Sony Xperia 1 VI | I love and Hate it!

Finally, I got to test the newest flagship phone from Sony, the Xperia 1 VI. I think it's one of the best camera phones for 2024 and a content creator's dream phone. In today’s video, I'll be sharing why I both love and hate this phone. Let’s go!

Finally, I found someone upload a better review of the XPERIA 1 VI. Other videos I watched are all complain of lack of AI

Your balanced view is much appreciated. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Great Video!! Sony phones consist of unique features that other manufacturers do not offer to the consumer. I bought my Sony Xperia 1 VI 2days ago and I luv it.🙌🙂📸

I miss an EV slider in the video mode the most, especially for usage with S-Cinetone. There is a lot to get out of it if you get more precise conrol.

Shooting video on the telephoto, I would use a tripod and turn off the stabilizer. IQ is really fantastic for a phone then. Shooting stills on the telephoto, I prefer to shoot them in RAW because the automatic processing is too harsh on the telephoto optics. You can get nice pictures out of it, but you have to work a bit more for it, unfortunately. On the other side, it is still better to have 170mm of reach in your pocket with some work to do than being forced to use digital zoom or have a big lens with you for 1-2 shots only.

I don't understand what you were saying you hate about the selfie camera not focusing or something. You give the thumbs down but the picture quality looks great to me!

It was a simple and understandable review. Thanks.

I really cannot understand what is wrong with the front camera. It is excellent even on the 1V and your example shooting looks great. Cheers.

I agree with everything you mentioned and would like to add two more points.

Pros:
It's arguably the best flagship phone available on the market, even when compared to the Galaxy and iPhone.

Cons:
1. Sony released the phone in limited markets, which means it lacks support for many 4G and 5G bands. As a result, Galaxy and iPhone still outperform Sony when it comes to network connectivity in more areas.

2. After using it for five months, I've noticed something strange—there's a rattling sound inside when I shake the phone. It's quite odd and concerning."

Love it your review so well balance thanks man...

Nice video, I agree on the telephoto lens, it's really bad, especially considering the fact, that this phone is by a camera and lens titan.
I can however forgive the week selfie cam, I don't really usw that particular camera a lot, but that depends on the person ofcourse.
What I however would love to see in a Mark VII version is Sony using the display bar at the top for a 3D face unlock, that would really be a top selling point to me!

Great review! straight to the point! I'm in the market for a new phone and really like the fact Sony has a 3.5mm port and a micro SD card slot, on top of a brighter screen and slightly better camera system than the 1V had. Second on my list, at the moment, would be the Oneplus Open. It seems to have a great camera system as well and a very nice design. I just don't know if I really want to switch to a foldable. What are you're thoughts on this? I'd be coming from an iPhone 12 Pro Max, but want to switch to Android.

Great review man i love it, please make another video on the selfie camera ant macro camera of this sony phone, the selfie video seems to very shaky so please cover this sefie camera on another video if possible thanks

Just mentioned on another youtuber review of this phone that how on earth sony chooses a 24mm lens without autofocus for the front display when this phone is geared towards "creators"? It produces soft out of focus videos and photos. Also, the telephoto lens is really crap. Paid nearly £1300 and I expect flagship quality from all the lenses. The fact that Sony does not offer trade-ins for their new phones is also making me want to sell my Xperia 1 vi and get a Samsung as I know I'll get at least 50% off my phone when I upgrade for a newer model. No trade-ins and subpar cameras (except for the main one) is a really tough pill to swallow. Nice review.

Why do this phones costs now like a car price? ..sad 😔 . I'm too old/poor for these prices .. My dream phone that I'll never afford . Writing this from my xz2 6gb version. Prices nowadays are way too high. ..

Can you post best manual settings to photograph the moon please?

Aside from the telephoto sensor size and lack of autofocus in front camera, I think there are a couple of issues. When you campare Xperia with other phones like moto or samsung, you may discover the UI design on Xperia is so outdated.
The Xperia offers fewer features and lacks features like calls recording, app clone on moto, Samsung Notes or journal on the iPhone(it is said that iPhone can record calls and trascript them into journals), Samsung notes can record whole conference, transcript into notes and output a conference summary. If xperia has notes, maybe it can establish collabotive linkage between sony apps like music pro and notes, Music pro for recordings and notes for transcription from recordings.
Talking about camera pro, Xperia doesnt offer features like one-touch time-lapse photography in basic mode and telephoto macro shooting need to adjust focus manually. I dont think a non-camera user would know how to adjust focus manually on a cellphone. I think only 120mm telephoto macro shooting need to be reserved(neednt more closer) and add autofocus. In Pro mode, UI should be back to photography Pro on xperia 1 V, provides users clearer experience of parameters adjustment. HDR algorithm and antishake need to be improved.
Charging speed need to be faster. Moto has 125w wired charging, sony could be 45-66w. Screen resolution should be 2k and vapor chamber could be larger.

Nice, ang habol ko lang sa phone is camera and battery and speaker. Pero malaki para sakin size ng 1vi waiting for 5vi

I want a 6.9 inch screen size 😢 Sony must listen to enthusiastic owners of their phone brand
