As an Xperia fan myself, I'm glad you enjoyed this device. It's not the most powerful, versatile or the greatest point and shoot in the market, but it's just so dang impressive to have a lot of Sony tech crammed into such a small package. Probably time for you to try the 1 VI when it come out next 😂.

If money wasn't an issue, I'd buy this in a heartbeat. I used to own Xperia phones so I'm a Sony fan. Thanks for reviewing.

I'm glad that Malaysia reviewer still aware of Sony Xperia phone. I'm Xperia user and used to take group photos and everyone are impressed with quality of photo (I'm mainly photo pro manual mode to adjust and fixed white balance, AEL, eyes AF).. most people not even know it's Sony phone. I have full set of tool like vlog monitor, Bluetooth grip remote control, Sony wireless mic that can use for interview video session..

One of the best reviews I've seen of this phone, the Sony phones are not for the average user, most ppl demand all sorts of tricks and gimmicks, the Sony phone is a proper phone for enthusiasts.

Its xperia, gotta give like.
The thing about Xperia camera is the way it process the light, trying to keep it as natural or camera like, which is very natural and comfortable.

I would like to call this the honest phone because it encourages you to take genuine photos and videos without using any processing. It really gives you the most realistic image possible when it is dialed in right.

That sd card tray looks awesome! Other manufacturers stopped providing SD card slots to sell more 512GB phones but the SD card is actually the fastest and most reliable way to access a large photo/video collection on a computer. Plugging my phone to the computer with the usb cable makes me want to tear my hair out!

Those colors from both photos and videos are truly amazing. Priced at RM4500 (shopee near RM4000), at this price range most people would have just go for iPhones to be honest.

salute.. respect to you.. im notice youre the only 1 youtuber tech malaysian are using sony xperia..

As a Fuji shooter, i really love those colors, it reminds me a lot of the Fuji's film simulations. Great samples too!

I've always been a fan of those Sony cameras, the video and picture quality is one of the best💯

[ariruuz]

that's why i love Sony Xperia. I'm currently using the Xperia 5iii and 5iv and planning to upgrade it. but, since knowing that the 5v didn't have a telephoto lens, i think i should wait for the next Xperia. Xperia 5vi maybe. and i hope Sony will bring back a telephoto lens to it's compact phone cause i love compact phone. the picture or video that comes out is very natural with huge bitrate compared to the other phone. samsung, pixel, and others didn't offer that naturality 😅

[mangekyou]

i have to say the colors on the pictures are truly stunning

[tuckeyuk]

Just got one (through work so price not an issue). Immediately impressed with the camera, even on basic mode. Very natural and sharp images compared to the Pixel 8 Pro I'm comparing it with. Sending the Pixel 8 Pro back, it's massive and the photos are overprocessed crap.

[aliettienne]

2:05 You do speak the truth the clarity of the video and pictures are immensely clean. It resonates with me when you use the phrase "a camera with a phone in it" as to say the phone is a dedicated camera.

The 'missing feature' from all the others is the half-press to focus shutter button. ïreally miss not having it from my Xperia handsets.
(the S, the T, Z1c, Z3c - fantastic units)

@3:58 is that a Sony Ericsson K800i? 😂 that was my first phone! and then i switched to the sliding SE phone and then to Smsung and then back to Sony Live with walkman, back to Smsung and the last Sony phone I bought was the XZ. now I'm using Smsung again. if only my XZ didn't slow down after 2 years, i would've used it much longer and stayed with Sony. i did plan on getting the 1V but I was afraid it would slow down too after 2 yrs 😢

[kuaqimai]

I using sony 1v really love it yeah the color is very natural and does not pop up like Samsung phone the only bad thing is the price and there is no dual app supported . This phone is meant for photographer which is a niche market anf and the screen size is kinda of diff also

You should try the burst mode 10/20/30fps regular and 10/20fps hdr. All with continuous eye tracking autofocus. Its the reason why I bought the phone. Its nailing focus.
