I've had my Xperia 1 mark ii for over three years now. It's been a fantastic phone and it still works perfectly. But the mark V looks like it has a lot of hardware and feature upgrades to now warrant an upgrade.

Great initial impressions video, and I look forward to some more in depth reviews. In addition to camera tests, I'd love to see a walkthrough of the software and UI. Thank you for this first impressions! So appreciated! 🙂

Hello Basil, found you again after a long time and wow it got me so nostalgic. It made me recall the good old days when mobile devices were far more exciting, diverse and innovative. Gone are the good old days of HTC ones, the Lg Gs, however, I am glad that Sony is not only still here but it also dares to be different for some legit reasons. Might I suggest that you bring back those audio comparisons etc. You used to do back then. They offered a kind of structure and reference that allowed the viewer to get a better idea of what to look for and where to look for. Please do keep it up 👍🏽

This is the phone that might finally convince me to switch away from Apple to an Android phone.

My man basil i miss your old comparison videos so much. Phones really were special back then. Glad youre back

Is beautiful how Sony keeps tradition and puts usability first on hardware and software. The camera button, dual front speakers, gripping materials, the dynamic focus, no notch etc.

Just got this phone. Still bummed they axed the LED notification light. Everything is amazing

Good video. But, I don't think you have to worry about a larger sensor making autofocus faster --- expect perhaps in very low-light scenarios. Most of the time, the larger the sensor, the slower the read out speed. There's a pretty good chance that Sony opted for a smaller, stacked sensor in order to make autofocus snappier than it would have been with the larger sensor some others are using.

The biggest letdown for me on my 5 IV was the seemingly lack of care that went into the basic photo mode. Has the software gotten better for point and shoot? I know Pixel will always be the king of that in terms of software processing.

Hi Basil, great video. Did you notice any change in speaker or audio relative to mark 4? Is the new amp in mark 5 a noticeable step up? Thanks!

🎥👍 Good to see you back. Nice overview and look forward to your indepth review. The cameras look impressive and would like to know how well the battery truly copes when out in the field.

[JustXavier]

Whoah!!! I remember you from YEARS ago. I thought you were out of the game. Good to find you again man!

[mahendrannadarajah]

Welcome back. How is the phone security?

[SonyEnthusiast]

Great, BUT SONY SHOULD BRING BACK THE NOTIFICATION LED!! I actually use it

[JoeGillian]

Hello Basil.
It s good to have you back.
There is no doubt Xperia 1 V is superior to IV, but what do you think of its battery life compared to 1 IV again? Thank you.

Awesome one weeks review as always Sir

The best way of reducing cost and improve heating is by Sony replace the new the processor to Mediatek, lower cost and better performance. It’s an amazing phone.

A major complaint i have with Sony smartphones is their screen ratio. Even though the display is very good, it is too narrow for me. I would have prefered it to be slightly wider.
