"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey guys I'm Tom the texture but I've been testing the new Sony Xperia x2 including its Full HD super slow motion video as my brother eagerly volunteered to chuck the mugs of water in my face all in the name of science so this is the exit tube and I think it's a great smartphone I really do there's a lot to like here but it's not without its flaws including one bizarre flaw issue I've had with it but I'll talk about Lisa in the video but for 700 pounds or $800 it does have some strong competition from the likes of the galaxy s 9 and also the Huawei P 20 so the exit 2 is gonna have to do something pretty special to stand out but the big news is that Sony has given the exit to a fresh new look with a slightly slimmer bezel around the screen and a curvier design that makes it much more comfortable to hold it's got some impressive specs too with a much bigger 5.7 inch 1080p HD l screen that's up from 5.2 inches on the except one it's what's the latest snapdragon 845 processor along with 4 gigs around and 64 gigs of storage there's a 19 megapixel camera on the back that can now shoot 4k HDR video as well as super slow-motion 960 FPS at Full HD both of these things are first in the smartphone world but we'll come back to the camera in a moment because as I say the big story here is this new design which I'm really pleased to see because we've had the Omni balanced design on Sony phones for the best part of four or five years now and while he did look good they look quite premium with their glass front and back and sharp rectangular corners they were quite uncomfortable to hold and they just feel big in the hand so it's really nice to see they dropped it there really nice to see something just a little bit different and it is much much more comfortable to hold thanks to these slightly more rounded corners and also this gentle curve on the back of the phone I think it's a big improvement but it does feel heavy at 198 grams although that does also help it feel like quite a premium device with its glass front and rear an aluminium frame running around the edge the bezel is narrower than before but next to the galaxy s 9 Huawei P 20 or the iPhone 10 while still looks a little bit 2016 they've not followed the knotch trend which may be good news for some but they have followed the trend of getting rid of the three and a half mil headphone jack you do get a fingerprint reader below the camera on the back of the phone which is normally a great location but in this case somebody has chosen to position it near the middle of the phone so as I've been using it I found as I pick up the phone I naturally rest my finger on the camera lens rather than the fingerprint reader to unlock it which is a little bit frustrating it means I'm getting my grubby fingerprints all over the lens it's not gonna be such an issue if you have smaller hands but I find just a little bit uncomfortable you have to sort of bend your finger down a tiny bit first of all problems I know but when it comes to a new design you kind of expect everything to be thought about so that's not ideal for me but moving on to the screen and the 5.7 inch display looks great it's bright colourful and while it does like the inky blacks and infinite contrast of an AMOLED screen it still looks good and I do like the fact that you can adjust the picture mode in the settings based on whether you want accuracy in srgb mode or just sheer vibrancy a quad HD resolution would have been nice it's just full HD but it's not really a problem at this screen size it still looks really sharp and it does help it achieve a fantastic battery life and since the screen supports HDR 10 it means you can watch YouTube Netflix and Amazon video content in proper high dynamic range so you get more vibrant and richer colors and of course you can also play back the HDR video shot with the phone's main camera you can also upscale non HDR content but the effect isn't as convincing it just ups the brightness and sharpness a bit one thing I've got zero complaints about is the performance it's snappy and responsive using the latest Snapdragon 845 processor it's a powerful chip and the same one used in the u.s. model of the galaxy s 9 so as you would expect it ran graphically intensive games like Tekken and pub G flawlessly but I think more impressively than that and also I guess more surprisingly it's just how good the battery life is on this phone two hours of YouTube at 50% brightness use just 15% of the battery so that's at least 10 hours of video playback and in my recent battery rundown test the exit 2 came third but it was only a couple of minutes behind the s9 plus so near enough it tied for second place and considering its relatively small battery the exit to fairs really well and they'll easily get you through a full day now when it comes to speakers and audio quality on a phone there's usually not a whole lot to talk about but when you're watching something on the exit - well let's just say it's got a little bit of a trick up its sleeve first of all sony say the speakers are now 20% louder than before and in my testing music and game sounded clear punchy and well balanced but if it's Rumble you're after then Sony have an alternative solution it's even got a fancy name it's called the dynamic vibration system and it ties the sound of the games or the video you're playing into the phone's own haptic vibration function this means it runs in time with the on-screen sound now I can feel a bit odd at first but it does also add a bit to the sense of immersion you get when watching and playing stuff there are only a few compatible games and services as of right now however it does work with YouTube if I'm being honest I think it's a little bit gimmicky but you can lower the intensity or turn it off completely if you want but it's a nice option to have now for a 20-18 phone it's almost a rare thing to see a phone with just one camera lens but that doesn't really matter it's not the end of the world the Google pixel to prove that with one of the best cameras on the market right now and the good news is the exit to produces some great results photos are sharp and detailed with accurate colors however it does struggle in low-light particularly with color accuracy while the S line isn't perfect the colors are much more accurate than the xl2 which has a significant red tinge to it which was completely unrealistic now as I say not every phone needs a second camera lens although it can be nice and add a bit of versatility but considering Sony have just announced the exit to premium with a new and improved dual camera setup while buying the exit - now feels like you're missing out on something however the exit twos party piece is its video you can record 4k 10 bit HDR in hlg format and for the most part it made my videos look great most obvious are the colors which appear more vivid and more true to life bright highlights seem a little bit less overexposed and shadows retain more detail but recording in 4k HDR does have a downside I found that sometimes I'll encounter a juddering effect when panning especially if I use the steady shot stabilization but that's not all because the exit 2 is the first phone world to shoot Full HD super slow-motion video that's 960 FPS at 1080p previously that was limited to 720p something the new Galaxy S 9 has only just caught up on but Sony's once again ahead now offering Full HD so technically it's very impressive and when you're in good light it can look good but the problem is like before it's just really really hard to use we had half a dozen or so practice runs because it was nothing possible to get a timing right in only records for noir point 1 seconds at a time which results in 3.2 seconds of playback this may be better if you're recording an ongoing event but capturing a specific moment like the water is really tough and I'm not totally convinced by the final footage either the field of view is cropped and it suddenly doesn't look like the quality you expect from a 1080p image so the galaxy s 9 and s 9 plus may not shoot slow-mo in Full HD but it's automatic capture mode that we call tomato Tex movement in the scene makes it much easier to use and finally selfies from the 5 megapixel front camera don't look too bad at all they're sharp detailed and in good light there's very little noise so that is the camera but I want to go back to talking about the design for just a moment because first of all this new curved back does look nice but it does add 3 millimeters to the thickness over the previous exit 1 it also makes it incredibly slippery to hold even just picking it up I've fumbled it a couple of times I definitely recommend it putting a case on this but there's a problem a bigger problem that for some reason on certain surfaces if the exit 2 just likes to wander off this is the exit to slowly sliding around on a seemingly level unpolished wooden desk with all vibration and sound off even putting the exit tube on its own box ended up in a trip off the side of my desk behind a radiator and resulting in the addition of one of 20 18s most notable smartphone trends a knotch it doesn't always fall off he says although too far while spinning in there you can of course get a case but you shouldn't have to so what do I think of the exit 2 overall well there's a lot to like here I'm happy to see a refreshed design it feels fast to use I redo like the same software and the HDR screen and video are nice to have the battery in the camera also really impressive so for a lot of you guys the question is going to be should I buy this / save the galaxy s 9 or the Huawei P 20 well I think yes over the p20 as it's the p20 pro that you'd really want which does cost quite a bit more versus the s 9 though it's tricky I think for me overall I prefer the s 9s camera design it's easier to use slow-mo and it is also 60 pounds cheaper but you can't go wrong with either and if you do want a Sony phone because you like their software then absolutely by the exit - it's not perfect but it's still a great phone so that is what I think but what do you reckon are you a fan of the new design are you considering buying the eggsy - let me know in the comments below thank you very much for watching guys I hope you
