This is one of the strangest smartphones that I've come across in the last 10 years. It appears to do almost ALL that we want on paper with a headphone port, a micro SD card slot for storage expansion, IP 68 weatherproofing, and stereo speakers. But for some reason, the company seems to fall at any given opportunity to make an almost perfect phone. Sony dropped the ball with its Xperia 1 IV and today we're talking about that. Is it still worth it?

I used Xperia z1 and it is the worst phone I’ve used until now, from camera optimisation that makes the photo worse than a 150$ phone on that point of time to overheating issues which made me forced to use speaker for talking in phone there is nothing good I can remember about the phone even the beautiful design is crap as it got bend after a month only. Sony deserved it downfall and I’m happy about it.

Sony as a phone maker is still stuck in the pre-covid era. That explains all the available features that almost no other brand offers these days, and the software experience is still a travesty when some of the biggest Android phone makers are now promising many years of quality software and security updates with as little wait time as possible. Another problem they can't seem to fix is the pricing - their phones are always priced 1-2 tiers above every other phone with very similar specs, which means you will always find a better phone for the same money. At that point you'd really have to weigh how much you value the niche features Sony offers in exchange for that 1-2 tier above pricing.

I recently managed to pick up the Xperia 5 V, as a c grade with a few scratches, but nothing serious, (the current latest model in the 5 lineup, so far), for £385 from a fairly nearby CeX. Whilst it's not the most perfect device in the world, I love it nonetheless. As you mentioned, the performance, 3.5mm port, and SD card slot is well worth it if I'm honest. I'm definitely having to get used to the camera tuning again, but I've been able to get some truly stunning photos from older generations of the "modern" Xperia 5 lineup. Being able to have a slim, compact phone with a great battery, older features not seen on other devices anymore, and a pretty great looking screen makes it well worth grabbing and using, even with it's quirks. Regardless, great video as always :)

Have a forum fitting ringke case, lens and screen protectors on the way in the mail. I've accepted that this is the best combination/compromise. 60-70gb for uncompressed music and the rest for the camera and apps etc. I think we need to start accepting what is the best option for quality wired music, relatively compact phone and extended support.

I had a Sony Xperia XZ3 back in 2019. Had always wanted to try a Sony phone, and I really liked some of their design philosophy, so I even went out and bought the international version which had two extra gig of RAM. However, the software experience, despite being nearly stock Android, was never that great and I always seemed to have one issue or another. Ended up switching to a Pixel 5 about 18 months later and the software was just so much better sorted. Even though the Sony had fantastic hardware (for the time), the software experience on the Pixel just blew it out of the water, and I've stuck with the Pixel lineup ever since (went to the Pixel 7 Pro two years later, and just got a Pixel 9 Pro a couple of weeks ago).

@orangeyellow-me1pz 19 часов назад

Yeah, different strokes for different folks. I have never used that phone you mentioned from 5 going on 6 years ago but I know the feeling. I used a Pixe 6 & 7a and they were easily the worst phones I've ever had. They overheated every morning during my commute. They overheated at night even when it was raining; leaving me stranded in the wrong part of town, they had poor cellular modems so they'd also drop signal during navigation or a call when on certain parts of the highway which none of my other older phones did. It forced me to carry a back up phone from 2017 for whenever it decided to randomly screw up. It also had very middling performance, thanks to the bad Samsmsung fabricated soc. So, I get it.

@damiromerbegowitz2374 7 часов назад

I get it, its such a refreshing design, such an amazing prospect, wonderful battery, build quality, headphone jack, SD slot and so forth, but cmon... That 1080p screen which is perfectly OK but for the money - 4K is a must, then camera software and hardware and talk about the presentation, what you get in the box... Geez. If its half the price it is selling for - its a perfect phone. At this price, for what you get... Hell no, not even close.

@Narukiko День назад

Sony phones are hard to recommend in general due to price when it was brand new, and the software update lifecycle lasting for 2-3 years worth of Android version upgrade. I'm fine with 3 years but opting for 4-5 years of software support lifecycle would be better (or even better, 7 years of software updates) for an otherwise a very capable mobile photography powerhouse. I would opt for Sony if I am switching from my Redmi Note 10 Pro because I am extremely picky on my feature requirements, especially having a headphone jack. Xperia 1 VI would be my go-to choice if I have money to pay for or I just wait for it showing up in the used market in a year or two for an even lower price.

Sony have literally spent the last 10 years ignoring mobile computational photography. That is why it has been unable to compete with any of the top tier android manufacturers on phone cameras. They are also a company riddled with beauacracy that stops them making any meaningful visual changes to their handsets and defining a design style to their phones that would create interest from the public. Not to mention a complete lack of advertising or awareness in most markets.

@@jannovotny4797 I'm talking about that semi-curve they put at that top and bottom. It doesn't wrap around the device but the 4 corners of the display look like they were supposed to be straight/boxed out, then Sony decided to put just a splash of roundness to it.

@@Danielalternate32 I've hardly ever seen it on anything but a Sony device and I've owned lots of different phones, and watch a lot of phone reviews. I'm about to upgrade from a Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, that quite obviously was going for a curve on the edges, to a S24 Ultra that is completely boxed. Maybe it's just Me but it looks like Sony always chooses this weird looking middle ground between the 2 designs.

The features are good (particularly the high quality headphone socket and SD card slot) but the aspect ratio is an abomination. I'm sick and tired of skinny-ass phones that make doing anything text-based a nightmare (because line lengths are so short in portrait, and you can barely fit the keyboard and one line of text in landscape). Bring back 16:9 and I would buy it in a heart beat. I blame Samsung for starting this ridiculous trend.

The longer aspect ratio certainly provides better battery life while watching videos, whether it's good or not.

most of high end smartphone cameras are made by sony but sonys camera itself is crap this explains that post processing software or AI feature is absolutely the brain of camera output
