Thank you GSMArena for not showing a direct comparison with iPhone 13 Pro Max a video. As a standalone the video looks okay-ish, so with articles like this you might be able to keep the Sony mobile division alive for two more weeks. Good job.

    "The resolution comes out to 4320x7680 px with a resulting bitrate of 47Mbps at 26 frames per second."

      Anonymous, 29 Oct 2021maybe because flagships keep performing for longer? if i we... moreYeah, you are partially right. DSLRs are known for not being so good for filming. I also own a dslr, an action cam and a drone, but i really miss a good photography phone - as my 3 yrs old XZ3 is too old now. But i l.ll wait for xperia 5iv as i hate snapdragon 888+, i want 50mp high res capabilities and i like that 105mm zoom posibility that.s missing on the pro-i. And also this phone is waaaay too expensive. Hopefuly xperia 5 iv will have its resolution increased annd also, as gsm arena specified - focus praking. Fingers crossed

          So, the argument of "better buy cam + cheap phone", does not always work.
          ZV-1 does not have all same cam features xperia has.

          That is the point. Only 7s3, 1 and 7iv have 10bit.

Mi11U's 8K footage does look excellent especially if you downscale it to 4K, so I guess that's a lot more than just "decent".

                          AnonD-1024704, 29 Oct 2021New complete type of review just for Sony? And people bash DXOThey're probably a fan of computational photography, they are not capable enough to understand what this can pull off with manual settings.

                            Anonymous, 30 Oct 2021Then can you explain in detail how it leapfrogs other flags... moreIt looks significantly better than those other phones.

                              One thing I noticed from watching both 4K/30fps videos is that the microphone in VideoPro is more sensitive and somewhat louder than in PhotoPro. Colour rendition and dynamic range seem to look equally the same between both apps to me.

                              Oh btw, the slowed-down 24fps video looks awesome. I really love that.

                                Sure this phone is meant for proffesionals that use manual mode but if u rlly needed that u can afford a mi 11 x70 pro or any phone under 900 and get a 1100 dollars good camera and maybe get a few extra accessories with the remaining few bucks.
