How does Sony Xperia 1 IV perform? —— Evaluation of Sony Xperia 1 IV

The biggest highlight of Sony Xperia 1 IV is its photography function, which has been favored by many photographers. It can be seen how powerful its photography ability is, so how does Sony Xperia 1 IV perform in all aspects? Let's evaluate and analyze it together.

1, image representation Sony Xperia 1 IV is equipped with a three-camera four-focal-segment image system, and all three lenses are 1200,000 pixels, and there is a 120fps high-speed reading sensor, which ensures the consistency of the performance experience of the three lenses.

Using Zeiss T* coating can suppress light reflection and show more exquisite light and shadow details and contrast.

For video creators, using Sony Xperia 1 IV will not cause the problem that the color and quality of the picture will be different in the later editing because different lenses are used, which greatly improves the efficiency of the later creation.

Eye focus and real-time tracking are a major feature of Sony mobile phone, which continues the camera's ability and allows camera users to experience seamless connection. For small white users, they can hold each photo more accurately.

All three lenses of Sony Xperia 1 IV are equipped with real-time eye focusing function, which can automatically detect human and animal eyes. When the shooting target moves, it can also be locked continuously, and the clearest sample can be taken by pressing the shutter.

When Sony Xperia IV detects a face, it can quickly track it and frame it with a square. It can also track when people move. When the shutter is pressed, the mobile phone will accurately focus on the position of the human eye and display a small square.

At the same time, all three lenses of Sony Xperia IV support high-speed continuous shooting at 20 frames per second, and support autofocus and automatic exposure, thus ensuring the unity of the whole picture.

At this point, we have been able to see the strategy of Sony Pictures, which is to create a unified multi-lens experience and ensure that consumers can switch between various lenses without feeling.

One of the highlights of this Sony Xperia 1 IV is that it is equipped with two kinds of variable optical zoom lenses, 85mm and 125mm, which can achieve high-quality shooting in the focus range of 85- 125mm. Simply put, it is the optical zoom of this focal segment.

It has optical anti-shake, real-time eye focusing and real-time tracking functions, and is good at shooting close-up pictures.

Moreover, the shooting interface of Sony Xperia 1 IV has also been optimized, which is divided into three levels: 0.7, 1.0 and 3.5-5.2, which can help consumers better use continuous optical zoom lenses.

At present, only Sony can realize continuous optical zoom. Mainstream manufacturers including Samsung and Huawei have adopted the relay scheme of two optical zoom lenses, but the intermediate focal length is still not optical zoom. The upgrade of Sony Xperia 1 IV is actually revolutionary.

I don't know whether domestic manufacturers will launch corresponding products to innovate the experience of mobile phone images in the telephoto end in the next time.

When using Master photographer, ordinary users can complete their creation in basic mode, while professional users can switch to the gears of Auto, P, S, M and other similar cameras by sliding the pulleys in the basic position, and realize their own shooting ideas by adjusting various parameters. In fact, it is difficult for small white users to use it, but it is also good as a preheating product before buying a camera.

Let's take a look at the real shot sample.

In terms of video shooting, each lens of Sony Xperia 1 IV can record native 4K video at a speed of up to 120 frames per second.

Thanks to the excellent ISP of Qualcomm Snapdragon Mobile Platform and Sony's technical accumulation in imaging, each lens sensor can realize multi-frame HDR, that is, combine continuous frames with different brightness levels to produce a wider dynamic range video.

The video is saved in HDR format, using wide color gamut and HLG coding.

This means that the video will have a wide dynamic range output when viewed on the mobile phone itself or on the HDR display.

Another important new function of Xperia 1 IV is live broadcast through the video master application.

This function undoubtedly provides a very convenient solution for the rapid development of short video and live broadcast demand. When in use, the video stream can be transmitted to the video platform or other services through the mobile phone without connecting other accessories or devices.

If the user has a Sony Alpha camera compatible with Xperia 1 IV, it can be directly connected to the mobile phone and used as a 4K display and live broadcast device. Through simple matching connection, a more advanced live broadcast effect can be achieved.

2. Appearance performance From the appearance point of view, Xperia 1 IV maintains almost the same volume as the previous generation, with a thickness of 8.2mm and a weight of only 185 g..

Compared with the previous generation, the weight and thickness are still well controlled.

The back of the Xperia 1 IV fuselage is still equipped with three photographic lenses and a 3D iToF lens for focusing. The most attractive Zeiss iconic red T* coating is a powerful guarantee for high-quality imaging.

The machine also uses Sony's classic 2 1: 9 ratio display screen, which has a good immersive experience in games, audio-visual entertainment.

The ultra-wide screen can have a cinema-level effect, and it can also improve the convenience of holding and controlling the mobile phone with one hand.

The screen still uses HDR organic light emitting diodes with 4K resolution, and the refresh rate is 120Hz, which supports high dynamic range color representation.

Whether watching photos or videos, it can bring users a more accurate and delicate visual experience.

In addition, compared with the previous model, its screen brightness has also increased by about 50%, and it has a better experience in both dark and outdoor bright light environments.

The frame is made of sandblasted metal, which is newly designed and more angular, effectively improving the grip.

In order to highlight the performance of the flagship audio-visual mobile phone, a 3.5mm standard earphone hole is reserved at the top of the fuselage to meet the users who need sound quality. In addition, a speaker is built in the top and bottom of the mobile phone for stereo playback, and its sound cavity has been redesigned, and the effect is very good.

3, system performance For a long time, Sony Xperia mobile phone has always insisted on using the original native Android system.

But for some ordinary users, native Android lacks many localization functions, which has become an obstacle to their daily use.

In order to meet the needs of users in China, Sony is constantly optimizing.

On June 5438+ 10 last year, we reached an in-depth cooperation with Flyme, one of the mainstream customized Android systems in China, which brought a series of localized applications to the native Android system, making it more convenient for users to use.

On the basis of the first four applications, Xperia 1 IV has added five functions, such as security center, Aicy voice assistant, SMS, gallery and negative screen.

Among them, the security center provides the functions of finding mobile phones, harassing interception and virus killing; Aicy voice assistant has a good experience, which allows users to realize various operations through voice; SMS App can automatically classify notification information, which is more convenient to find; The gallery App can intelligently classify photos and provide functions such as puzzles and short videos. The negative one-screen function integrates practical functions such as shortcut function, to-do list, express delivery dynamics, etc., allowing users to achieve one-screen direct access.

With the help of many localization applications, Xperia 1 IV truly achieves the original flavor of native Android and the convenience and practicality of localization function.

I believe that through Sony's continuous efforts, the future Xperia will become more and more useful in software.

Xperia 1 IV is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform, which is also the 8-series flagship platform launched by Qualcomm in the first half of this year. It can be said that it is the standard of Android flagship at present, and it supports both 5G and Wi-Fi 6, which provides performance guarantee for the use of the whole machine.

In order to match the higher performance and power consumption of the whole machine, Sony also upgraded the high-capacity battery of 5000 mAh for Xperia 1 IV. If you charge quickly, you can charge about 50% of the electricity in 30 minutes. This battery supports overcharge protection, Qi wireless charging and reverse wireless charging.

4. Summing up the overall experience, what impressed me the most was the powerful camera and video performance of Xperia 1 IV, such as the unified picture experience of multiple lenses, continuous optical zoom with a focal length of 85- 125mm, and all three lenses support 4K@ 120 fps video recording, which greatly improved the image experience on the mobile phone.

However, as a professional image flagship, Xiaobai is still difficult to get started. If you are a Sony camera user, you can connect seamlessly and smoothly.

In addition, we have also seen some persistence and changes of Sony, such as the up-and-down width of the border and 4K display, which are rare in mobile phone brands at this stage.

In order to meet the needs of domestic consumers, Sony teamed up with Flyme to optimize the localization system, hoping to bring more interesting and convenient localization functions to Xperia in the future.

In a word, Sony Xperia 1 IV is an image flagship with very powerful functions and performance. If you are an image lover or don't want to carry a bulky SLR when you go out, then this phone can be considered.
