Hi
I have received the new Sony Xperia 1 V for my birthday, after a one week, I decided to sell the phone
There’s still no clever LTPO or fully variable refresh rate tech, for example – you’ve got to pick either 60Hz or 120Hz. The latter makes scrolling feel so much smoother it’s worth the minor hit to battery life, although there’s nothing you can to stop the phone running certain apps at the lower rate.
It also doesn’t get anywhere near as bright as the current crop of flagship phones, which can pump out more than double the amount of light.
there’s no artificial brightening going on here like you’ll find on a Samsung or Apple phone
No AI-powered editing tools like Magic Eraser to remove unwanted elements in photos and Face Unblur to unblur the face of moving subjects.
The zoom lens isn’t quite so adept, introducing a lot more noise even with night mode lending a helping hand.
The telephoto’s maximum 5.2x optical zoom preserves a decent amount of detail, even if brickwork, foliage and fine textures can get a little lost. Saturation can dip, and it’s also not the strongest magnification available in a flagship phone, with the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra maintaining its lead.
Rivals also zoom further and pack in more creative modes to appeal to casual snappers.
Google uses its Super Res Zoom to offer 30x zoom with impressive results.
And while there’s no dedicated macro mode (something we’re seeing more of in rivals)
There’s no pre-installed bloat,
No 16GB ram storage
There’s no power brick included in the box,
No cable and no fast wireless charger in the box.
Rivals are better and away head

Finally, another phone with a working and real optical zooming capability. No need to switch cameras to achieve fake optical zoom.

Image quality from all camera modules are comparable to average point and shoots.
The more recent Pixels, in my opinion, have better image quality. Also, the more recent point and shoots from Canon and Sony have better still image quality.

SD card has its advantages. What do you do if you are out shooting for a day and you storage got filed up? You have to delete on other phones, with Xperia if you have an SD card with you, you can transfer files to that. And don't tell me carrying an SD card is a hassle cause it really sits in your device itself

justasmile, 22 Jul 2023And less safe.Just saying, dude, if both MicroSD and SD cards are less safe than cloud storage, Sony Alpha and Xperia simultaneously would've ditched it, yet both Sony Alpha and Xperia still retain that features with their latest offerings (A7RV and X1V).

And as camera division of Sony, Sony Alpha wouldn't dare removed any expandable storage from its design because it is important for photographers/videographers and that's valid for Xperia as Alpha's little brother.

Does anyone know if this comes with a built-in privacy app locker like in the Oppo Find X5 Pro?
