    For those who enjoy using a video editing app and are looking for an enhanced experience, give try to YouCut Pro app, it has all the these option and much more

      It's worth noting that Sony never had a good reputation in terms of software stability and (as somewhat already expected) some people on Reddit are already complaining about how updating to Android 14 bricked their Xperia 1 V. Just wait for the early reports and see if Sony will fix the bugs.

            Marc, 06 Nov 2023What about real Night Mode ? Runs too warm ? Slow charging ... moreYou want company that makes 📷 to set their phones to offend the act of photography like samsung and google do when they do not make their 📷 do it and ppl in charge of xperia cam are same ppl in charge of alpha?

            Sony Vaio had 96W. Xperia does not because it ruins battery.
            Chinese brands do not want you to know that.

                Just got the update to android 14 on my Xperia 1V but not via mobile nettwork i got via PC Xperia Companion i repaired the software and to my suprise it was android 14 the builtnumber: 67.1.A.2.112 and this update is very stable and everything is runing very smooth Sony did a good job . The font size makes everything much bigger spezially when reading comments on you tube . The camera also got some improvments . I hav nt figured out all of it yet but like as i sad this is a stable update and i hav nt experience or see any bugs so far .

                  Coolmd, 06 Nov 2023I'd get Sony phone right away if I get 6+ years of And... moreThat's down to Qualcomm to give iPhone and Pixel levels of software support for general mobile SoC. Even Fairphone switched to the enterprise IoT version of Qualcomm's mobile SoC to deliver their promised eight years of software support*.

                    Coolmd, 06 Nov 2023I'd get Sony phone right away if I get 6+ years of And... moreThis so much. Only 2 years of updates just doesn't cut it for a device above $600.
                    Especially not when basically all competition offers 4+ years, some substantially more.

                      > I even have friends who sold their flagship Samsung phones for Sony phones and never regretted it.

                      Meh. I didn't outright regret my Xperia, but it wasn't special >at all

                            I'd get Sony phone right away if I get 6+ years of Android updates.

                              For xperia mark iv, this update 14 will be the last one possible.

                                  Wasn't expecting this update to be out this quick. Nice !
                                  So far everything regarding this 1 V doesn't disappoint

                                    AlexPP, 06 Nov 2023Did you already received A14 on Xperia 1 V? I didn't ... moreYou know that except for Google with the Pixel, in no other manufacturer do Apple-type updates arrive with iOS, you have to wait for them to arrive in stages the same article mentions it

                                      NunoB512, 06 Nov 2023Very surprised with the A14 update, this was fast, I alread... moreDid you already received A14 on Xperia 1 V?

                                        What about real Night Mode ? Runs too warm ? Slow charging for such (premium price!) phone ? Camera can't match auto modes on Samsung, iPhone, Huawei, Honor, Google phones ?! So, so ultrawide. Sony Xperia 1V is around ~ Samsung Galaxy S23 and 5 V 23FE.
