NeverPayOver1000eur, 10 Mar 2024Says it's USB 3.2 but when plugged into my USB 4 port ... moreare you sure USB 4 is back-compatible with every 3.2 device? Maybe it will transfer faster with a 3.2 cable and 3.2 input on the computer end.
Sometimes 2.0 card readers won't work properly with 3.0 inputs on computers.
Still after 25 years I feel USB is giving me a lot of headaches and compatability issues. Feels like a big experiment :)

Good internal speakers, still have audio jack and front camera is outside of the display. 👍 I have it 3rd week, everything OK. But there is no option to save photo to 48 Mpix. 😕 Maximum possible resolution of the saved image is only 12Mpix.

The major problem with Sony is that it is using the same soundcard (or at least the same design) since 2015, when Sony Xperia Z5 Premium was launched. Back then the soundcard was improved at a rate of 192KBps. Even now, in the year of 2024 is the same rate. Before Xperia Z5 Premium, the rate was put at 128 KBps. Bear in mind that now mobile phones have 384 or even 427 KBps. The tablets have mostly 2 Watts. So, the soundcard of the japanese creators is so outdated.

Rknight93, 10 Mar 2024This is better than iPhone 15 seriesIt's just good, very very good. However, someone's 1V once heated up after one day (the phone always heats up when it downloads and installs updates/firmware in the background) and sent it back, he couldn't load the graphics into AOD and he had a quiet BT which is practically too loud for the XM4/XM5. Then the dwarves came out and started dancing around the pot full of gold.

Mindprison, 10 Mar 2024I've just bought this phone and I'm returning it ... moreYou clearly aren't the intended audience and 1 day of usage is not enough to "break-in" a new device.
1. It is by far the most consistent camera I've ever used. However, it is not a "point-and-shoot". It is meant for professionals.
2. The telephoto is fine. Unless you are in total darkness, by which no other phone will do better.
3. Pixel's camera is garbo compared to the 1V and HDR bracketing isn't a dealbreaker but that's just my opinion.
4. Refresh rate is only inconsistent with the default launcher and ONLY when scrolling through apps. I also noticed this but it is an instant fix with eg. Nova Launcher.
5. Haptic feedback is a meme feature. I turned it straight off.
6. Complaining about lack of icon packs etc. is a joke. Just use a third-party launcher like Nova like the rest of us and other icon packs...
7. Always On display is garbo. I turned it straight off. It's not recommended on OLED screens anyway...
8. The speakers are awesome what are you talking about? They are REAL stereo speakers and the microphones are REAL stereo microphones that blow any other phone anyway. Compared to my Xperia 13 Ultra, I sound underwater on that phone. They might not be the loudest speakers but they are by far the clearest. Besides who even uses phone speakers these days? Get some headphones.
9. Bluetooth volume is plenty loud enough but you can increase it even more via Developer Settings.
10. Phone heats up too quickly? What? This has never happened to me and I've had mine 6 months and abused it like crazy in all types of applications.
All-in-all some of the worst arguments against this phone ever. Shame you never had it long enough to get the amazing 4 day long battery life out of it. I've been going hard on this phone taking photos all over the world and with 4K 60fps HDR video I am recording hours and hours worth, over multiple days without even needing a charge.
Finally, having the 3.5mm jack (which you absolutely cannot say is not loud enough), stereo speakers, a proper actual OLED display with proper color calibration. Actual proper "Pro" camera and video etc. This phone is not for you mate. Just buy your point-and-shoot iPhone and be happy. None of us will mind.

Says it's USB 3.2 but when plugged into my USB 4 port with a USB 4 cable, it took 2 hours and 20 minutes to copy only 78GB of photos and videos...
That's slower than USB 2.0 speeds.

I've just bought this phone and I'm returning it after a day of use. It has to be one of the biggest disappointments I ever had in a smartphone.
Pros: The main and the ultra-wide cameras are pretty good, there's a lot of settings and tweaks to play around inside the camera app, sleek and lightweight design,
Cons: The telephoto camera is quite underwhelming in darker conditions, no real macro mode, the RAW files aren't very useful since they don't include any kind of HDR bracketing like those from Pixel or iPhone do, performance is inconsistent in regards to the refresh rate, the haptic feedback is too loud, robotic and unsophisticated, the automatic screen brightness is overly jumpy on some occasions, overall customization is severely lacking for a modern Android phone (no icon packs, no different icon shapes, no transparency settings for the app drawer), very basic Always On display customization (only a couple of predefined clocks, no option to put any kind of a graphic or a picture on the AOD), the speakers, while quite good sound quality wise are simply too weak and lifeless when compared to even an older phone like the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro, the Bluetooth audio volume is also lower for some reason when compared to my Mi 10 Pro or the iPhone 14 Pro Max (especially when it comes to the Youtube application where it's unacceptably low, which can also be said for the speaker volume), the phone itself heats up too quickly, sometimes even while doing basic tasks.
All in all, a very low effort product from Sony, at least in my opinion, especially for its asking price. If your main reason for owning a smartphone is to take photos with it or record videos, than it's certainly a great choice. Otherwise, I advise everyone else to not bother with it at all, no matter how curious you are to find out how things are at the Sony camp in this moment in time.

So I have had this phone for a few months now and these are my opinions
Pros
- if you are a photographer then this is a great choice with all the options in the camera app
- I do like how you can modify just about anything on this phone
- battery life is pretty decent
- it has some great features for example gaming related modifications and external monitor output
- imagine quality is quite good
- the phone does not crash, if something crashes it's one of the apps but the phone itself never crashes or freezes
Cons
- the phone does overheat a little too much
- the lock screen is a little buggy which I find annoying
- the average person wouldn't even know how to take a video or good picture on this phone, I also had a little difficulty at first even though I am a graphic designer and photographer
- and yes the phone is too expensive
If you are considering buying this phone, keep in mind that it will be a little confusing at first glance.

[deleted post]Yes we know...even when filming in low light it is better, and it is the noise in the films that determines the quality of the CMOS sensor. Only film/video can show true CMOS performance, my friend (beacuse there is no time for CPU/AI tricks). And at this point Xperia 1V is beyond the market.

Anonymous, 07 Mar 2024umm you can write same things in every other flagship forum... morehas better low light video than others and video recording at all and I use it and many many people use it.
"lgbt 4k120fps"
Is it hurts that SONY can achive 4K120fpsHDR (temperatures) and your phone cant handle?
If hurts sorry for you.

Anonymous, 07 Mar 2024umm you can write same things in every other flagship forum... moreObviously you simply jump to conclusion without used this phone before! X1V has tonnes of features that leave all other flagship phones in dust
1. No any other flagship has AF tracking as good as even 3 generations ago Sony. Shot with pets and running kids you will know every other flagships are piece of crap
2. Obviously you haven't used X1 V before. The noise level is head leading with Sony's next generation Exmor-T sensor which is at only reversed for this model
3. 4K screen color is as accurate as my Eizo graphic color critical monitor especially in BT2020 mode. None of other flagships have BT2020 color gamut support not even mention color accuracy
4. None of the other flagship can natively output Hi-Res via Bluetooth and USB audio output. All of them are subject to the 48KHz Android OS SRC limitation except Xperia. Obviously the software technology of Sony's own Android Walkman DAP has been ported to here
5. Unlimited burst shot at 20fps. All other flagship phones can match. For example iPhone 15 Pro and S23/24U will have burst rate toggled just a few seconds after you start exploring their hardware limit
5. 4k screen resolution and real world details. All other flagship phone looks burr with limited screen level dynamic range. Side by side compare to professional color critical screen such as Eizo CG, Dell UltraSharp with Premier Color, Asus ProArt etc you will find all smartphones are crap except this Sony!
6. The 3.5mm has good driving capability and tonally accurate even for professional audio mixing using pro grade audio monitors such as Sony's own MDR-7506 which is the defacto industry standard for music creation
7. Bravia's BFI technology is implemented in smartphone. That's why when viewing video, it look smoother even at 60Hz than other flagship at 100/200Hz compared side by side with all other flagships. Anyone with enough video monitor knowledge must know accurate BFI and video processing algorithms is much more important than paper spec such as raw refreshing rate!
