[deleted post]what do you need the 18GB ram for? just for bragging! because this phone can run so smooth like butter even if it has 8GB of ram.... 12GB is more than enough with it's power efficient CPU and GPU.... it's not about high numbers but it's about the capabilities.

IpsDisplay, 11 May 2023How is Sony's "mobile" division doing now?Revenue dropped 1% compared to previous fiscal year.
Xperia generated about € 2,429 billion.
Money has been stable since 1,5 and 10 series replaced XZ.

Anyone else a bit disappointed with the textured back and ridged sides? I prefer a smooth phone because it’s easier to clean. So much dirt is going to get trapped in there!

The only thing like about this phone the ability to shoot 4k@120fps, no ugly curved screen other than that nothing and hope it’s not going to throttling fast due to SD card, 4k OLED and 4k@120fps Sony should’ve put big a&$& cooling system including a lot thermo paste.

GSM Arena might want to reshoot the test rig shots. There's an IMX686 phone from 2021 that has clearer feature detail than the Xperia 1 V in good lighting, and I find that either hard to believe or really discouraging for Sony.

Solid review, I'm most likely going to get this by the time it's out or maybe the PRO-I ii, if that gets announced before I decide to upgrade.
It's a bit harder to get in the Canadian market, but hopefully one day Sony can officially sell it here.

Imx989 does not have this tech, it is too slow.
Ceramic scratches easier than glass, also way heavier.

Absolutely love the "unholed" display. Just a 3mm space on top and on the bottom. Hole/Pill/Notch/etc... problem solved

When they copy apple, but can't even bring hi res...
After seeing 50mp, 200mp, multiple hi res sensors in one device on plenty of brands even years back, this feels really nostalgic.
I wonder if they have seen the difference... 12mp vs 200mp.
12mp is great for videos tho, its like zv-e1 in a phone.
I prefer a7R line tho.

Great review. I'm going to pre-order this thing to replace my Mark iii as I want the battery battery life, added 5G bands for the US, and better thermals.
Great work Sony. Wasn't a perfect reveal but ticks all the boxes I need (with the exception of leaving out mmWave but at least T-Mobile doesn't 'need' it).

Low light video quality doesnt even come close to S22U let alone S23U.
