Sony Xperia 1 VI review

15 May 2024


Sort by:

Too bad about the new aspect ratio. Would've been great if it weren't so wide.

    Past Xperia 1 were conservative when compared to this one.
    I guess the comments section will be fire in a few hours...

    I'll give it a try, these changes are for the better IMO. Next step is to bring Exmor T on every sensors

      Ah sony, your charm is truly undeniable. It's not the greatest in any way but that's because they don't even try. I can't wait to get this phone when the price drops😍

        This is definitely an update over my 1iii. Im getting this one

          David 040882, 15 May 2024Yeah, true. The only thing that could justify that is the f... moreAnyone can buy both the Oppo Find X7 Ultra and the Vivo X100 Ultra, they both cover almost all GS networks and from personal experience work very well outside China.

          With minimum effort, man can remove 99% of the Chinese language, and with rooting probably all.

          Indeed, the review was not only taking like an "eternity", but it was extremely rushed. The phone has so much more to offer... and I know cause I'm enjoying it very much!

            Dead on arrival thanks to the FHD+ screen. Who in their right mind though an FHD+ screen on such a premium top of the line flagship was a good idea????

            If this thing had a QHD+ display at the VERY LEAST, it would've been perfect. Hardest ball Sony has ever dropped. Good riddance, no Sony for me till they fix this.

              Notification LED gone again if I didn't miss anything? Sad, but not a total dealbreaker.

                With 60hz mode this phone battery life Will be outstanding, like best android battery life. So the downgradento FHD actually give more useful improvement rather than the gimmick 4K

                  Too bad for the 12MP telephoto sensor only, a 32 or 50MP model could have gone up to x14.2

                    A.C, 15 May 2024Everything about this phone seems to be good. I don't ... moreYeah, so good, a main can sensor smaller than that of an iphone, a dogshi uw, a telephoto smaller than most of the selfie cams, terrible processing..so good phone.

                      Battery life is so good~👍

                        So, no better than the 1V? Sony will be done soon, like LG.

                          Everything about this phone seems to be good. I don't mind the thick top and bottom bezels (if not saying that I actually found myself liking them), SD card and 3.5mm jack still remaining are to be quite impressive, it's all good, but probably except its price at launched (but it might go down quickly, so who cares?). The battery life seems to be exceptionally impressive though, and maybe the change from 4K to FHD+ may not be that much of a downgrade as it seems to make the phone run for quite a lot longer.

                            Eno2, 15 May 2024They also had the Oppo Find X7 Ultra in for review for abou... moreYeah, true. The only thing that could justify that is the fact that the Find X7 Ultra is China-only, meaning that most people wouldn't be able to buy it, hence the longer time for the review to be published; it was simply not a priority, but the review still feels rushed, so for that there's no justification

                              So, iphone has weaker glass and frames lose painst easily even inside case.
                              But it has huge build quality ?

                                  Xperia 1 series never had any "green line" issues so far.. I think 1 VI gonna get it pretty soon

                                      Alright people, prepare your popcorn here because the Xperia 1 VI's review just came out, and it's going to be fun, especially a lot of has changed in 1 VI! 👀✨ (from the owner of both Xperia 1 II and iPhone 13 Pro Max)

                                        Eno2, 15 May 2024We got the review in the same day as the official launch, n... moreThey most certainly had the phone in for review for at least a week now, explaining why we haven't seen any of the other devices they've had in for review for a while get their full reviews published, like the Infinix Note 40 Pro+, nubia Flip...etc. It's because the Xperia phones, just like the Samsungs or iPhones, are more 'prioritary' when it comes to which one gets reviewed first
