Sony Xperia 1 V - Unboxing and First Impressions

**A Personal Glimpse into My Life**

I want to take a moment to talk to my friends and subscribers about what's been going on in my life lately. I gotta be honest with y'all, during the course of making this video, my head is not in it. My heart is not in it. My soul is not in it. I'm trying my hardest to be entertaining because you all know the old saying "The Show Must Go On". But I want to let you know that if you follow me on Instagram, you know a lot of y'all don't really care about my personal life. You want to see new tech and I understand that.

However, I gotta be real with you guys. This is one of the hardest times in my life right now. My big brother was murdered on Monday afternoon, or so I found out Tuesday morning. I haven't really slept since then. I've been going through it. So, I planned on taking off a couple of weeks from making videos because I hate making videos when my heart is not in it. But at the same time, this is kind of like therapy for me talking to you all playing with new tech playing with white shoes that kind of gives me some comfort.

I never asked anybody to like my videos or comment on my videos or share them because like I said, we all are adults here. You know what y'all gonna like? But last night, I was really going through it, so I decided to post a little memorial on Instagram for my brother. And, man, it's been a wild ride. When I posted that photo, and then went to sleep, when I woke up in the morning and checked that photo, I seem to have 12,000 likes and almost 2,000 comments from a lot of you who don't know me personally.

I read through all the comments, and everybody's wishing me condolences. And, yeah, it means a lot to me. A lot of y'all don't know me personally, but a lot of y'all kind of do. We've been on YouTube together for almost 15 years. Somebody sent me a real message saying that they've been following me since they were 13 years old not in college. That's a long time.

So, I just want to say thank you to everybody who reached out and commented on my post. Thank you to those of you who took the time to go into one of my posts that has nothing to do with checking for my brother. You know, none of y'all really knew him in person. But again from the bottom of my heart, I want to thank all of y'all. It means a lot to me and I ain't gonna forget it.

**A Brief Interlude**

I don't wanna pull up any pictures right now because I don't know if I'll lose it again. My big brother was really one of my best friends. We had this crazy sibling rivalry, but you know what I'm saying? He's the first person to come on my channel and with me when I get a new Android phone.

But in a friendly way, because like I said, we're adults here. You know what y'all gonna like? But for me, making videos without being in this place is really tough. It's like I'm just going through the motions. Talking to you all playing with new tech that kind of gives me some comfort.

I'll try to fight my way through it and put some content out this week because like I said for me this is really therapy. But again from the bottom of my heart, I want to thank all of y'all who took time out of your busy schedules to go into one of my posts that has nothing to do with checking for my brother.

I know a lot of y'all don't care who cares you know it's all about tech but for the people who did and the people who do again I just want to thank y'all.

didn't even put the phone in the box that's how light the package was so I opened it up and this is my first time seeing this and I haven't watched any Sony Xperia 1 videos because I don't really care about this phone like that I didn't know this was the presentation okay this is it now we know there's no charge in the box but come on I mean this for 1300 bucks you talk about lackluster okay y'all know I like using that word lackluster this is now look I know this is environmental friendly packing and all that all right shout out to the trees all right I respect y'all but look at this Inside the Box now I understand the the new days of no charge in the box but no cable in the Box come on Sony come on Sony are you kidding me no charger and no cable in the Box but you actually put the books and come on man you know all right here we go okay here we go Sony Xperia one Mark V now I will say this fresh out of the box I do like the build quality Okay it definitely feels like premium okay let's see you got your aluminum sides with ridges the back gorilla glass but it has the matte glass and it does have a little textured feel on that there's your triple camera setup Zeiss Optics okay let's see hit the power button now you got your fingerprint sensor built into the power button let's see if we got any juice I'll power this up there it is we got volume up and down this is going to be your dedicated camera button two-step status okay USB type-c charging slot there's your SIM tray and your micro SD card slot for expandable memory the C triple camera setup LED flash there's your mic so you're gonna get that extra Chris audio on the top we got a headphone jack Samsung Apple headphone jack Google OnePlus headphone jack xiaomi Apple okay Flagship phones that still have a headphone jack and expandable memory this side is nice and clean loose only Brandon and here it is now let's see let's do a quick display test now I'm going to tell you right now am I going to like this phone or not let me go ahead and open this one up real quick I haven't even opened this phone in about a year let's see as far as the narrowness I could tell that I'm not gonna like it already now I'm gonna I'm gonna keep it real job I'm going to I'm going into this video with the open mind okay I'm gonna review this next week alright I'm leaving on uh tomorrow afternoon doing a little vacation I'm gonna put this to the chest I'm gonna use this as my daily driver but look at the display size look at this the size of the narrowness it's gonna be hard for me to to enjoy this I'm gonna try to I'm gonna try you know and the funny thing is look at this even my foldable device has a wider outer display this is a fold okay how does a fold have a wider outer display than the candy bar style phone like I said I'm gonna go until it would open mind the one I didn't like this one the two I didn't like it but we'll see all right so let me pause the video I'll set everything up and then we'll just walk through the OS Talk Amongst yourselves all right y'all so we back in now like I said earlier I'm trying my hardest to go into this with an open mind but there's a couple of things about this phone that I already don't like number one as I'm setting it up I just noticed they removed the ability for you to add a picture on your always on display you can't do that anymore now you're just stuck with a regular clock I don't like that and number two there's no face unlocked now I might have said Face Unlock when I was reading through the specs because I'm just so used to saying that but no face unlock so you're getting the headphone jack an expandable memory but no face unlock it is what it is the side mounted fingerprint sensor is so good you probably won't need it but I just got to throw that out there now let me also say this this phone right here okay this is not a beginner's Android phone okay if you're looking for my first Android phone you might not want to get this one okay this one is not too user friendly and this is one of those phones that's doing too much that's the only way I could describe it this phone is doing too much let me show you what I'm talking about first let's take a quick look around the phone okay you got your cameras on the back there's your flash with the mic I think we already did that ridges on the side okay expandable memory USB type-c charging headphone jack everything looks good fingerprint sensor now the fingerprint sensor is ultra fast super responsive okay I'm gonna do that one more time or you could just press it open it just like that excellent Biometrics you do have always on display you got a few clocks you could choose from but no photos which is a downgrade and this is all the way from the two anyway pop it open now if you notice from your always on display you will get your notifications okay pop this open nice narrow display but the display now it is narrow but it's 4K and it is super sharp okay so if you're watching uh streaming some 4K content it's going to look amazing on this and I will say this don't not buy a phone just because I said it's narrow I know a lot of y'all want narrow phones I did the uh full review for my Galaxy Z fold five and a lot of y'all was like no I like this narrow out of display speaking of narrow out of displays let's see okay the z-fold is a little bit more narrow this is the most narrowest phone on the market what I was saying some of y'all might like this so don't get discouraged just because I said I don't like it you may like it okay let's exit out of that all right so let's go to the settings real quick now this is what I mean by doing too much all right this phone just has a lot going on all right so networking and lse uh device connections anything we need to see here you do have Android auto you can use this as an external monitor you got experience stream you got screencast screen mirroring you can use external video support and audio and you have NFC okay there's your NFC tag on the back right there and a wireless controller for your PS5 and your PS4 again if you're heavy into the Sony ecosystem you're gonna like this and also let me say this I am not a photographer okay I'm not a photographer I'm not going to pretend not know all about pixel been in and all of this crazy stuff I like to use camera phones for point and shoot okay point and shoot I'm sitting down at dinner you know my daughter doing something cute hold on let me get a photo like I'm not going to be changing the shutter speed in the white balance and the focus and all of that you might do that though but for me point and shoot this is you better off going with something else all right so that's your connection preferences let's see anything else we need to see on that uh notifications everything looks standard with this battery okay now you do have stamina mode okay adaptive battery you can show your battery percentage let's go to storage now this is 256 gigs 12 gigs of RAM pretty good sound evaporation now one thing I will say about this phone and um the last only phone I had the haptics okay the vibration engine on this is crazy okay you could feel every vibration they say it has Dynamic evaporation day not lying are they not lying at all you got two big juicy front-facing speakers extra juicy okay you got spatial audio okay so like I said it's a lot going on with this phone let's go to display okay so you got your image settings so you got creative mode that's going to give it a different Hue you got standard I like the standard looks a little bit colder okay you got your white balance again this is a lot of stuff to play with on this phone matter of fact let's see said manually okay that looks better like that you got your high refresh rate let's go ahead and turn that on okay let's see uh let's see adaptive brightness you got a dark theme okay lock screen okay now check this out this is where the stickers option is missing would I add your own sticker okay so you got wake screen now here's all your clocks now this is what I was talking about just in case if you want to see when I'm you see um if you went to on the two let's go to display right and we'll go to always on let me get them find that real quick da okay ambient okay stickers you see I got my own sticker which is a picture of my car or you can just add your own photos that option is gone now okay so these are the only always on displays you're left with me I'm heavy into customization this phone for all of its menus and drop down menus no photos I mean that's kind of weird all right so we gotta lift the check device okay show your text anything else we need to see here show notifications okay nothing else going on with that okay screen timeout smart backlight control prevent accidental operations okay now you do have side sense now that's let me show you that the side sense you tap that twice and you pull up your little menu right here and you can do your 21x9 multi-view okay that's a cool little feature I actually use that a couple of times but then it got kind of gimmicky when you got to really think about too much to press it like you gotta once you get the phone you'll get the hang of doing it it's just I don't know it just doesn't feel that natural okay so let's see wallpapers you do have some live wallpapers on Deck you got the green silver black okay real nice let's see anything else we need to see here accessibility if you're hearing or visually impaired everything is on Deck don't worry we getting to the point where I'm saying this phone is doing too much but some of y'all want that though some of y'all want that let's see security no face unlock okay you only got fingerprints okay that's it you can encrypt your device and you do have Smart Lock but no face unlock I mean ah it's kind of weird all right let's see privacy anything we need to see here nothing got you do have um location services okay passwords and accounts okay digital well-being monitor your scumbag activities support language okay backup and reset and that's pretty much it now let me show you what I'm talking about when I say this phone is doing too much you got three separate camera apps now if you're a photographer you're gonna know what all of this stuff is but this is why I'm saying that if this is going to be your my first Android phone you're gonna want something a little bit more simplistic now here's your camera app I did take some quick point and shoot photos which look good but didn't really just blow me out of the box for a phone that considers to be you know the number one camera phone let me show you something real quick I took that same photo just now with the standard iPhone and the iPhone photo looks better for point and shoot now again this is just point and shoot of course I'm gonna have to start playing with all of the settings because like you look like you got basic you got Auto you got program Auto shutter speed priority manual exposure okay now all of these different options and settings if you're not a photographer you're not going to know what this stuff is and again I am not pretending to be Joe Tech okay then I know everything about check I'm not a photographer I'm really not that's why these Sony phones never really appeal to me that much because I'm I'm more of a casual more of a casual user okay but you do got basic all right so if you're going to be a casual user put it on basic okay so you got single shooting you got your creative look you got Auto you do have night mode okay you got bokeh effects okay a bunch of different camera options to choose from let's hit more slow motion panorama oh what did I hit early oh menu okay now check this out you got a whole bunch of settings a gang of settings okay you got a gang of settings on this I mean the camera is just everywhere it's just that's just one camera app you got three different camera apps you got a video Pro app again I'll see all of these different settings and menus and options and you know all this that if you don't know about cameras you're just gonna you're gonna waste your money with this phone if you're just a casual you're gonna waste your money buying this phone but when I do the full review by then I'll know about all this stuff I'm gonna take this with me on my little vacation I'm gonna play with everything so how about in by next weekend I should know all this stuff you got music Pro okay you can you can edit music directly and send it up to the cloud you got a game enhancer okay now you can use this as an overlay or access it right from your game menu when you go to volume right this is what I was talking about earlier you do at your dynamic as a matter of fact I think I got to put on some music first let's go to let's take it over to YouTube okay now let's get some music on this you got Dynamic vibration all right now I'm gonna be quiet for a minute let's see oh my God I will say I will say why do I keep saying I will say this all right I will say this one more time the front facing speakers do sound great and that Dynamic vibration it just kind of gives it a Bassy feel it feels like you're holding your dual shot controller for your PlayStation and it's vibrating you're getting that same feeling but with the music I do as big as it sounds dope them sounds dope all right anyway so we're gonna play with the speakers we're gonna play with the display matter of fact since we did let's just quickly look at this okay now you do got the big bezels but that's because you got the front facing speakers viewing angles do look immaculate all right let me save some stuff for the full review now as far as the feeling just right now it definitely feels narrow but it doesn't feel like oh I'm gonna immediately hate it that much I will be able to use it I don't like if I go to messages or phone calls let's go to messages real quick let's see um let's see okay look at the keyboard what's good bro yeah I mean I could easily type on it like it doesn't feel too narrow it's just it it just when you put it next to something like this hey when you when you bring out the Galaxy then you see the difference in the narrowness now like I said I want to save some stuff for my full review but another thing I noticed that I already don't like it doesn't seem like it's the brightest phone now I got this on Max brightness it's definitely not the brightest not the brightest display let's see anything else we need to see real quick during the unboxing no that's pretty much it but by the time I do the full review I'll have a full laundry list of things that I don't like things that I do like and we'll be uh check all of the camera stuff let's say you got the creators app okay enjoy Advanced Camera experience okay privacy policy let's go ahead and accept that you gotta sign in immediately okay come on bro do we you know they they they don't make like they they don't make it easy all right we're not gonna do all of that right now all right so they got to create this external monitor if you got a Sony Alpha camera then this might be something that you need okay you got Photo Pro okay that's the one we was using okay that's Photo Pro you got Cinema Pro and video Pro again multiple camera apps video Pro that's the one we was using let's see what was the last one Cinema Pro okay cinematography Pro okay now this should be dope for making your videos okay I mean at any time now you know okay all right here it is let's see now this is what I mean this phone is doing the most it you know and this kind of stuff turns off a lot of people when you open up an app and you see all these numbers and different menus and all that stuff that kind of gets people nervous unless you're a photographer then you're like oh I'm right at home with this but me that as soon as I see all this stuff I'm like I just go I just want the regular video mode it is what it is but you're not going to pay 1300 bucks if you're not a serious photographer okay so if you're serious photographer disregard everything that I'm saying Snapdragon 8 generation two everything looks like it's running nice and smooth the uh OS looks pretty stockish okay I'm still downloading all of my apps so if you see it looks like it's running slow I'm downloading apps in the background when you do your split screen multitasking you got multi-window switch so this way you can have two going at the same time okay let's hit that multi-window switch all right multi-window switch little lag right there let's see let's let's try it like this okay YouTube and we'll do calendar on the bottom all right that's a nice little feature from side sense but you're supposed to be able to hit that from right here ah there it is all right so you got multi-window switch top and bottom at the same time pretty dope pretty dope anyway fresh out of the box I like it you got the headphone jack which does have a quad deck okay I'm gonna really test that out too on my flight I'm gonna bring some wired headphones oh on a side note I got the I got the ultimate white headphones do I have them right here oh no I thought I had them write it all right well I got the new techniques I got the new techniques wired headphones so we're gonna try the quad deck out you got expandable memory so I got a little uh micro SD card with about 100 episodes of Family Guy pop that right in there watch it on this 4K display it just it just doesn't seem as bright though I mean it just could it could just be me but it just doesn't seem that bright anyway Sony Xperia mark one no let me say that again Sony Xperia one mark five hit me up in the comments let me know what y'all think about this and let me know if there's anything specific I want me to cover when I do the full review which I know we're gonna tear it apart from top to bottom all right so I just want to take a quick second to talk to my friends and my subscribers now I gotta be honest with y'all during the course of making this video my head is not in this my heart is not in this my soul is not in this I'm trying my hardest to be entertaining because y'all know the old saying The Show Must Go On when y'all come to my channel I know a lot of y'all don't really care about my personal life y'all want to see new tech and I understand that but if you follow me on Instagram y'all know right now this is um probably one of the hardest times in my life because my big brother was murdered on Monday afternoon really uh Monday evening I didn't find out until Tuesday morning and I haven't really slept since Tuesday I've really been going through it so I planned on taking off a couple of weeks from making videos because I hate making videos when my heart is not in it but at the same time this is kind of like therapy for me talking to y'all playing with new Tech playing with white shoes that kind of gives me some comfort but I will say one more thing you know I never asked anybody to like my videos or comment on my videos or share them because like I said I mean we all we all adults here you know y'all y'all like what y'all gonna like I'm not gonna ask y'all to like nothing but last night I was really really going through it so I decided to post a little Memorial on Instagram for my brother and I just posted a photo and then I went to sleep and when I woke up in the morning and I checked that photo and I seem to have 12 000 likes and almost 2 000 comets from a lot of y'all who don't know me personally and I just read through I'm reading through all the comments and everybody's wishing me condolences and I understand that a lot of y'all don't know me personally let me hold it together a lot of y'all don't know me personally but a lot of y'all kind of do like we've been on YouTube I've been on YouTube really for almost 15 years somebody sent me a real message on saying that they've been following me since they was 13 years old not in college that's a long time so you know and that happens when you when you follow somebody and you like somebody an online personality you watch a lot of videos before and you know you interact with them on Instagram and Facebook and Twitter and all that after a while it seems like you actually know that person especially somebody like me who interacts with my subscribers I you know y'all be sending me wedding photos and when your kid gets when you have a brand new baby y'all play your floors I just had a baby uh you know you know we interact with each other so I don't really want to go off on a big tangent right now but I really did just want to say thank you to everybody who reached out me to reached out to me right now because I don't know if y'all know this or not but I'm not even gonna pull up any pictures right now because I did not I might lose it again but my big brother was really one of my best friends you

little textured feel on that there's your triple camera setup Zeiss Optics okay let's see hit the power button now you got your fingerprint sensor built into the power button let's see if we got any juice I'll power this up there it is we got volume up and down this is going to be your dedicated camera button two-step status okay USB type-c charging slot there's your SIM tray and your micro SD card slot for expandable memory the C triple camera setup LED flash there's your mic so you're gonna get that extra Chris audio on the top we got a headphone jack Samsung Apple headphone jack Google OnePlus headphone jack xiaomi Apple okay Flagship phones that still have a headphone jack and expandable memory this side is nice and clean loose only Brandon and here it is now let's see let's do a quick display test now I'm going to tell you right now am I going to like this phone or not let me go ahead and open this one up real quick I haven't even opened this phone in about a year let's see as far as the narrowness I could tell that I'm not gonna like it already now I'm gonna I'm gonna keep it real job I'm going to I'm going into this video with the open mind okay I'm gonna review this next week alright I'm leaving on uh tomorrow afternoon doing a little vacation I'm gonna put this to the chest I'm gonna use this as my daily driver but look at the display size look at this the size of the narrowness it's gonna be hard for me to to enjoy this I'm gonna try to I'm gonna try you know and the funny thing is look at this even my foldable device has a wider outer display this is a fold okay how does a fold have a wider outer display than the candy bar style phone like I said I'm gonna go until it would open mind the one I didn't like this one the two I didn't like it but we'll see all right so let me pause the video I'll set everything up and then we'll just walk through the OS Talk Amongst yourselves all right y'all so we back in now like I said earlier I'm trying my hardest to go into this with an open mind but there's a couple of things about this phone that I already don't like number one as I'm setting it up I just noticed they removed the ability for you to add a picture on your always on display you can't do that anymore now you're just stuck with a regular clock I don't like that and number two there's no face unlocked now I might have said Face Unlock when I was reading through the specs because I'm just so used to saying that but no face unlock so you're getting the headphone jack an expandable memory but no face unlock it is what it is the side mounted fingerprint sensor is so good you probably won't need it but I just got to throw that out there now let me also say this this phone right here okay this is not a beginner's Android phone okay if you're looking for my first Android phone you might not want to get this one okay this one is not too user friendly and this is one of those phones that's doing too much that's the only way I could describe it this phone is doing too much let me show you what I'm talking about first let's take a quick look around the phone okay you got your cameras on the back there's your flash with the mic I think we already did that ridges on the side okay expandable memory USB type-c charging headphone jack everything looks good fingerprint sensor now the fingerprint sensor is ultra fast super responsive okay I'm gonna do that one more time or you could just press it open it just like that excellent Biometrics you do have always on display you got a few clocks you could choose from but no photos which is a downgrade and this is all the way from the two anyway pop it open now if you notice from your always on display you will get your notifications okay pop this open nice narrow display but the display now it is narrow but it's 4K and it is super sharp okay so if you're watching uh streaming some 4K content it's going to look amazing on this and I will say this don't not buy a phone just because I said it's narrow I know a lot of y'all want narrow phones I did the uh full review for my Galaxy Z fold five and a lot of y'all was like no I like this narrow out of display speaking of narrow out of displays let's see okay the z-fold is a little bit more narrow this is the most narrowest phone on the market what I was saying some of y'all might like this so don't get discouraged just because I said I don't like it you may like it okay let's exit out of that all right so let's go to the settings real quick now this is what I mean by doing too much all right this phone just has a lot going on all right so networking and lse uh device connections anything we need to see here you do have Android auto you can use this as an external monitor you got experience stream you got screencast screen mirroring you can use external video support and audio and you have NFC okay there's your NFC tag on the back right there and a wireless controller for your PS5 and your PS4 again if you're heavy into the Sony ecosystem you're gonna like this and also let me say this I am not a photographer okay I'm not a photographer I'm not going to pretend not know all about pixel been in and all of this crazy stuff I like to use camera phones for point and shoot okay point and shoot I'm sitting down at dinner you know my daughter doing something cute hold on let me get a photo like I'm not going to be changing the shutter speed in the white balance and the focus and all of that you might do that though but for me point and shoot this is you better off going with something else all right so that's your connection preferences let's see anything else we need to see on that uh notifications everything looks standard with this battery okay now you do have stamina mode okay adaptive battery you can show your battery percentage let's go to storage now this is 256 gigs 12 gigs of RAM pretty good sound evaporation now one thing I will say about this phone and um the last only phone I had the haptics okay the vibration engine on this is crazy okay you could feel every vibration they say it has Dynamic evaporation day not lying are they not lying at all you got two big juicy front-facing speakers extra juicy okay you got spatial audio okay so like I said it's a lot going on with this phone let's go to display okay so you got your image settings so you got creative mode that's going to give it a different Hue you got standard I like the standard looks a little bit colder okay you got your white balance again this is a lot of stuff to play with on this phone matter of fact let's see said manually okay that looks better like that you got your high refresh rate let's go ahead and turn that on okay let's see uh let's see adaptive brightness you got a dark theme okay lock screen okay now check this out this is where the stickers option is missing would I add your own sticker okay so you got wake screen now here's all your clocks now this is what I was talking about just in case if you want to see when I'm you see um if you went to on the two let's go to display right and we'll go to always on let me get them find that real quick da okay ambient okay stickers you see I got my own sticker which is a picture of my car or you can just add your own photos that option is gone now okay so these are the only always on displays you're left with me I'm heavy into customization this phone for all of its menus and drop down menus no photos I mean that's kind of weird all right so we gotta lift the check device okay show your text anything else we need to see here show notifications okay nothing else going on with that okay screen timeout smart backlight control prevent accidental operations okay now you do have side sense now that's let me show you that the side sense you tap that twice and you pull up your little menu right here and you can do your 21x9 multi-view okay that's a cool little feature I actually use that a couple of times but then it got kind of gimmicky when you got to really think about too much to press it like you gotta once you get the phone you'll get the hang of doing it it's just I don't know it just doesn't feel that natural okay so let's see wallpapers you do have some live wallpapers on Deck you got the green silver black okay real nice let's see anything else we need to see here accessibility if you're hearing or visually impaired everything is on Deck don't worry we getting to the point where I'm saying this phone is doing too much but some of y'all want that though some of y'all want that let's see security no face unlock okay you only got fingerprints okay that's it you can encrypt your device and you do have Smart Lock but no face unlock I mean ah it's kind of weird all right let's see privacy anything we need to see here nothing got you do have um location services okay passwords and accounts okay digital well-being monitor your scumbag activities support language okay backup and reset and that's pretty much it now let me show you what I'm talking about when I say this phone is doing too much you got three separate camera apps now if you're a photographer you're gonna know what all of this stuff is but this is why I'm saying that if this is going to be your my first Android phone you're gonna want something a little bit more simplistic now here's your camera app I did take some quick point and shoot photos which look good but didn't really just blow me out of the box for a phone that considers to be you know the number one camera phone let me show you something real quick I took that same photo just now with the standard iPhone and the iPhone photo looks better for point and shoot now again this is just point and shoot of course I'm gonna have to start playing with all of the settings because like you look like you got basic you got Auto you got program Auto shutter speed priority manual exposure okay now all of these different options and settings if you're not a photographer you're not going to know what this stuff is and again I am not pretending to be Joe Tech okay then I know everything about check I'm not a photographer I'm really not that's why these Sony phones never really appeal to me that much because I'm I'm more of a casual more of a casual user okay but you do got basic all right so if you're going to be a casual user put it on basic okay so you got single shooting you got your creative look you got Auto you do have night mode okay you got bokeh effects okay a bunch of different camera options to choose from let's hit more slow motion panorama oh what did I hit early oh menu okay now check this out you got a whole bunch of settings a gang of settings okay you got a gang of settings on this I mean the camera is just everywhere it's just that's just one camera app you got three different camera apps you got a video Pro app again I'll see all of these different settings and menus and options and you know all this that if you don't know about cameras you're just gonna you're gonna waste your money with this phone if you're just a casual you're gonna waste your money buying this phone but when I do the full review by then I'll know about all this stuff I'm gonna take this with me on my little vacation I'm gonna play with everything so how about in by next weekend I should know all this stuff you got music Pro okay you can you can edit music directly and send it up to the cloud you got a game enhancer okay now you can use this as an overlay or access it right from your game menu when you go to volume right this is what I was talking about earlier you do at your dynamic as a matter of fact I think I got to put on some music first let's go to let's take it over to YouTube okay now let's get some music on this you got Dynamic vibration all right now I'm gonna be quiet for a minute let's see oh my God I will say I will say why do I keep saying I will say this all right I will say this one more time the front facing speakers do sound great and that Dynamic vibration it just kind of gives it a Bassy feel it feels like you're holding your dual shot controller for your PlayStation and it's vibrating you're getting that same feeling but with the music I do as big as it sounds dope them sounds dope all right anyway so we're gonna play with the speakers we're gonna play with the display matter of fact since we did let's just quickly look at this okay now you do got the big bezels but that's because you got the front facing speakers viewing angles do look immaculate all right let me save some stuff for the full review now as far as the feeling just right now it definitely feels narrow but it doesn't feel like oh I'm gonna immediately hate it that much I will be able to use it I don't like if I go to messages or phone calls let's go to messages real quick let's see um let's see okay look at the keyboard what's good bro yeah I mean I could easily type on it like it doesn't feel too narrow it's just it it just when you put it next to something like this hey when you when you bring out the Galaxy then you see the difference in the narrowness now like I said I want to save some stuff for my full review but another thing I noticed that I already don't like it doesn't seem like it's the brightest phone now I got this on Max brightness it's definitely not the brightest not the brightest display let's see anything else we need to see real quick during the unboxing no that's pretty much it but by the time I do the full review I'll have a full laundry list of things that I don't like things that I do like and we'll be uh check all of the camera stuff let's say you got the creators app okay enjoy Advanced Camera experience okay privacy policy let's go ahead and accept that you gotta sign in immediately okay come on bro do we you know they they they don't make like they they don't make it easy all right we're not gonna do all of that right now all right so they got to create this external monitor if you got a Sony Alpha camera then this might be something that you need okay you got Photo Pro okay that's the one we was using okay that's Photo Pro you got Cinema Pro and video Pro again multiple camera apps video Pro that's the one we was using let's see what was the last one Cinema Pro okay cinematography Pro okay now this should be dope for making your videos okay I mean at any time now you know okay all right here it is let's see now this is what I mean this phone is doing the most it you know and this kind of stuff turns off a lot of people when you open up an app and you see all these numbers and different menus and all that stuff that kind of gets people nervous unless you're a photographer then you're like oh I'm right at home with this but me that as soon as I see all this stuff I'm like I just go I just want the regular video mode it is what it is but you're not going to pay 1300 bucks if you're not a serious photographer okay so if you're serious photographer disregard everything that I'm saying Snapdragon 8 generation two everything looks like it's running nice and smooth the uh OS looks pretty stockish okay I'm still downloading all of my apps so if you see it looks like it's running slow I'm downloading apps in the background when you do your split screen multitasking you got multi-window switch so this way you can have two going at the same time okay let's hit that multi-window switch all right multi-window switch little lag right there let's see let's let's try it like this okay YouTube and we'll do calendar on the bottom all right that's a nice little feature from side sense but you're supposed to be able to hit that from right here ah there it is all right so you got multi-window switch top and bottom at the same time pretty dope pretty dope anyway fresh out of the box I like it you got the headphone jack which does have a quad deck okay I'm gonna really test that out too on my flight I'm gonna bring some wired headphones oh on a side note I got the I got the ultimate white headphones do I have them right here oh no I thought I had them write it all right well I got the new techniques I got the new techniques wired headphones so we're gonna try the quad deck out you got expandable memory so I got a little uh micro SD card with about 100 episodes of Family Guy pop that right in there watch it on this 4K display it just it just doesn't seem as bright though I mean it just could it could just be me but it just doesn't seem that bright anyway Sony Xperia mark one no let me say that again Sony Xperia one mark five hit me up in the comments let me know what y'all think about this and let me know if there's anything specific I want me to cover when I do the full review which I know we're gonna tear it apart from top to bottom all right so I just want to take a quick second to talk to my friends and my subscribers now I gotta be honest with y'all during the course of making this video my head is not in this my heart is not in this my soul is not in this I'm trying my hardest to be entertaining because y'all know the old saying The Show Must Go On when y'all come to my channel I know a lot of y'all don't really care about my personal life y'all want to see new tech and I understand that but if you follow me on Instagram y'all know right now this is um probably one of the hardest times in my life because my big brother was murdered on Monday afternoon really uh Monday evening I didn't find out until Tuesday morning and I haven't really slept since Tuesday I've really been going through it so I planned on taking off a couple of weeks from making videos because I hate making videos when my heart is not in it but at the same time this is kind of like therapy for me talking to y'all playing with new Tech playing with white shoes that kind of gives me some comfort but I will say one more thing you know I never asked anybody to like my videos or comment on my videos or share them because like I said I mean we all we all adults here you know y'all y'all like what y'all gonna like I'm not gonna ask y'all to like nothing but last night I was really really going through it so I decided to post a little Memorial on Instagram for my brother and I just posted a photo and then I went to sleep and when I woke up in the morning and I checked that photo and I seem to have 12 000 likes and almost 2 000 comets from a lot of y'all who don't know me personally and I just read through I'm reading through all the comments and everybody's wishing me condolences and I understand that a lot of y'all don't know me personally let me hold it together a lot of y'all don't know me personally but a lot of y'all kind of do like we've been on YouTube I've been on YouTube really for almost 15 years somebody sent me a real message on saying that they've been following me since they was 13 years old not in college that's a long time so you know and that happens when you when you follow somebody and you like somebody an online personality you watch a lot of videos before and you know you interact with them on Instagram and Facebook and Twitter and all that after a while it seems like you actually know that person especially somebody like me who interacts with my subscribers I you know y'all be sending me wedding photos and when your kid gets when you have a brand new baby y'all play your floors I just had a baby uh you know you know we interact with each other so I don't really want to go off on a big tangent right now but I really did just want to say thank you to everybody who reached out me to reached out to me right now because I don't know if y'all know this or not but I'm not even gonna pull up any pictures right now because I did not I might lose it again but my big brother was really one of my best friends you know like we had this crazy sibling rivalry and y'all know y'all heard me mention his name all the time every time I get a new Android phone he's the first person to come on my channel and on me you know what I'm saying but in a friendly way so you know I've just been like really going through it but I'm gonna try to fight my way through it and put some content out this week because like I said for me this is really therapy but again from the bottom of my heart I want to thank all of y'all who took time out of your busy schedules to go in like one of my posts that have nothing to do with check for my brother who none of y'all really knew in person and I know a lot of y'all don't care who care you know it's all about tech but for the people who did and the people who do again I just want to thank y'all that means a lot to me and I ain't gonna forget that I'll see y'all in the next video\n"
