I prefer minimal bezels over a crap holepunch or notch interfering with my media. It's the shutter bug, audiophile dream phone.

Sony Xperia series is a phone not for everyone, so all kinds of video with cons and pros, I watched them and weighs it down base on my daily use. So definitely, Xperia series is an acquired taste.

Some of them prefer Apple, Samsung or Pixel. So there's that.

The problem with Sony is their software. They charge a premium for a phone that is quickly forgotten when a newer one comes out. They keep gatekeeping features and the Auto mode leaves a lot to be desired.

Despite all the disappointing reviews and videos I've seen about the Sony Xperia, I still want to get it, it's one of a kind.

honestly the blurry periscope cam is something more reviewers should have brought attention to. thanks for not cutting that part out. absolute dealbreaker for people who cant crisp shots

Hi, I'm from Russia. Sony phone sales are stopped here due to the political situation. Youtube is blocked too.
But I tried my best and purchased Xperia 1 VI 12/512 a few days ago. I wanted a Japanese 16/512 version, but decided to buy this.
I'm always glad like with all Sony phones) I'm writing a comment from my previous Xperia 5 V. It was a bit weak for mevl in some places, though I had it for a yearly everyday usage .

As a Sony Xperia 1V owner,
I can say, that this is the first time in my life I’ve used a phone with such a buggy OS!!!
It’s honestly incredible how it’s even possible, that Sony this technological giant, that usually manages to strike the golden middle with its products could create such an expensive phone with so many bugs.
There’s hardly a single OS-related function that works smoothly!
Now please, let me ask you something else:
What do you imagine when you hear “Sony” combined with “Zeiss” in the context of cameras ?
Personally, I imagine quality from another dimension = mind-blowing quality !!!
Well, you are definitely NOT going to get that — at least when it comes to the Sony Xperia 1V & 1VI❗
What you will get is a complicated camera app. and the final result will leave you seriously questioning the money you spent versus what you’re actually getting in return.
Long story short:
It’s great, that Sony broke away from the cartel agreement with the inclusion of the 3.5mm jack, the display without a hole and the support for memory cards.
Unfortunately, these conveniences come at the cost of
an absurdly high price,
a shockingly buggy OS
and very average cameras that deliver quality you'd expect from a phone worth €250 - 300€

Sony just announced a revamped Camera app. Would you be willing to update it to see if the complaints have been addressed? Cheers!

They only need to extend software support to at least 5 years for the 1 series.
Theyre charging top dollar for that device and yet it has software support equal or worse than phones that cost 3-4 times less.

Auto mode does leave things to be desired. Im sure Sony could figure out some image processing algorithm that can be as good as Vivo and Xiaomi even.

The problem is if they are willing to go all in on good software. Considering Sony's mobile division is quite small, it might be too much of a risk.

All this is true. Recently got a sony xperia 1 vi and compared to my 4 years old, heavy used note 20 ultra, it's hard to tell a difference. In fact the note 20 is a bit betrer at max zoom including digital. Also the note 20 has 960 fps slow mo. In pro mode, the sony is a bit better and has 6400 iso vs the note 3200 iso. On paper the sony screen is 50% brighter but in feels more like 20% brighter. Battery life is where the sony is way better but the note has the s pen and note software which is pretty good. I was also surprised to see again and again that the note 20 ultra with 4 years of apps ibstalled booted up slightly faster than the fresh sony. Sovfor me it boils down to sony better battery life and brighter screen vs note 20 s pen . Also love the tools less sim tray on the sony

According to rumors by a trustworthy poster, the next Xperia 1, the Mark VII, will get updated zoom and wide angle cameras with both sporting a new 1/2.3 sensor which has the same 2-Layer Transistor technology like the main camera sensor.

Whatever it is I love this phone so unique...

[namelesssnitchy]

Great phone. i almost buying it. although i think i wait until the next line up is coming out. i hope the 5 vii will be small again like the 5ii (which i had before) and then with a telelens or so. if they dont make that 5 then i might buy this 1 vi.

[RamlyJer]

The camera is on par with the iPhone with natural look and flat pictures, the difference is the iphone camera has built-in over sharpening meanwhile the Xperia has no sharpening at all.

[dariusmarian]

Sony needs to understand that people need MORE PHONE not a manual android poket camera 😑

[coldtail]

You should know what you're getting before getting the phone not the other way around. They really not the phone for auto shots.

Imagine you get their own Camera technology and software from their expensive digital cameras. That's where the value of this phone has. That is also why most of their reviewers are Professional Photographers who often use Manual mode on photos and videos.

[MrModikoe]

4:06 It doesn't have autofocus?? for $1300🤦

[gouthambolt]

I am into manual photos. So can xperia 1 vi help me take better photos than Xiaomi 14 ultra?
