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.
Why Xperia 1 V take on the yellow color of his shirt so low saturation, is there a way to change, my favorite color is yellow and I like to have my yellow color accurate as in real life! 💛 It suppose to be brighter in real life right? I prefer iOS as tool plus I want to get Apple Watch Ultra too, but I prefer more natural looking photo and video and I think Xperia is the one that can provide, do you think it is wprth to change and use Xperia 1 V as main phone or better get a camera like Sony A7C / C ii with 20 - 70 mm F4, but phone will always be easier and more often to carry, what do you think? For iPhone, I won't get the Pro tho because I love Yellow color and I will get the iPhone 14 6.1' Yellow, but I not sure should I wait and see if iPhone 15 has Yellow color too! Xperia 1 V focus and market more on camera but is still not over the top in picture quality, highlight still blown out, dynamic range still can't beat computational photography, only if theyable t add more OP while still retain their natural looking image quality, try use hsrdware more than software to achieve and improve their image quality but they only add new main camera hardware and no hardware improvement to ultra wide and tele photo, seem missed change or they want to retain them for Xperia 1 VI or else it will be less selling point for the next model, do Sony ever improve the camera quality with software like Samsung after the phone been released for sometime?
Can you trade your old xperia for xperia 1 iii? 🙂☠️
I think more budget will be needed to catch up to samsung's innovation but, if Sony really wanted to be the best phone with best camera well I think that's the proper road to take. Take into consideration also the personality of every user such as me i won't be really needing macro because I like shooting breath taking shots and I like the natural colors i get with Sony. As for the video I'm not really the video so what ever I have is a pass. Samsung's fine Apple's fine but in the end it's personal preference.
can the sony's camera do well in every situation including low-light, nature and more? if not we can try find some secret API where we just stab apple's or google's AI into the sony camera with some rooting, tweaking and forking
You need better glasses Sony have the best image natural image not a digital image like others.
So you just completely leave out manual mode ?
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!
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.
I'm wondering what is the difference between Dolby Vison on ip and HDR10+ on Samsung?
Please,help.What is the exact name of your equipment, this holder for 2 or 3 mobile phones? I can't find it on Amazon🥺.

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.
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 ...
Interesting that reviews tend to talk about which looks best as opposed to which is most realistic and life like
Right! I mean sure, it is an artistic choice, and the consumer might not care, but sonys aim is very different, and they should take that into consideration.
I guess it depends what you value in a camera. I would say a better looking image is gunna be preferable 99% of the time as opposed to a more accurate/realistic image...
Screen obsessed copiers is what we are producing rather than original artists. Hence my comment
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.
Great phone for manual camera, point and shoot is still behind
Point and shoot (aka automatic) mode sucks, video quality not good enough, selfie camera sucks, zoom camera sucks, night shots are subpar from all cameras, but most importantly, there are 2 different Sony camera apps preinstalled with different quality photos and videos!!! It DOES need manual adjustments to take the best photo. Also, still overheating problems and short software support. I considered it too because of the MicroSD expansion, but I would (and will) stay away from this half-a**ed phone.
@@gentle285lol isheep 😂😂
And how about iphone reflections green dots at low light
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.
Main thing is to make it more general user friendly
Bro you actually have no idea. Do you own an Xperia V? Sony is the best camera maker in the world. Where do you think the sensors are from? Does Apple have a DSLR or Mirrorless line? Does Samsung make the best cinema cameras in the world? No and no, but Sony does.
@@DNGR369 dude everyone knows how good it is, but try to understand what he is trying to say, if ur a general user and not professional, its gonna be hard for u to operate this, but for professional photographers it is the best camera phone out there today
Learn to use it we don't want point and shoot that's betraying photography and videography
@@Lolllllllllllllllllllzzzzzzzzz The problem is that there is no other phone other than Sony oriented to professional work. I just want a professional oriented phone, because I have it all the time with me, with as less as possible internal processing of the image. They are so many times where the mirrorless camera is just too heavy or not accessible to have with you. With Sony phone I can do some of the things that I can do with a camera, and with the others I feel that I'm limited in what I can do.
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 😁
Which one would you recommend to take Galatasaray's championship pictures in May?
I highly doubt you actually used Video Pro on the Sony for the comparisons, must've used Video in 'Basic' mode which doesn't really have HDR
Always in xperia my altenative to camera. When i walk around without my camera i use my phone and still am in the market as a compitator.
We would love to see comparison between cinematic mode and portrait video mode on androids.
I can't seem to get this 1V to take low light videos. Any help? My Samsungs were always so freakin good in low light
Why are you still using a photo of the s22ultra on the point screen?
I have both iPhone 14 pro and s23 ultra but I think samsung this year is the best , love s23 ultra
You have non brother 😂😂😂
Hey Versus. I have saw both on iPhone and Sony there is a HDR problem. On iPhones you can go to the settings and turn off Auto HDR, which means on the camera app, you will have a HDR button like RAW. By turning it on from the camera app you can make it look better. Think Sony has the same stuff 👍
Since we're also reviewing how well the software works, it's better for us to leave Auto HDR on. This way, it's a fair comparison between all phones on which one manages the best point-and-click photos.
@@Versusdotcom Got it
@@Versusdotcom Fair only when it benefits iphones? You should've been fair in your rating system, giving +2 to iphone even when the photos have a blue tint. Stop saying you're fair when you clearly favor iphones.
@@Versusdotcom Sony's HDR is off by default, you need to turn it on in the camera settings. You should use Video Pro to shoot videos, since Photo Pro videos aren't that great.
@@Versusdotcom Sony doesnt have Auto HDR so its a bit biased.
The 4k 120 fps slow mo is absolutely beautiful oj the sony
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
the power of sony comes in manual... but its good they keep it that way ... :D
I hope you add test pics and videos in very dark lighting
Xperia V blows the other 2 away in full manual mode
But Users never use pro mode😅they dont know how working😅 But. vivo x100Pro also a good choice. Morning come Out New Sony. 🎉
Thnks for this VIDEO ❤🎉
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.
Which mobile phone is he using at 8:21? Is it a google phone?
I have litte confusion that, which phone's overall camera is better between Huawei P60 pro vs Honor magic 5 pro?
They are both very good, but the P60 Pro has some advantages if you like to play around with camera settings.

S23 ultra ftw. Fellow s23u owners comment down what's the best thing you like about it (apart from the facts it's not an iphone?)
The screen, the look, the cameras, the spen. I just love my phone. I had the 22u which I loved as well and the note 20u. But hey Samsung killed it this year
Oh and the zoom lense
@@Mob3tta_01 I bought an iphone 13 to replace my old xiaomi k20 pro after I got a job, ios was so restrictive I sold it off in 7 momths, saved up amd bought the 23 ultra.

SONY King of Natural...
Its looks trash compared the others.
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. 😉
Bro get an english class or something smh

No os comáis la cabeza. Si queréis lo mejor en fotografía y vídeo, compraros un Píxel. Es el Rey de la fotografía. Y en vídeo ya, está casi a la misma altura de un iPhone.
does it still overheat?
@@metroaide0224S22 Ultra, yeah a bit, but people is overly exegrating it, cause trust me, it's not a problem. As for 23 Ultra, all the issue has been resolved, easily the best smart phone we have in 2023, no one came close. Now Sony, well Sony is an awesome device! You get the specs of a 500 to 800 dollar phone with twice the price, now all Sony need is people who actually buy and support their product, cause so far, they are dying in the phone industry. Absolute 0 revenue so far... But I like the fake hype, so let's ride the fake hype train.
How about to the pixel 7 pro is not in the list.
Nice review! Not biased at all!
best comparison video really ❤
Glad you think so!
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.
It's incredible how biased this guy is towards the iPhone
IPhone 14 is just as consistent pal, s23 is slightly better yes, they're not 5 gens apart yk. These days most flagshios are equal in these, from 2021-2023 still pretty close and on par.
@@valiantwarrior1988 Yes of course both choices are really really good. But if you need s-pen and 10x optical s23 ultra is the only way to go. Especially now that Europeans get snapdragon version too!
@@RagingBad I really really love iphones! But this generation of samsung is overall better especially for Europeans! Finally we get snapdragon version of s series...
No actually bc samsung won most of the photos
I seen hdr hlg from SONY 1 V and i saw low light .I am amazed
sony winning portrait and videos with +3 despite the highlights are alllllllll blown out
I disagree with you about the HDR. Would your camera perfectly expose those high contrast lighting conditions? No.
markaları üste koysan iyi olur. Altyazıları okuyamıyoruz
As a sony user Sony never walks with the crowd and thats just Sony.
This video makes me feel like you don't actually understand the way that Sony has built these apps. It's not supposed to be a point and shoot in anything, you have to manually adjust in order to bring out the look that you were refrencing in all of these examples. You were essentially comparing the normal HDR look of Apple and Samsung vs literally the worst looking a Sony photo can look. If you know how to use their mirrorless cameras I think you'll find that the superior lenses on the Xperia 1 V blow both of these phones out of the water. Of course in order to do that you'd need to know how to use the phone lol
Is this the expert RAW on the galaxy?
S23 ultra is the best overall phone ever 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Sony needs to step up their game. I enjoy playing with the camera apps on my 1 V though :)
Own 14pm,but must accept it..Let The fact and data talk..nice vid..salute your effort man..👍👍👍
What i know about sony's product is. They produce natural image for editor to edit to what they likes. So editors much likely select sony as their camera. But if you want instant image that ready to be uploaded select apple or other brands.
Wow love it. Thank you so much #Ugreen for sponsoring this video ♥ #UgreenaNexode #VERSUS.
fenerbahce formasi???
On digital monitor any picture looks good ,it'll be nice to print it on film (real world)
The S24 ultra has a super stability mode, i find it hard to believe the other 2 could beat that, ive tried it and it was almost like using a gimbal! The 8k video of the s24 was also a run away win. Can't believe the audio was so bad though, compared to the other 2 that is. My personal preference for most of the photos was the sony taking the win, even the low light photos that where deemed "unusable" in this video had a character to them, Sony almost looks like film roll pictures wich i think is nice, with a de-digitalized feel to them. I guess all these phones are beat suited to different things. I personally need the best video i can get, but most people just take photos, and edgey creative photos arent everyones thing. So i would say Iphone takes the majority win in that case. Im either gunna getvthe ultra or wait and see what the pixel 9 pro is wirking with. Absolutely brilliant video, super helpful comparison ❤
Samsung galaxy Supermacy 🗿
Sony is build for pro photographers. Those who knows how to set the cameras well enjoys it and can testify it's better in quality graphic than iphone and Samsung. I have watched many of thos comparisons and sony beat them both only its required a well good settings. And its only experts can set it that way.

Definitely, the UW was blurry overall.
You’re “proud” of your cell phone? Well alrighty then.. S23 Ultra owner here also. Great device

Sony to Versus : You don't let me live, you don't let me die..! 😂
The audio quality of this video is just outstanding.
Xperia 1V is too expansive, maybe I going to get the pro-i instead because the price is dropped a lot. I want to know is the pro-i overheat like the Xperia 1iii? Current price in my country Xperia pro-i $3999 Xperia 1V $5699
Hey versus, can you add vape/E-Cigarette and e-juice/liquid comparison to your website?
I liked this side by side comparison
..almost as if we're just nerding to nitpicking. Except for the ip's better video and the s23's zoom, they're all fine and shoots very similar. For perspective, competing professional cameras and lenses have more drastic differences but photogs still stick to their preferred brands and produce professional grade images. It's less the cam and more the user.
Watching from my s23u 😊❤
I've been really impressed with my Galaxy S23 Ultra coming from a Galaxy S9+. Great investment.
You should have shown the pics first before putting which phone it came from. So unbiased choice from the start then reveal it after few secs. Darn.
Sony is meant to be used by photographers' enthusiasts. In other words, it is met to be used full manual. Is like buying a $5k dslr and using full auto. Yes, it takes decent photos, but it does not take $5k
Is it just me or is the face wayyyy more warm in tone than the rest of the shot on the Xperia?
interesting video, thx, i already got the xperia 1 v, but was curios how it compared to other cameras and I'm pleased to see that's just slightly worse overall and not WORSE as it was in the past
Sarcastic mode "on". 😂
If you bought this phone, I don't think you should shoot only in auto. If you take time with taking photos in pro mode and editing it, it's going to end up much better
precisely, dont buy sony if you only use auto... go for samsunga and iphone lmao
Good comparison. Where did you get your Fenerbahçe t-shirt? And why Fenerbahce😂
I'm Turkish haha. 😂

In my shalow concept, sony photos in generally are looking less foggy maybe because the ia processing both noise reduction and shadow on Xperia is poorly compared to sansumg and apple, maybe my cheap 4k monitor doesn't have a good color accuracy. excellent video.
The Xperia 1V also wins at RAW shooting (best of them in daylight and indoors). Lowlight, their software is not stable at all... If they were upgrading their software, they were leading now on all aspects. Shame they don't listen to their most die hard fans and their testing. Please let them know for mk4 and mk5 there are things to improve for its 1500+... Thank you! PS: They were having devices that were amazing for front camera (XA ultra models).

I was a bit shocked to see these results as every other reviewer have praised a Sony Xperia 1V, and the 5V with the same main camera sensor, over the iPhone 14 Pro. I don't own any of them, but this raises the question how objective these reviews are. One might think that this reviewer took the worst Sony shots to spark conversations in the comments section to get this video higher up in the algorithm. Or others have cherry picked the best shots to prove their point. 🤔
Didn't the sony have two levels of stabilization? Ive seen it in almost every reviews.
Yes it did, but we used the maximum one. Even that wasn't good enough. I'd say it's much better to use this phone while remaining stable.
@@Versusdotcom I Think you arent telling the WHOLE truth and i can prove it as on my 1 iii WITH NO GIMBAL i managed to get very stable video shoots-albEIT just walking and not running. But to counter that caveat I was on the 2021'S 1 mark 3
I feel like Sony VS Samsung/Iphone photos is a preference choice between reality or social media reality. I really just want a S23 Ultra with a SD-card and headphone jack.
Plz make a hands on comparison between sony xperia 1 V 512GB vs google pixel 8 pro 512GB vs samsung s23 ultra 512GB in terms of performance, battery drain test, camera comparison, easy of use, features comparison, difference in charging speed, heating while gaming and other features.
I'm saving up to switch to xperia just because I use sony mirrorless and to be honest it has been a habit of mine not to post a photo that hasn't been retouched.
No doubt, I like their mirrorless cameras.
Yeah me too
iPhone 15 Pro Max will use the same one as the Sony
The biggest dis-service you did here is use the auto mode. Sony's entire marketing for this phone is the cinima manual mode
First night shoot, iPhone removed completely shadows from your face and almost all shadows from the left side, Samsung and Sony did much better, but you said in video that left and right are better than the middle picture, I prefer more middle and right than the left one which is iPhone.
S23 Ultra performs really well.
S23 Ultra 🔥 No matter how hard these reviewers push the other brands looool
The iphone is a year old, will be nice to see what iphone 15 2023 got.
Sony camera quality is worse than Xiaomi. I did not expect that. 😐 Galaxy S23 Ulta 🔥🔥
Can confidently confirm I shoot better photos with my Xperia 1 V on Manual than any of my friends with iPhones, Samsungs, etc. I'll be honest though - not the same case when shooting in auto. I rarely use it but when I do, 100% of the time I'm taking snap shots and those are times when you really wish the auto was better.
all iphone 14pro owners will be happy (I have one) in fact this is the only review on youtube where you manage to win in comparison with Sony 😂
