I have the V, and it's an amazing device. Worth the upgrade from the IV. I do think this video highlights the different philophies of these companies. I find iPhone shots way too sharpened and artificial looking, while Samsung tends to over saturate. I prefer Sony's approach to make their phones replicate their mirrorless camers. I guarantee any mirrorless camera would have also blown out the sky. It's an artistic decision.

Regarding HDR in video recording for sony smartphones, the HDR doesn't actually get activated automatically when the scene has strong highlights.
Sony smartphones doesn't use AI to detect the scene and automatically activate HDR for video recording, it's just the white balance and exposer that automatically gets adjusted while video recording, and keeps the HDR manual.
For sony smartphones the HDR must get manually activated to get the use out of it.
So I would say it would always be more fair to keep the HDR activated on sony, while comparing it to other smartphones, since on phones like iphone and Samsung the HDR is always activated to bring out most details in bright and dark areas at all time.
And especially since you are specifically judging the HDR for video.
Then why not active the HDR before testing!

Interesting that reviews tend to talk about which looks best as opposed to which is most realistic and life like

As a photographer, you will make adjustments to shot, you will shoot the same shot with various iso and settings. Then in post processing you will make your tweaks like back in the day in the dark room. I see friends of mine go to places and have shitty portraits and photos and they say dude how do you get such good photos. Skill will always win and knowing your tool. For the average Joe they need to learn photography.

So you just completely leave out manual mode ?

[DavidWilson-fret]

With a few software tweaks, Sony could be amongst the very best in the smartphone camera game. Would also help if they made their camera experience more user friendly, they really have been aiming at the more knowledgeable user-type, and that is perfectly fine, but it severely limits their market range. If that's what they want to do, that's fine, but it's a shame. Sony makes excellent products, and we need all the competition in the smartphone market that we can get to push innovation and lower prices.

0:53 with all due respect, I'm not trusting the opinion of someone who says the Sony looks the WORST. It's the best of the bunch! Look at the splotchiness of the leg hairs on the Samsung and iPhone compared to the Xperia.

[AndroidDigest]

You should have tried to get the best manual settings as well, and let that be it's own category. That's the thing I'm interested in, especially with Sony having the video app. I want to know at it's best how good the sony can be. Especially in a vlogging situation or a youtube situation. But without that info, it's hard to tell how good the camera is.

Also for other users, remember that all this is just AUTO MODE only. Now ALL things being equal and if the reviewwer was being honest then he would REPEAT this review in FULL MANUAL modes on ALL the phones. But reviewers WILL NEVER show Sony products in full manual as it casts Sony phones in a POSITIVE light. Seems Juan Bagnels, T Bay etc are the ONLY ONES that know how to review phones properly. TO FULLY review a phone you musty test in auto AND MANUAL. Thank you

I love the way the galaxy s23 ultra takes the lead ❤ in most cases

[DarkstalkerZero]

Please do some more Xperia 1 V videos! I'm seriously considering the phone and its been hard to cross shop with being fully informed.

I have both iPhone 14 pro and s23 ultra but I think samsung this year is the best, love s23 ultra

[marasion]

I wonder if the proper "Auto" mode was used on the Xperia or just the "Basic" Mode ...
And if the Video Pro App was taken into consideration or if the video footage was taken in the Photo Pro's "Basic " Mode ...

[khanhnhatlu]

I'm wondering what is the difference between Dolby Vison on ip and HDR10+ on Samsung?

[theidiotgamer]

Having both 14 pro max and s23 ultra i can confirm that in many photos you have choose the ones that are better on iphone, because on 90% of shots samsung is completely better... Only in video iphone is better and that not always. And well stabilizer on videos after last samsung updates is better than iphone!!! Maybe you need to upgrade your s23 ultra.

[GRZYMKOWSKIoMotoryzacji]

Thanks for the video even if I completely disagree with the conclusion. Sony footage is the only one in this comparasion witch looks like from the real camera. Footage from Samsung and iPhone looks...just like from phones overall. + 4K 120 fps in all 3 cameras which is a killer feature. +S-Cinetone which is great for daily videos. +Camera Application which changes everything. Sony is the KING 😁

[theSFCchannel]

wrong; in video sony 1 V DOES have ultra satabilisation mode but you only get it when you set it to 30fps as standard stability is at 60fps only. Please retest this section.

Wow! Congratulations to Sony as it has overcome my biggest issue with Sony: the lack of low-light dynamic in bright daylight!
Samsung has indoor the best color-balance, Apple has the best indoor-exposure, Sony has also its situations when it shines (face).
All are good. The differences in pixel-peeping can be corrected in all phones just by using some sliders.
As I've been saying for more than a year now: there are no bad camera-phones anymore, all major brands are really good!
Beeing a S22 Ultra user I'm waiting for the S24 Ultra. 😉

And how about iphone reflections green dots at low light

We would love to see comparison between cinematic mode and portrait video mode on androids.
