I was thinking about avoiding it as rumors don't say much about software updates and longer software support. Many other important hardware details are also not known yet like battery size, 16GB of Ram and 512GB of rom in Europe. We don't know if all cameras are Exmor T and if ultra wide sensor is also bigger. We do not know if there is notification led back. No word on AI functions.
But hey they are giving us back the khaki green that I love.
But this time it seems to be brighter? Why is it sony? Should be a bit darker than mark 5.
Anyway if only available in Europe (rumors say it may not be) then I'll buy it :)

Phone Critic, 24 Apr 2025Exorbitant Price for 1 Year OS Support Unless Sony finally... moreSony is already proving 5 years of support on 1VI. But what you expect from support is very subjective; You want bug fixes? You want OS upgrades? You want feature parity for older models?

Anonymous, 25 Apr 2025What are you talking about?? The display has the same size... morenot even the MarkV, they deprecated 4k support with android 15. GSMarena shows res @1644 x 3840 pixels w/ 643ppi, but reality is it only renders 1096x2560 at 427 ppi. Sony cant even be bothered to maintain the features that were built into and used to market the phone

As a big Sony fan, I'm still kinda disappointed in this, especially if it's the same size sensors. Sony needs to massively improve on something because while using Photo Pro to get the best results is fun from time to time, I find myself a bit disappointed with some of the photos in auto mode.
I still love my Xperia 1V, but software is also very important on a phone. My next phone is looking to be a Huawei (even with the app limitations) or a Vivo, since I'm getting a much better experience software-wise in comparison.

Foxtrot2Novmbr, 25 Apr 2025So how come you didn't see that the Top Speaker is muc... moreWhat are you talking about??
The display has the same size, but has changed in every generation for better. If you want to brag about resolution, you can get the markV if you want.
With the mark6 the brigtness is finaly sufficient.
12GB ram is enough. You wont get better speed with more ram.
1TB internal storage would be nice. But i am OK with using 2TB microsd card. If the phone dies, i have all my files on the card.
30W charging is good for the battery. In 20 minutes on charger i top my phone every day to 80% which gets me thru the day.
Why it doesn't have Magsafe Charging? Because it's an apple thing.

Starting from Xperia 1 II up to Xperia 1 VI. The speakers are the same? I used to have Xperia Z5 Premium Dual. And those Front Facing Speakers are wider. Why the change?
And you think it was Improved?
Why is it still a 6.5 inch display from Xperia 1 up to Xperia VI with OLED, HDR BT.2020? Where's the Nits? How come the screen brightness is so weak?
Why is the RAM limited to 12GB and 512GB Maximum Storage?
Why is the Charging Speed is limited to 30W? And does not support Displayport? And Finally.
Why it doesn't have Magsafe Charging?

The notchless display and the front facing stereo speakers round up the Xperiance. I loved these feaures like 10 years ago in my HTC M8. Too bad that the "flagships" cancel too many useful features. I'm so glad Sony is making good stuff. :)

Birdie, 24 Apr 2025Sony is the only phone manufacturer I'm currently inte... moreWhat should they offer? Here's my Recommendation. And it's not too hard for them.
1. 6.9 inch 1644 x 3840 pixels, 21:9 ratio (~643 ppi density) with 120hz RR. And with a 3,000nits max Brightness. 2,000 nits initial.
2. 16GB RAM. 1TB Internal Storage with MicroSD card slot.
3. 6,000Mah Battery with 45W PD wired charging. 15W for wireless. And a Magsafe Ring for Magnet Charging.
4. A Separate Module for Color Spectrum Sensor and a Quad LED true tone flash with adjustable Focal Point and Max Brightness.
5. 5 Year Software Update Support.
6. A Shutter button that can be programmed to do other things like the action button from the latest iPhone.
7. HIFI QUAD DAC.
8. Gaming Hub that shows the Gamepad Controller Options. Specifically when using DualShock 5 wherein you can customize the Maximum Vibration, LED Colors, and Lightning Effects when playing certain games. For example. When playing a shooting game. The Led would Flash white when using the trigger buttons.
9. All Rear Cameras are using 48MP. While the Front is 24MP. And.....
10. Equal Sized. Wider Front Facing Speakers.
You don't like the Price and Availability? Well that's the problem when the product isn't too popular and doesn't sold a lot like Samsung and Apple.

Damn, if it also has an SD card slot, this'd mean that they're the only one left that still rocks them as SHARP ditched both on last year's Aquos R9.
Never was a fan of audio jack disappearing from mobile phones so this is the one thing still going by Sony. Good for them!

Anonymous, 24 Apr 2025All these folks complaining about it being boring or ugly. ... moreIn model 1 VI Sony cut notification diode (Asus did the same in ROG 8 model). What for? No one knows. Also Sony's UI looks like old Cyanogen 10 years ago.

Foxtrot2Novmbr, 24 Apr 2025My Best Guest for the specs are: 1. Same Display specs. 2... moreWith each generation Xperias have improved on everything you listed on here. For example there is a clear difference in speaker output between 1III to 1IV to 1V and to 1VI. All sound different and newer devices sound better than the previous. I don't know why would they change this
