Sony Xperia 1 VI full review 

+ smaller ideal size.

Yes that is good, just wishes that they had better cameras like 1 inch sensor and way better zoom. The night video show that it really have problems with reflexions and underpreform. If the camera system was better i would be interested, but the phone isn´t good enough to buy for a Samsung S22 Ultra user. So waiting 1 more year to see if something is worth to upgrade to.

Haha worse design ever no 21:9 no 4k at this price not even 1440p no curved display

Battery capacity ... Charging speed... Display quality... etc. etc. In the terms of LOOKS and DESIGNS... SONY is SONY .....😲😳☺️👍🏻

Fat phone Sony needs diet 😆

It's a bad phone. Cool tablet.

@@Oldasianguy a cool camera that can take phone calls*

@@zhao6214 it barely does that. They've never worked well. Carriers don't like Sony phones. Sony phones aren't good in USA.

@@Oldasianguy personally, I can't find anything bad about this phone except its price

@@diafwnia when's the last time you used a Sony phone

Overheating issues, mediocre camera, big bezels, less long term software support, lower resolution screen. But very unique

@@JavierSegura it’s been out for a day and you are talking about overheating. Let’s wait and see…

@@JavierSegura other than less long term software support and lower resolution screen, what you're saying are assumptions. But hey, to each their own.

​@@JavierSeguraI don't see overheating issue anymore from some review. And you think 3 major update & 4 years security update is still not enough? Should all phones follow 7 years support like S24 Ultra?

@@Aprim7 Vor allem, Wer behält sein s24 Ultra 7jahre lang? Mit 99%iger Sicherheit niemand. Auch nur wieder Marketing.

v60 best phone I had ever

going to give it a go with Sony. as still no one full fills what LG was capable.

the moment my lg g8 dies im buying this

LG and Sony are literally the worst android manufacturers

Looks like 2018 Samsung A7 ;)

I guess we'll have to thank Ericsson as well for their partnership with Sony. That was the best times, now Sony is dead on arrival in the smartphone department

Xperia X1? I still have it, was a capable phone, but the keyboard was shit.

Yea cuz the tiny black dot on Samsung's phones is sooooo much bigger than that giant black bezel at the top of that Sony 🤡

@@VaunShiz bro thats the whole point lmfao cant you get what you read, put the cameras and speakers in the top and bottom bezel, not in the middle of the freaking screen 🤦🏻‍♂️

​@@VaunShizin not seeing any way for those bezels to affect what I'm seeing onscreen vs what the dot does. Also those bezels include front speakers which are always welcome.

​@@VaunShiz screens should never have dead pixel points period

and also cost only 2000$

Mine is 5 series

'NOT coming to the US Market'... Do Sony... NOT want to sell some of the best phones out there? Are they actually right in the head? 🤔 I mean... Things like:- - Announcing a 'Brand new' phone model, but NOT making available to buy for up to 6 months later... - Having some EXCELLENT hardware, but providing DISMAL OS/Security update life... - Said excellent hardware having FAR TOO COMPLICATED multiple camera app systems... - SERIOUSLY HEFTY price tags... And more issues besides... Sony phones COULD rise to become some of the most popular phones 'Out in the field' to rival the likes of Apple and Samsungs' offerings... IF ONLY they corrected the above issues (and a couple of others), and they COULD do it as they have what? 3 phone models (not like Samsung with their extensive A and S range phones)... Let us buy the phones SOON after announcing them, DROP the price to UNDER the 'Equivalent' Samsung, give them AT LEAST 4 years OS and a further 1 year Security update system, then, yeah, I'm pretty sure, they'll sell A LOT MORE of these phones so MORE people can enjoy such things as the great screens and FRONT FIRING PROPER STEREO loud speakers that DO make a difference in viewing content (I remember the days of my Motorola Google Nexus 6! With its 6" Quad HD display and front firing stereo speaker set up... I miss those days.. What do we have now? Mid to tinny left earpiece speaker and full range but firing away from you bottom right speaker... 😒 As Michael Fisher (MrMobile) says - "When phones were fun".. 😏 😎🇬🇧

​@@thedarkknight1971The phone is available at swifttronics for 1170 USD. Available now.

@@thedarkknight1971does that include Canada as well or just the US ?

@@Juanguar Not 100% but, from what I read, just US. However... Doesn't stop anyone buying/ 'unofficially' importing one into the US/Canada etc, BUT... The buyer would HAVE TO ensure that the phone would be compatible with their specific country's 4G/5G bands/frequencies etc...

@@thedarkknight1971 yeah I’m familiar with gray market imports Hopefully won’t be needing to do all of that

There are other resolutions besides UHD and FHD though. 1080 is just so low for a $1300 flagship. They should've gone QHD.

​@@forresthopkinsa1080 ? This phone is worth 400$ at best. Of the display was 4000nits full displays it would be worth the tradeoff but there are many phones at are both brighter and higher resolution while being cheaper

How they gonna upgrade a 1080 screen to better resolution with software? besides, 1400ish€ for a 1080p screen and mediocre performance plus throttling when theres, for example, a nubia z60 ultra with much better specs for less than 1000 bucks

every other 1440 phone has an option to go down to 1080. how the fuck is no 1440 a good thing?

@@bbilman0561440p is a bastard resolution No video has this resolution It shouldn’t exist

Don't slap on a 1080p screen and call this a flagship phone, than charge flagship prices onto it. Whoever is the lead designer or marketing team needs to be bitch slapped for thinking its a good idea to downgrade the screen.

While it's true that removing the 4k screen feels like a downgrade if you're coming from the V like me, I wasn't happy the V had a 4k screen in the first place. As expected the battery drain is quite high and to be honest in 90% of the cases i can't even see a difference between 4k and 1080p on this screen. So going down to 2k is a no-brainer

I didn't understand 4k it still has buddy it is written

The reason is not that they got rid of 4k screen, but because some of them loved 21:9 aspect ratio, and most of them are shocked by the move not to a standard flagship 2k-3k resolution, but to a budget phone level 1080p screen, that is too low for a 1500 euros flagship phone.... such pathetic resolution should be on 10 VI or 5 VI, never on 1 VI....

​@glebpalchin6809 the 4K screens weren't even running 4K 90% of the time. If u check AIDA 64, it'll still show 1080p resolution rather than 4K on previous Xperia 1s

@@thedarkknight1971 I also don't understand their market strategy. It is a costly phone. So reaching out to more markets and providing better software upgrade duration will help them increase sales. But I use it and find it pretty good. Whatever updates they published, they were prompt. The 3 separate apps doesn't bother me. I love the video viewing experience. In fact I watch all my netflix, prime etc. in it and find them enjoyable.

I agee and im still on my 5ii. They should have giving that nice 48mp double stacked lens to the 10 vi too and a normal selfie. And then with the 5 vi they should have giving a normal 80mm zoom lens again. Then it would make sense to me. The 10 vi misses the boat too in my opinion. Cant use 8mp cameras anymore these days. For the 1vi it might make sense that they use a different aspects ratio cause of the zoom machenism that maybe needs more space in the phone itself. But lets see. Im really curious of the 5 vi. I do want to save money to buy a 5 series again. Nonetheless that are still improving and now even give the 3 year os updates gives me a sense of "okay we are here to stay for a longer while" feeling. So that might be good.

if 19 :9 is even better

Lol

21:9 4K is better Sony downgraded for no reason it's Samsung and Apple need upgrade to 21:9 4K

Get off RU-vid. Go work.

@@thedarkknight1971 Motorola Google Nexus 6 was an awesome phone! Had it too and great picture were surprisingly good... when there was plenty of light.

Yeah FD isn't amazing but im guessing it's for that 2 day battery life?

​@@LukasGroundsThat and the new battery tech, plus the underclocked chipset. Good for Sony though, these phones aren't meant for gaming anyway. Having a Magic 6 Pro, I almost wish I had the Xperia instead, just because of how impressive a lot about it is, minus the Sony price and dissatisfying charge rate. Oh well, it lasts twice as long as the S24 Ultra.

@@LukasGrounds maybe, but the OnePlus 12 lasts two days with 2k 120Hz, so there's no excuse. I think it's just the compromise that Sony has chosen. All brands make some cuts, and here it's the FHD panel.

True

Amen to that. I fully agree

Yup. Considering that price range. Arguably, they could have just optimized the phone. Their only problem was not optimizing their phones.

dude it helped in battery life it is literally the battery king now

1080 and 2K are the same thing. The actual screen resolution is 1080x2340, while 1080 video is 1920x1080.

​@@bandrew8040Because resolution isn't everything, and I'm saying this while maining a Magic 6 Pro which also never had 1440p. Seriously, do you want battery or struggle with the already dissatisfying charge rate? You certainly don't want both sacrifices.

No they aren't . Most people don't care about headphone Jack's or sd card slots. Also 1080p at this price is disgraceful.

Only 3 years of os updates. Sony is trash.

1V did sell better than the iv and iii I expect this to do even better or at least i hope so

More like hardly sell due to that shit screen

Not gonna happen until they are providing the adapter in the box and 90 min for a full charge. Seriously!!!

they just killed themselves with the 1080 screen. this thing has to compete with the s24 ultra.

They fcked up with 30W charging, my xiaomi mi 9 have it and its a phone from 2019! Also why no 512GB in Europe?
