WEBVTT

00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:05.839
for a company that has innovated so much in mobile phones

00:00:03.840 --> 00:00:09.120
sony really doesn't get a lot of appreciation they were the first with a

00:00:07.839 --> 00:00:14.480
waterproof phone they were the first with a phone with a 4k display

00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:18.400
and now they seem to be basically the only premium phone maker left that is

00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:21.439
still delivering features that i mean used to be ubiquitous on Android

00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:24.720
phones things like expandable storage headphone jacks and

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

00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:35.040
phone that i'm really really excited to show you guys first the obligatory unboxing though

00:00:33.440 --> 00:00:38.320
we've got our hopefully it's a 30 watt adapter because

00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:41.600
it does support 30 watt charging it is a 30 watt fast

00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:48.160
charging adapter very nice it includes a usbc cable

00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:49.840
okay and wow that's

00:00:48.160 --> 00:00:54.559
that's it ladies and gentlemen not much of an unboxing but that's okay

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

00:00:56.320 --> 00:01:01.440
remember when sony made those mini phones that had flagship class specs but

00:01:00.480 --> 00:01:04.960
were still very one-hand handleable even with my small

00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:09.040
hands because it's so skinny it's actually got a 21x9

00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:12.960
aspect ratio it is pretty easy to reach across we'll

00:01:11.520 --> 00:01:16.320
take a look at the outside first though so it's got a quad camera system

00:01:14.880 --> 00:01:20.560
three of them are megapixels so that's the wide the ultrawide and the telephoto

00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:24.080
and then it has a 0.3 megapixel time of flight sensor in here as well

00:01:22.080 --> 00:01:27.119
it's got nfc obviously you got the logo on the back it has wireless charging

00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:30.720
fast wireless charging as well as reverse wireless charging so if you have

00:01:28.960 --> 00:01:34.320
some sony earphones like those ones we unboxed recently you can

00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:38.960
charge them up with your phone and then this is

00:01:35.759 --> 00:01:38.960
really important check this out

00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:45.840
right there totally tool-less either dual sim

00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:47.840
or microsd tray that's right you've got

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

00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:56.799
battery in a slim phone design and have expandable storage and yes

00:01:54.880 --> 00:02:00.719
headphone jack it's gone back to the traditional top mounted location instead

00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:04.240
of the bottom that became more popular towards the end of the headphone jack

00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:08.000
era but hey i'll take it right over on the other

00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:11.200
side we've got far more hardware buttons than i'm used to seeing on modern

00:02:09.200 --> 00:02:14.160
devices we've got our volume rocker as well as our lock button which doubles as

00:02:13.040 --> 00:02:18.480
a fingerprint sensor nice as well as a dedicated button for

00:02:16.720 --> 00:02:23.440
pulling up google assistant there you go and a dedicated button

00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:28.720
that's right for pulling up your camera it's almost like sony has

00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:29.280
a rich heritage as a as an imaging

00:02:28.720 --> 00:02:34.480
company they're actually using zeiss optics for the cameras and apparently they worked

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

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

00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:48.000
was a success excuse me sorry

00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:51.360
i had something terrible caught in my throat but

00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:54.239
i've actually i cheated a little bit on this ShortCircuit i've actually been

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

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

00:03:01.200 --> 00:03:06.000
the depth of their camera app obviously you can get third-party camera apps if

00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:10.480
you don't like just you know the one-click operation of

00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:14.080
your stock camera app but this man with this i don't see why almost

00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:17.280
anyone would want that everything is right at your thumb tip so

00:03:16.640 --> 00:03:23.440
you can adjust which camera you want to use adjust your zoom levels

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

00:03:25.200 --> 00:03:31.680
you can change the ultra wide to prioritize either correcting for the distortion or

00:03:29.519 --> 00:03:34.799
overall image quality what's up brandon how's it going but then

00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:40.080
if you don't want that you just flip over to oh boy

00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:41.200
here we go manual exposure shutter speed

00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:45.519
priority now we are talking is that a camera app

00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:49.920
or what brandon it's freaking awesome so you can play

00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:52.959
around with whether you want autofocus on or off you can change your shooting

00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:58.720
format so raw raw and jpeg jpeg for video they

00:03:56.640 --> 00:04:02.239
actually worked with the venice team to create a more uh

00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:05.599
flat cinematic shooting profile you can shoot in 24 FPS

00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:09.360
they have put a ton of attention into this and the work really shows

00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:12.959
and just because it's a 12 megapixel main shooter

00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:16.079
don't underestimate it there's a lot more to life than megapixels

00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:19.680
and shockingly it doesn't even have a super thick camera bump i just love that

00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:23.840
there's a dedicated shutter button and a dedicated button for launching the camera because

00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:26.639
honestly not a photographer that's not my jam

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

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

00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:38.800
am ready to go love that super responsive

00:04:36.400 --> 00:04:42.160
i am extremely extremely happy with it you're not gonna have the same kind of

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

00:04:46.400 --> 00:04:50.720
more than enough for what most people would need i realized we made it this

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

00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:59.600
volta the volta 2.0 cable is a single reliable cable for all your usb devices

00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:05.039
it supports charging and data transfer on a wide range of devices it's magnetic

00:05:02.960 --> 00:05:07.840
and snag resistant and comes with a 30 day money back guarantee

00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:12.479
and lifetime warranty you can check it out at the link in the video description

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

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

00:05:19.919 --> 00:05:27.520
and the horizontal resolution here is actually 3840 so it's a

00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:28.400
4k class display but obviously given

00:05:27.520 --> 00:05:32.000
that it's only 1600 megapixels wide the the overall

00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:35.919
pixel count is quite a bit lower it's OLED so you're

00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:38.960
going to get nice fast response times perfect blacks all that good stuff

00:05:37.840 --> 00:05:42.160
that's great for just uh gaming and well pretty much

00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:46.400
everything and it can do up to 120 hertz obviously if

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

00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:54.639
absolutely freaking awesome right out of the box but

00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:58.960
one of the things i like most about this phone actually

00:05:55.759 --> 00:06:00.319
is how incredibly configurable it is

00:05:58.960 --> 00:06:05.120
they've got what is basically the equivalent of filmmaker mode

00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:08.319
built into the phone i love it everyone should just do this

00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:12.400
so stuff looks like it's supposed to it looks so good

00:06:09.440 --> 00:06:14.800
oh yeah did i mention there's no notch right

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

00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:24.000
making good use of it because

00:06:21.280 --> 00:06:30.560
it has an amplified earpiece for stereo audio

00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:35.759
not bad this is the kind of device that just makes me feel

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

00:06:37.840 --> 00:06:42.880
the very narrow screen i mean it's hard to come up with

00:06:41.039 --> 00:06:46.720
something where it you know made something way worse but there were just little things

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

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

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

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

00:07:02.479 --> 00:07:08.560
and multitask view button i like my back button here where it's easier to reach

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

00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:15.120
configurable it is in other ways like they do have battery management features

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

00:07:18.080 --> 00:07:22.720
charge you can tell it to have a charging limit so that you're not fully

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

00:07:26.400 --> 00:07:32.160
sony provides a lot of documentation that is built right into

00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:35.680
the phone as you are using it that is not something that you can take for

00:07:33.599 --> 00:07:38.639
granted they actually explain what all of this does explain battery

00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:42.560
charging curves and stuff like that they're not treating you like a child

00:07:40.479 --> 00:07:46.080
they're just trying to educate you as an adult that just might not know these

00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:49.199
things but sony expects their customers to care about them in return because

00:07:47.840 --> 00:07:55.039
this phone is going to run you a whopping 1299 us dollars

00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:57.599
i mean there's even more cool stuff like they have an equivalent of shadow play

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

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

00:08:05.280 --> 00:08:11.440
a mobile gamer but like it kind of never ends uh victus glass on

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

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

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

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

00:08:25.840 --> 00:08:30.800
whatever that's something you could do it's actually a

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

00:08:32.479 --> 00:08:40.719
ShortCircuit unboxing so thank you guys very much for watching and subscribe and

00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:40.719
all that good stuff
