    Very unrefined UI, after using it for 2hrs, installed Microsoft luncher and worked much better but the phone overall is below meh!

    60hz refresh rate is terrible, makes the phone seems laggy and dated.

    Terrible thermal/heat distribution, phone gets hot under barely any stress.

    Sim eject is nail pull rather than conventional push sim ejector.

    Odd screen shape long and narrow

    No facial recognition unlock?! Seriously Sony?!

    Lacking basic native apps, no clock widget with weather, no note app, settings seems weird compared to default android, something is missing.

    Slow charging for today's standard.


    Camera was great but broken in 3 apps makes it slow and inconvenience.

    Decent screen quality but there are phones with better AMOLED options cheaper than wanna be premium.

    Headphone jack, you think it's a nice feature but then realize all your headphones are Bluetooth!

    Barely any decent case or screen protector options in US or Japan, clearly tells you no one cares!

    There aren't any decent phones that is not made by ccp

    Checked out numerous phones, very little good option without chance of China spying in your device.

    Xperia 1V unboxing was perhaps worst experience in any phone. Oddly enough it was same exact as Beats headphones packaging but that comes with carry case and usb c cord and that's an apple product expected for most overrated company to cut corner.
    But again the phone itself was nothing more than basic like it's packaging... Returned after 2 days.


    2 days before returning Sony Xperia 1 v, returned OnePlus 12, that one the UI was terrible.


    Phone history recent to past.
    After returning Sony,

    Now - ASUS ZenFone 11 ultra(so far been very good, better screen, UI, fast charge, headphone jack for whatever reason and great performance so far, will review under spec if it makes it before return window closes)

    2023 - Nothing 2
    2022 - Asus zenfone 9
    2021 - oneplus 8T
    2020 - OnePlus 6T
    2018 - Samsung S8

      Love it! The quality, the feeling of using it - Sony is ... well Sony :) spirit of excellence. I have SD card and use jack 3.5 headset . Call me old fashioned but I love it.
      I had Samsung before, but they dropped the SD cards which was frustrating - we are forced to pay more ...
      Glad that this happened since I came back to Sony :))

        Increase the width sony like 77 to 80 for good looking phone

          SonyScamNumberOne, 06 Sep 2024I don't want that. You deserve to use less advanced te... moreiPhone/Samsung/Chinacrap:
          max 4K60fps crap HDR
          Xperia 1V:
          4K120fps HLG (BT2020 HDR@150mbps) on all lenses with AF (minimum two times [!] more data for processing, more bandwidth, more data for AF; Xperia can do that; competitors cant). Free VideoPro app with full manual modes even on 4K120fpsHDR and [!] even full manual while recording [we can change values even when recording begun] - top on the market features; even Blackmagic for me can compete with VideoPro App.
          Less advance are those toys for girls but they have crap Cirlce to search for people that dont know how use brain. How long will you humiliate yourself? I can extinguish you with one film, but for now I feel sorry for you :D :)

                      I need ultra crips 4K 120fps HDR (HLG - Japan/UK technology) video recording mode with rec2100 color space. That is PRO feature that I use most of time.
                      I use this feature even today when I record videos all day in forest with PRO Alpha 7MS3 and Xperia 1V. I can match almost video quality of full frame camera on Xperia 1V and soon I will drop proof. Go watch cartoon network man.

Does it have aqua touch, faster charging than others, "magic eraser", "circle to search", AI photo editors, is it customizable without root like other brands for example samsung? You can edit settings page, edit navbar, change icon sizes and looks, create your own themes for stock launcher, customize your volume bars and so on. Let me repeat myself yes sony has way less features than competitors. I'm not even talking about software support which s***ks compared to apple, samsung and google.
