Hello, bit of a different video for you today, I've got the new 2018 Sony Compact
mobile and I'm in a very busy city you can probably hear there's a bit of a
clue as to where I am on my t-shirt, I'll be using this little mobile phone out and
about around Havana, just show you show you where I am
So I'm going to, so basically going to be taking this mobile out and about today
get some videos, photos, and giving it a test. I've got my trusty [HORNS]
[MORE HORNS]
I've also got with me my trusty OnePlus 5 and you can see it's a bit smaller than that, it's also a
bit chunkier so first impressions are that while it is smalleer is a bit
fatter and I have to say though overall this is a nice looking bit of kit if
you're interested in a small phone. So I just need to pause this video for a
moment because the traffic noise got really bad.
To sum up I work in the mobile industry and Sony have taken me and a group
of others from the mobile industry away to Cuba for a few days, they've lent me
the Xperia XZ2 Compact and unless stated everything from here on out is
filmed on that.
So here's what we got up to when we visited Cuba.
[MUSIC]
The Compacts been brilliant so far, that came in extra handy when I noticed that
Colette, this is Colette, had a tendency to join in with everything. This is her
storming the stage and joining him with a dance group, this is her storming a group
playing some instruments and joining in, this is her dancing again, this is
her creating some sugar water, this is her playing the piano, or at least
attempting to, and this is her unloading a van of supplies because she just
wanted to get involved with absolutely everything and finally this is her
scaring the captain of the catamaran as she tries to rev it up.
- What's this place called - [Err]
- [We're on a private island] - We're on a private island, OK
- [Off the coast of Varadero] - Thank you
We're on a private island off the coast of our Varadero, I'm here to test the
slow-motion capabilities of the Compact
In terms of image stabilization I think the OnePlus 5 has the edge here
I think Sony have got a bit of catching up to do, you see the OnePlus 5 in the top left
The compact is still a little bit shaky it doesn't really smooth out the
image quite so well.
OK so just going to do a front-facing camera test so on
the left we've got the OnePlus 5 camera on the right we've got the Compact
camera, let me know which one you think looks and sounds better. This is the
sound from the OnePlus 5, you can hear in the background we've got waves.
Now this is the sound from the Compact
The 5 has a slight edge over the Compact being a
slightly bigger screen, it makes it slightly better for doing vlogging, but I
have to say the Compact being compact makes it much easier to take around when
on holiday. So my time in Cuba is coming to an end. I have to say it's been a
fantastic trip, there's a lot to see and do, and the Compacts been a great phone
to bring with me. I especially like the waterproofing on this given that we were
on a boat and waters getting splashed around all over the place didn't have to
worry the slow-mo effect, when you get a good capture, looks brilliant and really
impressed with that I think the photos are really good as
well the compact battery life was really good I got it down to maybe 30% on the
day of very heavy filming, it's worth noting I haven't had a SIM card in this
while in Cuba so it's only been used for filming and take photos, haven't
used it for calls, text or data. This trip was actually organized by a
company that arranged all the events, flights, accommodation, and they've done a
fantastic job. If you're looking for someone to arrange something for your
work whether it's an incentive for customers I will put a link in the
description below so you know who they are, I'll also put links to the phone and hotels I
visited - I hope you enjoyed this little video thanks for watching if
