Sony Xperia 1 V image leaks, it might literally be the hottest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 device

02 February 2023
A couple of sensors are gone from the camera array.

Can't be any worse than any phone with the 8 Gen 1 or 888 😂

    WhatSAComputer, 03 Feb 2023How silly of me to pick one of the few other non 20:9 samsu... moreThe s23 is a 19.5:9 aspect ratio not 20:9, Samsung have finally switched away form 20:9 and made 19.5:9 their standard even their a series phones have a 19.5:9 aspect ratio the same aspect ratio that iPhones use which gives us a bit more screen in landscape mode which I like, though I'd like it to become 18:9 as 18:9 doesn't feel like a stretch it just fills the top and bottom bezels that phone 10 years ago use to have while 20:9 the phone starts to get taller and feel awkward. Like when u look at Sony Xperia 21:9 your friends might make fun of u what kind of a TV remote is that and it's taller than your pp and 20:9 is very close to that. I feel like 20:9 is which closer to 21:9 than 19.5:9 I don't know 19.5:9 just feel that much wider than 20:9

I got along well with the 21:9 ratio and decided I could live with the plethora of camera and video apps, but it just didn't do 'phone' good enough for my needs.

        It'll be so pricy!

          Hyperflux, 05 Feb 2023I'm guessing that the North American variant will like... moreDon't hold your breath.

          The North American "-62" models often can't use 5G because several bands and features are disabled. Sony didn't get FCC approval for advertised bands. On top of that, carrier support is worse than some phones not made at all for North America. I bring an old T-Mo Velvet 5G on road trips because my Xperia 1 III can't connect to regional networks or use NR71.

            Are you like 15? Did you just start browsing tech sites?
            Many aspect ratios have been used.

                  Anonymous, 08 Feb 2023I see a little more. To a degree near the ending you have a... more"I see a little more. To a degree near the ending you have a point. But it's not my comprehension that was the issue. Rather it was your arrogance."

                  It had nothing to do with my arrogance. My original point was about the display tech, you brought up OLED phones. I asked for a recent example and you went on a tangent saying I don't have any knowledge, but you failed to correct me. If there was arrogance, then it was from you.

                  I asked you to explain and correct me if I was wrong, but all you did was get sidetracked.

                  "I'm not reading every unnecessarily long winded response from someone just because they can't see past their arrogance."

                  I break down my responses for you to be able to read what I'm responding to. If you can't even read a simplified answer, then you do have comprehension problems. It's pathetic that you are going about arrogance when you can't even take a look at yourself.

                  "Not to mention the watches and phones in question from the start."

                  Nobody mentioned watches, at all. I don't even know what you're reading anymore since you brought in a topic that was never discussed.

                  "And the way you phrased the statement and reply."

                  Go back and re-read my statement. I was specifically referring to the display tech. Generally, LCD outperforms OLED under direct sunlight due to how the tech works. In certain cases, OLEDs might have better readability, but that's not due to them inherently being superior to LCDs in this regard.

                  You kept arguing this for some reason, citing GSMarena's tests when that doesn't prove anything.

                  "On to of that nobodies tests are always perfect.
                  But they do more than just good here at gsmarena."

                  Sure, but they aren't perfect tests by any means. I'm not saying they are bad, but they shouldn't be taken as the only correct test, other tests could show something else depending on how it's tested.

                  "Which means how are you going to sit there and tell me that I have the problem with comprehension? When you acknowledged the fact that I said most tests from over a decade multiple times now...... and still say oh well not all their tests are perfect....."

                  I can sit here and tell you that you struggle with comprehension because your argument and responses reflect this. You didn't bother arguing in good faith, instead deflecting with your responses. I argued about the display tech, you brought in phone displays and used that to argue that OLED is superior and then claimed I don't have any knowledge, but at the same time, you could not even explain how the tech worked.

                  I repeated multiple times that I'm not talking about phones only, I'm referring to the display tech, but you kept insisting on using GSMarena's tests instead of actually understanding how they worked.

                  "If majority of tests from over a decade couldn't provide some kind of usable idea then they are far worse then not always perfect."

                  Again this is where your comprehension shows some struggle. GSMarena's tests do not provide a concrete answer because there are multiple factors on why some OLED phones outperform LCD ones.

                  That doesn't mean their tests are worse now, but it means you failed to consider other factors that affect sunlight readability.

                  "Maybe that's not a simple enough logic🤷🏻‍♂️"

                  Please don't talk about logic when you committed so many fallacies.


                  One last thing, please make an account. I see different anonymous accounts responding and I know they're all you since they are following through with our argument. It's tedious to keep track of them.

                        You: "you didn't explain much of anything"

                        "Point still stands you have nothing to back you up."

                        https://www.lg.com/us/business/commercial-display/resources-hub/pdfs/LG-ebook-LCD-Direct-View-LED-and-OLED-Explained.pdf

                        Maybe look at this to help you since you can't be bothered to read my explanation without admitting you are wrong.

                        "You made the false claim but can't back it up."

                        What false claim? Elaborate.

                        "And can't even read the available information on the website you sit on."

                        This website isn't perfect with tests, not all of their testing is reliable. They do their best though.

                        "Phones with oled have been topping sunlight legibility tests here for many years."

                        Maybe this is where the issue is. You are only referring to phones, I am referring to the actual display tech itself. I literally said this before, but you can't read it seems.

                        There could be plenty of factors why OLED phones are beating LCD ones, but that doesn't mean OLED is better under direct sunlight than LCD.

                        That's an oversimplified cause, you are arguing that because GSMarena tests (which aren't completely reliable) show OLED phones beating LCD phones in sunlight readability tests, that somehow means OLED > LCD when it comes to direct sunlight. That's fallacious thinking.

                        The fact that you struggle to comprehend this is sad
