Anonymous, 16 May 2024This is the best decision Sony made. 1440p is too much. No ... moreThe distance between our eyes and the phone's screen isn't the same as between eyes and monitor. Also, OLED in phones are almost always Pentile RGBG, so they have a 1/3 less of subpixels than an LCD screen with same declared resolution, thus the 450 ppi thing. 1260p screen would also suffice. And, "losing performance and battery" - lmao, we ain't in 2014 anymore.
Also, looking for "terrified fans" in other's comments tells more about you than about anyone else. I'm not a ""fan"" of anything, because being a ""fan"" is stupid. And I use a vivo phone (iQOO 11), not because I care about that brand (lol), but because it was the only one with the combination of parameters that I needed.

GSMARENA said "Even the Dimensity 9300 SoC outperforms the SD8 Gen 3 inside the Xperia 1 VI in certain scenarios"
From what i can see it destroyed every other chipset in Geekbench and Antutu, Apple included.

I already use wireless headphones for convenience, but sometimes wired is more convenient.
I'm less prepared for the loss of the Micro SD slot though. I remember as a kid having an iPad that would constantly run out of storage. Now I'm an adult with a much more capable device running larger software and generating lots of photos and videos. I don't want to return to the bad old days. We still haven't improved much on internal storage on premium phones; the Galaxy S10+ from 2019 could have 1TB internal! We still see so many premium phones that won't budge above 256GB, and the ones that do charge exorbitant prices for that. I don't want to support these scummy storage markups.

Some Anonymous Prson, 16 May 2024I was about to post something similar. Any recommendations... moreIronically, Sony's latest Walkman is pretty good and small. Pretty good battery life and based around Android 11. The Hiby DAPs also look good, and one of those, the M300, has Aptx-Adaptive (though not lossless) and is based on Android 14.

Still, it's really not that much of a loss, considering. Its cost puts it off limits to most people who want it anyway. We can still buy a small DAP with expandable memory, better sound quality than the VI and carry two things in our packets. Those are also far too expensive and should have replaceable batteries but, obviously, don't. If they did they would last much longer and that hurts sales.

I want gapless and something that can handle a 1tb micro SD card. I've been using an old LG which probably sounds better than the VI. I have a 5iii. It's alright but the sound quality is noticeably better on my G8 with a cracked screen that has higher resolution and even nicer more natural slightly wider aspect ratio than the VI. I don't use the higher resolution because the battery drains quickly as it is but it is noticable

What, 15 May 2024I don't care what anybody says. Sony is back. If only this came to the US, the land of freedom to not have a choice to buy a premium phone with a headphone jack or MicroSD slot...

Sad thing is that no other flagship devices seem to have what the Sony offers on the audio front (headphone jack, SD card support, Aptx-Adaptive and lossless).

Lost in space was Sony as it hardly gets mentioned these days of there Xperia phones, Always stuck to Samsung, But even today, Samsung is loosing its touch, especially on it's features, Only best thing still about Sony is that they still have kept the SD card slot and the earphone jack, where now Samsung is getting that greedy, they want you to sign up to the cloud to store your images, Videos, Music, as that is PPM, where Sony still has kept this, But in reality, Sony needs still to update better Camera as to Iris Scanner if it has it, Everyone to there own, But you will never beat the SD card sot being kept as I hope they keep this for a long time to get more sales and learn Samsung a big lesson of what people go for and still want,

I read the review I can't reply to everyone
I read a user who had doubts about the performance.
I don't agree, reading carefully the results are more or less in line
with the top of the range same CPU. indeed in single mode they are almost identical to the top of the range, excluding the slightly overclocked S24 ultra
performance also depends on the governor used at the kernel level. It is an excellent purchase, unfortunately the price is affected by the late release of other manufacturers.
