what's up everybody Matthew Mona's here
and a couple of days ago I got to go
hands-on with two upcoming sony
smartphones these are the phones that
were announced today at IFA the first
one I want to talk about is the XZ 1
this is the successor to the XM
performance that was released last year
and I mean from a design standpoint not
much has changed except for the overall
size of it instead of 5 inches or 5.1
inches or whatever it was last year it's
now 5.2 giving you a little bit more
screen real estate but the design itself
hasn't changed much it's still that boxy
classic Sony look I really wish Sony
would have took advantage of this year
and completely changed the design we're
now moving to the point where we have
bezel as screens screens that are 5.8
inches that are pretty much the exact
same size and width as this smartphone
on top of that there's a headphone jack
which is great it seems to be a feature
these days there's a USB type-c port on
the bottom you have that fingerprint
scanner on the right side which is not
that great if you're left-handed and of
course the phone itself is ip68
certified making it water-resistant up
to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes thankfully
Sony continues to put their dual
speakers on the front of the phone so
we're gonna get some really nice sound
when you're watching movies and
landscape mode they do say the sound has
improved since last year by up to 50
percent so I can't wait to actually test
that out and since we're on the topic of
sound there's an improved dock inside so
you're gonna get high res audio you're
gonna get great sound when you have your
headphones plugged in and even if you
don't use regular headphones and use
bluetooth headphones and said you're
gonna take advantage of ldap which is
Sony's proprietary Bluetooth protocol to
get much better compression offering you
improve sound overall now let's move on
to the display it's 5.2 inches but it's
only Full HD you know I mean I looked at
it I don't see any pixelation and I
suppose for a screen that size it's
absolutely fine but I know some of you
out there want a qHD display on a phone
of this caliber now it does support HDR
which is great so if you watch Netflix
or Amazon Prime video and some of the TV
shows or movies that support it you'll
be able to take advantage of that in
terms of performance it comes with the
latest Snapdragon 835 4 gigabytes of RAM
64 gigabytes of internal storage and
course a microsd card slot it felt very
snappy with the little time that I had
with it it's running a pretty clean
version of Android 8.0 so it's gonna be
one of the first smartphones out of the
gate running the latest version of
Android but the main attraction has to
be the rear-facing camera it's 19
megapixels just like the Exide premium
it's a G lens has an aperture of f2
laser autofocus and of course Sony's
steadyshot 5 Access image stabilization
so it's not optical it's electronic but
Sony's implementation does a fairly good
job now what's so cool about this camera
besides the camera photo quality is
actually the fact that it can take 960
frames per second that's insane the
slow-motion you can get from 960 frames
per second beats the DSLR or mirrorless
camera that I'm using right now in fact
I'm using a Sony a 65 hundred and the
most I can get is 120 frames per second
now essentially it's only in 720p but
the fact that a smart phone can do that
is super impressive but the coolest
feature about this phone and this is the
first on a smart phone that I know of is
their new 3d scanning technology so
essentially what you can do is take a
panoramic scan of someone and turn that
into an object you can do this with a
cup you can do this with any physical
object or even a person as long as
they're completely still we did it with
myself I thought it looked pretty cool I
mean it's not perfect but the fact that
a smartphone is doing this is pretty
impressive and then you can take that 3d
object you can share it across social
media you can incorporate it into your
pictures or even send it to a friend
eventually Sony wants to be able for you
to take that object and actually
physically print it out on a 3d printer
and the last thing I want to mention is
the battery life inside there's a 2700
milliamp battery so it seems a little
small and quite nervous how the battery
life will be but we'll find out once I
get a review device and the second phone
I want to talk about is the X ed one
compact this used to be one of my
favorite phones back in the day it was
super small I felt comfortable to hold
in my hand but I don't know how it's
gonna do today I mean bezels are getting
a lot thinner even though the screen
size are staying
bigger and big phones are starting to
feel very very small so I'm not sure if
there's still a market for the compact
phone either way in terms of specs
everything is pretty much the exact same
thing as the regular exit one the only
difference is that the screen size is a
bit smaller instead of a full HD display
it's using a 720p display the battery
size is the same the CPU is the same
there's no 3d scanning technology like
the exit one and instead of 64 gigabytes
of internal storage there's only 32
oh and the last thing I want to mention
is that the front-facing camera on the
Exide one compact has two modes so you
can take your regular front-facing
selfie with kind of like an arrow
perspective or you can press a toggle
and switch it to a wide view in case you
want to fit more subjects or let's say
some scenery in the photo so that pretty
much wraps up my hands-on and first
impressions of the X set 1 and X set one
compact I want to hear what you guys
