They want a point and click camera that can be relied on. That's why Xperia phones are niche and can't compete in the mainstream.

                To read all these negative comments from users that does not know better is saddening, all these iPhone/Samsung fanboys that do not even know that SONY is making most of the other brands camera modules is kind of funny. I had Sony phones for the last 8 soon 9 years and I have always been happy with the quality, I bought the xPeria Z5 back in 2015 that lasted up to fall 2021. That is the longest lasting phone I ever had, got the xPeria One iii back in November 2021 and I have been more then happy with it. To have the system camera feautures at your hand that you can set shutter speed/iso and limited with aperture, gives a real chance to be artistic! So people that are BASHING the Sony phones they NEVER OWNED one, and if they taken the chance they would most likely be pretty da*ned amazed as even I got with the xPeria One iii I will soon upgrade to the last version. And I also have SONY when it comes to system cameras, so instead of hating on SONY give them an honest chance there is a big chance that you will thank me later...

                          LucasN82, 31 Oct 2023Amazon? In Europe it is normal available (even in Poland). ... moreWell probably Sony saving and don't want sell on markets where people are brainwashed by iPhone or Samsung? 😄 But that probably nonsense

                          In Europe here also are many Samsung snd iPhone lovers.... I think they are overvalued. SONY Xperia hete is like sneaking tiger, napping dragon 😄 Win fights and people hearts silently 😄 i'm big SONY Xperia smartphones lover, And Sony phones since SONY Ericsson k700i and now Xperia 1 iii is my fifth Smartphone from SONY ❤️ Never bought Samsung or iPhone. Just once time tryed Xiaomi Mi9T Pro after using 3 SONY Xperia smartphones in row last of them before Xiaomi was SONY Xperia Z5 Compact, but after Xiaomi again comeback to SONY Xperia with 1 iii smartphone. Honestly saying: before comeback to SONY still thinked about Samsung Galaxy Flip 3 or Flip 4 but heart just go to SONY camp 😄❤️

                            I just wish Sony would utilize the top bezel more by adding 3D facial unlock, that's the only thing i feel is missing on this phone for me. It's a shame that people who've never held this phone would always come here to bash on it.

                                Testers doesnt test HLG mode. Believe me iPhone has no chance (in HLG mode phone has diferent ISO parameters - probably dual [HDR] ISO - base/start ISO is much lower -> lower noise). Testers are cunning foxes

                                  Sony Xperia 1 V phone is the best flagman phone you can buy with 512 GB -1,5 TB memory.
                                  It's almost all the way better even if you compare with iPhone 15 Pro Max. What have iPhone better:
                                  1 photo in auto mode look more beautiful although not natural.
                                  2 video in the dark scene.
                                  3. Higher peek brightness of the screen.
                                  4. Faster charging speed.
                                  5. Longer OS support although new phone and soft releases slows down your phone which is never case with SONY.
                                  Sony has better than iPhone:
                                  1. Although sound is good on iPhone Sony managed to make it better.
                                  2. Audio jack, which can be use as microphone as well.
                                  3. Photos. Sony does not make unrealistic colors and tries to keep picture as natural as is. Check the gsmarena site snail picture and compare. Check for grey wall of the building up from the snail. All flagship phones except SONY on the right ending of grey part of the building draw rainbow which does not exist..
                                  4. Video: Sony's all back cameras can make 4k 120 f/s video.
                                  5. Android almost as clean as Google phone.
                                  6. For gaming have special soft + you can change color balance, and more settings including ability to play from cable energy without damage for battery and reducing heat.
                                  7. Have 2 standards for dust/water resistance IP65 and IP67.
                                  8. No tool needed to open Nano Sim/memory card slot..
                                  9. You can have 2 working sim cards (1 Nano + 1eSim) and put in additional memory card up to 1 TB (1 TB microSD card cost ~50$ at Amazon.com)
                                  10. Screen is 4k and have enough brightness for sunny days.
                                  11. Photo/video settings to make pictures/video are the best on the market.
                                  12. Dedicated button for photography.
                                  13.... sorry but I listed only things which is important for me. There are more....
                                  Finally this phone has more memory that any other flagman. Total memory of the phone with 1GB memory card is 1,25TB or 1,5TB.
                                  When you are comparing other flagman phones you should compare the flagman with the best memory option to be somehow more close to Sony in terms of memory. So iPhone 15 Pro Max 1 TB - 1599 $, Samsung S23 Ultra 1 TB - 1820 $ and SONY Xperia 1 V with 1,5 TB is only 1050,- $. -so logically this is bargain for what you get. Sadly today there only few who think logically and buy SONY instead of Samsung or iPhone.

                                    2. have not objectively tested the battery, but it can last for a day... i usually charge in the morning, daily, regardless of the remaining percentage...

                                    3. i agree with the basic mode doing better (esp when i can only compare it to 1ii personally)... but i have been using the photo pro and cinema pro since 1ii... it gives you freedom to underexposed or overexposed, depends on what you want to convey... and playing with the shutter is good for lowlight+long exposures... it is more fun than point and shoot esp when you get the hang of it...

                                      Mgm, 03 Nov 2023For that price, you could probably get an iPhone 15 or 15pl... moredifferent platform...
                                      and 15/15 plus is still 60hz, does not support always on, does not have a dedicated telephoto camera, has display cutout (good if that is your thing), unbalanced speakers, and you are considering the cheapest variant... a 256 variant of 1v is less expensive than 15/15 plus, non expansable either, no headphone jack...
                                      so, implicitly, you are suggesting an alternative which costs more for less capability...
