Sony Xperia 1 V

The Sony Xperia 1 V is a unique smartphone that packs advanced features in its camera department. The device boasts a fresh new XMOR T sensor, which is 1.7 times larger than last year's flagship phone, resulting in better low-light performance and excellent color reproduction. While it excels in capturing natural colors, the dynamic range could be stronger. The primary sensor delivers impressive results, with vivid subjects and pleasant contrast. However, capturing stunning bright blue skies is a challenge for this camera. The addition of an ultra-wide-angle snapper (16mm XMOR RS) is useful but not particularly special. The telephoto shooter (85-125mm Exmore RS) allows up to 15.6 times zoom but struggles in bright light and softer indoor conditions. The Cinema Pro app provides full control over focus, sensor selection, and settings for video recording. It can shoot Ultra HD footage at up to 120 frames per second with all three lenses, offering impressive flexibility. However, colors and detail levels may suffer when switching outside of the main sensor. In terms of general usage, the Xperia 1 V feels like a well-rounded smartphone, with a comfortable design, decent battery life, and snappy performance. The device offers plenty of storage options through micro SD cards and expandability is available, which is a plus. However, it misses out on some key flagship features like wireless charging. Overall, the Sony Xperia 1 V is a step up from last year's model, offering excellent camera capabilities for those looking for DSLR-style controls or point-and-shoot performance. It's worth considering, especially for creators who want more flexibility in their smartphone. The device's price tag may be steep (over £1000), but it's an impressive offering nonetheless.

vivo v40E

The Vivo V40E is a mid-range smartphone that boasts an impressive 5500 mAh battery capacity and 80W super fast charging capabilities. In this test review, we put the phone's charging speed to the test. With a fully dead battery (1% charge), we connected the phone to its 80W charger and let it run for 15 minutes, after which it reached 46%. The charging speed was remarkably fast, considering the phone's size and capacity. At 25 minutes, the battery had reached 67%, and by 35 minutes, it had climbed to 87%. The phone continued to charge quickly, hitting 96% by the 40-minute mark. After a further three minutes, the battery finally hit 100%. The entire charging process took just 43 minutes, a testament to the power of Vivo's 80W super fast charging technology. In our test conditions (21°C room temperature), the phone's charging speed was impressive, and we would expect similar results in everyday use. While the battery size is substantial, the phone's overall design is still sleek, with a glass back and plastic frame, featuring dual cameras and a 50MP primary sensor. While this review focused solely on the battery charging test, it's clear that the Vivo V40E has plenty to offer, including its speedy charging capabilities. If you're in the market for a mid-range smartphone with impressive specs, the Vivo V40E is definitely worth considering.
