I hope this design doesn't fade away. It might be boring overtime, but practicality wins here! Front facing speakers and that majestic headphone jack plus SD card slot are the best combo for a perfect smartphone! ❤

Xperia 1V user here - these are the most underrated phones. Sony ftw

I love Sony Xperia because of their uniqueness! Love from the loyalty Xperia user Malaysia!!!!

I used many Xperia devices and I absolutely loved them. I wish sony comes back in the Indian market.

Honestly, I love that Sony makes a phone with no intrusion to the display, you forget the bezels and you can enjoy content in the dark with no notch or punch hole getting in the way. I'm I saying that each phone manufacturer should borrow a leaf from Sony and do the same, no, because to each there own. I'm just glad Sony solves this 1% dilemma conundrum for the users who hate those egregious notches and punch hole cut outs getting in the way of their content.

Don't forget the audio quality of sony phones. It has been always high resolution, best for years. For many years, since walkman they were ahead, until today.

They're ahead in all innovations, i experienced it through the years. Everytime i see an innovation. Sony had it at least 3 to 7 years before.

When you are in it, you just feel love, you became loyal

Their design, android menu, smooth, timeless and sharp. Talking about Flagships. There are classes for different consumers, but flagships are beautiful pieces.

You as a user, can see what others are missing.. also with the ups and downs, you stay loyal, because you know the nation and the minds behind the phones and products. Things you just respect. Its the quality

I like the bezzels, no compromise for the front camera on display.

How unlike Sony to be so for the consumer with this hardware. This is a delightful surprise.

You deserve much more attention!

That video quality is basically on par with the biggest tech reviewers!

I can praise enough the ability to have an sd card it's amazing I wish more brands would do that

[dimejoe]

Salute just for including the 3.5mm jack🎉

[themotofixery]

Thank you Sony for keeping the SD card, headphones jack, and large battery. I wish updates would be longer though. I just ordered one so I'll give sony a try. No more samsung for me, at least for now.

I'm a Sony fan for a long time.
Can't beat the build quality and always stands out from the crowd.
I have an Xperia 1 IV with the 4k display, it's 3 year's old and it's in a top notch condition, and still better specs than the latest iPhone

[simonrockstream]

Finally someone makes a phone without stupid gimmicks, terrible design choices etc. So tired of having a goddamn hole in my screen, down facing speakers, NO headphone jack, no sd card, literally wtf. Thank god for Sony, people are so brainwashed these days its truly depressing. This phone should be #1 in the whole world. THIS should be THE STANDARD.

wanna see a bug that Sony hasn't fixed since the first xperia?

set double tap to wake on, prevent accidental operations on. lock the dislay and the phone. then cover the proximity sensor with something and double tap the screen, press ok if the "prevent accidental operations..." pops on screen and then drag down with the finger until the quick settings become accessible and touchable. yes, this happens in the pocket. I often get my 1 iv out of the pocket with the screen on, heated up, drained battery, in airplane mode or with bluetooth off, in emergency calls menu etc. it's horrible. but it doesn't end here.

activate the AOD as always on and set off the double tap to wake. you will see that double tap to wake still works if the AOD in always on.

Your aspect ratio is absolutely incredible. Fits perfectly on the iPhone 15pro max. Never had ever on any phone till now

Love this comment. Have to appreciate Sony's robust but elegant design. Everything about their phones is aimed at the purist/enthusiast. Their cameras prioritize raw photography and compatibility with a full size sensor. They will sacrifice trendy design to make sure they have good stereo speakers. I may just have to get one

6:50 And that's the way to go. A real flagship phone should capture the most realistic, most detailed photo from a smartphone possible, down to the intrinsic colors of the subjects, not dialing the saturation to 11. Same for video, I cherish phones that record video with a constant exposure, just like in the real world. Constant white balance, stabilization, name it. That is a true flagship in my book.

As a lifelong Sony user starting from Xperia Arc to 1 Mark VI, Sony is pretty much underrated and under the radar. Only those in the know appreciate its quality and features. I can't think any better phone than this.
