      Using 1V for 5months.
      1-Problems with Bluetooth stability in any settings, lusing conection and quality of sound.
      2-Scroling betwen apps, 40% apps restarting.
      3- Screen refresh rate not all time works on 120hz, restarting the phone helps for litle time period.
      4-Shakig the phone you hear the strange sound from camera module ( tested strange sound from camera module on other 1V phones in the shops all have sounds)
      Price high, quolity is low....
      I'm werry disapointed, they lose one more fan of they production.
      Sony rolls down.....

        Prove it. Post a screenshot link there. Liar pants of fire. I guarantee you will come with some kind of d*** excuse because you didn't achieve anything like that :D :D :D :D .

        It's sad that you point only samsung and apple... Maybe point nearest rivals like oneplus or nothing, asus, google? Samsung and apple are way ahead that's why they are best selling devices in the world. Trust me if those two companies so bad no one would want them. Sad truth huh?

        I doubt 2 people from 10 would choose this device over oneplus or pixel for example. 2 OS updates, no accessories, super bad auto camera, worst portrais of all phones, battery wasting 4k screen on such tiny body, missing a lot of features. Truth hurts :((

                Goodluck getting your data wiped when the company stored your cloud doesn't like it. It happens.
                "No wires > aux."
                Then why aux is still a thing in everyday life despite no wires is also prevalent? Talk about getting no choices. Sounds you are a Sheeple at this point.
                "Nokia Lukia 920 and even older phones had shutter button. Nothing special about it."
                Then why no modern smartphone manufacturers applied this today if this is nothing special and only will be again after Apple going to adopt in iPhone 16 series? Not even modern Nokia under HMD had it, not even Nokia 9 PureView or X30.
                "Every single phone uses dual front speakers lol."
                Stereo speakers or dual speakers that using Apple-type is common. Dual front-firing (all to the front, not hybrid) is only seen in Xperia today. Good luck finding those outside Xperia.

                "Wow Toolless SIM card tray for touching it 2 times per smartphone lifetime."
                Well, if you don't have any pin ejector and in an emergency, good luck ejecting those cards from the slot

                "Every single UI is clean even xiaomi fixed their UI. For sony it's even easier with almost 0 features compared to competition. No features=no buttons, no need for categories in settings and so on."
                Still, it's a preference. Don't like standard UI, find in Google Play. I like both Xperia UI and third-party UI.

                "Xyz microphones are not unique. A lot of smartphones used it in the past and for example s23 ultra is one of them. It's older than sony :))).:"
                Xperia Pro-I exists, honey. Both has xyz coordinate microphone. Xperia Pro-I released in Q4 2021, and it's 1.5 years older than S23 Ultra. Then what?

                "Which phone screen is interupted? XD. I think you are thinking about xiaomi mi mix 4 xDDD"
                Mi Mix 4 is the last Xiaomi phone to have its screen uninterrupted, without notches or punch-holes. Mi Mix Fold series, the successor to Mi Mix non-foldable series, now has a punch-hole. So what?

                "What the f proper sensors supposed to mean? Same sensors like all flagship uses? XDDD"
                Virtual proximity sensor is the best example.

Just like Xperia 1 II confirmed to have UFS 3.0 when people though it has UFS 2.1. It should have been the end of the discussion. If you're going to continue discussed with me about UFS type, then do it elsewhere.

I just got back from a 3 week journey in Japan and I am so glad I had this phone with me as I travelled across the country. It was able to consistently capture all of the beautiful cherry and peach blossoms in beautiful 10bit HDR. I gave my Xiaomi 13 Ultra to my wife and whilst she was able to take some incredible point-and-shoot shots, the Xiaomi was toasted in video quality and many of the shots I got from the Xperia turned out better.

                        It's definitely the most consistent camera ever. My wife's Xiaomi (it's hers now), took a lot of really good shots, but completely blew a lot of others. The only thing I wish this phone had was proper 2x optical zoom and not a huge jump to 3.2x. Still, cropping works fine and I am extremely satisfied having a physical shutter button. There's really very little I can complain about on this phone. No phone is perfect but there's no way I would take a Scamdung or Apple over this phone. If only they would improve the point and shoot experience a bit, I would be even happier.

                        God bless you.

                          N3rdsDestroyer, 18 Mar 20241. It is by far the most consistent camera I've ever u... moreAll of your comments are totally subjective. "Maybe you don't push your phone like others do", lol what? Because I don't play junk like Genshin Impact on my phone all day? Made, I just finished a 3 week trip in Japan (where this phone was made) and it consistently outperformed my wife's Xiaomi 13 Ultra. I took THOUSANDS of photos and hundreds of videos. I'm sorry you don't know how to use the camera on this phone, which is in a world of its own.

                          My wife's Xiaomi was completely schooled by the video especially. Nothing stands up to the Xperia IV in video with 10bit HLG. The only times I missed a shot with the Xperia was when I was walking. I had to remember to always be still with the phone and my wife's Xiaomi always gets a clear shot even when moving. It's a small price to pay for thousands of good photos. Between the two of us, we took 5000+ photos of Japan in 3 weeks.

                          I also got this phone for free thanks to work and I got a free pair of XM5 headphones with it. I think at least a handful of us here will get the device via similar means. Perhaps the best thing about the phone was that I took hour upon hours of 4K 60 and 120fps video and it never heated up, even in the 23°C heat and never lagged, stopped working or required a reboot or force close. My wife's Xiaomi constantly had to kill eg. Google/Naver Maps or something else because it was just freaking out in the heat all the time. Last week I had 14 hours of screen on time, mostly taking photos and videos and still ended up with 40% battery.

                          Sony isn't dying. That's like saying Nintendo is dying lmao.
