So far most usless and overrated phone ever. Pretty much medium range camera with some google functions. No helpful gesture function, no nothing. Typical google spying engin with usless google stuff. Priced like a pro phone while its neither a good camera nor a phone. Good hardware doesnt make it work smooth. 5 min and it swithc off due the overheating plus work a if powered by coal steam engine...Not recommended at all. Gonna come back to my old z3 c wich seems to work faster then this thing. Ps. Gonna try to root it and instal some usefull non google infected rom.If that doesnt help its gonna go .

    Hello:
    Which device gets hotter, Xperia 1 IV vs Xperia 5 IV vs Xperia 1 (2019)?
    I have the Xperia 1 and I would like to know if the Xperia 1 IV heats up more or less than the Xperia 1.
    Thanks and regards.

      Hector, 25 Oct 2022I went from an S9+ I am never buying Samsung again..Many others are doing the same! Supreme quality in time and system versatility!

That trend samsung and apple had started it! They are just following the trend, sadly. Remember xperia 1 mark 3 had all the goodies in the box when all the competition samsung and apple had nothing than the phone! And no, the s22u 256gb version is 1200e and the xperia 1 4 is just 978e and you can easily add 1tb SD card. So it's just a matter of taste right now. Sony is cheaper! But you are right about the reselling/trade option/power.

When Samsung offers $1000 TIV for a S21U with a cracked screen. It's hard to really beat that...I'm also not a fan of Sony not even giving you a charging cable with their phones anymore...I can kinda excuse the chargers since I do already have better chargers at home but cables break all the time. Google even gives you a USB-C to USB-A adapter in the box along with the cable.

            Sony: Hey lets keep the headphone jack and the Micro SD card slot.
            Also Sony: Hey lets remove the charger, headphones, and charging cable from the box.

            Kinda contradictory there. Whats next? you don't even get a box?

So it's a matter of taste! I respect everyone's choices but picking an 1 iv is a perfect option at this price nowadays! No more overheating problems after the last updates! A powerful processor will overheat in any phone. Yes the u22ultra is cheaper {the standard low storage option} but you don't have the option to increase the storage... Sadly. 270e price difference to have that option? Yes please!

                    n0-way, 05 Oct 2022Please share your thoughts about the overheating situation?... moreThis phone overheats a lot. It is the only phone at my local Best Buy that is warm when I pick it up from the demo units. All the other demo unit phones are cold when I pick them up. This phone has many other reasons to buy it but if one of your main concerns is "processor performance and thermals" then I might suggest looking at something else.

And you can add a 512gb sd card or 1tb, witch is way more cheaper than the s22ultra any version. So it's a clear win for the Sony! But we must respect everyone's opinions and choice! Cheers!

                        Please the software interface is nice but sony make your app replacement, and software skin to replace Google because this is already getting boring, no sony app store, no sony replacement to Google. Maybe it could be better than s22 ultra if it has a user interface and strong software experience

                              I got this phone about two weeks ago, everything's so nice and crisp, the vibration motor is one of the best i've used, it's a nice strong vibration (better than iphones imo).
                              The cameras are hard to use to get a good picture and needs practice & editing (because there's almost no computational AI photography processing here).

                                  you try to save yourself from your weak position by saying that everyone would support you and condemn me.
                                  by addressing me with crude insults you show that you have no arguments to refute my findings, which once again shows that they are correct.
                                  moreover, you didn't present me any argument and you only insulted me from the moment i expressed my totally objective opinion.

                                  p.s.: nobody cares about people who only bully but never win.

                                        The specs are still not correct and understate many important features.
                                        BINAURAL recordings were present since V which I didn't realised until I start hearing my recordings using head phones.

                                        None of my phones or those that I have access to have binaural recording, including g iPhone 6s. My current Xiaomi phones are still listed as having stereo audio recording but in fact they don't, probably not even the latest ones with 8K recording which disappoint me.

                                        Not sure if this latest Xperia still has binaural recording. What kind of HDR? Still HLG? For YouTube
