The Sony Xperia 1 Deserves Your Attention By Unbox Therapy

So, here's an exciting one. For me, I mean I, haven't looked at a smartphone from Sony in a very long time. I couldn't even remember when will asked me, and it's kind of unfortunate, because they've been in a game for a long time, not just a smartphone game, but the technology game. The gaming, PlayStation TV everybody wanted once upon a time was the Tradition I had the mini disc player, the Walkman changed the game for me and others. It's like I love to see Sony's still doing it, and especially when they've got a product like this one, which has been requested a lot by you guys, I'm excited for it, because it's a different take, unlike the other manufacturers that are just going. You know, all-in on this idea of screen to body ratio.

They're like let's go with a different aspect ratio, let's try to put as many pixels as possible into a six and a half inch screen that anyone's ever done before. Let's just have a different approach, so that's why I'm excited about this and oh I'm also excited because they're doing a promo. These are my favorite headphones in the world right now, the WH 1000 xm3 they're doing a deal where you get these for free when you order this, that's an important thing to know about, because this is not a cheap smartphone. This is going to retail for 950 USD, so put it in that premium priced here. But if you want to lower the sting of that MSRP, those are three hundred and fifty dollar noise-cancelling headphones and, in my opinion, they're worth it.

I've used them for a while and I love them. So if you were in the market for both of these things, you could imagine your price point on the smartphone having a significant subtraction from a value perspective. Instead of having to spend 950 and another 350, you could look at the effective price at a phone going all the way down to 600 bucks I'll link Amazon down in the description, if you want to check it out, but it should work at a number of different retailers on the pre-order. Currently, okay, some specs on the back 12 +, 12, +, 12 megapixels, triple camera setup. You have to have it this day and age: 2019, specialty, 1, 900, bucks for a smartphone, 8, megapixel, selfie, camera 4k, HDR, OLED display 6.5 inches, that's got to be the highest pixel density. I've ever looked at in a smartphone, I would say: 30, 330, William hours course.

We've seen devices 4,000 plus, so I'm, not too excited about that. Now, after I get a 55, IP, 65, /, 68, okay, this be the next smartphone and I switched to this could be my next experiment might very well, which one did I get. Oh, I got the purple one. He said Toronto Raptors purple one. You see I Jack, flip it over to the front twenty-one by nine cinema wide.

So this brings us to the next hot topic may be the hottest topic with this particular smartphone. You do not see 21 by 9 smartphones. That said, if you look at a service like Netflix, for example, they claim a significant portion of their content is in that aspect ratio it for the time being. It's mostly cinema content in which you'll be able to watch the way it was originally intended. Now.

Why would you want to go with this aspect ratio? Well, what allows you to do is have a 6.5 inch display, but in a form factor that you can hold super-easy. As you can see, it's not a reach. For me. It's just a confident grip. It's a fascinating aspect ratio.

Could it be the future quite possibly, but for now it's one of the rare devices available. As far as a smartphone is concerned, we've seen it in monitors and things like that in the past they also claim there's some Dolby Atmos going on in here I'll test the sound. That's what I do USB type-c connector on the bottom, capable of fast charge? That's a must. You have the speaker unit also in that location right there over on this side of the device, gets a bit fancy, actually there's a few buttons here. This is the interesting one.

It is a side mounted fingerprint scanner, so nothing in display. It's gonna, be your more typical touch based scanner. You would be used to seeing this on the rear of the device on other smartphones. A few of them have tried it on the side. Sony's doing the same, we'll see how that operates, see how that works.

In a moment, volume rocker above that power switch below their kind of weird that they're not both integrated into one, but I'm sure, there's a good reason for it and then another switch down here on the bottom. What is that a dedicated camera switch that would be a nice location for it. I'm not sure if we're going to have to wait a moment to find out on that one as well. Look at that you remove the SIM card, / a micros expansion tray without a tool what a bonus that is all right before I boot up the device. Let's take a look at the rest of the contents of the package.

We have a little of paperwork, a headset with interchangeable, ear tips. A microphone here is your power brick. What is this baby capable of 18 watts of quick charge power that should be sufficient for mo individual okay, little vibration? It's so slim, it's so comfy! It's the ergonomics of a small size fall with the screen of a big size phone. This feels like a pixel three that just keeps going. The screen looks incredible.

It's way more pixels than my eyes could ever possibly discern well. Can we get the pixel density on this 643 PPI according to will do all right here we go we're going to test the fingerprint it's on the side, it's kind of a weird, it's a different location, so how's it gonna, do how's it gonna fare, so fingerprint unlocked on the side is definitely not the fastest? It feels a bit faster when you first press the power switch. If you don't press the power switch, it takes a second I, don't mind having it on the side. I just wish it was a bit snappier. Maybe I can turn off the animation.

Go into the settings. I mean it's, so it's very stock is. They didn't get out of hand. They didn't get wild they're like all right Android, it's pretty good. We don't want to do too much.

So it's its almost pixel issue. They just didn't. They just didn't mess with it. That much I mean I see a couple of things that seem extra cinema, Pro Wow. It is an advanced 21 by 9 video capture, which is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen on a smartphone I mean it's got a real pro vibe to it audio levels.

You have HDR options: codec you're, shooting in h.265 battery level. It's a focal length, ISO, shutter, speed, white balance, daylight selection, manual focus, I mean it's not unwanted. It's cool, it's exclusive! Furthermore, it's in line with their DNA I can live with that. You can launch the camera quickly swiftly, lift your device in landscape mode aim, the camera, and it'll be launched automatically. Okay, that's cool side sense.

You can take a photo or video by simply double tapping the sensor on the side of the screen. I, guess they mean the fingerprint sensor. Okay, cool got it. Oh, this is a shutter button. That's way, cooler this holding it like this.

They thought about the ergonomics. You hold it as a human would hold a camera, and it has the half shutter press for focus. Half down get the green boom pop the shutter. So simple: it's a bit ridiculous, like you could just tap this green loop, relax, or you could use some other button. A lot of a lot of phones use the volume down, but I don't want a double function button.

You know, you see everybody ah like this, the cause, no no, no humans boom. So here we go wide zoom standard zoom wide. It means pretty much what you want. Let's watch a little video sixteen by nine content, you're going to get black bars its YouTube, so you can zoom in actually not so bad. The crop works completely fine and let's get a sense for the audio performance here.

Real quick, now, there's another weird icon over there dynamic vibration. It's like a boost of some kind, but now, if I click on the Dolby Atmos there's a few modes in their by default, dynamic attempts to identify the type of content and then make the adjustment. But you also have movie music custom I'll. Leave it on dynamic, I, think that's how most people will use it. Well, that is so weird.

It was like a harmony I think that might be better for music. To be honest, it's an it's an odd experience, it's harmonized! So it's like a slightly the enhancement is slightly off you. Can you pick it up now? As far as the speaker is concerned, it's your typical implementation. Most of the sound comes out of the bottom unit. The main speaker growing a little of high end out of the earpiece generation, flexible.

All that which requires a very specific Samsung goes and creates other brands- smartphones, probably none more so than Apple's smartphones Apple. Using a hundred million old iPhone screens, I would say: volume is kind of comparable between to you. This is the OnePlus 7 pro by the way, but I feel like there's a little more low-end presence on the OnePlus when it comes to dialog. Let's do a quick music test. Do you want to see that compares real, quick? Look at this? So that's the OnePlus and look at how much skinnier I mean.

Maybe it doesn't seem substantial to you looking at that, but this like this is the extra. This is the tough part to reach with your hand when you're trying to reach the far into the screen. I'd say the OnePlus has the most bass. The iPhone is the most clarity. This one is the highest I will put these two closer together.

This one is a little this ones below that I don't find it to be, particularly if offensive the thing is, it does change quite a bit when you go in there and tweak the Dolby settings, I mean this is what Dolby off now, but out of the box. I'd say it's not quite as pleasing as these two other models, let's see if we can find a Forte 21 by nine video, whoa I, don't know if it's going to come through on camera. I feel like I have to bring it closer to you jack for you to really get the right amount of detail. This is gonna, be one of the best video watching experiences on a phone for a lot of people that are on the go. You end up consuming a lot of content on your smartphone natively, it's just hard to imagine a better experience than this.

So there it is Xperia one from Sony. Finally, a Sony device in the studio and let alone like the most requested good on Sony for creating the device. That's captured the attention of you guys, there are some things that, for me, are promising right out of the box. I mean the display is obviously beautiful. OLED all those pixels unusual aspect ratio I like the dedicated switch for the cameras which I'm going to try out more I'm a little skeptical at a battery life, though I will look into that.

Also, I, like the purple color. Somehow I didn't expect that I'm going to pop my sim card in here very shortly, get to the bottom of it, but good on Sony for sticking around and at least capturing your guys attention up until now, we'll see how it pans out.
