@@m.8442 sensor is 1 inch,but it is to big to be in tony body,but still use more light for photos then other
It doesn't actually use 1 inch it uses a 1/1.31 inch area may as well go for the better and larger GN2 on mi11 ultra if you want large pixels
Feels like there are some Sony haters or Tollers on here.
Pro-I is not for the regular everyday smartphone user.
The reviews from professional photographers on RUclips have been a lot more positive compared to GSMARENA or CNET.
but still...$2000?? I mean at the end of the day is still a smartphone, it's not a professional tool
Also seems like there are as many fan boys ay .
It has good points sure , it also clearly has down sides .
I own Sony mirrorless camera , but I still wouldn’t buy this .
@@MrModikoe it is a professional tool for someone who wants one for everything..just like xperia pro but now with more capable camera
@@zadsazhad one for everything? do you have an idea what a professional tool is?
@@MrModikoe The best camera is one you have it with you, so Yes, bringing the best camera in mobile is definitely targeted to the professionals, who always want to be ready to shoot the best at any time. So you won't get it if you're a stupid computational photography fan which has over the sharpened image and oil paint like texture.
I still love this phone, especially the photo quality the 1" camera sensor can produce. It is truly in the same level of detail realism as a proper DSLR or Mirrorless camera. However, I do think it's about time Sony makes a new version of this phone with the latest Snapdragon SoC and a bigger battery. After all, both the 1 iv and 5 iv has a bigger 5,000mAh battery capacity than this phone's 4,500mAh.
I still have the Sony Xperia XA Plus I bought years ago though using it as a separate phone. Sony Xperia series is awesome
i never used max brightness on any of my oled devices...if sony says its does 400 nits, it means it wont burn in your clock in the top ri8 corner on the display after 4 years of use at max brightness and probably did their research to conclude to whats the safe mark for it. sony cares more abt longevity of their devices over better features(like 4k HDR 120hz isnt enough) and if im spending 1800$ on it...i would care abt longevity too
Favorite phone 😍

Anyone else watching on their Xperia? Xperia I iii here
Me too
Future smart phone today within sony😍😍

This phone is a dream 😍
How does it compare with the Galaxy S21 Ultra's 108MP camera settings? The S21U 12MP has a lot of processing so I prefer the much more natural look of the 108MP sensor settings. Compared to this, how does the Xperia Pro-1 fare?
I pre-ordered this one a little over a week ago that comes with full bundle. Let's see how it goes.
@Tessoro Desoto If you check either Amazon or B&H as both are confirmed authorize store, they come up with bundles. Rumor that T-Mobile would be also authorized store too but not sure about bundles.
No discounts unfortunately.
Good choice
How'd it go?
This is a Real review
hello,can you tell me which model out screen you used connect to sony phone in 9:18 ? thanks
Nice and we need and wish videos in Real 60fps HDR resolution clarity quality soon please and Sound in full HD 3D Stereo.
It has all i need . A physical fingerprint sensor. Mem card and 3.5mm jack . The only things that I will miss a lot is Samsung pay And a stylus
I was listening to a podcast and youtube autoplayed me to this and I thought I was listening to an epic movie trailer😂😂
Thanks 😌👍
You can tell GSMArena loves this phone so much

I wish I had a phone like this
My dream phone. 🥰
The stills shots look fantastic for a smartphone imho. The dynamic range, and natural colours and night shots are all really good 😃
I'm also loving the wide range of options that all the apps and manual control gives 👍👍👍
Amazing! I love how Sony's phone is losing revenue investing creating this phones. Shout out to all the Sony's fan base, please don't just push your bias opinion and false advertisement, support Sony by buying their overpriced phone.
The variable aperture of f2 and f4 is a must to highlight, it is effective and works very well
Thanks to it, we now have a choice of the depth of field:
F4 for sharper image (greater DOF) if the lighting allows so we can take better food shots now.
F2 for shallower DOF and soak in more light. Perfect for portraits and pets.
This is noticeable and impactful unlike Samsung's take on variable aperture on the S9. That one is mostly useless and a marketing gimmick.
Welcome to the future
Unfortunately, sony's new phone in my country is not exist anymore :(
Superb 😘😘
wow ! monster phone...
This phone with gcam ported to it, and a 10x optical zoom would be perfect
The delivery driver is on his way last stop is mine so my Xperia PRO-I should be here anytime now. Impressive image quality won't need to be carrying my RX100-VII everytime now.
Have you got it? What country are you in? UK?
@@maverick85 Just arrived now haven't unboxed it yet. I am in the UK.
@@devilmaycry383 enjoy! Mine hasn't even shipped yet from wex.
@@devilmaycry383 where did you order yours from?
@@maverick85 Has your one arrived yet? I got mine from O2. This phone doesn't disappoint I know we don't have computational ai photography but when you have full manual control and know what to do you can get some great shots.
WOW those photo samples are absolutely insane, on a phone! It looks like pro DSLR shots! I thought iPhone was great, but I truly had no clue Sony kicked this much A$$!!! Well, DUH, all the flagships' cameras use Sony cam tech, I should have connected the dots long ago! Thank You!
With Zeiss lens 🔥💪. Nice one Sony
Wow wow super bro 🎥💯👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
I'm waiting for Sony to make a one-camera phone that does everything from wide to macro to zoom.
thanks for mentioning in camera EIS.. but can you stabilize clips in catalyst browse with EIS off???
So... no testing for the 12 bit RAW file output?
How many versions does PRO-I comes in ? Trying to determine which version would be better for me in terms of Network Bands.
Likes from Nairobi...
I find the colors unbeatable. In general, the images look more natural than with all smartphones.You probably have to deal with it a lot more than z. B. with a pixel 6
Terbaikkkk 👍
Magneficent . . .
Is the screen of this phone are flat? I want to know because if it easy for me to install the tempered glass screen protector
Very good product....
Best phone ever
I love dreaming while awake... 😞
I saw this video with my Sony Xperia Pro-I 😂👍
Very nice!!!
Mind=Blown! WOW, I never see any Sony ads, so I never even check what they got lately, compared to all the others that you see everywhere including iPhone, Huawei, and the total garbage from Google the Pixel/Pro, this thing is lightyears cooler, more advanced, more professional, absolutely bonkers!!!! This deserves a whole lot more praise and wow-reaction than you ever give it, considering all else that's on the market today. My mind is absolutely blown. To simply rate it and review it by mass market phone standards like above mentioned is a completely missed opportunity by GSM Arena and others, you cannot just look at the home screen launcher and give it a rating, this thing respects, considers, and brings all the good we've learned and had over DECADES, marries it with the absolutely bleeding, screaming latest tech of today - SD card slot + headphone jack + HD bluetooth that nobody else offers like APTX HD and sony's insane LDAC, then there's the 4K 120Hz screen, shutter button, etc, etc, ETC!!!!! Shame we, or at least I never see Sony ads, and people simply don't know what's really good out there. After HTC and LG got poached and killed off, I thought innovation and "cool" is truly over, but I had no idea Sony was doing this! I am absolutely sold! Ordering one ASAP! Thanks for the video!
does it have always on display? can u wake up screen with double tap? can u unlock phone touching fingerprint scanner without pressing it? thanks
I think this is the ONLY device, Brand, truly, TRULY worth the price premium, considering the insane amount of details, options, quality and R&D that must have went into it, not to mention having not dissed all that was good and essential years ago, that should still be just as much today, like SD slot and the headphone jack. But after reviewing so many devices, I can see how one can become somewhat numb and "desensitized" to the nuances that we should all admire and appreciate from Sony here.
The sony camera sensor size is 1/1.1 of the inch
The s21 ultra camera sensor is 1/1.33 of the inch
There's a huge difference
is the dedicated vlogging accessory (external display) works on other phones such as s21 ultra?
No,only with this phone.
Its a pretty gaming camera 📸📸📸
The xperia pro i is a photographer phone,i'll get that but all reviews are about the cameras,what features does this phone have beside the cameras, talk about speakers,headphone jack dac,battery life.
Im buying this in 2023
Il y aurait le mode d'emploi dans les paramètres..? J'ai pas trouvé, merci pour ton retour
Camera phone of the year 👌🔥
Will this give you a dng as an output file? A 'raw' file that is proprietary would be problematic for trying to get Lightroom to place nice with it.
I believe it does. The previous 1 III also had DNG outputs for raw.
It does give DNG
Anyone knows the song that was played at 3:10 ?
What does that little button next to the shutter button do?
Sony are beast phone 3.5 mm and sd card upto 1tb and stereo speakers im sold
If they had only used the whole 1" 20mp sensor and kept the periscope lens from the 1 iii, this would have been nearly a no-brainer. Even if those changes resulted in a slightly thicker body or camera bump, they would have been worth the trade-off (and also allowed for a larger battery). As is, this device feels just a bit half-baked. Still, definitely a step in the right direction.
I think this thing will rock. I rather take a times zoom with better quality than a 105mm zoom with shitty
They can't use the whole sensor without adding a gigantic camera bump
Full 1inch sensor can be not in such of thiny body!!!
Right, that's my point: it would have been worth the trade-off to make it slightly thicker with a bigger bump and lens. The Aquos R6 uses the full 1" sensor and is only 9.5mm; the Pro-i is 8.9mm. That's not much of a difference to begin with. The full 20mp would have given much more latitude for cropping.
As far as the telephoto image quality goes, it's the same size sensor as on the 1iii at 1/2.9" and effectively the same aperture (f/2.3 on the 1iii and f/2.4 on the Pro-i). Quality being likely equal, having a longer focal length, especially for portraits, is more useful.
Fwiw, I do think it will rock -- love my 5ii and 1iii -- but they could/should have done a bit more with the camera array (especially for the price). Like I said, it's a step in the right direction; the mark ii will probably be something truly special.
Nice
Can someone tell about the maximum camera zoom compared to galaxy S21 or s22. Means if I take a picture of moon what is the best mode to capture as close as it can get a picture of moon. I have seen picture from galaxy S22 with surface of moon. Is it possible atleast close to a zoom of s21 achievable with Xperia pro I?
Next, camera comparison between Xperia Pro-I vs Pixel 6 Pro vs Iphone 13 Pro Max/Vivo X70 Pro
Buddy, I have a RX100 M6 and also an M1.
I would like to know if there is much difference in image quality in the final result between the Xperia and the RX100.
I was going to trade my RX100 m6 for a ZV1 because of low light, but I'm thinking about getting XPERIA if the quality isn't too different.
I don't need a zoom, just the same clarity and sharpness that I had on the RX100 M1.
I would appreciate if we can chat a little more about this.
When will we get Android 12 for Xperia Pro I, please tell me more
Love ur voice 💯❤️
They cramp everything, which is how flagship should be instead of removing features... Unfortunately not available at my place
I love how Sony's phone is losing revenue investing creating this phones. Shout out to all the Sony's fan base, please don't just push your bias opinion and false advertisement, support Sony by buying their overpriced phone.
B ... But ... What *audio* bitrate does it record at? It's definitely not "all you need to know" without the audio aspect :-(
Pro-i is now $1099 at B&H. Should I get it or iPhone 14 Pro Max?
Watching this on my xz2 premium... I guess its time to upgrade 😀😀😀
When Sony xperia introduced cybershot on their keypad phones before, this was a top notch feature against nokia, samsung, and iphone before.
I had the Sony Ericson Cybershot. It was the best phone camera ever made and this was a year before iPhone even existed.
Wow 👍
Seems a bit a modern play on the LG V10. A practical media focused flagship.
Loved the V10. Sucks that hit had so many issues and zero support.
@@seeleydargo yeah the Snapdragon 808 and 810 were just plain bad.
I gotta say tho mine was updated all the way up to Android 7 and it still runs quite well
Hi gsm arena
What’s good news?
Can i use your videos on my youtube videos? Do you have copy rights? Can i use as fairuse?
so does moto edge 108 mp cam beat this out for half the price?
So what's the alternatives?
but maybe for the price you get some of the sony alphas camera?
Sim free model of this phone works in India ???? And os is enough to buy as for todays standards and update frequency
Does anyone know why the Pro i is cheaper than the 1 IV right now? Just curious.
Can you share with me the racing game you played?
Will this phone work on / be certified by Verizon? I'd hope so.
@@Lobelt108 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
which one do you prefer ... pro or 1 ?
