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!

      Xperia 1V is selling better than 1iv
      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

I have the phone, I use it every day, and even the point and shoot experience is awesome. The phone is lightning fast and superb in every aspect. With so many other options out there, I still see no reason for people to come here and just hate on the product.

                Peter Hagstrom, 09 Nov 2023To read all these negative comments from users that does no... moreI agree with you on this. I have been using Sony phones since before they were called Sony. It was Sony Ericsson then and moved into the, Z1, Z3, the 2019 Xperia 1, which I still have today. Never had a problem with the manual adjust or the automatic shots. I admit the night quality needed upgrade but looking at this Xperia 1 V I am totally impressed. Guess what; I had iPhones, 6 & 7, Samsung J7, A20, & S21 & what I see are minor changes in camera or storage and not really a significant change that makes me saw wow. I even had a Redmi 6 & Note 12 and neither can come close to what I have seen with Sony. Even the screen seems more durable than most other phones. I dropped my Xperia 1 a thousand times and never cracked the screen; the Samsung, cost me two replacement screens thus far. Try them before bashing them guys

                  Xperia 1V has become my first Sony phone and im really happy about that ❤️ Phone feels very quality and is ergonomic. I love the aspect ratio and quality of the 4K display. Sony is the last unicorn having SD card and 3.5mm jack 🤓 So far very good experience. No overheating , works flawlessly. Good job Sony 🤝
                  Hopefully we will see more great phones from you in the future.

Now of course we might take this with a pinch of salt, but I think there is a possibility to see the 1 VI with such a huge battery if they where able to put a 5000 mAh to some smaller models.

Are you really saying that without the ability to make creative choices about your photo you can get better pictures? Please elaborate further for this defies all logic. Not to mention no RAW in basic mode, not exactly friendly to advanced edits.

Considering the features they offer it's a bit of a duh moment. Who would've thought Sony's mobile division, which works closely with the alpha division of pro cameras, would be making phones for pros and not your aunt who can't get facebook to work on her iPhone 5? Crazy thought there lol.
