Sony recently released a new generation of mobile phone flagship Sony Xperia 1 V , this flagship mobile phone, in accordance with tradition, also brings us many black technologies in it. In the past, Sony put Alpha’s focusing technology in the Xperia 1 series, and now, Xperia 1 V specially adopts the new and world premiere Exmor T for mobile photosensitive element, which further improves the image quality performance at night and in low light. Now please follow this article to take a good look at this powerful flagship phone.

Basic introduction and experience: the new but still familiar Xperia 1

At first glance, Xperia 1 V still maintains the familiar design language, square and simple appearance, and maintains a very ideal body thickness and lens module size. The front of the body is made of Corning® Gorilla Glass Victus® 2 and the back version is Corning® Gorilla Glass Victus®.

However, in terms of design details, the back panel of Xperia 1 V uses an engraved glass back plate this time, and the rhombic pattern is better to hold and reduces the possibility of slipping. At the same time, the side of the fuselage adopts a V-shaped design. This design has appeared in the past PRO-I, and the appearance is thinner and more clean.

In response to the current wave of environmental protection, Sony’s new products are currently using environmentally friendly packaging. Not only is it completely free of plastic, but the packaging is also made of exclusive patented materials, made of bamboo, sugarcane fiber and post-consumer recycled paper, which is more environmentally friendly and more environmentally friendly. Sustainability does its part.

The 21:9 4K screen without bangs in the Xperia 1 series has always been the highlight of this series of phones. The Xperia 1 V uses 4K HDR OLED specifications and has a refresh rate of 120 Hz. In addition to the high refresh rate and HDR for entertainment, the screen of Xperia 1 V has a high contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1, and also supports wide color gamut ITU-R BT.20202 and DCI-P3 using Illuminant D65. Not only as entertainment, but also as the best display helper for experts.

In terms of performance, the Sony Xperia 1 V uses the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon® 8 Gen 2, which improves the overall performance by 35%, and the GPU is 35% faster, and it also saves power overall. Judging from our current hands-on measurement for about a week, whether it is in 4K video playback, games, or relatively continuous photography, it performs very well in terms of heat generation and battery life. This is mainly because the total heat sink of Xperia 1 V has increased by 60%, which really directly corresponds to a good mobile phone use feeling. In terms of power, 5000mAh is enough for a whole day’s use. Xperia 1 V is also equipped with Sony’s exclusive charging technology. In addition to being able to charge to 50% within 30 minutes for continued use, it also has smart charging protection, making this phone In the future, the battery life will still perform well, reducing the decline of the battery.

In some special details, Xperia 1 V still maintains the 3.5mm jack for users who need high-quality wired headphones. The Sim card slot not only supports non-return card pins, which is more convenient to use, but also supports micro SDXC up to 1TB on the other side.

The new Exmor T sensor brings unprecedented night image quality to Xperia 1 V

Xperia 1 V also adopts a three-lens design, which is a 24mm main lens of Exmor T for mobile, a 16mm ultra-wide-angle lens, and an 85-125mm zoom telescope.

Among the technologies of the entire Xperia 1 V, the most curious thing is the Exmor T for mobile sensor used in the Xperia 1 V for the first time in the world.

To explain it in the simplest way, the Exmor T for mobile used by Xperia 1 V completely separates the photosensitive layer from the transmission layer. It can also perform well for the transmission speed associated with 4K video recording.

The results of our actual shooting are indeed very satisfactory. This technology does perform very well in low light, and the performance of details and noise is very good. While maintaining a thin and light body, the image quality performance is very amazing. We have provided some real shots at night for your reference.

In the past, Xperia 1 series had particularly good focusing and continuous shooting capabilities in mobile phones, and Xperia 1 V has no problem at all. Whether it is the high-speed continuous shooting of the main lens or the telephoto lens, every shot can be firmly grasped. If you want to shoot running pets and playful children in your daily life, Xperia 1 V is a mobile phone that can do it happily.

creative look

The very special and great change in the camera interface this time is the introduction of the creative appearance of the Alpha camera, which has been imported since the A7S III. This time, the design team of Xperia 1 V specially selected 6 creative appearances that are most popular with photographers and users in the mobile phone. Such creative appearances make mobile phone photography more flexible, and it is easier to take photos that are very close to the film. Photo. Personally, I especially like the three creative looks of FL, IN and SH.

In terms of characteristics, FL has a slightly higher contrast and the image is slightly darker, which is a bit like a negative film; while IN and SH are both very bright, which is very suitable for showing a refreshing style. In contrast, SH is more suitable for especially good weather. Take portraits.

In terms of shooting method, Xperia 1 V also has a subtle but very convenient change. The Xperia 1 series has always had a physical shutter button for shooting. For many photographers, this operation is more useful to the camera. This time, the Xperia 1 V is especially aimed at vertical shooting, and the interface of automatic correction is modified. In PhotoPro, the direct In the shooting interface, not only the options will follow, but also a virtual shutter button is added to avoid excessive force on the side and cause camera shake.

In addition to PhotoPro, VideoPro also supports this interface. In this era of fast video and audio, we can not only shoot casually, but also use the powerful video recording function of Xperia 1 V.

In addition, Sony has also designed an original protective case for users who love photography. This protective case is designed with a grip, which can be used for shooting in a more effective and better way.

The same amazing mobile phone video recording function and picture quality

Xperia 1 V supports up to 4K 120FPS in video recording, while the general 4K 30P supports excellent in-body stabilization, allowing us to shoot stable and high-quality 4K videos with the phone in hand.

Xperia 1 V introduces the back-camera-pointing microphone that appeared in PRO-I in the past. In addition to the general omni-directional stereo recording, it can also focus more on the vocal performance of vlogs.

We specially tested the difference between all directions (stereo) and voice priority (rear) speakers, and we can see that in the voice priority video, the background noise is smaller and the sound can be more prominent.

S-Cinetone for mobile

In mobile phones, the skin color of people in movies is actually a very important issue. In order to present a better skin color, Xperia 1 V is equipped with S-Cinetone for mobile this time, which is specially adjusted from the S-Cinetone in the Alpha camera. Film-level color science and technology, in the presentation of the skin color of the characters, indeed reduces the sallowness and paleness, providing us with a very textured film tone.

The mobile phone has now become a portable and all-round 3C device. Xperia 1 V has also added many technologies for this purpose, such as a practical “product display”, which allows us to simply share the joy of getting new items with the mobile phone; and this time In the live broadcast function, it is also supported to reply to the message immediately in the live broadcast in Youtube. These functions seem small, but in summary they are very close to the creator’s mobile phone.

In addition to being closer to most creators, the Xperia 1 V’s own screen display is very good. Users who already have an Alpha camera can use the “Monitor” app in the phone and connect it with a USB Type C. Turn Xperia 1 V into a professional monitoring device. For many professional users, the mobile phone not only hopes to serve as a portable creative tool, but if it can serve as a helper for their main model, it will definitely be of great help.
