This is 1 series, not 5 ..

1v : 12/256 for Europe/USA/Japan/SEA and 16/512GB to China/Taiwan
5 v : 8/256GB

    jpn4 , 23 Feb 2023Sony article, comments will probably be 100+Many people still think Sony is still that great company from 20-30 years ago when that Sony is long gone. Just relying on their PlayStation brand and Spider-Man movies that a generation of fans grew up on. Mainstream cares about Sony phones as much as Google phones. Nil. Niche.

        Will probably have the same cost cutting and feature removals as the 1V and 10IV. Some phones like Xperia’s are going backwards to keep the price point with rocketing material costs.

          Hanif Fikri, 23 Feb 202321:9 ratio..yawnThe perfect ratio. My 5 II sits well in my hand and I have access to more information on the screen. Perfect. In addition, watching cinema video is a bliss.

            Sony phones are now more closer to their α series cameras. So it is not recommended for general people. They should get Google Pixel or Apple iPhone for one click photo.

            Sony smartphones is a professional camera gear intended to be used in the hands of a true professional and it requires effort while capture/filming and then at the post processing end.

            This 16GB RAM is very useful for RAW video capture (from motioncam app). The output is next level even Apple ProRes pales in comparison. But it is not an easy task to capture and process RAW footage.

              It shall decimate all your iphones, Samsungs and Xiaomis.

                joe nodden, 23 Feb 2023No phone needs 16 gigs of RAM. I was one of those peopl... moreNobody needs 16GB RAM on a Sony phone because Sony can't be bothered to set the Android task killer correctly. It won't let you use more than 4GB.

                      16GB RAM would definitely be welcome. I am someone who runs multiple apps at the same time and uses my phone like a computer. 16GB would be futureproofing the phone for quite a few years. Samsung does something similar with RAM Plus, but its not actual RAM. Its just fast storage.

                        Yeah, Sony needs to offer an auto camera mode comparable to that of the iPhone 14 Pro/Pixel 7 Pro. Most people just want to point a shoot and get great photos and videos.
                        Face Unlock and fast charging would be nice too.

                            No phone needs 16 gigs of RAM.

                            I was one of those people insulting Apple for using hardly any RAM, but 8 gigs is fine and anything over 12 is overkill at the moment. They need to invest in improving their insanely overrated 12MP sensors before putting 16 gigs of RAM in their phones.
