PREMIUM PRO PHONES!
Why compare with a couple auto HDR shots? These two monsters are built for a higher tier of content creation! It’s time for a showdown! How does the Sony stack up against my favorite creator phone of the year? Continue reading “Sony Xperia 1 II vs LG V60: Pro Camera Fight!”
2019 was a strong year for Sony hardware. The Xperia 1 and Xperia 5 showed off a new skinny form factor, a bold new design which still echoed the hard-edged rectangular DNA of classic Xperias. I was very taken with this approach in my X5 review.
