WEBVTT

00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:04.080
- Guys that is so awesome. Oh man, I love this thing.

00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:07.520
Guys, I am so excited because what I have in front of me

00:00:07.520 --> 00:00:11.470
is what I hope to be the future of all smartphones going forward.

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

00:00:16.230 --> 00:00:19.772
Lan listed as ShortCircuit on the Xperia 1 Mark III

00:00:19.772 --> 00:00:24.470
about three or four months ago. And that phone is really similar to this one

00:00:24.470 --> 00:00:27.790
with one key distinction,

00:00:27.790 --> 00:00:30.990
the pro I name. And why is it called the pro I?

00:00:30.990 --> 00:00:36.120
Well the I stands for imaging, which is why I'm here about to unbox this

00:00:36.120 --> 00:00:40.420
because this phone is Sony's first phone

00:00:40.420 --> 00:00:45.453
and one of the first phones in the world, with a one-inch sensor.

00:00:47.130 --> 00:00:51.730
Yes. This phone behind this camera bump,

00:00:51.730 --> 00:00:55.120
is a one inch sensor. I,

00:00:55.120 --> 00:01:02.470
I can't even describe to you when I first read the article rumoring this phone,

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,

00:01:08.260 --> 00:01:12.420
the same sensor in the RX100 Mark VII, is in this phone.

00:01:12.420 --> 00:01:15.640
In a phone! So you might be asking, what is the one-inch sensor?

00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:19.310
Brandon I have no idea what you're talking about. Why does this matter?

00:01:19.310 --> 00:01:22.620
Well, if you've ever watched a camera video, but even if you haven't,

00:01:22.620 --> 00:01:26.720
you'll probably understand that a larger sensor in a camera is generally better,

00:01:26.720 --> 00:01:31.360
better low light, better dynamic range. There's lots of reasons that in terms of performance,

00:01:31.360 --> 00:01:35.760
that it is better. So the fact that they took a one-inch sensor,

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,

00:01:42.460 --> 00:01:46.160
as thin as a flagship smartphone would be.

00:01:46.160 --> 00:01:49.930
Guys this is a really big deal because nothing like this has really exist.

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,

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.

00:01:58.620 --> 00:02:02.490
Love to see that. On the right we've got a volume rocker power button,

00:02:02.490 --> 00:02:06.730
which doubles as the fingerprint sensor and two shortcut buttons,

00:02:06.730 --> 00:02:10.530
one for the videography pro app,

00:02:10.530 --> 00:02:13.680
which has this fancy animation when it launches.

00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:18.080
And then the camera, if you look really closely,

00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:22.550
the Shutter button on the camera is actually knurled kind of like

00:02:22.550 --> 00:02:27.470
a Shutter button on other cameras just to give you that like tactile.

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

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.

00:02:36.290 --> 00:02:40.090
Camera opens really quickly, and you're ready to go. On the left of the phone,

00:02:40.090 --> 00:02:44.160
we've got a tool-less SIM and micro SD card slot.

00:02:44.160 --> 00:02:47.953
So you can run a micro SD expansion or dual SIM.

00:02:49.110 --> 00:02:53.960
Love to see that. And then there's a little islet for a like wrist strap

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.

00:02:58.850 --> 00:03:02.630
And the device itself feels very,

00:03:02.630 --> 00:03:08.540
very nice. Almost forgot on the top. We have a headphone jack love to see that

00:03:08.540 --> 00:03:11.073
because it is now becoming a feature.

00:03:12.690 --> 00:03:16.560
And then on the back of course, we got our three cameras, the 50 millimeter (telephoto),

00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:20.150
which on our pre-production sample is unfortunately disabled,

00:03:20.150 --> 00:03:23.843
but that's okay. We've got two other cameras to try the 24 mil with

00:03:23.843 --> 00:03:27.550
a one-inch sensor and then a 16 millimeter wide.

00:03:27.550 --> 00:03:31.100
So that's three cameras on a phone that has a

00:03:31.100 --> 00:03:34.440
one-inch sensor. And it's still again the size,

00:03:34.440 --> 00:03:38.270
the camera bumps not even that bad, like it's really not that,

00:03:38.270 --> 00:03:42.410
I have an iPhone here. And I'd say, let me take this case off.

00:03:42.410 --> 00:03:46.840
I'd say the bump on the iPhone might even be slightly more.

00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:50.170
And then I also actually have a Pixel Six Pro here,

00:03:50.170 --> 00:03:52.933
the bump on the Pixel Six Pro.

00:03:55.270 --> 00:03:59.490
The bump on the Pixel Six Pro is a quite a bit more

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.

00:04:05.720 --> 00:04:09.330
So you can go from F two to F four,

00:04:09.330 --> 00:04:13.330
there's a little like thin aperture blade thing in this

00:04:13.330 --> 00:04:16.600
camera. And it can actually change from one to the other,

00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:20.040
which is again in this form factor

00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:23.860
really cool because that gives you more control over your

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,

00:04:30.400 --> 00:04:34.350
you know, computational photography. So Sony has made a couple of apps on here specifically

00:04:34.350 --> 00:04:40.940
for video and photo because this thing can also do 4k One 20 FPS,

00:04:41.090 --> 00:04:44.770
just like something bigger like the a,

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,

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.

00:04:54.950 --> 00:04:58.170
But apparently they tried to simplify the process

00:04:58.170 --> 00:05:01.420
and make it a little bit easier to use for different users.

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.

00:05:05.530 --> 00:05:09.650
Thanks to Altium for sponsoring today's video. Altium designer enables engineers to connect with every

00:05:09.650 --> 00:05:14.100
facet of the electronics design process. It's intuitive you can interact in a 3D environment

00:05:14.100 --> 00:05:17.820
and it features interactive routing. They've even got Altium 365,

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

00:05:23.070 --> 00:05:28.210
for a limited time at the link below. When the device temperature becomes high,

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

00:05:32.310 --> 00:05:35.483
is displayed, doing so may result in burns.

00:05:37.310 --> 00:05:41.180
Oh, I mean again, I guess that's understandable.

00:05:41.180 --> 00:05:45.010
It's a one inch sensor on a very thin phone

00:05:45.010 --> 00:05:50.230
cooling will probably be an issue, it's not active cooling as far as I know.

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.

00:05:53.400 --> 00:05:57.063
Let's see, we've got manual focus and auto focus. Whoa, So manual,

00:05:57.063 --> 00:05:57.993
Whoa.

00:06:00.270 --> 00:06:04.613
That's so cool. And then if you want to do wide,

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.

00:06:09.370 --> 00:06:12.560
Oh, you can do tele or you can like zoom in

00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:17.742
kind of like on a broadcast camera. It's got like that power zoom.

00:06:17.742 --> 00:06:21.490
Well no, I think this is digital zoom from Luxembourg.

00:06:21.490 --> 00:06:26.210
And then if you do auto off, you can just change your Shutter speed.

00:06:26.210 --> 00:06:29.533
Like a normal camera, Andy.

00:06:30.780 --> 00:06:32.323
Look at this.

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,

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.

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

00:06:48.450 --> 00:06:51.480
because Sony actually is going to sell a vlogging kit

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

00:06:56.300 --> 00:06:59.350
can connect to the, to the phone and a microphone on the top.

00:06:59.350 --> 00:07:03.180
And then it uses their Bluetooth tripod handle thing

00:07:03.180 --> 00:07:06.560
that I've shown in the past. And honestly, the vlogging kit.

00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:09.493
Here's some images of it. Like it looks pretty cool.

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

00:07:15.420 --> 00:07:19.970
and all these features. Unfortunately it is not cheap.

00:07:19.970 --> 00:07:23.940
This phone goes for 1799USD.

00:07:23.940 --> 00:07:27.530
Guys think of the technology though. $1799,

00:07:27.530 --> 00:07:31.200
yes incredibly expensive. But you get so much for that.

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.

00:07:36.510 --> 00:07:41.600
So in cinema pro I have ah, so I have frame rate here.

00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:46.600
24 FPS or One 20 audio functions not available.

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

00:07:51.250 --> 00:07:55.260
here. You've also got different looks.

00:07:55.260 --> 00:07:58.283
We've got Venice Color Science,

00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:03.909
Bright or Pink, Warm, Strong. Whoa,

00:08:03.909 --> 00:08:07.393
These are drastic. They're also flat though. Oh,

00:08:07.393 --> 00:08:10.610
so you can use both lenses in the cinema pro app nice. Okay.

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,

00:08:20.540 --> 00:08:24.500
it just goes in on your screen and then you can change

00:08:24.500 --> 00:08:27.760
your focus from here. Oh, you can like rock focus mid shot.

00:08:27.760 --> 00:08:31.230
That's so cool. And then,

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,

00:08:35.750 --> 00:08:38.763
this thing can do a one button focus poll for you.

00:08:40.730 --> 00:08:43.790
I'm pretty impressed with this app. It is very,

00:08:43.790 --> 00:08:47.040
very intuitive to use, especially if you've ever used a camera before,

00:08:47.040 --> 00:08:50.760
like any of Sony's cameras. Okay, but before we start doing test clips,

00:08:50.760 --> 00:08:54.553
I want to try one more thing. I want to try their photography. Full disclosure,

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.

00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:03.340
And it is again pretty good, on the right of the display.

00:09:03.340 --> 00:09:08.290
You've got all these controls that you'd want on a camera.

00:09:08.290 --> 00:09:11.490
This is like the, the quick settings in a Sony camera,

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,

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

00:09:20.750 --> 00:09:25.640
like more camera alpha series view. And then of course you've got

00:09:25.640 --> 00:09:30.130
program Shutter speed priority, manual and then memory recall.

00:09:30.130 --> 00:09:33.330
So once I go to manual I've got my Shutter speed here.

00:09:33.330 --> 00:09:36.810
My aperture is right here, two to four.

00:09:36.810 --> 00:09:41.440
See that, that's mechanical. So if you guys look really closely at this lens,

00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:46.030
you can see the mechanical Shutter or the mechanical aperture in action.

00:09:46.030 --> 00:09:49.230
There's F two, here's four, there's F two,

00:09:49.230 --> 00:09:53.880
here's a four. F two, F four. Guys that is so awesome.

00:09:53.880 --> 00:09:57.336
You can actually see it working. That is, oh man,

00:09:57.336 --> 00:10:00.540
I love this thing, but let's actually do some test shots.

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

00:10:07.270 --> 00:10:11.230
about how they're going to kill Lucky the dragon. Oh man,

00:10:11.230 --> 00:10:14.280
that actually again, I have to look at this on a computer,

00:10:14.280 --> 00:10:18.780
but from the Ola display on this phone this it looks really good.

00:10:18.780 --> 00:10:23.540
Even just this focus feature, the fact that I can rack to Lucky

00:10:23.540 --> 00:10:26.823
and then rack to these guys as if I was using a real camera.

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

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

00:10:38.780 --> 00:10:44.530
real camera. And then you can look at the depth of field from here

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,

00:10:47.820 --> 00:10:53.220
but he's very naturally and nicely out of focus in this clip.

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.

00:10:57.440 --> 00:11:01.980
Footage off of the cinema pro app is supposed to be processed in post color-wise,

00:11:01.980 --> 00:11:07.863
but just for comparison, I'm going to record a clip on this as well.

00:11:08.940 --> 00:11:13.090
You can see it's a much flatter profile.

00:11:13.090 --> 00:11:17.560
I just love how easy this is to rack focus.

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,

00:11:20.890 --> 00:11:25.370
but there's Andy back to our huddle.

00:11:25.370 --> 00:11:29.780
And then to Lucky, this is so easy.

00:11:29.780 --> 00:11:34.803
Okay. Here's just a quick and dirty test of the One 20 FPS.

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,

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

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

00:11:56.310 --> 00:12:00.040
displays alone, but first impressions on the phone display

00:12:00.040 --> 00:12:05.700
the Xperia looks pretty good, but then so does the iPhone and so does the Pixel,

00:12:05.700 --> 00:12:08.820
I'm gonna let you guys be the judge. Here's the three photos.

00:12:08.820 --> 00:12:11.830
Let me know what you think in the comments down below,

00:12:11.830 --> 00:12:15.850
but I'm not sure yet which one I think is the best.

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

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,

00:12:28.920 --> 00:12:31.803
on the edges of Lucky here. And then on the Pixel,

00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:37.100
we actually see a, quite a bit more fringing on the top of his head.

00:12:37.100 --> 00:12:41.970
It's present on the Xperia a little bit, but really not that bad.

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.

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.

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.

00:13:03.180 --> 00:13:07.060
If you want a deeper video, maybe comparing these three phones

00:13:07.060 --> 00:13:11.250
and a couple other's cameras, let me know in the comments down below,

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

00:13:15.020 --> 00:13:20.830
as a monitor. If you have something like an A74 or a Zed VE 10,

00:13:20.830 --> 00:13:24.503
which is super cool because it's like a 6.5 inch Olin monitor.

00:13:24.503 --> 00:13:28.240
And the last thing you guys might be asking is who is this phone for?

00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:31.850
Because it's $1799.

00:13:31.850 --> 00:13:36.170
Well, it's for the type of person who already has a Sony camera

00:13:36.170 --> 00:13:41.170
and wants a phone that is almost as good or maybe better

00:13:41.890 --> 00:13:45.000
in certain scenarios as there are X series,

00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:50.670
portable, compact travel camera. And instead of having like that separate travel camera,

00:13:50.670 --> 00:13:54.210
you can just have your phone and your professional camera with you at all times,

00:13:54.210 --> 00:13:57.893
instead of carrying two cameras for two different purposes. I got to say,

00:13:57.893 --> 00:14:01.310
I want one of these because it is super, super cool.

00:14:01.310 --> 00:14:05.340
Anyways thanks guys for watching. And please subscribe to ShortCircuit.
