Kindly ignore the camera features and what is left of the phone that makes it Xperia?

With a fuzzball or otherwise. The reviewer here has no practical video shooting experience and he does not know what users want/need.

60Hz...hahah. Man, Xperia 1V can record 4K120fps with BT2020 without slo motion and play that on its screen in 120Hz! Even top TVs cannot do that and strong PCs. Xperia oled display has very very good screen calibration (creator mode) - I have compare with Macbook PRO M2. It show correct BT2020/rec.2100 without magenta and yellow. You know nothnig about screen uniformity man.

Oddly enough it was same exact as Beats headphones and to your point that's an apple product.
But again the phone itself was nothing more than basic like it's packaging other than the camera but I use camera for camera and phone as phone. Returned mine!

Sony addict, 19 May 2024Who do you work for?Lol!
I did find lack of basic native apps weird and weak.
No widget clock with weather?
Note and facial recognition as well missing.

Very unrefined UI, after using 2hrs installed Microsoft luncher and worked so much better.
60hz refresh rate is terrible, makes the phone laggy and seems dated.
Terrible thermal/heat distribution, phone gets hot under barely any stress.
Sim eject is nail pull rather than conventional push sim ejector.
Odd screen shape long and narrow
No facial recognition unlock?!
Lacking basic native apps, no clock widget with weather, no note app, settings seems weird compared to default android, something is missing.
Slow charging for today's standard.
Camera was great but broken in 3 apps makes it slow and inconvenience.
Decent screen quality but there are better AMOLED options cheaper.
Headphone jack, you think it's a nice feature but then realize all your headphones are Bluetooth!
Barely any decent case or screen protector options in US or Japan, clearly tells you no one cares!
Returned and got Zenfone 11 ultra, UI is much better and overall phone seems much more superior, will post review there for it in a week.
Pervious phones recent to older order, Nothing 2, Zenfone 9, oneplus 8T, oneplus 6T.
During the painstakingly search, returned OnePlus 12, now returning Xperia 1 V.
Checked out numerous phones, very little good option without chance of China spying in your device.

Search for HLG sampels from 1V. It has quality of aps-c cameras in terms of video recording. Samsung cannot match video modes of Xperia because it doesnt have that features.

For me, the phone fell short of what I expected ,
In features it is no match to Samsung s23, s24.
It's just like every other android phones no Xperia unique features.

The phone is far below what I was expecting from Sony.
I do rather go for Samsung this time

77, 29 Mar 2024Wholly Cow, 432 posts, unbelievable ™®©That's because most here would like it as it's similar to Android phones before they became bad versions of iPhones but they're too expensive and not available in most regions so we comment knowing that we won't spend money on them and have to go through the annoying new phone ritual of passwords, setting up ringtones, walpaper and the rest. Even if I could easily spend the money and justify it, there's something that makes me reticent and hasn't been mentioned. For years now, each new android update makes our devices less user friendly, bugs are becoming worse and are seldom fixed until the next OS which introduces different bugs. Turning the power button into Google assistant is one of the most user unfriendly things that Google did. AI is going to be hell, too. Why spend so much money for a device that could be destroyed by an Android update?

There is nothing I could add to this review. Perhaps a comment on the sound recording. Many, if not all, cams do not do enough in blocking/filtering spurious wind gusts. Wind noise could be so bad I think the phone is not worth its price even though the video could be great. Some reviewers resort to external mike connected via USB-C and there are some options available. Because Sony understands the utility of a reliable connection and offers a 3.5 mm audio/phone jack, my question is whether the external mike can be connected to the Sony's audio jack.
