The launch of the new dual layer sensor inside the Sony Xperia 1V (preorders at Amazon and BHphoto) was accompanied by some big claims from Sony. Like: “noise and dynamic range that is equivalent to a full-frame camera“. I have looked on the web to see if someone made a real test on this and I found nothing.
The only comparison video I found was made by DCfever. Here they compared the Samsung S23 Ultra performance with the new Xperia and the Sony is clearly ahead:
And this is Jason Vong statement on Twitter:
I am sure the Xperia 1V has the best camera on any smartphone today! And it’s good to know Sony is always ahead of the game. But I really find it nearly impossible from that the Xperia 1V can match the performance of my Sony A7rV. I believe there is some good marketing “wording” with lot’s of “asterisk” on this statement :)
