Your totally wrong giving the edge to the P20 Pro in the low light comparison of the dark alley . XZ2P has kept much more details in the scene though its a little darker. The P20 Pro is bright but all the details have been smoothed out, looks like paste
阿波根梨穂 but.. Sony Iso is not gimmick.. New innovation in technology they use They department camera to make xperia camera.. That why pic look natural like real life compare to another successor device ..
carver 9 People like you are jealous because Galaxy and Iphone or your favorite brand cant do it and cant abide the fact that what Sony has achieved with their new technology as they took phone camera to a whole new level! They will have to copy AUBE next year, till then Sony will be using something stronger...
Frando 99 ... dont get it. I bought a thousand dollar phone last yr (Note 8) because I thought of it as the best (along with every other reviewer). I have no reason to be jealous. If I thought sony was the best, I wouldve bought their phones but it is trash that isnt going to stack up well with the best. You bringing up camera quality without even knowing if it is better than the best out there. Lol... Samsung was the one that started this "take better pictures at low light" thing which is the reason other companies are trying to achieve the same results. They are following Samsung. Be thankful because if it wasnt for Samsung, you all would still be getting those terrible night time pictures. You Sony fans argued last yr for the premium and it was the lowest selling phone in the industry, and I wonder why. Sony fans can keep arguing for these phones but trust me, you all are the only ones that are doing it. It will continue getting left in the dust by Samsung, Google, and apple.
hey you!in some picture..p20 pro look brighter,but lose detail and blur...picture on xz2 premium is NATURAL and ORIGINAL...more detail even not bright than p20 pro,but SONY still the WINNER here!
Dxomark is rubbish dude. The moment it shows xiaomi phone rating and actually testing from many reviewers is totally different. Dont bank on DXOmark bro
Yeah. In this video. Sony lose to p20 pro is only. Alley and dark room photo But sony win on the photo of dog toy and picture after that. Also sony win for low light video recording. Sony win by 3 point against p20 pro 2 point. Sorry for bad english
Yay! Since Sony win, Samsung, Apple, Huawei, etc should be producing XZ2P for 2018. Afterall Sony win. No point people buying all other handset! As Sony Win! So all other manufacturer can just OEM for Sony this year. Who want to buy losers eh?
The specs on the XZ2 Premium are unmatched by any other phone regardless of whether we can tell the difference between QHD and 4K screen. Sony is really bringing it with their flagships except for some questionable design decisions. Also I think a more realistic lowlight test is just to turn on the flash for indoor scenes.
I have experience with older Sony Z5 premium, what I can say 4k screen on mobile is meaningless. I used to love Sony mobile phone as I went through the first Ultra Z, Z1 (sold), Z2 (sold) and then Z5 Premium. In all instances, the photos were disappointing. I am a big Sony Alpha camera and mobile fan but recently bought and used P20 Pro for traveling purposes. My experience with P20 Pro is not disappointing but not 100% satisfactory for several reasons: Pro: 1) EMUI is surprisingly very good (I have to bring this up as it increases the overall experience when launching camera app) 2) Monochrome sensor (Pro Mode) is so sharp even in low light (this is the best part of the camera) 3) Pro colour mode is great but not perfect (even work well without Night mode) 4) Night mode works great ONLY for landscape not portraiture or street photography 5) The bokeh mode is the best out there Con: 1) No video stabiliser but I always use gimbal anyway 2) No 3rd party camera app can fully utilize the 3 camera system so stuck with Huawei built in default app. I tried many apps, they either work with one or two of the camera by manually switching the camera selection. The image produced is worst than the default app 3) Only certain modes allow the use of 40 and 20 megapixel sensor, so the majority of the photos will be taken with the 10 megapixel sensor which is probably why P20 Pro loose out in the details in the test shown here. I hope the test was done using the correct mode when comparing with the Sony XZ2 Premium 4) I suspect the night mode is just a longer exposure mode (limited to JPEG 10 megapixel), I personally would go to Pro mode with the same 5 seconds exposure but produced raw 40 megapixel output, better result 5) Raw mode only available in Pro mode All in all, P20 Pro is the game changer. Many features are working great but I will keep Z5 Premium for video still despite the lens cover is scratched. If anyone considering which phone to choose, P20 Pro will soon be overthrown by the newer Vivo Nex S or the Oppo Find X. These phones though can't replace FF sensor :-) Peace
Tap the dark area of the photo and it will change the exposure to higher levels. If it ain't enough, it can still be raised higher to achieve the same level of brightness. The thing is that the XZ2 Premium chose to expose the whole scene in a balanced way, while the P20 Pro chose to expose it higher for the sake of making the image look brighter, which in turn makes people think it's better even when it's not.
The real challenge here is whichever can zoom in closer to the image and still retain a lot of detail. I challenge P20 Pro fans to do this without pixel bining (XZ2 Premium doesn't even use anything to take a picture except its camera hardware and typical software).
Sadly the samples that came out from many sites don't look promising. They are very noisy even at low ISOs. I hope Sony already fixed the software. I believe their camera can perform the best with the right software.
And the camera being so low and centered is beneficial, since it means your fingers are unlikely to cover the lens accidentally. The only downside I see to the low camera/fingerprint sensor is that it doesn't leave much room for the battery to be as big as it could be, since it has to stay smushed below those components.
Still a lot of Sony phones here in Sweden. I suppose because the connection with Sony/Ericsson in the past. Sony phones still got sold on all phone carriers. Anyway nice to see Sony stepping up in cameras.
Sony is one of the favorite brand in Mexico, over Samsung. P20 doesn't use Pixel Binning, they just use HDR for night mode, that is way the image looks bright but plain and desaturated. The P20 is brighter but is just too soft, less noise but less detail, but the worst is that the color is destroyed!!! The color science in the XZ2P es outstanding.
My first Sony phone was Z2 and I was using it til 2018. Everything worked well in this phone and I liked design of it... When XZ2 Premium got into my hands, I fell in love with it instantly! Best phone I ever used! Still runs without any lag and camera is fantastic!
Sony smartphones is still exist in Indonesia, I know several diehard fans of sony smartphones. But its true that it is losing to Chinese phone. In the past, there are several Japanese smartphones in Indonesian market, panasonic, kyocera, fujitsu, etc. But now only sony and sharp. Sony has a good smartphones, but its too expensive for Indonesian and the mid range device is underpowered. Sharp smartphones are underpowered and ugly as hell. I think the problem with Japanese product is they dont have the innovation they have back in the days. There are several innovation like 4K display or triluminos display, but all of that is too hard to be fathomed by general consumers. Visible "innovation" like 18:9 aspect ratio, small bezels, ugly notch are more likely to catch general consumers attention.
quack quack wow, it seems someone woke up in the wrong side of the bed. Try some chill pill dude. I was commenting on 00:00 to 02:15 , just watch it. But I cant disagree with you, our market is full of chinese product. In fact I'm using OnePlus 3T right now. But despite of that, several smartphone makers in fact had invested in Indonesian market by building a factory. Like samsung, sony, asus, and several chinese company. And their flagship device are available in our market. I'm so glad that you are not the ceo of those company though. And by judging by your comments, you won't ever be one anyway.
quack quack actually thats a simple question with simple answer. People with working brain can answer it by themself. I honestly dont know why you can't think of the answer. It is because we are the 4th largest country by population, jobs can't keep up with our population. And also because there is a demand of workers.
Japan culture theres no better... Even cars and phones. I love my Sony Xperia XZ2 compact. It's a shame. Just like Sony TV and PS4 pro I love. Peace. 🤗
I have a Sony XD70 TV with the PS4 pro as well, and Sony XA2. Looking for Sony a7III next with Sony Vegas, lol. Shame no Sony VAIO anymore. I still think Sony phones are way underrated, when pics viewed on 55" 4K TV you would know what Sony means.
SONY = solid build quality + stable software experience with timely updates. You don't buy for specs and fancy looks. I dropped my XZ Premium so many times, I guess any other mobile would be dead by now.
I see great potential for the XZ2PREMIUM. I imagine you could actually take decent night sky/ star/ galaxy photos with this phone. That's quite exciting tbh
Hahaha you can do it with long exposure phone like nubia, asus zenfone, oneplus, xiaomi mi with 800-1600 iso. You don't need high iso to take a photo of stars. What you need is long exposure
Sony still quite big in europe and you wrong about Sony being behind. Yes Sony dont have that much gimiky functions as the others and if that is falling behind well then its true I guess.
Jerry Berglund what!!! Gimmicky!!! SONY IS THE MASTER... WATER PROOF 4K SLOW MO 960FP VIDEO ANIMATION LO LIGHT GREAT PHOTOS BATTERY LIFE... SONY IS KING. HOWEVER IT IS BEHIND BASED ON LOOKS AND MARKETING
TERA DACTAL yes one of those is a gimik. Slow-mo.your right about that. And if I did a list with gimiks, Sony would still have less than Samsung. And no, design isnt something you could be behind with. And when it comes to hardware is not after the others either.
BTW Sony Won because he has 2 cameras and the P20 Pro has 3 meaning that in the low light, it should do better the Sony but it doesn't and your wrong Sony became the new low light King. Lets say makes next year 3 cameras, what would that look like with the second gen of the AUBE processor??? The design is good but not as the loop surface design but I believe this design could become something in the next few years with them tweaking and making the curve of the glass gentler. The phone is good and quite good. I heard in China it will be in the range of $800 and in Japan less. The US will be $1000 but actually the other phones hit more than that number last year and this year they will be more, so please stop blaming Sony.
Exactly. P20 Pro's pics are pasty as shit, but just because they are brighter on a few occasions, the reviewer thinks they are better. he should have blown the pictures to 1:1 and compared the quality. often phones choose different exposures, and it really varies from scene to scene, but it doesn't mean that the phone which chose a darker exposure is the worse.
JZ VR just like i said, it's only a matter of choosing different exposures from shot to shot, we won't know until he shows 1:1 crops, because at this magnification it looks like Huawei's photos are brighter but noisy and pasty at the same time
JZ VR and brighter doesn't mean better, if the Xperia's photos retain better detail in the shadows, you can brighten them up, and you can do that right in your phone editor, you don't even have to import them into photoshop
HUWAWEI isn't capable of photo adjustment. Because it's to light.it's overexposed. if you underexpose you can adjust brightness. So an over exposed image with to much light is you can't so you can think it's better but it's much worse. I see it a lot of times of reviews. That's is wrong. There for Sony is way better.
No it's not just about the exposure. They use artificial intelligence to boost brightness by adjusting the shadows, highlights, contrast, and brightness. It's the same as what you get on a photo editing software. You can take a dark image and brighten it cleanly using a software that can adjust brightness, contrast, highlight, and shadows. It's not similar to what a real high ISO camera delivers. The proof of this is the brightness difference in the video. XZ2 P is brighter with videos because the P20 Pro could no longer perform the special brightening process on video. If it tries doing that, it may burst into flames.
I feel like all of the P20 Pro photos are over exposed. I prefer the more "natural" look of the Sony. I quote natural, because at this level, natural is really just pitch black.
The sony looks like not a bad phone , however some questionable design , the finger print reader in the middle of the phone , you would think sony would have taken notice of samsungs last years finger print sensor location that sucked . the bubble shaped back that spins like a top when on the table or when trying to type on a desk . i actually prefer some bezels and the 16.9 aspect ratio , why did sony abandon last years xz premium design and just refine it a bit ?? No headphone jack ....... wtf sony ???
Kudos for being one of the only reviewers I've found who will tell people that 4K resolution on a 5"-6" screen is overkill. I understand that manufacturers want every possible edge they can have on their products but it's impractical given the viewing space. Thanks for the comparison of the two cameras.
If you are talking about the brightness only, Huawei did do a very good job; however, if you are talking about the image quality, I would say Sony won this battle. Those details kept in photos taken by Sony is far more than the Huawei did. But, to be frank, the XZ2P is way too bulky. Even though, I would buy one to enjoy.
P20 Pro might've won in some cases, but XZ2 Premium is the most consistent. Even on the first low light shot, the XZ2 Premium didn't look horribly bad, the P20 Pro just did slightly better. The second one, P20 Pro was brighter but not much detail at all. Someone even argues about being able to see something, well, the same brightness can be achieved on the XZ2 Premium if its exposure is focused towards the dark parts of the scene. Only that it has no specific exposure focus so it has to expose the whole scene in a balanced way, which it did very well. The video, just not gonna speak anything anymore. But I'd even say that I prefer the iPhone X over the P20 Pro in video for at least having good stabilization. P20 Pro only if I want pure photography and nothing else. Otherwise, XZ2 Premium it is as an all-around camera phone. This is, we're still waiting for Mate 20 Pro, Xperia XZ3, Pixel 3 XL, Galaxy Note 9, LG V40, and iPhone XI
pranav vinod Depends on where you live. For me in Sweden, I have to wait until "end of the summer"-said by Sony. I also want it as early as possible but can't really do much atm
alexdiezg i am living in India and sony hasn't said anything about the launch in India. I would like to get it at the earliest and would like to know from where these tech tubers are getting this so early
pranav vinod I don't know about Indian tech RUclipsrs, but tech RUclipsrs overall usually get a unit in beforehand so that they can review/test/compare etc. We who want to buy it have to wait for the retail version. I don't really know man, let's just hope for the best!
Han Go I saw Ur comment b4 watching the video and it was funny. I watched the video and saw the Iphone X then "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA". Mehn I almost passed out.
If you by chance come to Hồ Chí Minh city of Vietnam, I would love to meet you to tell you we Sony fans here still love Sony. Their products are worth the money, you cannot say they are falling behind that simple.
XZ2 PREMIUM is better than IPHONE X and P20PRO than cons of XZ2 PREMIUM is still 1sec shutterspeed 😞😞😞 what are you doing SONY! Why do not Sony want to have their camera full potential!
6 sec nightmode on huawei is a great option, but not many have the patience for that, especially if the subject is not completely still. Sony did a very good job with these cameras, but as usual it won't see the sales numbers except for it's fanbase..... simply cuz it refuses to adopt the design language everyone expects.
Could you share the full-sized samples please? The alleyway shot kinda looks better on the Sony to me. The Huawei literally looks like a video game it's so overly smoothed (in this particular photo anyway).
It is good to see Sony back in the game when it comes to still images. I have had a Sony Xperia Z5, and oh boy, low-light shots where dissapointing. Sony is in the right direction now. Well done!
I don't like your review, your bashing Sony too much, and unnecessary and not knowing major why's of why those things are there and calling them overkill. Ooh not excelling at anything! Nonsense, bezels? Are you eating bezelless?. And you can't say it's getting close, it's better than Huawei p20 pro
Yeah. He make a big mistake here. You can see. The video is brighter than the picture of the alley right? Meaning in video mode, 12800 is use. If only he using manual mode. And increase the iso, that photo of alley is going to be good for Sony. Sorry for bad english 😅
Actually your wrong because Sony has a lot and 4K isn't an overkill because it doesn't drain any battery besides it up-scales on certain apps. Sony has a lot in the competition but the thing is they don't market or publicise their phones and that's why it's losing. Sony is and innovator and till now it innovates while still losing and other phones do stupid unpractical things like notches and 18:9 displays when there is not content for 18:9. Sony created half what of the smartphone world has but no one appreciates and most of the people they don't know about because they're busy being shallow, superficial and going to other brands that doesn't have a thing. What did the other companies do??? Nothing, except the Chinese when they did the VIVO NEX and OPPO X but tell me what did Apple do since most of you see it the best??? I don't blame Sony for the price and we don't have to blame Sony for what they're doing but the only issue they have is marketing. In order to make money, you need to spend money.
You are right, my brother, unfortunately most consumers think superficially, they only see appearances. They have forgotten that Sony invented and introduced several technologies. Only companies have developed Sony technologies. Unfortunately, they are not thinking deeply and wisely.
P20 pro has AI features which enables you to get better shot in auto mode. On the other hand Sony camera doesn't have a good auto mode but when you rely on manual mode it can seriously beat P20 pro with ease
On the alley photo, P20 used long exposure... Obviously it will be better, than the XZ2 Premium which had less than 1 sec exposure... Sony wins with natural colors and without idiot post processing....
As far as I’m aware Japan still is the king of technology since if you want to be a leading competitor in the home entertainment systems for example then you need to be based in Tokyo with the brains, resources and culture.
hey i kinda liked the old look cause it was practical and simple and wasnt beautiful nor ugly plus some people still love the 16:9 ratio because it is more supported than an 18:9 with a freaking notch
It's amazing how in most configurations the Xperia XZ2 Premium wins out of all Smartphones with wide differences ... Sony is clearly the best Smartphone of all time!
Pixel binning, as a cheat, doesn't help with motion. And as a general rule, when I'm doing low light shots, there are things moving. Also, pixel binning (usually) doesn't help when shooting video. There's no processing substitute for greater light sensitivity. And XZ2P, with its monochrome low-light camera, beats all other smartphones on the market in that regard.
Sony definitely has more potential. Wider apertures and a gigantic extra B/W sensor with 1.55um pixel size is surely a strong foundation on which Sony needs to improve their software immediately. AUBE is clearly more video processing focused than still processing.
It's about damn time Sony actually did something that was actually good. Now just fix up that design and bring the headphone jack back and price it more aggressively and I'd buy it. I have an XA2 Ultra. I like it.
great video, does this one do 4k 60fps? the xz2 doesn't and still 1080p 960fps? also Sony should be beating all competition when it comes to the camera and its not
marklola12 sony did not add 4k60 because EIS does not work. S9+, OP6 and u12+ dont have EIS for 4k60 too.. To increse the 960fps duration and quality the sensor needs more DRAM inside, it has same imx400 of XZ Premium
Moisés Silva yeh but why not add 4k 60fps with out EIS like the others lol some people use Gimbals for stabilising video, its stupid not to add it, its the 1 thing why I won't buy the phone lol
No 4K 60fps is supported on XZ2 Premium. It supports 4K 30fps with EIS but the AUBE Engine becomes disabled in this resolution, you can shoot extreme low light mode in only FHD 30fps and 60fps.
At least you should be able to record 4K HDR (which is first ever on a smartphone, Sony being first with great tech yet again) and immediately watch your recorded raw footage on you 4K HDR screen!
alexdiezg the HDR footage does not look that good though, read reviews about it lol also 9 out of 10 people do not watch recorded footage from their phones on their TVs most people just do not do it
No p20 pro is not still the king of low light.. As well as p20 pro do use 5 Sec Sutter ....if u do that same on xz2 premium with much more ISO than p20 pro ...u can see xz2 premium always better than p20 pro in any condition...
The ISO of the P20 Pro is twice of Sony's at 124000, dumb ass. Sony can't do handheld long exposure, no other phone can they all require tripods apart from the P20 Pro.
And in any case, if the subject is moving, the shot could've been missed. What if I want to take a burst shot in low light?? Right, I will have to wait an interval of 4s before taking another shot. Good job Huawei!
Was the night mode on the p20 pro used? The photos looked pretty bright so it might of been used, but I feel like some of the photos should have been brighter than they were. And please don't come and say it needs to be a fair test because if there is a feature like night mode it should be used. Software is starting to be more and more relevant in phone cameras and if some software is left out of a test then I would argue that the test is unfair. Sure you could argue that you don't want to wait 4 seconds for the shot and the extra processing time. I would say that if you want to take a nice low light shot it'll take some time to line up your shot and you wouldn't mind waiting ~10 seconds extra for a nicer shot.
Sony is similar to HTC. They did so many things 1st and had classic unique designs. But the big players copied all of that and then made themselves far bigger names off of it. Ask any Apple fan if they knew that Jobs hired Sony's lead designed to create all of the iPhone prototypes? Bet they don't know that. I'll bet they do t know about how when Apple was crying about Samsung memos saying "be more Apple", Apple was right there a few years earlier passing out memos saying "be more Sony". Also Sony was making waterproof phones and all glass phones way back in the late 2000s when nobody else was and now they all do that. It's all really sad, but it is what it is. They're not dead yet though!
I love you man, cheers another brother from Hong Kong, I m thinking to get for review , Sony phones give me more views so I think Sony still have good fanbase
Sorry bro but i think you are too honest, that makes you sound like a racist xD Sony is number 1 sorry again but that's just my opinion. And for the bezels is better to have them that big, because most of phones are now without bezels and that is so annoying because sometimes i touch the screen from the bottom and the top by mistake, bezels gonna help with that problem since you are also saying XZ2P is heavy.
When you travel to vietnam try to video the stars at night around 10pm. Im wondering if 12800 iso can video the milkyway. Also tour us to the camera app of sony if there is manual photo and video mode. Thanks
Here is this dark allyway? Take a picture with a really good camera that is dark but has clear details with those light tower thing in the center. I want that wallpaper
Firstly, in my opinion, the P20 Pro is still a better camera for talking photos, even in low lights. However, sony have an entire different take on their camera and low light performance. XZ2 premium does in fact produce an image with more details, but the p20 produce an image that is brighter, although with less details, it still looks better on a small smartphone screen and on social media. The image produced by the sony can indeed be a overall better and clearer image after manually adjusted, but keep in mind most consumers won't do that, therefore Huaweis' take on low lights are more user friendly in my opinion. Secondly, the Huawei have 3x optical zoom and 5x hybrid zoom; I admit that the "lossless hybrid zoom" is just a gimmick but the sony lack any zoom capabilities which is a shame. Moving on to video capabilities, the p20 pro is simply disappointing. It is not in line with the current gen flagships and it can in fact be beaten by last gen flagships, part of it to blame the inferior Kirin 970 chip set, another part being that videoing capabilities aren't the focas of both Huawei and Leica. So yeah, the sony pulled ahead by a long way. Apart from the camera, I still think the p20 pro is a better handset overall. The sony have a very sexy back, but the front is so outdated. The P20 pro aren't the best looking phone either, but at least the screen to body ratio is doable. Not to mention, P20 Pro have EMUI desktop mode, which is actually useful ( when playing PUBG). And in terms of gaming performance, the sony is faster because of that sweet SD845, the P20 Pro is getting a GPU turbo update in the future, which oath to give the handset a great boost. Lastly, Huawei have faster charging and a longer battery life than the sony, not to mention the price. In conclusion, the P20 Pro is a better handset. If anyone read the whole thing, well-done, you are as bored as me.
In this comparison, Sony showed Iphone X the reality as Iphone too uses Sony Sensors and used to beat Sony in older Iphones variant. Sony didn't use the best Image Sensors on it's own Xperia Smartphones rather it gives the best sensor to other smartphones that's why Iphone used to beat Sony in camera comparison.
The smartphone market is so bad these days that people are considering a phone outdated because of its design… That's why we can now see this amount of disgraceful notches everywhere... Design is a matter of taste, only real spécifications and performance can be said outdated, and in this regard, Sony has some great "world first" as they like to call it: Motion Eye for example, 4K HDR recording, a 4K HDR screen since the XZ Premium (it may be overkill, but it's still unmatched till today). Beating the P20 Pro in videos is not that difficult, Huawei phones with their Kirin 970 are lacking when recording videos (it lacks IS at 4K for example). The Sony photos are great, they are noisier for sure, but there is definitely more details than the P20 Pro and they look more natural. But that would not be enough to help Sony to sell, hype nowadays seems to be better than real qualities...

Your totally wrong giving the edge to the P20 Pro in the low light comparison of the dark alley . XZ2P has kept much more details in the scene though its a little darker. The P20 Pro is bright but all the details have been smoothed out, looks like paste
S Saini if you use manual you can high Iso of Xperia Xz2 premium make it even brighter in video and Picture.
Yup. Use manual.
阿波根梨穂 but.. Sony Iso is not gimmick.. New innovation in technology they use They department camera to make xperia camera.. That why pic look natural like real life compare to another successor device ..
S Saini ... it's a lot darker. The P20 pro photo was better.
I agree but my comment was in regards to the automatic settings
The Sony definitely beats the iPhone and video-wise it is a serious winner over both the others you compared it to!
Sony and iPhones has natural pictures but Samsung and other Xiaomi shit have filters
RudolphOoO especially Huawei.
RudolphOoO "shit". You gotta realize alot of people like the "shit" filters
I think the XZ2 premium is superior!
Frando 99 ... you're wrong.
Hell, I'm not!
Lol... you all are bias blind.
carver 9 People like you are jealous because Galaxy and Iphone or your favorite brand cant do it and cant abide the fact that what Sony has achieved with their new technology as they took phone camera to a whole new level!
They will have to copy AUBE next year, till then Sony will be using something stronger...
Frando 99 ... dont get it. I bought a thousand dollar phone last yr (Note 8) because I thought of it as the best (along with every other reviewer). I have no reason to be jealous. If I thought sony was the best, I wouldve bought their phones but it is trash that isnt going to stack up well with the best. You bringing up camera quality without even knowing if it is better than the best out there. Lol... Samsung was the one that started this "take better pictures at low light" thing which is the reason other companies are trying to achieve the same results. They are following Samsung. Be thankful because if it wasnt for Samsung, you all would still be getting those terrible night time pictures. You Sony fans argued last yr for the premium and it was the lowest selling phone in the industry, and I wonder why. Sony fans can keep arguing for these phones but trust me, you all are the only ones that are doing it. It will continue getting left in the dust by Samsung, Google, and apple.
hey you!in some picture..p20 pro look brighter,but lose detail and blur...picture on xz2 premium is NATURAL and ORIGINAL...more detail even not bright than p20 pro,but SONY still the WINNER here!
DXomark score expectations???
With brightness on Sony there's still room for ISO settings, ultra sensitivity can perform more in manual
Dxomark is rubbish dude. The moment it shows xiaomi phone rating and actually testing from many reviewers is totally different. Dont bank on DXOmark bro
Ang Charlton thanks but if this phone got lower ranking than p20pro i will not buy this. can u tell me what is iso of p20 pro
ishaan simpson DXO mark is a JOKE!🤣🤣🤣
SONY is clearly the winner here, why so biased?
I'm unliking.
Huawei clearly won why so blind?
yup specially in video quality
Yeah.
In this video.
Sony lose to p20 pro is only. Alley and dark room photo
But sony win on the photo of dog toy and picture after that. Also sony win for low light video recording.
Sony win by 3 point against p20 pro 2 point.
Sorry for bad english
Naime Shirou yup
Yay! Since Sony win, Samsung, Apple, Huawei, etc should be producing XZ2P for 2018. Afterall Sony win. No point people buying all other handset! As Sony Win! So all other manufacturer can just OEM for Sony this year. Who want to buy losers eh?
Next Sony Xperia feature: Night Vision Mode 😂👌
Stephen Vicente 😂
Stephen Vicente 😂
there was a time when sony actually made a camera that could actually see thru shirts if i waas mistaken
art Shana go home you're drunk.
ruclips.net/video/7UBbjwPnW1E/видео.html here.. hahaha...
The specs on the XZ2 Premium are unmatched by any other phone regardless of whether we can tell the difference between QHD and 4K screen. Sony is really bringing it with their flagships except for some questionable design decisions. Also I think a more realistic lowlight test is just to turn on the flash for indoor scenes.
I have experience with older Sony Z5 premium, what I can say 4k screen on mobile is meaningless. I used to love Sony mobile phone as I went through the first Ultra Z, Z1 (sold), Z2 (sold) and then Z5 Premium. In all instances, the photos were disappointing. I am a big Sony Alpha camera and mobile fan but recently bought and used P20 Pro for traveling purposes.
My experience with P20 Pro is not disappointing but not 100% satisfactory for several reasons:
Pro:
1) EMUI is surprisingly very good (I have to bring this up as it increases the overall experience when launching camera app)
2) Monochrome sensor (Pro Mode) is so sharp even in low light (this is the best part of the camera)
3) Pro colour mode is great but not perfect (even work well without Night mode)
4) Night mode works great ONLY for landscape not portraiture or street photography
5) The bokeh mode is the best out there
Con:
1) No video stabiliser but I always use gimbal anyway
2) No 3rd party camera app can fully utilize the 3 camera system so stuck with Huawei built in default app. I tried many apps, they either work with one or two of the camera by manually switching the camera selection. The image produced is worst than the default app
3) Only certain modes allow the use of 40 and 20 megapixel sensor, so the majority of the photos will be taken with the 10 megapixel sensor which is probably why P20 Pro loose out in the details in the test shown here. I hope the test was done using the correct mode when comparing with the Sony XZ2 Premium
4) I suspect the night mode is just a longer exposure mode (limited to JPEG 10 megapixel), I personally would go to Pro mode with the same 5 seconds exposure but produced raw 40 megapixel output, better result
5) Raw mode only available in Pro mode
All in all, P20 Pro is the game changer. Many features are working great but I will keep Z5 Premium for video still despite the lens cover is scratched. If anyone considering which phone to choose, P20 Pro will soon be overthrown by the newer Vivo Nex S or the Oppo Find X. These phones though can't replace FF sensor :-)
Peace
Totally wrong... I own a Huawei P20 pro its awesome but brighter doesnt neccesary means better Sony had much better details and picture quality !
A Frank i own a huawei phone i think i agree with you.
No it didn't doesn't matter when you can't even see parts of the pic like the first pic.
Tap the dark area of the photo and it will change the exposure to higher levels. If it ain't enough, it can still be raised higher to achieve the same level of brightness.
The thing is that the XZ2 Premium chose to expose the whole scene in a balanced way, while the P20 Pro chose to expose it higher for the sake of making the image look brighter, which in turn makes people think it's better even when it's not.
The real challenge here is whichever can zoom in closer to the image and still retain a lot of detail.
I challenge P20 Pro fans to do this without pixel bining (XZ2 Premium doesn't even use anything to take a picture except its camera hardware and typical software).
Sadly the samples that came out from many sites don't look promising. They are very noisy even at low ISOs.
I hope Sony already fixed the software. I believe their camera can perform the best with the right software.
Sony explaned the placing of fingerprint sensor. Its places there so when you pick the phone up from your pocket, the fingers are there perfectly.
And the camera being so low and centered is beneficial, since it means your fingers are unlikely to cover the lens accidentally. The only downside I see to the low camera/fingerprint sensor is that it doesn't leave much room for the battery to be as big as it could be, since it has to stay smushed below those components.
Still a lot of Sony phones here in Sweden. I suppose because the connection with Sony/Ericsson in the past. Sony phones still got sold on all phone carriers.
Anyway nice to see Sony stepping up in cameras.
Cool to know! I want to visit Sweden this year when I go to Europe for work.
Sony is one of the favorite brand in Mexico, over Samsung.
P20 doesn't use Pixel Binning, they just use HDR for night mode, that is way the image looks bright but plain and desaturated.
The P20 is brighter but is just too soft, less noise but less detail, but the worst is that the color is destroyed!!!
The color science in the XZ2P es outstanding.
E. S. yea agree!
I did a comparison with my xzp and pixel 2; a lot of the time the Sony has a better coloured image despite having blown out highlights.
Rennie Ash the highlights which they improved in xz2
E. S. ... Samsung sells far more phones so it doesnt matter (even though you're wrong). Samsung phones are also better.
carver 9 not here, but their phones becomes so slow that people don't buy them anymore.
People prefer Sony, Huawei or Xiaomi.
I actually think those P20 Pro comparison photos were quite shit to the XZ2PREMIUM. The image maybe brighter but there's no definition at all
They look flat.
My first Sony phone was Z2 and I was using it til 2018. Everything worked well in this phone and I liked design of it... When XZ2 Premium got into my hands, I fell in love with it instantly! Best phone I ever used! Still runs without any lag and camera is fantastic!
Sony smartphones is still exist in Indonesia, I know several diehard fans of sony smartphones. But its true that it is losing to Chinese phone.
In the past, there are several Japanese smartphones in Indonesian market, panasonic, kyocera, fujitsu, etc. But now only sony and sharp. Sony has a good smartphones, but its too expensive for Indonesian and the mid range device is underpowered. Sharp smartphones are underpowered and ugly as hell.
I think the problem with Japanese product is they dont have the innovation they have back in the days. There are several innovation like 4K display or triluminos display, but all of that is too hard to be fathomed by general consumers. Visible "innovation" like 18:9 aspect ratio, small bezels, ugly notch are more likely to catch general consumers attention.
Andre Andrew the budget market is where Sony loses especially at the price point
quack quack wow, it seems someone woke up in the wrong side of the bed. Try some chill pill dude. I was commenting on 00:00 to 02:15 , just watch it.
But I cant disagree with you, our market is full of chinese product. In fact I'm using OnePlus 3T right now.
But despite of that, several smartphone makers in fact had invested in Indonesian market by building a factory. Like samsung, sony, asus, and several chinese company. And their flagship device are available in our market.
I'm so glad that you are not the ceo of those company though. And by judging by your comments, you won't ever be one anyway.
quack quack actually thats a simple question with simple answer. People with working brain can answer it by themself. I honestly dont know why you can't think of the answer.
It is because we are the 4th largest country by population, jobs can't keep up with our population. And also because there is a demand of workers.
Even the Sony service center was disaster. So, they deserve to be diminished
I love Sony but won't buy one since they're already fall behind Chinese innovation and after market service is the worst in Indonesia
WOW! the xz2 premium looked great in low light video.
Yeah XZ2 Premium beat iPhone X and Huawei P20 Pro
Japan culture theres no better... Even cars and phones. I love my Sony Xperia XZ2 compact. It's a shame. Just like Sony TV and PS4 pro I love. Peace. 🤗
thanks
Thank you for your likes. 😘
How’s your experience with XZ2 compact
I have a Sony XD70 TV with the PS4 pro as well, and Sony XA2. Looking for Sony a7III next with Sony Vegas, lol. Shame no Sony VAIO anymore. I still think Sony phones are way underrated, when pics viewed on 55" 4K TV you would know what Sony means.
All are made in China...
SONY = solid build quality + stable software experience with timely updates. You don't buy for specs and fancy looks. I dropped my XZ Premium so many times, I guess any other mobile would be dead by now.
you dont know about manual mode on Xz2 premium, do u?
Heng SovanDara I do
I see great potential for the XZ2PREMIUM. I imagine you could actually take decent night sky/ star/ galaxy photos with this phone.
That's quite exciting tbh
It's definetely possible. 30sec long exposure at 800-1000 iso
Hahaha you can do it with long exposure phone like nubia, asus zenfone, oneplus, xiaomi mi with 800-1600 iso. You don't need high iso to take a photo of stars. What you need is long exposure
Sony still quite big in europe and you wrong about Sony being behind. Yes Sony dont have that much gimiky functions as the others and if that is falling behind well then its true I guess.
Jerry Berglund what!!! Gimmicky!!! SONY IS THE MASTER... WATER PROOF 4K SLOW MO 960FP VIDEO ANIMATION LO LIGHT GREAT PHOTOS BATTERY LIFE... SONY IS KING. HOWEVER IT IS BEHIND BASED ON LOOKS AND MARKETING
TERA DACTAL yes one of those is a gimik. Slow-mo.your right about that. And if I did a list with gimiks, Sony would still have less than Samsung. And no, design isnt something you could be behind with. And when it comes to hardware is not after the others either.
TERA DACTAL but yes there are things Sony are behind with and thats in internal memory and maybe to smal Batteries
I love sony phones I have the xz2. And I want 4k display will get the xz2 premium
Ishmael Hardin xd
Owner of Z5P, XZP, XZ2C and considering to order XZ2P :-P
ON11360 nice
Ishmael Hardin mind giving me some money so I can buy the xz2 premium?
Vijay S not before I can afford to get it my friend
Finally Sony camera is the best
BTW Sony Won because he has 2 cameras and the P20 Pro has 3 meaning that in the low light, it should do better the Sony but it doesn't and your wrong Sony became the new low light King. Lets say makes next year 3 cameras, what would that look like with the second gen of the AUBE processor??? The design is good but not as the loop surface design but I believe this design could become something in the next few years with them tweaking and making the curve of the glass gentler.
The phone is good and quite good.
I heard in China it will be in the range of $800 and in Japan less. The US will be $1000 but actually the other phones hit more than that number last year and this year they will be more, so please stop blaming Sony.
Xz2 premium is best
Who wants
XZ2 Premium VS Pixel 2 XL 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Can you compare teir cameras ben ? Please 🙏
brighter image isn't a better image. There's many other things to consider.
Exactly. P20 Pro's pics are pasty as shit, but just because they are brighter on a few occasions, the reviewer thinks they are better. he should have blown the pictures to 1:1 and compared the quality. often phones choose different exposures, and it really varies from scene to scene, but it doesn't mean that the phone which chose a darker exposure is the worse.
Doesn't matter when Sony's pics are so dark you can't even see parts of it. Pasty beats a black blob like in the first pic any day.
JZ VR just like i said, it's only a matter of choosing different exposures from shot to shot, we won't know until he shows 1:1 crops, because at this magnification it looks like Huawei's photos are brighter but noisy and pasty at the same time
JZ VR and brighter doesn't mean better, if the Xperia's photos retain better detail in the shadows, you can brighten them up, and you can do that right in your phone editor, you don't even have to import them into photoshop
If you're talking about manual mode then Huawei has the better manual mode as well and twice the ISO, just accept the fact Huawei won and move on.
HUWAWEI isn't capable of photo adjustment. Because it's to light.it's overexposed. if you underexpose you can adjust brightness. So an over exposed image with to much light is you can't so you can think it's better but it's much worse. I see it a lot of times of reviews. That's is wrong. There for Sony is way better.
No it's not just about the exposure.
They use artificial intelligence to boost brightness by adjusting the shadows, highlights, contrast, and brightness. It's the same as what you get on a photo editing software.
You can take a dark image and brighten it cleanly using a software that can adjust brightness, contrast, highlight, and shadows. It's not similar to what a real high ISO camera delivers.
The proof of this is the brightness difference in the video. XZ2 P is brighter with videos because the P20 Pro could no longer perform the special brightening process on video. If it tries doing that, it may burst into flames.
I feel like all of the P20 Pro photos are over exposed. I prefer the more "natural" look of the Sony. I quote natural, because at this level, natural is really just pitch black.
The thumbnail though!
Adithya V K it's on purpose. I think the phones oddly low camera looks like that guy lol
ben's gadget reviews hahaha!! Good comparison. Loved the video, like always. Cheers!
LOLL!
lmao
Josh Dobbs
The sony looks like not a bad phone , however some questionable design , the finger print reader in the middle of the phone , you would think sony would have taken notice of samsungs last years finger print sensor location that sucked .
the bubble shaped back that spins like a top when on the table or when trying to type on a desk .
i actually prefer some bezels and the 16.9 aspect ratio , why did sony abandon last years xz premium design and just refine it a bit ??
No headphone jack ....... wtf sony ???
Kudos for being one of the only reviewers I've found who will tell people that 4K resolution on a 5"-6" screen is overkill. I understand that manufacturers want every possible edge they can have on their products but it's impractical given the viewing space.
Thanks for the comparison of the two cameras.
You forget Taiwan also the most support SONY phone Market
PH shieh oh yeah correct. Taiwanese people also have good ties with Japan.
If you are talking about the brightness only, Huawei did do a very good job; however, if you are talking about the image quality, I would say Sony won this battle. Those details kept in photos taken by Sony is far more than the Huawei did. But, to be frank, the XZ2P is way too bulky. Even though, I would buy one to enjoy.
P20 Pro might've won in some cases, but XZ2 Premium is the most consistent.
Even on the first low light shot, the XZ2 Premium didn't look horribly bad, the P20 Pro just did slightly better.
The second one, P20 Pro was brighter but not much detail at all. Someone even argues about being able to see something, well, the same brightness can be achieved on the XZ2 Premium if its exposure is focused towards the dark parts of the scene. Only that it has no specific exposure focus so it has to expose the whole scene in a balanced way, which it did very well.
The video, just not gonna speak anything anymore. But I'd even say that I prefer the iPhone X over the P20 Pro in video for at least having good stabilization.
P20 Pro only if I want pure photography and nothing else.
Otherwise, XZ2 Premium it is as an all-around camera phone.
This is, we're still waiting for Mate 20 Pro, Xperia XZ3, Pixel 3 XL, Galaxy Note 9, LG V40, and iPhone XI
Please tell from where did you buy that phone. I am a damn sony fan. I would like to get that as early as possible
pranav vinod Depends on where you live. For me in Sweden, I have to wait until "end of the summer"-said by Sony. I also want it as early as possible but can't really do much atm
alexdiezg i am living in India and sony hasn't said anything about the launch in India. I would like to get it at the earliest and would like to know from where these tech tubers are getting this so early
pranav vinod I don't know about Indian tech RUclipsrs, but tech RUclipsrs overall usually get a unit in beforehand so that they can review/test/compare etc. We who want to buy it have to wait for the retail version. I don't really know man, let's just hope for the best!
I as a iPhone X user wish Sony a good start for their xz2 premium. I love your consoles
Sony still no 1 in camera phone
That iPhone X is a LOL.😂
Han Go I saw Ur comment b4 watching the video and it was funny. I watched the video and saw the Iphone X then "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA". Mehn I almost passed out.
😂😂
If you by chance come to Hồ Chí Minh city of Vietnam, I would love to meet you to tell you we Sony fans here still love Sony. Their products are worth the money, you cannot say they are falling behind that simple.
Also the Cybershot cameras are top notch.
the Xperia simply destroyed the competition
XZ2 PREMIUM is better than IPHONE X and P20PRO than cons of XZ2 PREMIUM is still 1sec shutterspeed 😞😞😞 what are you doing SONY! Why do not Sony want to have their camera full potential!
6 sec nightmode on huawei is a great option, but not many have the patience for that, especially if the subject is not completely still. Sony did a very good job with these cameras, but as usual it won't see the sales numbers except for it's fanbase..... simply cuz it refuses to adopt the design language everyone expects.
The pictures of P20Pro are excellent, but Xperia is the best in the dark performance of movie shooting
No need for the bashing Sony intro!! And the low camera design looks awesome
, I love Sony Xperia phones😍
Could you share the full-sized samples please? The alleyway shot kinda looks better on the Sony to me. The Huawei literally looks like a video game it's so overly smoothed (in this particular photo anyway).
WOW AWESOME XZ2 PREMIUM KING LOWLIGHT!!!
It is good to see Sony back in the game when it comes to still images. I have had a Sony Xperia Z5, and oh boy, low-light shots where dissapointing. Sony is in the right direction now. Well done!
i just bought xa2 and xa2ultra from BB for me n my wife, for CAMERA selfie n the back is superb, i swear picture is super clear.
I don't like your review, your bashing Sony too much, and unnecessary and not knowing major why's of why those things are there and calling them overkill. Ooh not excelling at anything! Nonsense, bezels? Are you eating bezelless?. And you can't say it's getting close, it's better than Huawei p20 pro
Yeah. He make a big mistake here. You can see. The video is brighter than the picture of the alley right? Meaning in video mode, 12800 is use. If only he using manual mode. And increase the iso, that photo of alley is going to be good for Sony.
Sorry for bad english 😅
XZ2P best camera 😍
Nah. Sony is the new king of low light. Haha
Naime Shirou 🤣🤣🤣
You wish.
🤷🏻♂️
Actually your wrong because Sony has a lot and 4K isn't an overkill because it doesn't drain any battery besides it up-scales on certain apps. Sony has a lot in the competition but the thing is they don't market or publicise their phones and that's why it's losing.
Sony is and innovator and till now it innovates while still losing and other phones do stupid unpractical things like notches and 18:9 displays when there is not content for 18:9.
Sony created half what of the smartphone world has but no one appreciates and most of the people they don't know about because they're busy being shallow, superficial and going to other brands that doesn't have a thing.
What did the other companies do??? Nothing, except the Chinese when they did the VIVO NEX and OPPO X but tell me what did Apple do since most of you see it the best???
I don't blame Sony for the price and we don't have to blame Sony for what they're doing but the only issue they have is marketing.
In order to make money, you need to spend money.
You are right, my brother, unfortunately most consumers think superficially, they only see appearances. They have forgotten that Sony invented and introduced several technologies. Only companies have developed Sony technologies. Unfortunately, they are not thinking deeply and wisely.
However Sony's luxury phone
You are the man. Keep support Sony!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Of course, my friend. Sony is the best and can not forget its history of technology
Naime Shirou Thanks and I will :)
For me, the Xperia wins, it has much more details
I like the design of the Sony though, from the back. Liked this video, subscribed.
P20 pro has AI features which enables you to get better shot in auto mode. On the other hand Sony camera doesn't have a good auto mode but when you rely on manual mode it can seriously beat P20 pro with ease
How’s the Huawei Jordan when Sony was better in video and on par on photo?
It wasn't on par in photo.
JZ VR The photos in the video were better on the Sony, except for the second picture in the comparison.
On the alley photo, P20 used long exposure... Obviously it will be better, than the XZ2 Premium which had less than 1 sec exposure...
Sony wins with natural colors and without idiot post processing....
As far as I’m aware Japan still is the king of technology since if you want to be a leading competitor in the home entertainment systems for example then you need to be based in Tokyo with the brains, resources and culture.
hey i kinda liked the old look cause it was practical and simple and wasnt beautiful nor ugly plus some people still love the 16:9 ratio because it is more supported than an 18:9 with a freaking notch
The Huawei p20 is brighter in that one shot but the details was shit compare to the Sony. You should look at details more than just which is brighter.
I hate your comment on Xperia phones. But it's a well-done comparison.
It still does have front-facing speakers and wireless charging, right?
yes
Yes, it has! Sony didn't sacrifice anything except for the *damn HEADPHONE JACK*
Thanks
Wow that alleyway is something out of Bladerunner :) I think the XZ2 premium photos are nicer more pleasing to look at, nice contrast.
It's amazing how in most configurations the Xperia XZ2 Premium wins out of all Smartphones with wide differences ... Sony is clearly the best Smartphone of all time!
Great by video and I use notes and take notes all the time when it comes to info. It helps me keep facts and data straight
XZ2 premium is good but the long beezels make it look alike the old Z & XZ series
Pixel binning, as a cheat, doesn't help with motion. And as a general rule, when I'm doing low light shots, there are things moving. Also, pixel binning (usually) doesn't help when shooting video.
There's no processing substitute for greater light sensitivity. And XZ2P, with its monochrome low-light camera, beats all other smartphones on the market in that regard.
Sony definitely has more potential. Wider apertures and a gigantic extra B/W sensor with 1.55um pixel size is surely a strong foundation on which Sony needs to improve their software immediately. AUBE is clearly more video processing focused than still processing.
It's about damn time Sony actually did something that was actually good. Now just fix up that design and bring the headphone jack back and price it more aggressively and I'd buy it.
I have an XA2 Ultra. I like it.
great video, does this one do 4k 60fps? the xz2 doesn't and still 1080p 960fps?
also Sony should be beating all competition when it comes to the camera and its not
marklola12 sony did not add 4k60 because EIS does not work. S9+, OP6 and u12+ dont have EIS for 4k60 too..
To increse the 960fps duration and quality the sensor needs more DRAM inside, it has same imx400 of XZ Premium
Moisés Silva yeh but why not add 4k 60fps with out EIS like the others lol some people use Gimbals for stabilising video, its stupid not to add it, its the 1 thing why I won't buy the phone lol
No 4K 60fps is supported on XZ2 Premium. It supports 4K 30fps with EIS but the AUBE Engine becomes disabled in this resolution, you can shoot extreme low light mode in only FHD 30fps and 60fps.
At least you should be able to record 4K HDR (which is first ever on a smartphone, Sony being first with great tech yet again) and immediately watch your recorded raw footage on you 4K HDR screen!
alexdiezg the HDR footage does not look that good though, read reviews about it lol also 9 out of 10 people do not watch recorded footage from their phones on their TVs most people just do not do it
I actually thought The Alley photo went to XZ2 , the P20 looks so blurred and almost water colored haha
No p20 pro is not still the king of low light.. As well as p20 pro do use 5 Sec Sutter ....if u do that same on xz2 premium with much more ISO than p20 pro ...u can see xz2 premium always better than p20 pro in any condition...
The ISO of the P20 Pro is twice of Sony's at 124000, dumb ass. Sony can't do handheld long exposure, no other phone can they all require tripods apart from the P20 Pro.
And in any case, if the subject is moving, the shot could've been missed.
What if I want to take a burst shot in low light??
Right, I will have to wait an interval of 4s before taking another shot. Good job Huawei!
Johnny Since ..not that much but it also happens on p20 pro...with quick moving subjects
Huawei phones use long shutter speed for night modes... but it leads to blown out images that may look bright but dont have much details in them
I agree with you about the camera. It should make same with original placing.
Was the night mode on the p20 pro used? The photos looked pretty bright so it might of been used, but I feel like some of the photos should have been brighter than they were. And please don't come and say it needs to be a fair test because if there is a feature like night mode it should be used. Software is starting to be more and more relevant in phone cameras and if some software is left out of a test then I would argue that the test is unfair. Sure you could argue that you don't want to wait 4 seconds for the shot and the extra processing time. I would say that if you want to take a nice low light shot it'll take some time to line up your shot and you wouldn't mind waiting ~10 seconds extra for a nicer shot.
Sony managed and improved with two cameras, which made Huawei with three. 😃😃😀
try to take a milkyway picture or a night scene because there so lot of detail
Sony is similar to HTC. They did so many things 1st and had classic unique designs. But the big players copied all of that and then made themselves far bigger names off of it. Ask any Apple fan if they knew that Jobs hired Sony's lead designed to create all of the iPhone prototypes? Bet they don't know that. I'll bet they do t know about how when Apple was crying about Samsung memos saying "be more Apple", Apple was right there a few years earlier passing out memos saying "be more Sony". Also Sony was making waterproof phones and all glass phones way back in the late 2000s when nobody else was and now they all do that. It's all really sad, but it is what it is. They're not dead yet though!
Ketika Sony serius
SONY GOD FOREVER ✌️#1 👑

Good work SONY
Nice info. But I do hope u get to do some nice sharp photo for your vietnam trip and maybe show us some video quality and showing stabilization
7:29 OMG iPhone's picture is literally black lol
Btw awesome comparison, I do prefer P20 Pro with the modern design and that 3 camera setup :D
And where Is Kobe..?? 😁 the iphoneX? Lol..😂😂
CarL Macasusi lol
I love you man, cheers another brother from Hong Kong, I m thinking to get for review , Sony phones give me more views so I think Sony still have good fanbase
Jimmy a Geek thank you Jimmy!
Sorry bro but i think you are too honest, that makes you sound like a racist xD Sony is number 1 sorry again but that's just my opinion.
And for the bezels is better to have them that big, because most of phones are now without bezels and that is so annoying because sometimes i touch the screen from the bottom and the top by mistake, bezels gonna help with that problem since you are also saying XZ2P is heavy.
DmC_Alexander 666 I'm racist because?
When you travel to vietnam try to video the stars at night around 10pm. Im wondering if 12800 iso can video the milkyway. Also tour us to the camera app of sony if there is manual photo and video mode. Thanks
Finally a real hands on. thanks for this!
the photos and videos you shot by XZ 2 Premium were by manual camera or auto-cam? please
Here is this dark allyway? Take a picture with a really good camera that is dark but has clear details with those light tower thing in the center. I want that wallpaper
Sony you like batman, the king of low light
You should explain how you take's the photos or video
Use automatic or manuals setting
Firstly, in my opinion, the P20 Pro is still a better camera for talking photos, even in low lights. However, sony have an entire different take on their camera and low light performance. XZ2 premium does in fact produce an image with more details, but the p20 produce an image that is brighter, although with less details, it still looks better on a small smartphone screen and on social media. The image produced by the sony can indeed be a overall better and clearer image after manually adjusted, but keep in mind most consumers won't do that, therefore Huaweis' take on low lights are more user friendly in my opinion. Secondly, the Huawei have 3x optical zoom and 5x hybrid zoom; I admit that the "lossless hybrid zoom" is just a gimmick but the sony lack any zoom capabilities which is a shame.
Moving on to video capabilities, the p20 pro is simply disappointing. It is not in line with the current gen flagships and it can in fact be beaten by last gen flagships, part of it to blame the inferior Kirin 970 chip set, another part being that videoing capabilities aren't the focas of both Huawei and Leica. So yeah, the sony pulled ahead by a long way.
Apart from the camera, I still think the p20 pro is a better handset overall. The sony have a very sexy back, but the front is so outdated. The P20 pro aren't the best looking phone either, but at least the screen to body ratio is doable. Not to mention, P20 Pro have EMUI desktop mode, which is actually useful ( when playing PUBG). And in terms of gaming performance, the sony is faster because of that sweet SD845, the P20 Pro is getting a GPU turbo update in the future, which oath to give the handset a great boost. Lastly, Huawei have faster charging and a longer battery life than the sony, not to mention the price.
In conclusion, the P20 Pro is a better handset.
If anyone read the whole thing, well-done, you are as bored as me.
In this comparison, Sony showed Iphone X the reality as Iphone too uses Sony Sensors and used to beat Sony in older Iphones variant. Sony didn't use the best Image Sensors on it's own Xperia Smartphones rather it gives the best sensor to other smartphones that's why Iphone used to beat Sony in camera comparison.
The smartphone market is so bad these days that people are considering a phone outdated because of its design… That's why we can now see this amount of disgraceful notches everywhere...
Design is a matter of taste, only real spécifications and performance can be said outdated, and in this regard, Sony has some great "world first" as they like to call it: Motion Eye for example, 4K HDR recording, a 4K HDR screen since the XZ Premium (it may be overkill, but it's still unmatched till today).
Beating the P20 Pro in videos is not that difficult, Huawei phones with their Kirin 970 are lacking when recording videos (it lacks IS at 4K for example).
The Sony photos are great, they are noisier for sure, but there is definitely more details than the P20 Pro and they look more natural.
But that would not be enough to help Sony to sell, hype nowadays seems to be better than real qualities...
Hi thnx for video. Sonys mechanical shutter should be used for taking shots
