Sony Xperia 1 V

User opinions and reviews

Sort by:

I genuinely believe that most people here have a completely wrong approach when it comes to Xperia devices. With everything Sony has going on, which makes them a ton of money, their phones are not meant for the consumer market. At this point, their phones are just an enormous flex. They pulled out of most markets, and they basically do not care about revenue. Their phone division seems like an after school project, just to pass some time after the actual work.

              Got my Xperia 1 V a couple of days ago. Just love it... Fully charged 25 hours ago, android 14, took pictures, used some apps, browsing for a couple of hours, 120Hz. Now I´m at 80% battery, and don´t need to charge until tomorrow..., maybe.

And I was reading another comment about how the ability to repair the phone is more environmentally friendly although a reasonable argument could be made that a much longer support window likely would be even more beneficial than that.

                            As someone who lives in a rural Verizon-only hellhole (the Verizon, not the rural) compatibility with their MVNOs is a concern of mine, and if I were to go for this phone now my wallet would take a good Christmas beating, but that's it. I see absolutely no other flaws with this phone. Good god I want it so badly

                              Sorzy, 19 Nov 2023I agree with you on this. I have been using Sony phones sin... moreI just ordered my xPeria One V today I had nothing more solid then Sony, and there will always be those "fanboys" that do want to hate other brands. And as you said I tried many other manfacturers too I even had a shitty iPhone once that I hated more then anything, the fact that you are locked up in some companies stupidity that require you to use iTunes just to manage your storage is just stupid. So easy with an android device plug it in and the device comes up as a storage device super neat and easy, maybe newer iPhones does this too but back then in 2010-12 they did not. There was so much limitations and crap that drove me to Samsung then to Sony and here I will stay, because Sony cares more about their users we still have the headphone jack etc do like apple remove all these feaures so you can sell "dongles" cant you just see how dumb this move is. Sure the market in the US is like 97% or what it was it is simply because people do not know better, so afraid of being them self stick your head out and make your self heard. And last Apples tactics for screwing 3rd party repairshops over by locking hardwares together is also something that is a big no no, I was thinking a while ago to get an apple macbook to edit video on but soldering the SSD to the motherboard is just retarded so before the fanboys speak go look at Louis Rossmans videos and you might save your self loads of problems, now I shall sit back and wait for my new phone that will cost me $870 for 3 years including 100gb of data too. It is always so funny when Apple realeses something new, then its been on the market for a decade like wireless charging etc. And that this Sony phone comes with a 4k display @ 120hz say no more, in 2-3 years again ill upgrade to another Sony phone because they are company to rely on compared to Apple that just wants to limit things so you really do not OWN it and god forbid if you want to repair it your self (yes im an electrician with electronics knowledge solder smt and so on) and for me Planned Obsolescence is something we got to work against take Apple for instance they say they are for it but they are NOT should we be enviromental friendly and reuse and repair? If you ask me YES and here is where I hate Apple!

                                The other 2 (5V and 10V) is responsible for the low sales numbers sony messed up this year with the lineup hope next year they fix it. Cough cough... needs Longer updates
