Sony Xperia 1 VI gets Wi-Fi 7 connectivity via software update

14 October 2024
The new update is following a phased release, meaning some regions will get it ahead of others.

Sort by:

Drop the price by $400/400€ and it will start to sell.

As it is, Xperia 1 VI is nice, but it is outrageously overpriced against the competition (real street price, not MSRP).

    Hopicus, 14 Oct 2024Useless because 99% people don't use wifi 7.I hope you're not one of those people who discouraged others from getting wifi 6 routers because they need to be on a certain data plan speed.
    Which doesn't matter anyways since wifi 6 provides more stable connection than wifi 5 routers.
    And Xperia 1 VI buyers are mostly the type who are capable of buying wifi 7 routers.

          Me and many of my friends already have Wi-Fi 7 router which benefits local file transfers and streams between Wi-Fi 7 devices (for me it's PC and laptop, together with my smartphone that all support Wi-Fi 7).

          And soon gonna buy Pico 4 Ultra which also support Wi-Fi 7 to complement my setup.

            If this extends to the hotspot function that is amazing. I have a pair wifi card with wifi 7 support, so it may actually provide much better speeds as well as a more stable connection over wifi 6

                    I hate the fact the V comes without a bloody weather app, and uses Google photos instead of it's own gallery app.

                    The flashlight is dimmer than the display itself.

                    Sony aught to sort a lot of things, chasing a crowd with "professional" video and photography applications is just dull.

                      Ok bro

                        Hopicus, 14 Oct 2024Useless because 99% people don't use wifi 7.At some point 4G wasn't used in a lot of places because a lack of infrastructure, same about 5G. So what, devices shouldn't have supported it until it is full scale everywhere? You want even more planned obsolescence?
