Should You Buy the Sony Xperia 1 VI? Maybe, Maybe Not...

Should you buy the new Sony Xperia 1 VI? The Sony Xperia 1 VI is the latest phone from Sony and is one of the most upgraded phones I've seen in years but it's not available in the United States, which means you'll have to import it or wait for online retailers, and it's expensive. Should you buy the new Sony Xperia 1 VI?

I don't care about 4K display. Already ordered mine here in the UK.

Looks like Sony did NOT disappoint with the Xperia 1 VI's display: although they clearly stated in their ads and launch video that it has "FHD+", upon research it turns out 2048x1080 is NOT "1080p", but rather "native" DCI 2K. It is "official cinema resolution" and like the Xperia 1's of the past still true to its cinema roots. Sony should've called it that instead of the smartphone and TV term of FHD+. Farewell 4K, but this should make it more mass-appealing. Well done Sony. 👏

Why I believe Sony left USA. We are so critical - comment section reads like a bunch of critical trolls. Like: "I was going to get it but ..." and "I hate the new ... " and "Sony CEO is ..." Many comments are so rude and very rude to Japanese culture. I think maybe you drove Sony out - and they left your rude comments behind. So sad, as I was so looking forward to this new model, but will choose Xperia 1 V (Expandable SD, Headphone jack) as the replacement as Samsung who has turned from me/us.

The only thing the Xperia is missing is some connection to PlayStation. They didn't even showed some Remote Play functionality. I thought that they changed the aspect ratio of the screen for PlayStation remote play. If they want to grab the attention of the casual consumers they should offer some exclusive playstation features and market that. Why no exclusive legal Psone/ ps2/psp/vita emulator for Xperia with a Psstore to buy the classic games from for the phone.. Hook up a ps5 controller and start playing...

There is this promotion in Switzerland: When you buy an Xperia 1 VI (1399 CHF) you get the WH-1000XM5 for free

[Chrain]

I'm upgrading from 1 II to this. They give you a pair of headphones with each pre-order (I think WH-1000XM5, which they cost over 300 euros).

I've seen no review saying anything bad for the screen and on a 6.5 inch screen 4k is nice but gimmicky.

[Iam_tthompson]

So basically this would be the best phone of 2024 if it would have kept the 4k screen and available in the USA.

1080p does feel bad but reduced battery life is something everyone will notice, and reduced resolution is not.

Hey Tech Odyssey, would be really great if you could kindly get hold of the 1 VI very soon after release to test and compare against the 1 V and even the Pro I if possible and making a video for us in doing that 👍🏼

Also, maybe give us a new video on the 1 V's OS and camera system/UI upgrades after the latest software updates being installed 👍🏼

I bought it from Hong Kong
Wondamobile site Global version
512 gb 1400 dollar
It is not officially sold in my country, so I always buy Sony phones from other countries Through my experience with Xperia 1v was working with 5g and volte I didn't have a problem with that
So I'm excited for Xperia 1vi Wait for it to arrive to try it. It will ship on May 25

Probably gonna stick with my US 1V and wait till the xperia 1 VII, Sony is sure to realize they let a lot of people down this round, and up the resolution, update front facing cam, give us a US model.

I'm in the UK and have been waiting for the xp1m6 to be released but I'm still not sold on it, I can deal with the screen and resolution changes but I wanted something better than 30w charging out of the box (well not literally as I would have to buy a charger) and I would of like to have seen the UW camera go to 24MP. It is worth noting however that if you preorder here you get a pair of xm5s for free. I think I'm going to hope they release a xp5m6 later in the year if I'm honest.

[thebamatechguy]

I would love to have SD card support on flagship android devices...I'm debating whether to buy this device it would be my first sony

[jedolivier]

The lack of updates is a turn off for me personally.

[WaffleusRex]

I'm tempted to get it over the Pixel 9 Pro, especially since I'm probably getting a Pixel Fold 2 anyway. I've seen some videos of the results of the new auto mode and it's pretty dang good.

[benjaminvdvyt]

The resolution is imo a good choice, everyone complaints about battery life, but almost no one (incl manufacturers) is willing to sacrifice. They did that here, which I think is great.
I disagree with the no 120hz. They could've just added it and gave like 3 options, 60hz max, 120hz, and 120hz during like games.

[CadStr]

you can buy trough Amazon or any other trusted online store, 1080p=better battery life

[nocturnallips]

Im wondering if sony has a different varient or a different phone coming to the u.s.

[ChiefBrianIrons]

Its available for preorder on Amazon uk now also comes with wh-1000xm5 head phones as well which cost over 300 so not bad. Personally wait another year before I upgrade

[DogStreet]

If i import the hong kong version here to the US, Would it work with my Verizon sim?
