Sony Xperia 1 V: My Favorite Phone of 2023!

The Sony Xperia 1 V may not be the best overall smartphone of 2023, but it's MY favorite phone. I love the form factor, the cameras, the camera capabilities and production camera level accessories and sophisstication, the unique design, dedicated shutter button, 4K screen and much more!

I remember my old Sony Xperia Z3 and Z5, I loved their lens stabilization, which the latest generation phones can only dream of, and the fact that you could record videos in 120p until you ran out of memory and you could slow down to 8X the entire video, there was also a camera function that allowed you to connect to another Sony phone and allow you to view the camera and operate it, a great solution if you want to record a scene for a movie from different points of view at the same time

I just bought the S23 ultra based on the advice in your reviews. It replaced my iPhone 14.

Well said, sir. Great to see a YouTuber praising Sony Xperia. I wish more did so. Aside from the photo/video capabilities the multimedia experience is fantastic. Listening to Hi-Res audio through wired and wireless headphones with LDAC or aptX HD codecs is so rare on a phone these days and watching 4K movies with Dolby Atmos/TrueHD is an incredible viewing experience. I love my Xperia 1 V.

I have Xperia 1 IV and absolutely enjoy it!

I love Sony phones but the 2 years of updates really sucks

[heartofcinema]

Agreed. I am a blackberrier, so didn't want to go for the 2 big gaints. I love the quality and durability, it has a Japanese quality feel to it. Also, I mainly use phone for listening to music and it's great to have a jack. Btw still using a one year old blackberry key 2 le for work purposes!

Been rocking the Xperia 1v for about 3 months now. I'm loving it. Love the size, screen quality And over all experience.

I bought one in December after my 23 ultra stopped charging. Great decision! Better resolution, better speakers, I actually really like the aspect ratio and fingerprint sensor. Most of all is the camera. All that stuff about how hard it is to use is not true at all. It's fun to use and experiment and have full control over your pictures how you want them, not how some phone digitally makes them. I've used the slow shutter speed to capture a nice stream shot where I used motion blur on water. It's cool. Let's just say my S23 ultra is where it should be in my desk drawer. I should have tried this phone sooner and known better since I think Sony tvs are by far the best and only buy them, I should have given this a chance sooner

It's my fave too. It was a huge improvement over the pro I and more exciting than the titanium iPhone. I'm just sad all of the android 14 features didn't make it 😢

[ursojs]

It's my favorite, too....especially with the latest Android 14 update.

Xperia 1 Vl will be my first Sony phones when it’s up for sale this summer

[axineus]

Yea, the Xperia 1 V has grown on me. It is currently my daily driver! My S23U is just laying on my desk all sad and lonely since it no longer gets any attention. lol

My current favorite is the Pixel Fold but I really want to try out the Xperia 1 V. Very tempting to swap out the Pixel Fold for a Z Fold 5 and S23 Ultra for the Xperia.

The sensor on this phone is so great. Currently no other phone can beat that.

I have to say that I have admired the Xperia phones for years but been all in on Pixel since gen 2 and have essentially never been disappointed. But I'm also a Sony mirrorless shooter that travels a LOT and hate all the gear. Is this the phone that changes it all?

Almost! Like, so so close! I LOVE the software. I absolutely love the form factor. The dedicated shutter is so good. The camera app is also fantastic. Just as I expect from my Sony full frame.

But then I try to use the camera like I have for many generations on my Pixel, and the results are frustrating. How can such a phenomenal camera fail to snapshot? It's the easiest one, you'd think.

But it's not, if you really think about it. The environment is so varied, the computational smarts to get it right with no info is pretty daunting. And Sony's implementation is the Alpha experience on a pocket phone. That's incredible!

But then I try to get snapshots whenever. And the Xperia takes so much work to just get an impromptu photo to look right. I don't know if I can trust it.

That is the problem. I can't trust the camera.

Currently in the market for a new phone and this is the one phone i constantly am coming back to look at everytime.

[touthao]

I kept going back to the Sony Xperia I V, although the S23 U was the best phone of the year .

[muhammid]

Thank you very much I hope you have a happy New Year I'm looking forward to more of your reviews I love your channel I think you're very honest and your opinion to me matters thank you sir

It’s my favorite too because of the expandable storage and everything, but unfortunately it’s not on every market

[AutumnRed]

I ordered this phone a couple of weeks ago, unfortunately Sony made an error with the address and it got sent back, I hope I get it in the next weeks finally so I can check it out
