Xperia 1 III vs Xperia 1 IV - Camera Comparison

- My camera comparison between the Sony Xperia 1 III vs Xperia 1 IV.
I do video comparisons between the front camera, back cams new seemless zoom and also compare photos in various situations including low light and dark situations.
What do you think about the results?
Are you surprised by the performance of the 1 IV?
Which aspects Sony has to address with software updates?
Is there a clear winner? Does it make sense to buy the 1 IV over the 1 III?
Amazing videos...almost the only one who provides this about the experia phones
thanks for doing this comparison!
would have liked the settings in the photo comparison though.
did you set shutter speed, white balance, iso and hdr-setting manually to be the same on both phones every time you took a picture?
i'm asking because the exposure and white balance seem so different in some of the pictures.
for example at 10:25 the photo on the left is just overexposed but you argue that the right photo has a higher dynamic range when it really seems just a bit darker.
I did not use manual mode for all shots. This particular shot was done in the basic mode.
Nice review! Just got my Xperia 1 iii yesterday and I'm loving it! (used a Xperia 10 ii before and its worth the upgrade) Watched this video because of curiosity between Xperia 1 iii and Xperia IV, not really a reason for an upgrade in terms of photography.
It feels like watching your old versus videos but in 1.5x time 😃 I like it has it keeps a lot of info in less time 👌
Yeah. Some people complained about too long videos. So I try to make them faster and more compact.
Thanks for this comparison!
You did as always great job.
I used yo own an Xperia 1iii and now 1 iv, we have the same firmware and i am waiting for the new one just to fix the optical camera.
Mark 5 will be perfect.
release date ?
@@mjcphotography9889 Soon ™
How Soon?
When It's Ready©®™
Mark 5 is perfect like 3 to 4 steps ahead of 4
Still using the Mark3 and my next step will be the Mark5🫡
well im still using the Xperia 1 1st gen
and still satisfy me until now but gonna upgrade it after the 5th or 8th gen (mark)
Hi. Thanks for the great video. What firmware are you on for the Iiv? Your zoom shots look pretty sharp.
It is firmware 64.0.A.5.27 I have turned AI Zoom on though and in some I did use manual focus
Chromatic aberration seems much more prevalent on the iii. Major benefit for the iv for those of us usually in the sun.
I love Xperia, but I think I should wait until the next generation.
(if there is a next one...(message created on my 1 IV))
@@ELSAHACK lol thinking the same
What Xperia do you have now?
@@SonyEnthusiast stuck on XZ2 & Xperia 5.
@@syahrilsufyan4879 nice, I still have my XZ2 and other Sony phones. My daily is my 1 III 👍
Great review.
Which of these would you choose in 2024?
The video appears better with the 1 iii.
Is the zoom lens comparable quality wise to a Pixel 6pro?
Also noting reviews on the Sony 5iv and 5v.
Seems the 5v has an uodate on lossless 2x zoom. Have you tried these ones?
Im just looking at this range because they are going quite cheaply used, But I'm not sure whether the Telephoto lens is good enough in the 1iv. Or is it?
Currently on a Pixel 6 pro.
Finally, is it essential to use something like lightroom to edit your Sony photos to make them look good, because I only want to use a free app if I need to do that.
Cheers.
See my ranking to compare the telephoto performance: llelectronics.neptuneos.com:8080
I would go for the newer model personally. The 1 III is so old that it does not even appear on my ranking.
@@lltechview Ok thanks 👍
Sorry for bothering. But could you achieve better photos with the mark iii if you put some time in changing the settings?
And if you can recomend it in 2023 over th pixel 7a?
In my country i can find the xperia 1 iii at around 200 dolars.
Yeah 1 III is what I can recommend
I was actually looking for a phone to buy and I could not choose between the pixel and Xperia. Thanks allot for the video❤
Bro ur from which country?
Thanks for another thorough review.
While filming with the Xperia 1 IV, since it uses the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip, did you encounter any overheating issues?
Yes. I had to go to the shadow a few times to let the Xperia 1 IV cool off.
@@lltechview So it looks as if Sony has done little or nothing between the release of the Xperia Pro-i, and the Xperia 1 IV to counter the heat problem.
Rather disappointing given the price of their phones.
@@terrym540 For sure. On the other hand the earlier testers did not report about overheating issues. I am still thinking that might be a thing Sony can fix via software
@@lltechview Since there are no heat countermeasures done whatsoever, the only way to deal with it is CPU / GPU downclocking. For US$1600 I would prefer to see old fashioned copper tubes and vapor chambers rather than downclocking.
@@victorrumyantsev3718 The same what others do aswell. Like I said somewhere else my Honor with same CPU runs at least 300 Mhz slower.
Zoom seems worse on the iv, weird. 70mm (on iii) starting point is also better than 85mm for portrait shots. But overall the iv wins camera-wise, especially better selfies and less CA.
Nice review finally Sony improve auto hdr, and this smartphone gets better photos.
Would you be able to do a comparison against the pro-i?
Yeah. Coming soon
@@lltechviewFor the 24mm please do some with manual and lowest iso on each device. I would like to see how 64iso IV compares to 100iso pro I. Also if you could check the stabilization for video on the ultrawide with Pro-I Vs IV that would be fantastic.
@@ronjatter Recorded already the video stuff. As for the photos maybe I can sneak in one where I check these particular settings
I have a question. Did you adjust the settings when taking pictures( manual mode) or it is auto mode?
Its mixed. Some are shot with auto others with manual.
@@lltechviewthanks
for me 1iii wins this. 1iv most of the time gives us darker exposure
i don't mind a softer picture when yo upload your pics in socials it ain't gonna be very obvious anyway and i hate oversharpening.
Are the cases mutually compatible? I have Sony 1 iii, but the official case is no where to be found. I am thinking about getting an 1 iv case for my 1 iii, will that fit?
Sadly not. Dimensions of the camera bump and position is slightly different
Great review thanks
Great review!
It's very disapointing that Sony decided to put pretty much the same main camera in much more expensive Xperia 1 IV. Results are basically identical. Xperia 1 IV's selfie camera still sucks compare to other, much cheaper phones. So Xperia 1 III to IV upgrade is pointless, a waste of money.
It is clear the main focus was not on the main camera but rather the other sensors and the whole experience with seamless zoom. If you never needed that then clearly not an improvement for you.
Others might like it especially for videography and the 120fps in 4k on all lenses.
@@lltechview Absolute majority of people use main camera in 98% of cases. So Sony's main focus is wrong not only because of that. Just look at the range of new zoom camera - it is pathetic. And quality improvement of it is rather negligible too. Pixel 6 Pro zoom camera is much better for example, not even mentioned last year's Galaxy S21 Ultra. In terms of videography, bloody iPhone 13 is still undisputed king. So all things considered (add here overheating issues, price, timing and availability), Xperia 1 IV is a clear failure. There's no way that Xperia 1IV sales come close even to Xperia 1III.
@@victorrumyantsev3718 Here you are talking shitty about Sony again. Get a more meaningful life.
@@victorrumyantsev3718 you said this since the XZ3....
I pre-ordered my SONY XPERIA ™ 1 IV in black in may this year, because of the headphones 🎧 WH-1000XM⁴ as a gift and I compared SONY XPERIA ™ 1 III with my present model before finally buying it. SONY XPERIA ™ 1 IV has a faster and much brighter display with richer colors.
Planning to buy 1 iii. Whats ur views?
Solid device with a bit of a weak battery life if you need 120 Hz all the time.
@@lltechview how about heat issue? I am from india and atmosphere is always hot.
@@mukundshenoy3142 On the 1 III I did not encounter overheating issues in day to day usage. At one point it will overheat when recording video however just like any other phone.
@@lltechview great. Thanks a lot bro. 🙏🏻. Is sony case available in US now for 1 iii?
@@mukundshenoy3142 I hope so. I have no clue whats available in the US
hello, my budget can only get up to a xperia 5 iii
do you think it's worth it to get xperia 5 iii instead of xperia 1 ii?
i mostly take portraits of people and sceneries
Yeah
hye bro...when sony xperia 1 iv software update
Not sure.I hope this year
@@lltechview ok ...thanks bro
Could you check the fastest shutter speed of 1 IV in Pro app manual mode.. could it go up to 1/8000?
Yeah it can
Did your phone's overheate
See my overheating videos.
Mann thanks
does the 1iii is prone to overheating when taking videos?
what phone overheats faster?
1III had no overheating issue for me
Nice Video Bro
Should have used the phone mic. Most of us will be using that. Hardly anyone will be using exactly the same 3rd party mic as you.
Ahhh, you did test them at the end. Far worse than the external mic, so ai see why you did that. good review overall, thanks. I will go for the iv.
If anybody help me to make decisions which one to buy plz if anyone have experienced both devices
Can anyone please share suitable RED-GREEN-BLUE white balance custom ratio for Sony Xperia iv?
Can I do a seemless zoom with the 1 iii using basic mode? Planning to buy the mk iii
Nope. Thats an exclusive feature of the Mark 4 series
Just came a new firmware 64.0A.5.71, i suggest to make again a optical camera test again, because according to Sony, telephoto's pics will be better!
Yep
That's why you'd use the Manual mode to get the pictures accurate.
It will be catching the iron man suits up soon. Maybe then it will be as good as Samsung
Anh nghĩ sao về chiếc 1V sắp tới
Absolutely no clue right now. Lets wait what Sony will show us
@sony better watch this and fix
Which mobile is better sony 1 mark 3 or sony 5 mark 3??
Both almost the same
@@lltechview Which one is better to take?
@@mdjobayer705 I would take the 5III
Xperia 👍
Flop mark IV
Nice video thank bro love from india
❤❤❤❤❤❤
If your video has been made then give me a mobile phone in India, it is not available here even after a lot of efforts, I have seen all your videos on sony phones or others.
😢😭😭😭
5 mark 3 vs 1 mark 3 please
Don't have those here to do a comparison
есть такие накладки на зубы вместо брекетов, например фирма Dr. smile
у меня марк 3. и не вижу особой разницы между мрак 4 чтоб менять свой на новый)
Yeah basically just the Zoom and ultrawide changed. There is a bit of tweaking for HDR aswell
@@lltechview 😏
2002th view
Very disappointing
Any particular reason?
@@lltechview the zoom sensor is actually very tiny, and way smaller then the mark III. Thats a DOWNgrade. Can you believe that?? They took the awful III selfie sensor and put it in the back of rhe mark IV
For a phone that boasts about it zoom capabilities, it's pretty lackluster, anything above 85mm is unusable.
@@BrbZrk_2 the same size sensor with galaxy s22 ultra!
What are you talking about?
@@nicksamo but SMALLER than xperia 1 III's zoom camera sensor! Which is its reference point. PREdecessor!!
sony is 10 years behind in the smart phones space lol,1600 euros for a shitty camera setup and overheating lol suckers
Wow where does it cost 1600€?
@@lltechview try importing it in usa or Europe and find out
@@nickadm8321 It is sold in Europe already
@@lltechview how much?
@@nickadm8321 1399€ still expensive
сравнение какой хуже их плохих
