Couple of little updates/corrections - since the review went live - thanks to some insightful commenters. - There's a setting to prevent accidental fingerprint readings, where you need to press the button to activate it (thank you for this - so much better!) - Video setting in the Tele Macro mode CAN shoot 4K resolution (clearly had issues pressing that little icon in the testing period - guessing an accidental touch issue). Thanks so much for your input. 🫶

I had the Sony Xperia 1 III and now I have the Xperia 1 VI. Before that, I was a Samsung user. Sony is the only company that delivers all the features I want in a phone - so I don't really have any choice. Sony it is.

I'm still using the 1 mark iii and it's a beast the only real issue is the overheating

@orangeyellow-me1pz 4 дня назад

Isn't it sad? We don't have any other choice if we want flagship specs with the hardware features we love. I'm going to keep using my 1V until the wheels fall off and even then I'm going to repair it. I had an LG V60 and I regret selling it every day.

To prevent accidental unlocking on the fingerprint reader, go to settings, security, and select "press to unlock fingerprint" setting. That way the fingerprint reader only activates when you click the power button. I've been using the setting on my Xperia 5 V for a while and it works perfectly.

Old...wired headphones? I'm sorry but those of us that prefer quality over convenience can't stand Bluetooth. The math just isn't there for it to be able to compete with wired yet. Then you have to charge it and then sometimes, for no reason, it drops the signal and ruins your music listening experience. There are still new wired headphones being produced and they are better than Bluetooth. You can get excellent options at $20 (kz or moondrop all the way up to 50k from Sennheiser). There's a reason they don't use Bluetooth in music production.

I have pitched my tent with Sony from the days of Sony Ericsson till date but this is the first time I will NOT upgrade to their new phone even if it comes down to £500 'cause they deviated from what makes Sony phones Sony and downgraded everything we love and look forward to in their phones....🤷🏽 I'm currently using Xperia 1 V and when the updates end, I will look elsewhere except if Xperia 1 vii comes back to be......!

@oluolatunde342 4 дня назад

Very objective review! I have S24 Ultra, but Sony 1 Vi has all the other features lacking in most flagship phones today. So, I will keep it!

@PeterEk31 4 дня назад

With an Samsung S22 Ultra I don't see Sony good enough to be worth spending money at, same as I see Samsung S24 Ultra haven't advanced enough from the S22 Ultra to be worth putting so much cash at. So I will wait 1 more year. Sony should have better sensors in their phones, than they sell to Vivo and Xiami.

@eztokendemo108 4 дня назад

I don't say stuff like this but I REALLY hope this phone's sales FLOPS BIG TIME for sony. They first removed the notification LED in 1 V, now they downgrade the display to FHD+, not even 1440p all the while STILL increasing prices for each generation.

@michaelidowu1930 4 дня назад

You are absolutely right and know that you're not alone concerning this wish of yours cause Sony has disappointed us there fans and I have concluded within me that I will NOT buy this Xperia 1 VI. The current Xperia 1 V I'm using is far superior to it.... 🤷🏽

@lukeh6465 День назад

I did agree but I got the 1 vi on pre order and compared against my S22 ultra the screen image looked the same even though S22 ultra was on 1440p. It's the Bravia 1 billion colours replicating 1440p with less power. And I love know having 2 day battery life. So no complaints anymore for me

@konkurentLC 5 дней назад

That price is killing it. Currently have 1 VI and before that I tried every flagship phone available (Honor, Oneplus, Vivo, Xiaomi, Samsung) and only thing which is on top with Sony it's price. Yes, if someone insists on SD card and audio jack then don't have other options if want flagship device. Besides that there isn't any other features whis is better than on others phone, yes battery life is great, but it's great also on Oneplus 12 which is significantly cheaper and had better cameras (for me personally even better than S24U). Then there is Vivo x100 Pro with outstanding cameras and their FuntouchOS is basically like pure Android, sure better than one in Xperia. I literally can't find any other feature which Xperia have except battery life to find reason to keep this phone...

@orangeyellow-me1pz 4 дня назад

I've seen Sony crank out better pics than the phones you mentioned and even my Pixel 7a but I don't know anything about photography and only went with the Sony Xperia V because of the SD slot and headphone jack. The 4K screen was just the icing on the cake. The battery life and health is better than OnePlus' offerings but that is to be expected given the price difference. Funtouch OS is nothing like stock. I've seen that heavily skinned interface. You might like or prefer it but it is far from stock.

@PeterEk31 4 дня назад

I want to see a shootout between Samsung S24 Ultra, Sony 1VI and Vivo X100 Ultra in auto mode all lenses and video zoom and nightlife. I am pretty sure Sony will struggle more in different situations when not using the main camera.

@alanc6416 2 дня назад

The most appealing thing about this phone, supposedly is the camera zoom. However, I've tried it in their shop and the image quality just isn't appealing at all. I'd rather just get an ai enhanced 5x zoom instead. I'd really wish Sony would release their RX100viii with the features of this phone, with or without the phone part, that would be awesome. Please Sony, update your RX100Viii

This phone needs still big portion of updates. Video is worse than recorded with mark V, lacking sharpness. OS has weird lag while changing refresh rate. Fingerprint scanner is poor. Was testing it for a week and decided to not keep it at the moment. What was amazing is battery life and super tele macro mode

@@orangeyellow-me1pz in addition, here are my thoughts after testing S24U and Xperia. Needs to decide which to keep :) : Xperia Audio: more bass, less spacious, Battery: drop during the night only 1% Indoor photos (gray conditions): less noise, more sharp outcome. White balance rather cool, whole shoot is sharp. Indoor photos (dark conditions): much less noise, much sharer outcome, better highlights management S24U Audio: much more specious sound, with slightly less bass. Battery: drop during the night by 3% Indoor photos (gray conditions): more noise, sharpness present in the center of the shot, little green tint, more warm white balance Indoor photos (dark conditions): much more noise, photo is sharp in the center, worse highlights management

I have two such phones, the only serious problem is recording video in unnatural lighting, the phone reproduces colors incorrectly, there is no way to change it, and the video in such light is not sharp. I'm waiting for the opportunity to record in pro mode. Until then, this phone is not suitable for recording such materials
