Nothing about network performance? Are the comm components the same as last year's? Any new bands supported?

Xperia 5 V did not have the aptx lossless as well. While Xperia 5 IV did have it. Sony is slowly losing them without offering any real equivalent.

The GSMArena summary regarding cost could apply to pretty much almost any yearly flagship; (as you can get a S23 Ultra for almost half the price of the S24 Ultra now) as the increments are relatively smaller and smaller; as I think GSMA have touched on before it's the midrange handsets who reap the most benefits recently, such as getting an OLED panel and 120Hz screen (just don't mention that to Apple as yet)
Possibly a 3 way comparison would be better, so people can see what has changed between the Xperia 1 IV, V & VI
The longer battery life, brighter screen, longer optical zoom & telemacro may be good enough arguments to persuade some potential buyers.
Also some networks offer incentives to yearly upgrades of your handsets, so a decent trade in for a newer shiner handset

Anonymous, 03 Jun 2024Ah sorry, I must admit I did not know about aptx lossless. ... moreYeah. But it is relatively close to lossless. Asus phones support the codec. And some others as well. Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 has it. So does cheaper SoundPEATS Air4/Air4 Pro. So hopefully soon it will be prevalent. With it I might even be able to live with a smartphone without jack. So far I do not use BT headphones.

Yeah seems to be the best, if you have the hardware.
But Qualcomm is very brave to call this lossless, because it is not.
"Qualcomm told What Hi-Fi? that CD-quality (16-bit/44.1kHz) audio transmission is achieved between 1.1Mbps and 1.2Mbps (1,100 and 1,200kbps) with aptX Lossless. As a rough reference, aptX Adaptive's maximum bitrate is 420kbps, (the older and less efficient) aptX HD can stream at 576kbps, and LDAC's is 990kbps. A CD audio file is 1,411kbps so you're always losing something here, though these claimed aptX Lossless figures are very close."

Qualcomm says that 'no data is lost when audio is encoded and decoded with aptX Lossless'."

Good comparison - thanks!
After reading this I placed an order for a green 1VI and expect to have it next week, along with some complimentary WH-1000XM5.
Should be great :)

What I'm curious about is the improved audio circuitry for wired headphones and speakers. I can't but this model where I live but I'm still curious. So far, I've yet to find a phone with as good audio quality as the LG with dedicated audio dacs.

If a device that was cutting edge when you bought it still works well, it isn't obsolete, dude. The non user replaceable battery is clearly planned obsolescence, dude. I can still get some use out of a Note 3 with a ten dollar battery I bought, dude.
Please disregard the "dude" sarcasm if your comment was not intended to be condescending. It's hard to tell these days.

Me and wife's phones from 2020 (S20 FE and A71) with SD 865 and SD730 are still working perfectly fine. Whatever planned obsolescence they made doesn't seem to be working all that well. No hiccups whatsoever on my S20 FE. Not saying I don't believe MFGs don't intentionally set their devices up for eventual failure, just that it doesn't happen as soon as some people make you think. By the time it does, I'll have already bought a new device.

Hello, wanted to point out, that the Xperia 1 V weighs 198 grams weighted it myself. The scale I used is calibrated, as.it correctly showed 187 grams for the Xperia 1 III.
