truly a phone with everything

    Jemlim, 24 Sep 2022I didn't say they will definitely get hacked, I only s... moreDepends.
    If a phone system has numerous more thrd party bloatware outside googles ecosystem, then yes, security patches, from the manufacturer, are needed for longer.
    But, as close as a system is to a bare android one, there is less concern, as google does their own security patches through google play store.

    So for ex, Sony is closer to stock, Sammy is full of their own bloat. Sony for ex uses Android Assistant, Sammy uses their own Bixby. Both applications can be hacked to use your microphone or camera to spy for your important information.
    The catch is, Assistants security is constantly updated throug Google Play Store, by google and for as long as you use your phone, but Bixby one is not, so Sammy has to update its security on their own through their own patches.
    Simply said, Googles Assistant is indefinitely protected from hacks, whilst Bixby is protected for just those 4 yrs of updates Sammy promises...
    One is most longterm secure with a Googles own Pixel phone, but Xperias having near to stock android, are next in line of longterm security, and probably dont even need their own security updates for more than google obliged 2 yr update cycle.

              I dont know, or care, how other OEMs treat their phone updates, or whether they actually programme them to break down after their final update, but be sure Sony OEM does not break down their phones intentionally after update circle...

                Xperia 1 IV still not available in the US from Sony. Now their storefront is saying that it will be available in late October.

                I would buy one in a heartbeat but the only option to get it is global rom that is missing LTE and 5G bands. Very sad state of affairs.

                  Jemlim, 21 Sep 2022Finally, how do you even know that I’m a kid? By the way I ... moreJust by acusing and bulling a person because you don't like a product it's saying all about your age and capability to be impartial and have a clear logical sustainable opinion about a product that you have never had and you didn't actually use it! I am an old Sony Ericsson and Sony Xperia collector! I currently have a big collection of this legendary phones so I am very capable to give an user experience opinion! I just want to help the new users, to know what they are buying, the good and the bad. But you coming here and make statements like. "this phone is garbage don't buy" it's not acceptable and not even a single person will belive your "kid words" so please stop writing here because nobody will belive you! I don't care about your age. Stay safe and grow.

                    I have been using the Sony Xperia 1 range for over a decade. This one just tops them all! If you have never used the Sony Xperia range it's hard to comment about it by just looking at the specs and the price and then making an opinion .just like and android phone user would make about an IPhone without using one. This is a phone to buy and xperience the magic of this range of smart PHONES you won't regret it. I have already two of my previous models to my generations down the line and the phone has survived too date despite the physical abuse

That’s not good evidence as a person with bad vocabulary or grammar could be typing that. And whatever guess you might make, it would not even come close to my real age (which I will not tell)

                          n0-way, 21 Sep 2022So you are a kid right? And an android hater as we can clea... moreI literally meant that there were 2 year software updates and 2 year of software updates, which Sony provides, not 2 year software updates and 2 MORE year of security updates. I am not going to read whatever else you said. And I AM NOT AN ANDROID HATER OR IOS HATER AS YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE, SO DONT MAKE ASSUMPTIONS WITHOUT PROOF. Now get out.

                            Jemlim, 21 Sep 2022i said '2 years of security updates (not to mention so... moreSo you are a kid right? And an android hater as we can clearly see. Learn how to read little kid ; 2 years of software update and after that 2 more years of security updates {now I hope you can read and understand this} so this means that a Xperia 1 mark 4 user is set and safe for at least 4 years! Not to mention the Sony quality products that Sony users are used to it and knows what it is! So please stop been stubborn and point your opinion with evidence and be polite little kid! Not everyone here are easy bite.

They can't dedicate everything towards one phone most phone contracts expire on a two year period. Which means two years you'll have a new phone anyhow.

                                  Jemlim, 20 Sep 2022All of those premium features and ruined with 2 year securi... moreI think you are joking right? 2 years of software and two more years of security updates are reasonable! 4,5 years is the average time for a person to keep a phone till they will exchange it with a new one! This is the almost perfect flagship phone with great display, cameras, battery 🔋, SD card, 3.5 jack, and so so 8 gen 1 procesor! {seems like sony is pushing more and more updates to fix the problem about the overheating}! At this hour there is NO OTHER PHONE THAN CAN MATCH THIS! With the next generation 8+1 gen processor this will be the 99% perfect phone! 1 more year folks.. ..

                                    All of those premium features and ruined with 2 year security (not to mention software) updates for an ultra flagship. TOO FEW UPDATES, DO NOT BUY THIS GARBAGE!

Xperia 1 are considered as their highest tier model lineup, while Xperia 10 are considered as their lowest tier and it's bit cheaper. Xperia 5 is kinda in the middle tier, that would explain why their resolution screen are just HD not a 4k resolution.
