Pratique du Shadowing: The Sony Xperia 1 Deserves Your Attention - Apprendre l'anglais à l'oral avec la vidéo

So here's an exciting one.

For me, I mean, I haven't looked at a smartphone from Sony in a very long time.

I couldn't even remember when Will asked me.

And it's kind of unfortunate because they've been in the game for a long time.

Not just a smartphone game, but the technology game, the gaming games, PlayStation, TV everybody wanted.

Once upon a time was the Trinitron.

I had the Minidisc player.

The Walkman changed the game for me and others.

It's like, I love to see Sony still doing it.

And especially when they've got a product like this one

which has been requested a lot by you guys I'm excited for it

because it's a different take unlike the other manufacturers

that are just going You know all in on this idea

of screen to body ratio They're like let's go with a

different aspect ratio Let's try to put as many pixels as possible into a six

and a half inch screen that anyone's ever done before Let's just have a different approach

so that's why I'm excited for this and oh I'm also excited

because they're doing a promo these are my favorite headphones in the world right now The WH -1000XM3, they're doing a deal where you get these for free when you order this.

That's an important thing to know about because this is not a cheap smartphone.

This is going to retail for $950 USD, so it puts it in that premium price tier, but if you want to lower the sting of that MSRP,

those are $350 noise -canceling headphones, and in my opinion, they're worth it.

I've used them for a while, and I love them, so if you were in the market for both of these things, you can imagine your price point on the smartphone having a

significant subtraction from a value perspective instead of having to spend $950

and another $350 you can look at the effective price of the phone going all the way down to $600 bucks.

I'll link Amazon down in the description if you want to check it out

but it should work at a number of different retailers on the pre -order currently.

Okay some specs on the back.

12 plus 12 plus 12 megapixel triple camera setup you got to have it this day

and age 2019 especially if you I want 900 bucks for a smartphone, 8 megapixel selfie camera, 4K HDR OLED display, 6 .5 inches.

That's got to be the highest pixel density I've ever looked at in a smartphone, I would say.

3330 milliamp hours.

Of course, we've seen devices 4 ,000 plus, so I'm not too excited about that.

Snapdragon 855 IP65 slash 68.

Okay, this could be the next smartphone that I switch to.

This could be my next experiment.

Might very well.

Which one did I get?

Oh, I got the purple one.

It's the Toronto Raptors purple one.

You see that, Jack?

Flip it over to the front, 21 by nine cinema wide.

So this brings us to the next hot topic, maybe the hottest topic with this particular smartphone.

You do not see 21 by nine smartphones.

That said, if you look at a service like Netflix, for example, they claim a significant portion of their content is in that aspect ratio.

For the time being, it's mostly cinema content in which you'll be able to watch the way it was originally intended.

Now, why would you want to go with this aspect ratio?

Well, what it allows you to do is have a 6 .5 -inch display, but in a form factor that you can hold super easy.

As you can see, it's not a reach for me.

It's just a confident grip.

It's a really interesting aspect ratio.

Could it be the future?

Quite possibly, but for now, it's one of the rare devices available as far as a smartphone is concerned.

We've seen it in monitors and things like that in the past.

Now, they also claim there's some Dolby Atmos going on in here.

I'll test the sound.

That's what I do.

USB Type -C connector on the bottom capable of fast charge, that's a must.

You have the speaker unit also in that location right there.

Over on this side of the device gets a bit fancy.

Actually, there's a few buttons here.

This is the interesting one.

It is a side -mounted fingerprint scanner, so nothing in display.

It's gonna be your more typical touch -based scanner.

You would be used to seeing this on the rear of the device on other smartphones.

A few of them have tried it on the side.

Sony's doing the same.

We'll see how that operates, see how that works in a moment.

Volume rocker above that.

That power switch below there, kind of weird that they're not both integrated into one, but I'm sure there's a good reason for it.

And then another switch down here on the bottom.

What is that?

Is that a dedicated camera switch?

That would be a nice location for it.

I'm not sure.

We're gonna have to wait a moment to find out on that one as well.

Look at that.

You remove the SIM card slash micro SD expansion tray without a tool.

What a bonus that is.

All right, before I boot up the device, Let's take a look at the rest of the contents of the package.

We have a little bit of paperwork, a headset with interchangeable ear tips, a microphone.

Here is your power brick.

What is this baby capable of?

18 watts of quick charge power.

That should be sufficient for most individuals.

Ooh, okay.

Little vibration.

It's so slim.

It's so comfy.

It's the ergonomics of a small size phone with the screen of a big size phone.

This feels like a Pixel 3 that just keeps going.

The screen looks incredible.

It's way more pixels than my eyes could ever possibly discern.

Will, can we get the pixel density on this?

643 ppi according to WillDo.

Alright, here we go.

We're gonna test the fingerprint.

It's on the side.

It's kind of a weird, it's a different location.

So, how's it gonna do?

100

How's it gonna fare?

101

So, fingerprint unlock on the side.

102

It's definitely not the fastest.

103

It feels a bit faster when you first press the power switch.

104

If you don't press the power switch, it takes a second.

105

I don't mind having it on the side.

106

I just wish it was a bit snappier.

107

Maybe I can turn off the animation.

108

Go into the settings.

109

I mean, it's so, it's very stock -ish.

110

They didn't get out of hand.

111

They didn't get wild.

112

They're like, alright, Android, it's pretty good.

113

We don't want to do too much, so it's almost pixel -esque.

114

They just didn't, they just didn't mess with it that much.

115

I mean, I see a couple things

116

that seem extra cinema pro wow it is an advanced 21 by 9 video capture

117

which is one of the most ridiculous things i've ever seen

118

on a smartphone i mean it's got a real pro vibe

119

to it audio levels you have hdr options codec you're shooting

120

in h265 battery level it's a focal length iso shutter speed

121

white balance daylight selection manual focus i mean it's not unwanted it's cool it's exclusive It's in line with their DNA.

122

I can live with that.

123

You can launch the camera quickly, swiftly, lift your device in landscape mode, aim the camera, and it'll be launched automatically.

124

Okay, that's cool.

125

Side sense.

126

You can take a photo or video by simply double tapping the sensor on the side of the screen.

127

I guess they mean the fingerprint sensor.

128

Okay, cool, got it.

129

Oh, this is a shutter button.

130

That's way cooler.

131

This, holding it like this, they thought about the ergonomics.

132

You hold it as a human would hold a camera, and it has the half shutter press for focus.

133

Half down, get the green.

134

Boom, pop the shutter. So simple.

135

It's a bit ridiculous.

136

Like, you could just tap the screen, Lou.

137

Relax.

138

Or you could use some other button.

139

A lot of phones use the volume down.

140

But I don't want a double function button.

141

You know, you see everybody?

142

Ah!

143

Like this?

144

The claws?

145

No, no, no. Humans.

146

Boom.

147

So here we go.

148

wide zoom standard zoom wide I mean it's pretty much what

149

you want let's watch a little video 16 by 9 content you're gonna get black bars it's YouTube

150

so you can zoom in actually not so bad the crop works completely fine

151

and let's get a sense for the audio performance here real

152

quick now there's another weird icon over there dynamic vibration it's like a boost of some kind but now

153

if i click on adobe atmos there's a few modes in

154

there by default dynamic attempts to identify the type of content

155

and then make the adjustment

156

but you also have movie music custom i'll leave it on

157

dynamic i think that's how most people will use it whoa

158

that is so weird it was like a harmony i think

159

that might be better for music to be honest it's a it's an odd experience it's harmonized

160

so it's like slightly the enhancement is slightly off you can

161

you can pick it up now as far as the speaker

162

is concerned it's your typical implementation most of the sound comes out of the bottom unit the main speaker grill

163

and a little bit of high end out of the earpiece generation flexible oled

164

which requires a very specific samsung goes

165

and creates this facility capable of other brands smartphones probably none more

166

so than apple's smartphones apple using a hundred million in OLED iPhone screens each year.

167

I would say volume is kind of comparable between the two.

168

This is the OnePlus 7 Pro, by the way, but I feel like there's a little bit more low end presence on the OnePlus

169

when it comes to dialogue.

170

Let's do a quick music test.

171

Do you want to see that comparison real quick?

172

Look at this.

173

So that's the OnePlus.

174

And look at how much skinnier.

175

I mean, maybe it doesn't seem substantial to you looking at that, but this is the extra, this is the tough part to reach with your hand when you're trying to reach the far end of the screen.

176

I'd say the OnePlus has the most bass.

177

The iPhone has the most clarity.

178

This one is the most high.

179

I will put these two closer together.

180

This one is a little, this one's below that.

181

I don't find it to be particularly offensive.

182

The thing is it does change quite a bit when you go in there and tweak the Dolby settings I mean, this is with Dolby off now,

183

but out of the box I'd say it's not quite as pleasing as these two other models Let's see

184

if we can find a 4k 21 by 9 video.

185

Whoa

186

I don't know

187

if it's gonna come through on camera I feel like I

188

have to bring it closer to you jack for you to

189

really get the right amount of detail This is gonna be

190

one of the best video watching experiences on a phone for a lot of people

191

that are on the go you end up consuming a lot

192

of content on your smartphone natively it's just hard to imagine a better experience than this

193

so there it is Xperia 1 from Sony finally a Sony device in the studio

194

and let alone like the most requested good on Sony for

195

creating the device that's captured the attention of you guys there's some things

196

that for me are promising right out of the box I

197

mean the display is obviously beautiful OLED lead all those pixels

198

unusual aspect ratio i like the dedicated switch for the cameras

199

which i'm gonna try out more i'm a little skeptical of the battery life though i will look into

200

that also i like the purple color somehow i didn't expect

201

that i'm gonna pop my sim card in here very shortly get to the bottom of it

202

but good on sony for sticking around

203

and at least capturing your guys attention up until now we'll see how pans out

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
