Random restart is an actual defense for system heat response which is actually sony confirms it.

Great review thanks, I'm really looking forward to the next version that will be announced on May 10th.

21/9 is perfect for gaming. i use it too on my pc. its the best

[blackboxmobile]

Great Vid. Happy to hear the heating problem has seemed to resolve itself. The cameras on this phone are so interesting. Can auto mode take some nice pictures. Pixel keeps changing their post processing and it's not always for the better.

Got this phone for $300... Crack screen but plan on doing a glass screen replacement soon.

Nice video! I also chose purple. More of a flair than black, but still classy! ;)

[namelesssnitchy]

we are now 7 months further and you have had a summer in canada. how was the overheating issue till now?

[janjamesramos]

what apps do you use in a day? I'm concerned about the batt life since I plan to buy this phone. Also, is the zoom lens soft? I heard some who have feedback on it.

Do you considering that I should buy the Xperia 1 iv for 450 Euros is a good deal? Or should I buy an s22 ultra instead (I used to have an Xperia like 7 years ago and I loved it I'm considering getting back but l'm uncertain if is going to be a good purchase be idk anything about photography and l used a lot the front facing camera)

[WhimsicalPacifist]

I think that's the Sony case? Is it good? And glass screen protector or a plastic one? Last one, 3.5mm audio quality compared to an LG?

I currently have a 1 V on pre-order, coming off of LG's.

Im planning to upgrade my phone from poco f1 to either of these:

Poco f5 pro
Xperia 1 IV
Pixel 7 pro
S23 ultra

Things i look for a phone are display, battery, camera, audio (audiophile stuff) and performance. Have you tried the phones mentioned above except f5 pro? Please provide your unbiased feedback below.

Also, after the android 13 update, how long can you take a 4k video until you get a warning and how often does the phone gets hot? Im planning to use this in concerts and take 4k vids but it might just stop out of nowhere if it gets too hot.

Thank you!

5G is not working after Android 13 update, can I know why I am so worried

[personalfarmer.]

hi can i ask your experience now on the overheating issues when you take videos? and what would be the battery life after?

[siolavgs]

I want to buy this xperia 1iv but I still care about the overhead . 😢. Many reviewers say, this phone too hot.
Is it true?
Do you have solution to me .?
Or using 60hz display will be saver the temperatur?

Bonjour,
Si tout se passe bien j'achète un nouveau smartphone en fin de mois. J'ai la marque de cœur qui est Sony et j'hésite entre le modèle Xperia 1 IV actuellement à 899€ et le nouveau Xperia 5 V à 999€.
Je sais que le premier avait des problèmes de chauffe mais qui sont aujourd'hui résolu et qu'il s'est franchement bien amélioré.
Le deuxième fait débat à cause du capteur en moins, j'ai cru comprendre que l'écran était moins bon (même si j'en doute) que le 5 IV.
Perso j'ai un Sony Xperia XZ3 et j'ai un usage "standard", réseaux sociaux, vidéo, musique, un peu de jeux mais pas les énormes trucs gourmands en ressources, appel et SMS, bref du classique quoi.
Pourriez vous m'aider à faire un choix en mettant en avant des arguments pour les deux ?

[jjeter]

That purple look black or am I tripping😅

[scenicaddiction]

Did you experience slow mobile data speeds when compared to other phones? My OnePlus gets 30mbps speed when xperia 1 iv gets only around 10-15mbps. Tried changing apn setting etc but no luck yet.

[xmaverickhunterkx]

I don't think it's unappreciated. It was unusable before Android 13 came in, and anyone who tried it with 12 would be disappointed.
Even with 13, the camera sometimes doesn't work (rare, but it happens) and it has other annoyances, like less performance than other phones with the same SoC and it gets HOT.

It does have a few things that are great and better than the competition, but the downsides are awful.
