Thank you, very well done. I also like your comments. I ‘d just wait a little bit longer when the camera ID is revealed. Instead of stopping the video every time it would be nice to have the time to recognise the phone and then proceeded while your video is still running.
This is indeed very true. But it also reflects the expectation of regular users over how a phone camera should perform. For me personally as an amateur photographer, I couldn't admire enough how natural and realistic Sony phones have given.
Thanks for the great video, im impressed by the Sony. Excited for Bokeh mode pictures and macro shots as well as more zoom shots compared to other flagships.
Was roaming around in the same area with a slightly older gen ‘mystery phone’ lately. It’s a pity we’ve missed. Nice shots showing the great leap Sony did. Hope they get their deserved appreciation from reviewers and sales. Liked mostly the Sony “auto” or Mystery pics. Mystery’s yellow tint sometimes is simply wrong but they are often great at challenging daylight situations. Sony’s auto is remarkably good now in similar conditions. Also, great compact documentary format.
BTW, just wanted to mention this, I think Android OEM should start focusing on video quality starting next year to the point that we can't even tell it came from a smartphone phone, that would be awesome
I didn't always like the sony Xperia VI but for most of them it was my favourite in auto mode. Thanks for sharing this 🙏. I'm certainly considering buying it
Haven't finished watching the video but its very obvious the mystery camera is an Iphone, only iPhones make pictures yellow 😂 i wouldn't say its bad its mostly good and bad
Why did Sony not upgrade their sensors. They are quite old. Exmor T is superseeded by LYT T sensors that are better than the 888. Not even talking about the abysmal sensor size and age for the tele and ultrawide.
100% ..... I didn't go for the 1 V as I was sure they'd upgrade the sensors in the 1 VI (being 2024), but they've just plodded along with the same old. No more Xperia for me!!!
Great Review, I like seeing the Xperia in the hands of a professional. This is what the Xperia is all about. I may end up getting the Mk6 but my Mk5 is still very good. Im most curious to see how the 6 runs Warzone Mobile with that VRR screen. I really hope Sony releases an Xperia Stream designed for the Mk6. I just ordered one for my Mk5 and i think that Snapdragon 8 gen 3 could be a Beast of a chipset for mobile gaming. If you can run some tests of the Mk6 at 120fps on Warzone, that would get a TON of views. We would love to see what Activisions collaboration with xperia is all about.
Great video, appreciate your time and effort getting up so early! I have not had an Xperia since the mark 2, I just needed a bit software enhancement as I have DSLRs, I bought the Huawei P60 pro, but this does look like a massive step in the right direction for Sony 👍
14mins in.....the photos on the experia is starting to look abit off....the mystery phone seem to do abit well with details....17 mins....the bridge looks great on the experia...perfect
Vivo 100 Ultra would be better because of better zoom sensors. Xperia 1 vi is still using the same tiny 1/3.5 inch sensor from 6 years generation ago. Even though it can now zoom to 170mm, the pictures are blur and usable. Only the Xperia 1 vi 24mm main camera is good
Nice video! I appreciate your work, it's the same thing every year when Sony launch their flagship phone, they have the most natural images, like their tv's, normally. Proud to be Sony fan.
Great tests with details. My favorite is your voice tho. :-) Xperia seems showing ‘close to real’ feel. And iPhone Pro showing desirables. I believe almost all users modify their result. So, great detail might be the most matter. personally, most matter of picture is the focal lengths. in terms of what close to what i see feeling, phone cameras can’t really capable of it. Hopefully AI can fix it later on. tho it would be more likely 3D rendering not really photo. thanks again.
Hello, I watched 43 Xperia 1 VI videos. Why has no one continuously zoomed from 0 mm to 170 mm in video mode? I'm very curious about the lens transitions, are they smooth or choppy?
My primary judging criteria was details and sharpness. Other things can be managed through a quick edit. And the mystery phone was the best most of the time.
Very interesting video thanks ! 90% I chose Xperia Automode and 10% your Pro Mode and I’m really surprised that the mystery phone was an iPhone 15 pro max
Please help us here.....recent updates on my 1 v has updated the algorithm on auto shooting...however I was trying the macro lense photography after the update I found some improvements on 3.5 close in photography in macro mode. Have you found the latest updates from Sony have enhanced the camera set up on the 1 5 ?
the PRO and Auto mode results are not consistent across the situations! so i was guessing wrong a lot! The Auto mode is actually very good i think, but not always.
That's still being worked on...I think they normally launch their devices a bit later so they can iron out these kinds of things. But this time the launch date is just a couple of weeks away.
It's a blind camera test. So the positions change in each photo. The idea is decide for yourself which looks the best before seeing which phone / mode was used.
I said about Xperia V that it is almost there because of the inconsistent wide and tele sensors, the average brightness and the support.The Xperia VI looks like a feature/future packed device (good cameras, the only full music/media top device, better UI, etc.) with an average display for the price.2k or variable was the way to go.The only believe that I have without viable arguments is that maybe this fall we will have a PRO device that will be very hard to get because from what it looks it will surpass the 1400-1500 price range.
@@kujtimzymeri3358 Sony is never been better, and sorry to break for you, Sony is the only one that sucks from all brands, and sorry to break the spirit for Sony, but that's how it is. They are ranked most lowest point of all brands rn Just hoped that things will going to change, hopefully. Maybe will, but not now. And except for Motorola and other low-brands, they are just trash
The colour science of the iPhone caught my attention in the beginning which made me lean towards it. But what really gave it away was when you checked the time on your Apple Watch. From then I knew I was right
Photo quality as good as always, which means not good enough. No matter how advanced the sensor, no matter how much processing power is available, no matter how many Sony Photo Engineers help, Xperia phones simple can't learn how to do "dynamic range".
Super video and really appreciate the time and effort you made here. It's definitely something you should do again 👏👏👍 For me, however, as a Sony 1V, I felt Sony went sideways on the camera and downgraded on the phone in all aspects. Losing the 4K display was a bad choice along with the aspect ratio of the size of the phone and then not reducing the price to reflect these downgrades. But that I guess is another story in itself. As per the photos, they were some I felt were terrible on the Sony and some medicore and the odd one that stood out. Please don't let that put you off from doing these again in the future. Thanks 👍
I think the pictures that have ”blown” highlight detail look better. The modern smartphone hdr look just appears unnatural to me. I much prefer the more dramatic look of the pro mode
I really like Xperia series. So far I broke my 1 mk V and got a Pro I because US doesn't have the 1 VI. How is 1 VI sell in UK I wonder. I really like Sony to profit to continue this lineup.
I chose Pro Mode for all but two images, both of which were the mystery phone. Does this mean that the Xperia would not be a good choice for me as a point and shoot device?
I've never really understood this smartphone camera obsession with HDR. A night photo should retain some detail, yes, but it SHOULD be dark. Capturing the accurate "mood" of the scene is a much better pedigree than capturing as much textural detail as possible, at the expense of any contrast that may be in the scene.
True to life experience of Sony and its Xperia 1 IV & V models: 1. Never upgraded its camera software as it should. Still crap sharpness and grain overall in auto and mostly manual. In manual, burned pixels everywhere by bad noise management software. Its front one is simply utter crap regarding bokeh, focusing is fixed, and it cannot take far away subjects. The videos crap in low light. Bad HDR overall in dark spaces of the shot. Crap lens with lots of undesired color and light flares. 2. Utter crap heat management that was never solved, when it's hot its speed is more than 50% lowered, OLED gets third times darker. In the past, the device turned off for a random amount of time. 3. Utter crap OLED with burned zones on the margins after strong light usage that only by crap upgrades some they hid. 4. Because of getting hot 'adios' water resistance and its proof. 5. Utter crap LED torch (for videos) and flash (for telephoto shooting) that in many situations of low light it's useless. Never upgraded by software. 6. Software upgrades are lame overall and still rare. 7. Latest news: Sony now will not answer by Sony Customer Support that its very few replies are that its top device doesn't need any improvement (they know better), but their true life testers and fans are still complaining. 8.

Not a big mystery, when you see yellow photos you know it it is iphone.
i choose all the auto mode photos except the one in 11:35 . great job sony
Good video mate
Thanks 🙏 It always makes it feel worth the effort when I get comments like this
I'd be curious about a comparison between Xperia VI vs VIVO X100 Ultra with both having Zeiss T* coating.
Vivo 100 Ultra would be better because of better zoom sensors. Xperia 1 vi is still using the same tiny 1/3.5 inch sensor from 6 years generation ago. Even though it can now zoom to 170mm, the pictures are blur and usable. Only the Xperia 1 vi 24mm main camera is good
This is fu*kin phenomenal! 90% of the photos from xperia i loved (poor iphone) this is what happened when we put AI on Xperia phone 🔥🔥🔥
Am I the only one who didn't like any of the photos taken from the mystery phone and liked 90% of the photos taken from auto mode.😅

Hello, I watched 43 Xperia 1 VI videos. Why has no one continuously zoomed from 0 mm to 170 mm in video mode? I'm very curious about the lens transitions, are they smooth or choppy?
I saw a video on youtube between optical zoom its fluid without steplag maybe on digital will be ms laggy
Remember it is early software so cameras will improve
Software cannot increase the "physical" res of those outdated 12mp sensors I'm afraid :-(
You can tell the Sony phone as the 2 pictures have the same width. The mystery phone is wider so 2 are similar width and one is wider
And there's me thinking the mystery phone was a Samsung s24!
Have sony upgraded the front facing camera on the Xperia VI?
Would love a comparison between Xiaomi 14 Ultra and Vivo x100 Ultra? I like Sony naturalness but they seem to lack certain areas.
I am only saying that the sound is awesome
good video
Sony smarthone is the more batter than samsung
My primary judging criteria was details and sharpness. Other things can be managed through a quick edit. And the mystery phone was the best most of the time.
No oversharpening love it!

Great review. I know this off the camera topic. But have you been able to test the 3.5m audio jack how is the sound quality ? Is it great ?
Not yet...but, I will very soon
The screen resolution is a massive let down! 😔
A lot of people seem to be saying that. But in reality when you actually use it...you kind of forgot about the 4K...well I did

16:48 Woow , Citroen C5 Mk2 in heart of London 😄... How cool is that 👌😄
I mostly liked the auto mode ones on the Xperia 1 VI. Definitely very tempting to get it over the Pixel 9 Pro.
Some good results from auto mode initially, but then it all falls apart in later tests.
warmer tone for iphone is normal... it has been
Great video. Loved the "mystery " addition. I'm a bit disappointed with the video quality though..
That's still being worked on...I think they normally launch their devices a bit later so they can iron out these kinds of things. But this time the launch date is just a couple of weeks away.

Want to see Xperia 1 VI vs Xiaomi 14U camera comparison.
compare it with vivox100 ultra
I didn't understand which photos were from each Sony and Iphone and I watch until the end can anyone tell me from left to right what are the phones?
It's a blind camera test. So the positions change in each photo. The idea is decide for yourself which looks the best before seeing which phone / mode was used.
@@WhatGear One suggestion is to use a letter in each one, so in the end we can know which letter was what and review and think about it :)

11:35 The left one is the most natural looking and it's got some good HDR innit, so I'll take that
hands up if you got them all right!
Yeah, no way. They seemed inconsistent. Just proves the s/w is frigging with everything
I said about Xperia V that it is almost there because of the inconsistent wide and tele sensors, the average brightness and the support.The Xperia VI looks like a feature/future packed device (good cameras, the only full music/media top device, better UI, etc.) with an average display for the price.2k or variable was the way to go.The only believe that I have without viable arguments is that maybe this fall we will have a PRO device that will be very hard to get because from what it looks it will surpass the 1400-1500 price range.

You guys can Hype the Sony Xperia as Much as you want the camera quality is still shit. Did you ever try with ? It's way way way better
You were watching SONY Xperia advertisement (positive review), thank you. P.S. and don't look at stabilization while moving.
All of the footage of me talking to Camera while walking is shot on Xperia. Look for the watermark;)
Do you even understand what's going on? in fact, the cameras are the same as on the xperia 1 m 5. Sony just updated the software ....
If this phone doesn't last at least 8h after they took out the 4k screen, I'm not upgrading from my 1 Mark 5...

Ok. It after the first comparison shots, it was easy to learn which one is the mystery device because every photo was much brighter.
Why samsung's and iphone's photos are getting more and similar nowadays
For iPhones users warmer tone is always natural. The King 👑 of smartphones photography has arrived the VivoX100Ultra. Review that beast ASAP.
You need to make a video of this phone with pixel cam or something to see how it performs with better software processing. It clearly has the hardware
i shose Promode 5 times xperia 1 vi 4 times and then mystery 1 time that was the result for me
Iphone is the mystery phone
Im honestly most surprised someone on an e-bike didn't swipe the phone outta your hands
Now let's compare it with Xiaomi 14 Ultra
Nice locations
No here is hoping that Sony puts out a North American version I can use on AT&T
