      You can see this tech gives open huge advantage.

      He compared mi14 vs samsung .
      Everybody knows isocell are trash.
      No surprise pixel.7a does better than 8 pro , even with much smaller camera

      Yeah, so correct comparing phones using different settings, multiframe vs single frame exposure etc ..

      It is not noisy. Also noise can easily be wiped out and then you sharpen to have texture back , exactly what samsung does.

        Conslusion = After 20 years ,SONY still relevant in mobile bussiness.

          jiyen235, 27 Apr 2024even by your metrics, 20% is 20%, for lower prices other br... moreYou do not understand ...

          1) 1vi is not going to be 1500 euros like mi14 ultra. At most 1400 with earbuds/headphones included, stuff that sony sells for more than 200 euros.

          2) cheaper without being full of chinese components to reduce value of BoM

          3) Sony is not going to make phone with massively thick bump like xiaomi / oppo. Exmor T tech allows smaller sensors to have almost same performance of type 1.0 while using less space inside, smaller/ thinner lenses. It works at lower voltage, generates less heat.

          4) zoom lens is much harder to apply larger sensor compared to prime lens used by other. Also, it costs more than fixed FL periscope and uses more space inside

          5) performance at most 20% ( actually not even near 20) more for sensor more than 2x the size is awful performance/size ratio. Mi14 has obligation to even beat Cybershot RX100 7 but loses.

          6) imx989/Lyt900 has slow readout , zero chance it is less than 20ms at 12.5MP , imx888 must be about 10-12ms at most

          Sony has 1/2.6" superwide.
          Xiaomi has 1/2.5" superwide.
          Why samples from xiaomi are worse?

          Funny how chinese fanboys complain hete when review done by this site likes very much what was done.
          It is not xperia cam review where you can read them complain about how software ruined the turf, how walls look like wax, how colors are too saturated.

          In case you have not read

          " The daylight samples we took with the Xperia 1 V offer abundant detail, even in the extreme corners, and there is no visible noise. The white balance is spot-on across all scenes, and the colors are accurate. The dynamic range is very good, though on some of the photos, the contrast could be higher. On these photos (the first image below for instance, and a few others), the highlights appear pushed down and not as bright as they could be. A quick look at the histogram confirms this. It's not related to the new sensor, because it's also visible on the ultra-wide camera as well."
          Still, Sony's mature image processing deserves huge praise - everything is rendered in a very natural way, especially the fine, intricate details. There is no over-sharpening, unnaturally popping colors, or unrealistic dynamic range."

          Exactly what sony camera would do. But if you think iphone/galaxy/pixel do correct photography , nothing I can do.

Their phones are basically worse, more expensive alternatives to Samsungs, and you just can't survive only off of weebs buying anything Japanese...

                BETTER PERFOMANCE? Im not sure that you know what you speak about..
                Xperia 1V, 4K120fps (!) Low light. 120 frames per second, once again, one hundred twenty frames per second low light:

Why would I go to Sony if front firing speakers, SD card slot or a headphone jack isn't my main priority?

                  Anyways, I really don't care about the minute differences the Lytia line makes, proper utilization and optimization of those pixels matters more in these small sensors. Don't care about the FWC of it or something but I saw some RAW photos from Juan Bagnell and the Xiaomi 14, with its relatively "small" sensor somehow had really good noise control at higher ISOs, then I saw some comparisons between the X100 Pro and the 1 V, the 1 V felt like a mid range contender at low light with its noisy shots, the X100 Pro dominated with the huger sensor.

                  I don't care about what sensors the Chinese use as long as they get good results out of it, it's fine. The OV64B might "only" be 1/2" but its 2x cropping, when utilized properly like in the X100 Pro, is second to none. Then the 2x cropping by the X100 Pro's 1 inch sensor is even better than the LYT-900 in the Xiaomi 14 Ultra sometimes. It's all about how you use it at the end of the day. Dunno what your point is but you're using useless technical specs instead of using actual comparisons. Watch LL Techview, The Tech Phenomena, Shibi-Chan and some others to get a grasp on how phones stack up in reality.

                    atb, 27 Apr 2024Nice pictures All shot in Auto/Basic mode. Only in flower samples sometimes I tap on screen for touch Autofocus (point where Xperia should focus). Video: Xperia 1V Exmor T daytime photos (auto mode) | -> there is a link in description to Drive with samples.

                      Size difference is more than 100%, performance difference is not even 20%.
                      An exmor T with 1/1.28" size would be enough to match LYT900, despite still being 70% smaller.

                      FWC of LYT800/T808 is 83% compared to 989/LYT900.

                      You should ask why next year chinese phones will be using Type 1.0 omnivision instead of Sony LYT900. Gonna demand them to go back to sony in 2026?

                        Polestar is 21:9, nobody has complained.

                          Can say for that price there are a lot better phones out there.

                                oodav33, 27 Apr 2024Which brand do you think is competing with Sony phones?Many, but please.. when someone write "garbage software" I have to intervene.

If... moreBeautiful shots, one problem though, other brands have significantly better hardware and you can get such shots easily with their pro modes. Ironically they use Sony sensors for example each and every lens on the Xiaomi 14 Ultra is a Sony sensor. So you get a good Auto mode from those that gives you vibrant colors, an option for authentic colors and the option to go for the Pro Mode? Yeah, easily destroyed by other companies.

                                  Sony should use their own top sensors like the LYT-900 for the main cam and the LYT-600 for the UW and telephoto cams at the very least in order to make a compelling offer at this price. They offer Oneplus 12 level camera hardware with "minimalist" processing for double the price for what, some headphone jack that you can easily replace with a dongle if you're a normal functioning adult? Even audiophiles can use dongles and use huge DACs if they want but the point is, there's an alternative to Sony that's much better whilst spending just as much.

                                  Sony was much better back during the Xperia 1 days because everyone was pumping super saturated stuff and Sony felt different, not anymore. I really hope Sony can put out phones with a headphone jack, SD card slot AND top tier camera hardware, all that would definitely justify the high prices of their phones.
