look at that oh my god wow that's pretty
good right hi today we are looking at the Sony Xperia
one mark IV not to be confused with the
exoni Xperia Pro I or Xperia Pro or
Xperia 5 series I I understand that
Sony's naming isn't super confusing when you can look at like a chart that shows
all of them but for the average person you might think that all of these phones
are kind of the same but they're not we have
a pretty thin jono is is there just a
phone in this box this is a pre-production unit it does actually say
in our notes that it'll come with a 30 watt charger so I don't know if just for
early samples they just didn't bother to include that which not a huge deal I
have a full disclosure open to this phone already but there's the unboxing
experience from our side for you so the last time we did a video on this series
phone the one Mark III was about 10
months ago Linus did that video physically speaking this phone is not
super different from its predecessor the one three and that's not a bad thing I
actually really liked the design of the one three and the pro I that I checked
out recently these taller displays with a skinnier footprint in the hand makes a
lot of difference for a long term use because I had the pro eye for like a
couple weeks the last time it was here and I never once felt like my hand was
straining when using it for a long period of time and that is the same here
physically speaking the phone feels as you'd expect a
premium phone these days to feel on the top we have
a headphone jack love to see it on the
left we've got nothing but a very smooth Metal finish on the right we have a
fingerprint sensor volume rocker and a dedicated shutter button which I presume
also opens the photography Pro app there you go on the bottom of the phone we
have a standard type c and a tool-less
Sim oh a tool is Sim and MicroSD
expansion now this phone does come in a 256 or 512 by default and of course you
can expand it up to about one terabyte I know that those micro SD cards do exist
which is sort of insane these days under the hood they've added a beefier battery
going from 4 500 milliamp hours to 5 000 milliamp hours and the processor is now
the new Snapdragon 8 gen 1 the display
is 4K 120 hertz just like the
predecessor but it is 50 brighter let's
see how bright that is huh Andy is this too bright for you dang and this still
is a 120 hertz OLED displays so probably
one of the best displays you can get on a phone right now I'm actually just
going to open a game and you guys can see what it is like while I'm at it I'll
I can test the speakers a little bit in this game
oh god oh it looks really good like the
graphics on this game are not amazing
but the experience of the 120 hertz display
even like in a game like this I'm pretty impressed now I want to take
a look at an HDR video because this is an HDR display I'm like I'm super
impressed with the way that the tent looks in this shot because usually this
would be a super blown out and obviously it was shot well enough that it wasn't
blown up but then visually looking at it in this setting
it looks really good so jono just asked me if it makes sense to have 4K on a
smartphone display it really depends on who you are but I
think in general for most people no because it's going to eat more battery
life visually speaking you're not really
going to be able to benefit from those extra pixels on the phone's display even
though it is a much higher resolution why don't we see how it sounds with good
old crab rave
all right I have an iPhone here to compare let's see how this sounds I went
back about 10 seconds
what do you guys think it does sound Fuller doesn't it the Sony
doesn't sound bad like that's the thing I'm not 100 sure I'm not an audio expert
by any means but it does feel like the Sony is like has a
mid-range point where it actually sounds like a little bit nicer than the iPhone
the iPhone's louder it's always hard to tell speaker performance in a video but
I do think the iPhone wins overall however Sony hasn't done a bad job these
sound pretty good especially compared to most smartphones that you will get these
days now Sony's using a three camera system the top camera is a 16 millimeter
F 2.4 the middle camera is the 24
millimeter F 1.7 so the fastest of the
three and the last camera probably the
most interesting of the three is an 85 millimeter to 125 millimeter F 2.3 to
2.8 with optical zoom now you might be
thinking the same way that I was optical zoom
in this tiny little camera bump let's
take a look in the camera app Sony did mention to us that this is a
pre-production unit one of the zoom
ranges on this phone I think it's 5.1
let's go to 5.1 can't actually
grab Focus very easily in this mode dope
it seems to be working right now so this is at the longest end of the lens 125
mil here's a second photo at 4.7 at a wider
and then this third guy 3.5 Zoom
I am impressed every time I use this camera app it just feels so robust even
though oh I'm getting an overheating warning this is again a pre-production
unit they I might not end up actually you might not end up getting a warning
like that but in the top left corner of the camera app right now you can see
that there's an overheating and the phone is
getting warm to the touch oh it's
probably because I'm screen recording and
trying to use the camera app I'm just going to take a quick photo with the
standard camera oh there's Drano and grab Jonas wow it grab jono it grabbed
your face immediately like I put the camera right here on the table
to take a photo of these toys and it's just tracking you
they've improved the eye tracking in all three of these cameras and now each
camera has real-time iaf they've also
improved the selfie camera it is a larger sensor and it's 4K this is the
improved selfie camera on the Xperia one four and it is actually shooting an
HDR right now I don't know what that means from a file
type perspective on this phone but let's see what it looks like versus the
standard definition so that was HDR I look a lot paler
and there's jono my favorite feature that
Sony has added to this phone though is probably the fact that every single
camera except for the selfie camera on this phone
can do 4K 120 FPS video it can do it in
every mode including the cinema Pro mode
which I am a very big fan of because as
I talked about in the Pro I video you have full control of your ISO shutter
angle it's just it's like using a Sony camera but on a phone okay I have
what are these channel are these air I have Airsoft bullets
and a jar with Jon Snow in it
fill them up Kyle
we'll take a look at those 120 FPS Clips in a second but first I want to try an
accessory that I didn't get to try on the last Xperia phone and that is
the Vlog monitor kit this thing is
really cool it basically allows you to add a full-fledged camera monitor to
your phone so it is three components in
the first box the display which also has
a quarter twenty point so you could use this for other things I don't know how many other things you could use for but
you at least have versatility you have a very
strong feeling metal phone mount this is probably the best
phone mount I've ever felt and it has a cold shoe plate very nice and then type
c cable for connection but the coolest part guys the coolest part when I first
tried this thing I was like wow I can't believe
look at that that is freaking awesome
let's put this in and see what it's like okay
kind of slides it can actually slide to adjust depending on which phone you're
using because they're all not quite the exact same size and then we also have
Sony's Bluetooth control grip this is an
optional accessory that you don't have to have because this is just a quarter
20 Port you could put anything on it but it is nice that you'll be able to hit
record from the actual remote and I know
other things like this exist so just use whatever you'd want this is probably as
light a vlog setup as you could possibly have because it's literally just a phone
and a display and a relatively light
grip okay I want a couple people's
opinions around the office if they would start vlogging if they had this setup
let's go so before I actually go around the office and ask people how this
camera performs and what they think of it I have to tell you about today's sponsor manscaped manscape's performance
package 4.0 kit is designed to contain everything you need to make grooming
below the waist easy it includes the updated lawnmower 4.0 with its wireless
charging weed whacker nose trimmer for the tricky areas plus some other goodies
like the crop preserver and the crop reviver sprays for deodorizing and
toning get 20 off and free international shipping in the link in the video
description okay now I'm gonna go bug some people oh what do you think of this
setup uh I think it looks great look at that oh my oh my God here hold this it's
actually sick so Arthur's our social media guy he's does all the new shorts
and things on YouTube but would you use this vlogging setup oh 100 this thing is
sick it's super super smooth right like look at that that's one approved
let's see who else we can bug what's up what's going on what are we doing
we're doing a ShortCircuit but what do you think of this vlogging stuff I mean
it's an adult what am I even looking at this is a Sony Xperia one
and there's four and then there's a magnetic display bone Mount thing I mean
and you can control your record from here and you can take photos and you
don't have to use the crap Zoom
okay what do you think of this oh that looks
pretty neat look at this it's a phone monitor that's the phone yeah camera
yeah everything good would this make you
start like would you take up vlogging with this setup no because I hate Vlogs
so I've never really vlogged before
but this setup makes it surprisingly
easy because it's so light
and very stable because the stabilization on this phone is pretty
good and the white balance and autofocus are also pretty good okay so I'm
impressed with this accessory the Vlog video looks really good for Vlog video
on a phone because it's using the rear-facing camera
let's take a look at some of the stuff we've actually shot on this thing and see how it looks on a computer not
Zoomed In general at the 125 mil this looks like it was taken on a mirrorless
camera because it's such a long lens first
impressions which is what this video is it's not a review this is a first
impressions video this is impressively
sharp detail is excellent there's a
giant light there's a salt like a there's a soft light right behind the
subject of this little toy here and
nothing around jono in the monitor you can see is blown out
so this is the 16 mil man not as good interesting I mean I I
guess not as this relative it might actually be slightly out of focus on the
Toy's face here but even from the the wide shot you got a decent amount of
detail in the bottom of the statue here so here are also a couple extra photos
that we just took outside to show you guys performance in just everyday
situations and you guys can be the judge what you think of the colors dynamic
range and the sharpness I'm overall pretty impressed
4K 120 on the 16 mil is sort of potato
quality overall so this is the main
shooter I'm expecting this to be slightly better so detail wise
it is better it's possible because I was using this at 500 ISO even with a lot of
light in this scene it's a little bit on the noisy side for a smartphone because
500 ISO on a smartphone is not that low it looks better though like you can
clearly see a lot more detail in Jon Snow
um here's the telephoto definitely noisy the zoom's a little bit cludgy as well
but very shallow depth of field you
lowered the iso did some denoising you have a 120 FPS 4K shot I want to stress
to you guys that this video is only a first impressions this is not a review
this is a pre-production model of the phone if you want more info on this
phone if you want to review on one of
our channels maybe leave a comment down below and we'll we'll consider it but
overall first impressions the 120 FPS is okay I mean it's a good
feeling phone it's fast 120 hertz display 4K HDR what more could you ask
for the part that kinda is rough is it
is sixteen hundred dollars USD so it's
cheaper than the pro I the add-on of the Vlog kit this little screen is about 200
USD and then this little handle is 138
USD if I was a vlogger looking for a travel just like vacation kit and I
wanted something super light I don't think you could really beat this so let
me know what you guys think of this phone in the comments down below and if there's another phone that you want us
to check out leave a comment as well thanks for watching
