It's clearly not "VERY BIG DIFFERENCE" more like " a little bit better". But that's normal. No one releases marginally better devices every single year.

This says "GPS (L1+L5)" but GPSTest doesn't see any L5 satellites. Does it need to be enabled with a firmware update or something?

Nice phone, but just for thought.
4k resolution is only for photo/video, in other mode the phone is in 2k resolution and its sharpness is lower than other phones with native 2k resolution (this comparison is also on youtube and it's just physics and it's the same with monitors).
Second, look at how much this screen will cost if the phone fails (I think around 500USD just for the screen).

Anonymous, 28 May 2024how does this compare with pro i for photos?It's better than the Pro-i. Simiar camera but this has the full sensor size whereas the Pro-i had to sacrifice some of the sensor. You can compare the cameras a bit more closely yourself. There's also some Youtube comparisons too.

Fred, 23 May 2024I've had it for a little less than a year now and hone... moreHi, I had the 1iv and I was waiting to see what the 1vi was going to be like spec wise, I had heard all of the rumours about the screen being 2k which it is not even that! And the aspect ratio changing, so I made up my mind if it does have these in my opinion downgrades then I would buy the 1v instead. So after seeing the final spec sheet I did just that, Now I think Sony have already realised their mistake and are already dropping the price by 20%!!!! And it isn't even available to buy yet! Iv seen the usual price drop of the 1v after the 1vi was announced but I have noticed the 1v starting to rise in price on some places that were cheaper beforehand. I have a fairly large family they usually buy what I buy or sometimes a different model but even they couldn't believe what Sony has done. Yes it has a new chip but because I am coming from the 1iv the 1v is a big upgrade for me, I usually change my phone every two years, this is because there is not enough of a difference between them every year to justify the change. So I'm really happy with my new 1v and I won't be buying the 1vi or Sony unless they go back to 4k etc, sorry to rant on lol.

If you seriously wanted to convince people you didn't care, you're long past that point mate and should have stopped replying a long time ago.
Hey everyone, should we tell this guy how much better music sounds with the 3.5mm headphone jack? He's probably still using airpods lmao.
Btw, we both know you read every word. :) Guy like you who checks the comments routinely hangs on every single word. Wouldn't be surprised if you're on Reddit 14 hours a day.

I've had it for a little less than a year now and honestly I love it.
Side-fingerprint is a must have for me, it's snappy.
The camera is tricky to use, I'm not a big expert and it certainly has a learning curve. Sometimes the default settings of the camera make it take stunning pictures that are much more photorealistic and aesthetically pleasing than the pictures I've seen come out of Samsung and iPhones. That said, sometimes the contrast and the lightning make it take pics that look honestly mediocre. I'd recommend buying it with the expectation of slowly learning how to use the camera.
The microSD tray is heaven to expand storage and I plan to get that extra TB from it eventually, especially since 4K shooting means a lot of space is taken up if you shoot a lot of videos.
The flashlight is kinda weak. Every other flashlight I used on a phone felt like a beam from God but this one is really tame in comparison.
The screen is great. The brightness goes up to the right point. I'd like the max to be a bit brighter to see better in blazing sun brightness.
The back of the phone is nice for the texture, unfortunately I don't use it without a cover cause I don't want to risk anything.
The dedicated camera shutter button is incredibly, incredibly useful. Saved me many times when I had gloves on, and it feels good to use.
In terms of battery, I feel like it's a bit short, even more so than my last phone, but that's probably caused by me keeping it at 120Hz and it being a 4K display, so I guess that's the tradeoff.
I wish it came with a cable. Those things are destroyed quickly unlike powerbricks.
The signal, for me, is mid. My last phone got better service, and the internet feels pretty slow. Geographically I am in Italy and my operator is WINDTRE. I have 5G, but it is slower than my Huawei P20's 4G.
Speakers are really powerful.
It's incredibly light, especially without cover.
In terms of processor power I have no qualms.
There are a few reoccurring bugs that I've encountered that require restarts, so the OS feels somewhat unpolished.
Thank fuck it has a jack. It's the biggest saving grace. I can't be bothered to charge my earpods, so I'm glad I can avoid having multiple earpods. That was what bothered me the most about my P20.
Overall satisfied. I can't say I like the price point I bought it at (1170eur). For the current price I would recommend it wholeheartedly. It does everything, and the niche uses are a pretty active part of the experience (jack and sd, camera shutter button). Application support is not overly lacking but just behind other phone brands'.

Better videos straight out of the box: xiaomi 14 ultra, iphone 15 pro max. Go to the any store that has these phones, record simple video then give to your friend or whatever without IT knowledge. Let him decide which video is the best and don't tell him which one is which. Because that's the real test :))))

NeverPayOver1000eur, 16 May 2024I have posted at least 4 photos of my battery usage here on... moreoh yeah... mentioning about high bitrate... this is underrated - if people even know and appreciate this on video recording (i guess it will be downplayed by users of other popular brands)...
1v still has the highest bitrate, they slightly reduced it on 1vi, similar area to 1iv...
vivo, also another brand with high bitrate still cannot match what xperia 1 offers...
do not even consider comparing the bitrates of samsung and apple...

Anonymous, 17 May 2024I'm happy with any phone worth the price manufacturer ... moreI think you must be suffering from brain damage with answers like this. Every single one of my phones I get for free from work which I have said multiple times (like at least 10 times in the comments when people are dumb enough to mention my username); it's about not overpaying for a device in principle. By the way, the Xperia 1V is on Amazon now for €850. So checkmate. You could do with some reading and Googling practise.
You don't even own this phone but you're on here name dropping stuff like Doogee (lol what is this, some no name Chinese brand by the sounds of it?) and Blackview? Who are they? Brands I have never heard of and don't care about. Sony has been around for over 70 years. Why would I buy from a brand that probably hasn't even been around for 10 years? Least of all some Chinese brand. So you don't like Sony and don't care about AUX, alright no one cares. It's your loss not mine and I really don't care about you personally.
Why should I care about how often a phone gets updates when I swap my phone every 12 months thanks to getting to pick a new one for work? I am stuck with a phone only for 1 year before I get another one, so even if it really is a lemon I don't have to wait long to get a new model. Your manners need a massive improvement when talking to others mate and stop arguing things you don't know anything about. This is not reddit, you won't get points here. Just laughed at.
I'm still waiting for you to comment on the video specs I mentioned and name me a phone that takes better video (except for the Xperia 1 VI LOL).
