Hi guys welcome back to golden reviewer, so here on my left, I have the Sony Xperia one mark iii, as you can see here and on my right- is the Samsung Galaxy s21 ultra okay, and this is the snapdragon variant. Okay, so the Sony Xperia 1 mark 3 is set to have a very fantastic camera system, and today we are going to compare the 4k 30 fps low light video recording capability of these two devices and see whether Sony's claim are true or is it another marketing gimmick? Okay, let's go all right now on my right is the Samsung Galaxy s21 ultra and on my left, is the Sony Xperia one mark three, I think straight away. You can tell that uh. The footage from the s21 ultra is brighter. It has some more shadow details and a bit lower noise, okay and just okay, uh, there's a motorcycle uh. Let's move to the darker places, first, okay, just to just mention this right: the Sony actually doesn't support 4k 60 fps recording from its main camera app.
If you want to record 4060, you have to go to a special, so called a pro video app, and basically it's all manual settings. It's not so user-friendly and I think, most of the time you won't be using it right. So you can say that Sony is only good for 4k 30 fps for normal users, and you can see here the image quality difference is drastic. It's just uh the s21 ultra is just miles ahead. The Sony is stock and I feel it's a little.
Uh jerky, it's not as smooth, and I can see a lot of noise. Okay and another bad thing about the Sony. Video recording is that even at 4k 30 fps, you cannot switch lens while recording okay. That means now I'm recording on the main lens, okay and see on the s21 chart. I can just click to switch to ultra white angle lens and that's fine, but on the Sony I cannot do that.
So I have to stop and switch to the ultrawide angle and start again. So now we are on the ultrawide angle and, as you can see, I think the s21 ultra still wins here, although it's not still something you can debate here, the Sony seems to be very aggressive about the noise reduction, so you don't have as much noise, but on the s21 chart you can definitely see more details right, although there is a bit of noise, but I'll, take the noise over the uh, the disappearing details, anytime, okay, that's ultra white and gold and all right. Another thing to mention is that the Sony actually doesn't support, auto HDR in video recording mode right. I think Samsung Xiaomi apple. They are all doing this auto HDR thing, but for Sony you have to choose manually whether you want to enable HDR or not- and I did a simple comparison I think without HDR.
The quality is a little better. So here I didn't enable HDR okay. Now, let's try the 3x, zoom and Sony. I cannot do that. I have to stop switch to the 2.9x and start. Ok.
Ok, so I think the Samsung still wins for the zoom. Okay, it's brighter you'll, have more detail in the shadow and I think it's overall less noisy, it's also a little more stable. Is it I can't really tell from the preview right. I have to go back to my PC to make sure and on the s21 watcher we can go to 10x. That's fine under Sony.
I can stop and switch to 4.4 x, start again and zoom to 10x okay. So what do you think now? We are at 10x zoom, which one is better. I think that's 21 or still wins. Okay, now back to maintenance, stop one x, minus okay! So there you have it the low light, 4k 30, fps, recording from the Sony PR one r3 and the s21 ultra. I think the result is quite clear if you do care about low light, video or even low light photography.
There is no comparison here, but I can tell you that the s21 or winds hands down right. So if you care about these things, don't fall for the Sony, marketing gimmick. Um I mean. Maybe it doesn't sound nice, but I can say it's just a joke right. It's even like worse than some mid-range devices I have tested it's just so bad.
Okay, so don't buy Sony for the cameras, okay, yeah! So that's all for this video thanks for watching. I see you next time.
