    So once overheating has been solved with new update, new problem appear. Its a bloody sd card! I cant use sd to save photos or record anuthing for somehow it cause the whole camera module to.crash, together with torchlight. It seems to work with internal memmory but any atempt to use sd makes it to crash and comes up with unknown error. Same with coping.files between sd and i.mem. Sloow is not the word for it. Same sd cards seems to work perfect on other devices like motorolla or samsung or even other xperia models but not xperia 1 mkIV. Strange

      I just love that Sony has kept some functions that people love, and just keeps with them, despite the opponents following the stream.

      Fx. The micro jack, the build in finger scanner, camera button, and lighting diode and the part i love the most is the sim card tray, which is accessible by fingers. As a technician who occasionally has to set up remote internet points with broadband sim-cards its perects to have the ability to test the sim in your phone, and remove the pin-code on the spot

        I've got the oppo find x3 neo but love photography and the zoom in his interested me, hopefully battery life won't be too bad got a 250gb micro SD to stick in it too.

          Just got this phone "refurbished" in the UK for £549 delivered. It's brand new, and basically half price. Lots of deals to be had on these phones.

            I got the update to Android 13. The phone no longer heats up and maintains a constant temperature even during long gaming and photo/video editing sessions. Sony The Best!

              I have had this phone for two months and the temperature issue was fixed by the software update. I made gaming sessions of one hour each and the phone kept its constant temperature.

                If you read this review and go to where it says "performance and benchmarks" you'll see they have a section for something like "sustained performance" where they see how quickly the phone throttles. Not only does this Sony phone throttle more than any other flagship on the market, it also heats up faster than any other flagship on the market. To be fair, no one really buys a Sony flagship for the processor performance but when a company is asking for $1400 MSRP, there is a bit of an expectation for good performance.

                            Multiple sources and reviews report overheating problems when using the camera, particularly during video recording. In quite a few cases, users were not able to record video for longer than half a minute.
                            Sony seems to be using just tiny bit of heat dissipitating thermo pad, while other manufacturers are using ginormous vapor chambers to cool down the SoC.

                                If someone want Low Light video from Xperia PRO-I. At now Xperia for me is in the world top 3 in terms of picture quality. Frist place, second? I dont know but it is amazing:

                                  New .71 update did Not fix muddy telephoto performance on my device. Still a blurry mess. Looks like utter shit to be honest. Factory reset 2 times same results. Ultimately returned the device to store for the exact same reason that I returned the mk3 for - subpar telephoto performance. Sony uses too advanced hardware solutions that are not ready for prime time. They did it last year. They did the same thing this year. Advancing technologies without even nailing the first iteration. So disappointed in Sony I really wanted the tele to perform at least somewhat like the other lenses.

                                    I haven't used my phone's included charger for a few generations now.

                                      The low light images are outstanding, very little noise, especially when compared to iphone 13 pro max. At the same time it's nicely detailed, great dynamic range and processing is fairly restrained compared to others. Judging by the samples on gsmarena its clearly better than s22 ultra and iphone 13 pro max to my eyes. Not having a night mode isn't an issue here, because normal ones are excellent.
