1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,839
for a company that has innovated so much in mobile phones

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:09,120
sony really doesn't get a lot of appreciation they were the first with a

3
00:00:07,839 --> 00:00:14,480
waterproof phone they were the first with a phone with a 4k display

4
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:18,400
and now they seem to be basically the only premium phone maker left that is

5
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:21,439
still delivering features that i mean used to be ubiquitous on Android

6
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:24,720
phones things like expandable storage headphone jacks and

7
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:29,599
of course the latest and greatest processors so this is the xperia one three and it's a

8
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:35,040
phone that i'm really really excited to show you guys first the obligatory unboxing though

9
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:38,320
we've got our hopefully it's a 30 watt adapter because

10
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:41,600
it does support 30 watt charging it is a 30 watt fast

11
00:00:40,719 --> 00:00:48,160
charging adapter very nice it includes a usbc cable

12
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:49,840
okay and wow that's

13
00:00:48,160 --> 00:00:54,559
that's it ladies and gentlemen not much of an unboxing but that's okay

14
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:58,239
today is all about the phone it's got a six and a half inch display but

15
00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:01,440
remember when sony made those mini phones that had flagship class specs but

16
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:04,960
were still very one-hand handleable even with my small

17
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:09,040
hands because it's so skinny it's actually got a 21x9

18
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,960
aspect ratio it is pretty easy to reach across we'll

19
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:16,320
take a look at the outside first though so it's got a quad camera system

20
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:20,560
three of them are megapixels so that's the wide the ultrawide and the telephoto

21
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:24,080
and then it has a 0.3 megapixel time of flight sensor in here as well

22
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:27,119
it's got nfc obviously you got the logo on the back it has wireless charging

23
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:30,720
fast wireless charging as well as reverse wireless charging so if you have

24
00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:34,320
some sony earphones like those ones we unboxed recently you can

25
00:01:32,159 --> 00:01:38,960
charge them up with your phone and then this is

26
00:01:35,759 --> 00:01:38,960
really important check this out

27
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:45,840
right there totally tool-less either dual sim

28
00:01:42,799 --> 00:01:47,840
or microsd tray that's right you've got

29
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:50,560
a 4 500 milliamp hour battery built in so it turns out you can still put a big

30
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:56,799
battery in a slim phone design and have expandable storage and yes

31
00:01:54,880 --> 00:02:00,719
headphone jack it's gone back to the traditional top mounted location instead

32
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:04,240
of the bottom that became more popular towards the end of the headphone jack

33
00:02:02,159 --> 00:02:08,000
era but hey i'll take it right over on the other

34
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:11,200
side we've got far more hardware buttons than i'm used to seeing on modern

35
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:14,160
devices we've got our volume rocker as well as our lock button which doubles as

36
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:18,480
a fingerprint sensor nice as well as a dedicated button for

37
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:23,440
pulling up google assistant there you go and a dedicated button

38
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:28,720
that's right for pulling up your camera it's almost like sony has

39
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:29,280
a rich heritage as a as an imaging

40
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:34,480
company they're actually using zeiss optics for the cameras and apparently they worked

41
00:02:32,959 --> 00:02:39,040
with the same team that worked on the alpha 9 to develop the camera for this so i'm i

42
00:02:37,519 --> 00:02:46,080
mean that's not to say that you know every phone that was built in collaboration with a cinema camera team

43
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:48,000
was a success excuse me sorry

44
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:51,360
i had something terrible caught in my throat but

45
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:54,239
i've actually i cheated a little bit on this ShortCircuit i've actually been

46
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:57,920
playing with this thing a fair bit over the last couple of weeks and it's pretty it's

47
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:03,599
pretty good one of the things that really stands out about what sony's done here is

48
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:06,000
the depth of their camera app obviously you can get third-party camera apps if

49
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:10,480
you don't like just you know the one-click operation of

50
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:14,080
your stock camera app but this man with this i don't see why almost

51
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:17,280
anyone would want that everything is right at your thumb tip so

52
00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:23,440
you can adjust which camera you want to use adjust your zoom levels

53
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:26,239
all that good stuff they've got so there's there's so much depth to it so

54
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:31,680
you can change the ultra wide to prioritize either correcting for the distortion or

55
00:03:29,519 --> 00:03:34,799
overall image quality what's up brandon how's it going but then

56
00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:40,080
if you don't want that you just flip over to oh boy

57
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:41,200
here we go manual exposure shutter speed

58
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:45,519
priority now we are talking is that a camera app

59
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:49,920
or what brandon it's freaking awesome so you can play

60
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:52,959
around with whether you want autofocus on or off you can change your shooting

61
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:58,720
format so raw raw and jpeg jpeg for video they

62
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:02,239
actually worked with the venice team to create a more uh

63
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:05,599
flat cinematic shooting profile you can shoot in 24 FPS

64
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:09,360
they have put a ton of attention into this and the work really shows

65
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:12,959
and just because it's a 12 megapixel main shooter

66
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:16,079
don't underestimate it there's a lot more to life than megapixels

67
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:19,680
and shockingly it doesn't even have a super thick camera bump i just love that

68
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:23,840
there's a dedicated shutter button and a dedicated button for launching the camera because

69
00:04:21,759 --> 00:04:26,639
honestly not a photographer that's not my jam

70
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:29,120
for me it's more about capturing the moment so if this thing's in my pocket

71
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:35,600
i'm going on my way out of my pocket hold the button boom my camera app is launched i

72
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:38,800
am ready to go love that super responsive

73
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:42,160
i am extremely extremely happy with it you're not gonna have the same kind of

74
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:47,840
crazy zoom that you find on some other cameras okay yep that's fair enough but this is

75
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:50,720
more than enough for what most people would need i realized we made it this

76
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:56,320
far and i haven't even talked about specs yet oh wait i got to do my sponsor spot this video is brought to you by

77
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:59,600
volta the volta 2.0 cable is a single reliable cable for all your usb devices

78
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:05,039
it supports charging and data transfer on a wide range of devices it's magnetic

79
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:07,840
and snag resistant and comes with a 30 day money back guarantee

80
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:12,479
and lifetime warranty you can check it out at the link in the video description

81
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:17,759
it's got a snapdragon 888 soc 12 gigs of RAM and then 256 or 512 gigs of storage

82
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:22,479
and i want to talk a little bit more about the display it's an OLED display

83
00:05:19,919 --> 00:05:27,520
and the horizontal resolution here is actually 3840 so it's a

84
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:28,400
4k class display but obviously given

85
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:32,000
that it's only 1600 megapixels wide the the overall

86
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:35,919
pixel count is quite a bit lower it's OLED so you're

87
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:38,960
going to get nice fast response times perfect blacks all that good stuff

88
00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:42,160
that's great for just uh gaming and well pretty much

89
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:46,400
everything and it can do up to 120 hertz obviously if

90
00:05:45,199 --> 00:05:51,919
we're going to talk about the display we need to fire up some movies how to train your dragon hidden world looks

91
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:54,639
absolutely freaking awesome right out of the box but

92
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:58,960
one of the things i like most about this phone actually

93
00:05:55,759 --> 00:06:00,319
is how incredibly configurable it is

94
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:05,120
they've got what is basically the equivalent of filmmaker mode

95
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:08,319
built into the phone i love it everyone should just do this

96
00:06:06,319 --> 00:06:12,400
so stuff looks like it's supposed to it looks so good

97
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:14,800
oh yeah did i mention there's no notch right

98
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:21,280
well they just put a little bezel on it who cares and it's not like they aren't

99
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:24,000
making good use of it because

100
00:06:21,280 --> 00:06:30,560
it has an amplified earpiece for stereo audio

101
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:35,759
not bad this is the kind of device that just makes me feel

102
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:39,919
happy you know which isn't to say that it's absolutely perfect i did find that

103
00:06:37,840 --> 00:06:42,880
the very narrow screen i mean it's hard to come up with

104
00:06:41,039 --> 00:06:46,720
something where it you know made something way worse but there were just little things

105
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:51,759
like for example in the multi-window switching thing i can't even tell what this is like i don't even

106
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:55,759
i don't even know what these Windows next to me are it would be nice if i could

107
00:06:53,759 --> 00:06:58,560
kind of see a little bit more oh this is something that's just a totally personal

108
00:06:57,599 --> 00:07:03,120
pet peeve but for whatever reason sony doesn't allow you to switch the location of the back

109
00:07:02,479 --> 00:07:08,560
and multitask view button i like my back button here where it's easier to reach

110
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:11,840
because i use it a lot more they just don't have that option in spite of how

111
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:15,120
configurable it is in other ways like they do have battery management features

112
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:19,599
built in that allow you to take care of your battery so you can set custom times for when you leave it to

113
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:22,720
charge you can tell it to have a charging limit so that you're not fully

114
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:27,919
charging it all the time which is really stressful on the battery like it's freaking awesome and this is really cool

115
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:32,160
sony provides a lot of documentation that is built right into

116
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:35,680
the phone as you are using it that is not something that you can take for

117
00:07:33,599 --> 00:07:38,639
granted they actually explain what all of this does explain battery

118
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:42,560
charging curves and stuff like that they're not treating you like a child

119
00:07:40,479 --> 00:07:46,080
they're just trying to educate you as an adult that just might not know these

120
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:49,199
things but sony expects their customers to care about them in return because

121
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:55,039
this phone is going to run you a whopping 1299 us dollars

122
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:57,599
i mean there's even more cool stuff like they have an equivalent of shadow play

123
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:03,520
for gamers so you can actually go back and play back the last uh few seconds of play i

124
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:07,199
think it's 30 seconds beside the 30 or 60 seconds i didn't use it much i'm not

125
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:11,440
a mobile gamer but like it kind of never ends uh victus glass on

126
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:15,199
the front gorilla glass 6 on the back i could talk about a fair few more things

127
00:08:13,199 --> 00:08:18,639
uh there's this cool side sense thing so you can quick launch apps you can open

128
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:22,720
up multi window because the display is so tall you can actually do two apps top and

129
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:26,879
bottom so if you like to you know watch youtube videos while you're browsing reddit or

130
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:30,800
whatever that's something you could do it's actually a

131
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:35,039
pretty good use case for the tall screen but that's about it for the scope of

132
00:08:32,479 --> 00:08:40,719
ShortCircuit unboxing so thank you guys very much for watching and subscribe and

133
00:08:37,039 --> 00:08:40,719
all that good stuff
