1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,080
- Guys that is so awesome. Oh man, I love this thing.

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,520
Guys, I am so excited because what I have in front of me

3
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:11,470
is what I hope to be the future of all smartphones going forward.

4
00:00:11,470 --> 00:00:16,230
In front of me is the Xperia Pro-I. And for those of you who have been paying attention

5
00:00:16,230 --> 00:00:19,772
Lan listed as ShortCircuit on the Xperia 1 Mark III

6
00:00:19,772 --> 00:00:24,470
about three or four months ago. And that phone is really similar to this one

7
00:00:24,470 --> 00:00:27,790
with one key distinction,

8
00:00:27,790 --> 00:00:30,990
the pro I name. And why is it called the pro I?

9
00:00:30,990 --> 00:00:36,120
Well the I stands for imaging, which is why I'm here about to unbox this

10
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:40,420
because this phone is Sony's first phone

11
00:00:40,420 --> 00:00:45,453
and one of the first phones in the world, with a one-inch sensor.

12
00:00:47,130 --> 00:00:51,730
Yes. This phone behind this camera bump,

13
00:00:51,730 --> 00:00:55,120
is a one inch sensor. I,

14
00:00:55,120 --> 00:01:02,470
I can't even describe to you when I first read the article rumoring this phone,

15
00:01:02,470 --> 00:01:08,260
saying that they had put a one-inch sensor and from the RX100 Mark VII no less,

16
00:01:08,260 --> 00:01:12,420
the same sensor in the RX100 Mark VII, is in this phone.

17
00:01:12,420 --> 00:01:15,640
In a phone! So you might be asking, what is the one-inch sensor?

18
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,310
Brandon I have no idea what you're talking about. Why does this matter?

19
00:01:19,310 --> 00:01:22,620
Well, if you've ever watched a camera video, but even if you haven't,

20
00:01:22,620 --> 00:01:26,720
you'll probably understand that a larger sensor in a camera is generally better,

21
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:31,360
better low light, better dynamic range. There's lots of reasons that in terms of performance,

22
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,760
that it is better. So the fact that they took a one-inch sensor,

23
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:42,460
which is much larger than the typical smartphone sensor and put it into a phone that is also like,

24
00:01:42,460 --> 00:01:46,160
as thin as a flagship smartphone would be.

25
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,930
Guys this is a really big deal because nothing like this has really exist.

26
00:01:49,930 --> 00:01:53,290
Even the iPhone doesn't have a one inch sensor. Okay but before I get ahead of myself,

27
00:01:53,290 --> 00:01:58,620
let's look at the phone physically on the front, we've got a 6.5 inch old LED display.

28
00:01:58,620 --> 00:02:02,490
Love to see that. On the right we've got a volume rocker power button,

29
00:02:02,490 --> 00:02:06,730
which doubles as the fingerprint sensor and two shortcut buttons,

30
00:02:06,730 --> 00:02:10,530
one for the videography pro app,

31
00:02:10,530 --> 00:02:13,680
which has this fancy animation when it launches.

32
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:18,080
And then the camera, if you look really closely,

33
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:22,550
the Shutter button on the camera is actually knurled kind of like

34
00:02:22,550 --> 00:02:27,470
a Shutter button on other cameras just to give you that like tactile.

35
00:02:27,470 --> 00:02:31,590
Okay this is my Shutter button for my camera feel, also it makes it easy to know that

36
00:02:31,590 --> 00:02:35,393
that's the shortcut button that you're going to press for your camera. So you just have to hold it.

37
00:02:36,290 --> 00:02:40,090
Camera opens really quickly, and you're ready to go. On the left of the phone,

38
00:02:40,090 --> 00:02:44,160
we've got a tool-less SIM and micro SD card slot.

39
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,953
So you can run a micro SD expansion or dual SIM.

40
00:02:49,110 --> 00:02:53,960
Love to see that. And then there's a little islet for a like wrist strap

41
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:58,850
if you want to have that extra like security, just kind of like a pocket camera would be honestly.

42
00:02:58,850 --> 00:03:02,630
And the device itself feels very,

43
00:03:02,630 --> 00:03:08,540
very nice. Almost forgot on the top. We have a headphone jack love to see that

44
00:03:08,540 --> 00:03:11,073
because it is now becoming a feature.

45
00:03:12,690 --> 00:03:16,560
And then on the back of course, we got our three cameras, the 50 millimeter (telephoto),

46
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:20,150
which on our pre-production sample is unfortunately disabled,

47
00:03:20,150 --> 00:03:23,843
but that's okay. We've got two other cameras to try the 24 mil with

48
00:03:23,843 --> 00:03:27,550
a one-inch sensor and then a 16 millimeter wide.

49
00:03:27,550 --> 00:03:31,100
So that's three cameras on a phone that has a

50
00:03:31,100 --> 00:03:34,440
one-inch sensor. And it's still again the size,

51
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:38,270
the camera bumps not even that bad, like it's really not that,

52
00:03:38,270 --> 00:03:42,410
I have an iPhone here. And I'd say, let me take this case off.

53
00:03:42,410 --> 00:03:46,840
I'd say the bump on the iPhone might even be slightly more.

54
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,170
And then I also actually have a Pixel Six Pro here,

55
00:03:50,170 --> 00:03:52,933
the bump on the Pixel Six Pro.

56
00:03:55,270 --> 00:03:59,490
The bump on the Pixel Six Pro is a quite a bit more

57
00:03:59,490 --> 00:04:05,720
significant, a couple more things about the camera on this phone is the aperture is actually mechanical.

58
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:09,330
So you can go from F two to F four,

59
00:04:09,330 --> 00:04:13,330
there's a little like thin aperture blade thing in this

60
00:04:13,330 --> 00:04:16,600
camera. And it can actually change from one to the other,

61
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,040
which is again in this form factor

62
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,860
really cool because that gives you more control over your

63
00:04:23,860 --> 00:04:30,400
depth of field, which is typically something you can't really do on a smartphone or I'll say do it kind of with,

64
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:34,350
you know, computational photography. So Sony has made a couple of apps on here specifically

65
00:04:34,350 --> 00:04:40,940
for video and photo because this thing can also do 4k One 20 FPS,

66
00:04:41,090 --> 00:04:44,770
just like something bigger like the a,

67
00:04:44,770 --> 00:04:50,150
oh wait, this can't even do 4k One 20 FPS. One of their new apps is the videography pro,

68
00:04:50,150 --> 00:04:54,950
which is supposed to be, cause they also released the cinema pro on the other Xperia's that they've launched.

69
00:04:54,950 --> 00:04:58,170
But apparently they tried to simplify the process

70
00:04:58,170 --> 00:05:01,420
and make it a little bit easier to use for different users.

71
00:05:01,420 --> 00:05:05,530
And so let's take a look at the video pro app, but first we got to thank our sponsor Altium.

72
00:05:05,530 --> 00:05:09,650
Thanks to Altium for sponsoring today's video. Altium designer enables engineers to connect with every

73
00:05:09,650 --> 00:05:14,100
facet of the electronics design process. It's intuitive you can interact in a 3D environment

74
00:05:14,100 --> 00:05:17,820
and it features interactive routing. They've even got Altium 365,

75
00:05:17,820 --> 00:05:23,070
which allows multiple people to work on the same project at once. Get a free trial of Altium designer viewer

76
00:05:23,070 --> 00:05:28,210
for a limited time at the link below. When the device temperature becomes high,

77
00:05:28,210 --> 00:05:32,310
the following icon will be displayed. Do not hold the device directly in your hand while this icon

78
00:05:32,310 --> 00:05:35,483
is displayed, doing so may result in burns.

79
00:05:37,310 --> 00:05:41,180
Oh, I mean again, I guess that's understandable.

80
00:05:41,180 --> 00:05:45,010
It's a one inch sensor on a very thin phone

81
00:05:45,010 --> 00:05:50,230
cooling will probably be an issue, it's not active cooling as far as I know.

82
00:05:50,230 --> 00:05:53,400
So yeah, this thing's going to get hot and that's that. We'll see how this goes.

83
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:57,063
Let's see, we've got manual focus and auto focus. Whoa, So manual,

84
00:05:57,063 --> 00:05:57,993
Whoa.

85
00:06:00,270 --> 00:06:04,613
That's so cool. And then if you want to do wide,

86
00:06:05,570 --> 00:06:09,370
can you change the lens in this mode? Oh my, they might be locked on the 24.

87
00:06:09,370 --> 00:06:12,560
Oh, you can do tele or you can like zoom in

88
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:17,742
kind of like on a broadcast camera. It's got like that power zoom.

89
00:06:17,742 --> 00:06:21,490
Well no, I think this is digital zoom from Luxembourg.

90
00:06:21,490 --> 00:06:26,210
And then if you do auto off, you can just change your Shutter speed.

91
00:06:26,210 --> 00:06:29,533
Like a normal camera, Andy.

92
00:06:30,780 --> 00:06:32,323
Look at this.

93
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:39,770
And it's, it's a pretty easy simple view. You've got a giant record button here and then you just go,

94
00:06:39,770 --> 00:06:43,760
let me see if this videography pro button works. Oh that's so that still brings us to the mode.

95
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:48,450
So you have to hit the record button on the display okay. They probably intend you to use their grip

96
00:06:48,450 --> 00:06:51,480
because Sony actually is going to sell a vlogging kit

97
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:56,300
to go along with this phone. And it actually comes with a front facing monitor that you

98
00:06:56,300 --> 00:06:59,350
can connect to the, to the phone and a microphone on the top.

99
00:06:59,350 --> 00:07:03,180
And then it uses their Bluetooth tripod handle thing

100
00:07:03,180 --> 00:07:06,560
that I've shown in the past. And honestly, the vlogging kit.

101
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,493
Here's some images of it. Like it looks pretty cool.

102
00:07:11,210 --> 00:07:15,420
Jono just asked me how much this phone costs, because I've been nerding out about how awesome it is

103
00:07:15,420 --> 00:07:19,970
and all these features. Unfortunately it is not cheap.

104
00:07:19,970 --> 00:07:23,940
This phone goes for 1799USD.

105
00:07:23,940 --> 00:07:27,530
Guys think of the technology though. $1799,

106
00:07:27,530 --> 00:07:31,200
yes incredibly expensive. But you get so much for that.

107
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:36,510
You get a camera that is also a phone, but more camera than a phone to be honest.

108
00:07:36,510 --> 00:07:41,600
So in cinema pro I have ah, so I have frame rate here.

109
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:46,600
24 FPS or One 20 audio functions not available.

110
00:07:47,050 --> 00:07:51,250
That's fine. Okay. We're going to have to properly try that One 20 in a minute

111
00:07:51,250 --> 00:07:55,260
here. You've also got different looks.

112
00:07:55,260 --> 00:07:58,283
We've got Venice Color Science,

113
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,909
Bright or Pink, Warm, Strong. Whoa,

114
00:08:03,909 --> 00:08:07,393
These are drastic. They're also flat though. Oh,

115
00:08:07,393 --> 00:08:10,610
so you can use both lenses in the cinema pro app nice. Okay.

116
00:08:10,610 --> 00:08:18,360
Probably want to stick to the 2,400 white balance. You can set auto or custom and then if you hit for cord,

117
00:08:20,540 --> 00:08:24,500
it just goes in on your screen and then you can change

118
00:08:24,500 --> 00:08:27,760
your focus from here. Oh, you can like rock focus mid shot.

119
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,230
That's so cool. And then,

120
00:08:31,230 --> 00:08:35,750
oh, you can set. You can reset your A and B and then you can do Andy,

121
00:08:35,750 --> 00:08:38,763
this thing can do a one button focus poll for you.

122
00:08:40,730 --> 00:08:43,790
I'm pretty impressed with this app. It is very,

123
00:08:43,790 --> 00:08:47,040
very intuitive to use, especially if you've ever used a camera before,

124
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,760
like any of Sony's cameras. Okay, but before we start doing test clips,

125
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,553
I want to try one more thing. I want to try their photography. Full disclosure,

126
00:08:54,553 --> 00:08:58,480
I've actually been using this phone for about two days and I've tried the photography app a decent amount.

127
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:03,340
And it is again pretty good, on the right of the display.

128
00:09:03,340 --> 00:09:08,290
You've got all these controls that you'd want on a camera.

129
00:09:08,290 --> 00:09:11,490
This is like the, the quick settings in a Sony camera,

130
00:09:11,490 --> 00:09:15,870
but on the right of your display. And then you have a couple of different modes you've got basic,

131
00:09:15,870 --> 00:09:20,750
which is just what changes that. But if you, as soon as you go to auto gives you that

132
00:09:20,750 --> 00:09:25,640
like more camera alpha series view. And then of course you've got

133
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:30,130
program Shutter speed priority, manual and then memory recall.

134
00:09:30,130 --> 00:09:33,330
So once I go to manual I've got my Shutter speed here.

135
00:09:33,330 --> 00:09:36,810
My aperture is right here, two to four.

136
00:09:36,810 --> 00:09:41,440
See that, that's mechanical. So if you guys look really closely at this lens,

137
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:46,030
you can see the mechanical Shutter or the mechanical aperture in action.

138
00:09:46,030 --> 00:09:49,230
There's F two, here's four, there's F two,

139
00:09:49,230 --> 00:09:53,880
here's a four. F two, F four. Guys that is so awesome.

140
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,336
You can actually see it working. That is, oh man,

141
00:09:57,336 --> 00:10:00,540
I love this thing, but let's actually do some test shots.

142
00:10:00,540 --> 00:10:07,270
Let me grab a couple of things and we can try. I have a tiny scene here of these three Funko pops talking

143
00:10:07,270 --> 00:10:11,230
about how they're going to kill Lucky the dragon. Oh man,

144
00:10:11,230 --> 00:10:14,280
that actually again, I have to look at this on a computer,

145
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:18,780
but from the Ola display on this phone this it looks really good.

146
00:10:18,780 --> 00:10:23,540
Even just this focus feature, the fact that I can rack to Lucky

147
00:10:23,540 --> 00:10:26,823
and then rack to these guys as if I was using a real camera.

148
00:10:28,070 --> 00:10:32,620
Oh man, That is awesome. And yes, of course there are phones that give you manual focus

149
00:10:32,620 --> 00:10:38,780
adjustments and you can do them on all the smartphones, but on this phone it feels so natural as if it was like a

150
00:10:38,780 --> 00:10:44,530
real camera. And then you can look at the depth of field from here

151
00:10:44,530 --> 00:10:47,820
just to my background. Lucky's not even that far away. He's just on that part of the table,

152
00:10:47,820 --> 00:10:53,220
but he's very naturally and nicely out of focus in this clip.

153
00:10:53,220 --> 00:10:57,440
So that's the videography pro recording clip. I want to try this on the cinema pro.

154
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:01,980
Footage off of the cinema pro app is supposed to be processed in post color-wise,

155
00:11:01,980 --> 00:11:07,863
but just for comparison, I'm going to record a clip on this as well.

156
00:11:08,940 --> 00:11:13,090
You can see it's a much flatter profile.

157
00:11:13,090 --> 00:11:17,560
I just love how easy this is to rack focus.

158
00:11:17,560 --> 00:11:20,890
And it's so natural looking at least on the phone. I have to look at on another computer,

159
00:11:20,890 --> 00:11:25,370
but there's Andy back to our huddle.

160
00:11:25,370 --> 00:11:29,780
And then to Lucky, this is so easy.

161
00:11:29,780 --> 00:11:34,803
Okay. Here's just a quick and dirty test of the One 20 FPS.

162
00:11:42,890 --> 00:11:47,620
I keep getting thrown off with the Xperia, because the the Shutter button is a physical button,

163
00:11:47,620 --> 00:11:51,570
not just like a tap on the screen. Andy just asked if I could have pressing and get focused

164
00:11:51,570 --> 00:11:56,310
and yeah sure you bet I can, obviously I'm not going to be able to tell from the phone

165
00:11:56,310 --> 00:12:00,040
displays alone, but first impressions on the phone display

166
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:05,700
the Xperia looks pretty good, but then so does the iPhone and so does the Pixel,

167
00:12:05,700 --> 00:12:08,820
I'm gonna let you guys be the judge. Here's the three photos.

168
00:12:08,820 --> 00:12:11,830
Let me know what you think in the comments down below,

169
00:12:11,830 --> 00:12:15,850
but I'm not sure yet which one I think is the best.

170
00:12:15,850 --> 00:12:21,290
Just taking a quick look at the photos that we did of Lucky. The iPhone you can see did a pretty good job

171
00:12:21,290 --> 00:12:28,610
in terms of like detail and the lens doesn't look like it has a lot of fringing,

172
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,803
on the edges of Lucky here. And then on the Pixel,

173
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:37,100
we actually see a, quite a bit more fringing on the top of his head.

174
00:12:37,100 --> 00:12:41,970
It's present on the Xperia a little bit, but really not that bad.

175
00:12:41,970 --> 00:12:48,170
Funny aside, I actually got so excited about this phone, I forgot to look at what was in the rest of the box.

176
00:12:48,170 --> 00:12:55,600
So I'm going to reopen the box. We've got a Sony 30 watt charger and a Sony type C cable.

177
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:03,180
So I didn't miss much, honestly unfortunately, that is all the time we really have for this phone.

178
00:13:03,180 --> 00:13:07,060
If you want a deeper video, maybe comparing these three phones

179
00:13:07,060 --> 00:13:11,250
and a couple other's cameras, let me know in the comments down below,

180
00:13:11,250 --> 00:13:15,020
because I mean like, there's things we didn't even get to. We didn't even get to the fact that you can use this phone

181
00:13:15,020 --> 00:13:20,830
as a monitor. If you have something like an A74 or a Zed VE 10,

182
00:13:20,830 --> 00:13:24,503
which is super cool because it's like a 6.5 inch Olin monitor.

183
00:13:24,503 --> 00:13:28,240
And the last thing you guys might be asking is who is this phone for?

184
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,850
Because it's $1799.

185
00:13:31,850 --> 00:13:36,170
Well, it's for the type of person who already has a Sony camera

186
00:13:36,170 --> 00:13:41,170
and wants a phone that is almost as good or maybe better

187
00:13:41,890 --> 00:13:45,000
in certain scenarios as there are X series,

188
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:50,670
portable, compact travel camera. And instead of having like that separate travel camera,

189
00:13:50,670 --> 00:13:54,210
you can just have your phone and your professional camera with you at all times,

190
00:13:54,210 --> 00:13:57,893
instead of carrying two cameras for two different purposes. I got to say,

191
00:13:57,893 --> 00:14:01,310
I want one of these because it is super, super cool.

192
00:14:01,310 --> 00:14:05,340
Anyways thanks guys for watching. And please subscribe to ShortCircuit.
