Has FIVE!!! different Sony camera apps (Creator Alpha app), how many camera apps did yours come with? Sony Music Player (subscription for Pro), Bravia Core (Sony Movies catalogue 4k60 by subscription), Sony headphones. Afaik, only the gallery and file manager apps are Google. Fans also want it as close to vanilla as possible without manufacturer bloatware.

This phone is great. I see that there is a light for incoming messages, you will probably activate it with some update. Am I right Sony?

TAX1BUS101, 07 Jul 2023bro Sony should have fingerprint on screen like oppo.No thanks! Too unreliable. Rather have Underscreen Camera instead & having power button + fingerprint is more practical & more reliable.

NeverPayOver1000eur, 02 Jul 2023All this arguing is pathetic. I already own the Xiaomi 13 U... moreSo I got my Xperia 1 V today. Honestly, it's one of the most beautiful phones I have ever seen and I don't even care so much about how phones look. But it looks like a work of art. The textured back is so nice in the hand that I don't want to use a case for it. The entire phone feels like it's built like a tank. The glass screen feels so much more premium than my Xiaomi 13 Ultra too. The buttons are super tactile and the fingerprint sensor is flawless.
So far the stock Android experience is great. But I do hate that I cannot reverse the "back" and "drawer" buttons on Xperia devices. No idea why they took that feature away after Android 10. Xiaomi, OnePlus and Samsung all have that feature. Still, I swapped the buttons on my Xiaomi too, so at least they are the same on both phones. I will just get used to it.
Camera performance is incredible. Much, much better than I expected. I do have the Photography Kit for Xiaomi 13 Ultra and I do really like that, but the shutter button there has a lag on it, because it uses bluetooth. No such lag whatsoever on the Xperia 1 V.
There are a few small things I noticed on the Xperia 1 V. It's less easy to change the video FPS. Some settings are really hidden (buried) in the camera app too. You have to change a few things if you want the best quality video and photos. Plus you need actual skill to make use of the photography app. Otherwise the app is amazing and I will definitely get some good use out of it too.
I have taken some comparison photos with my Xiaomi 13 Ultra and the Xperia 1 V and honestly. Both of the cameras are so good. The Xiaomi is a bit more moody, but the Xperia is much more cinematic. Xiaomi is better in low-light for sure, but the texture and sharpness for Xperia are just incredible. Xperia also has far sharper and more detailed zoom from between 10x-15x too. It's pretty much neck-and-neck for 1x-10x zoom though.
I can see why Xperia has so many fans. My last Xperia was the Pro-i. I loved the camera on that device, hated the phone. I will say though, that this Xperia 1 V does definitely still heat up fast! If you use the proper HDR and high-quality stabilization. It gets hot pretty quick. Will need to test more to see if that prevents recording but I don't do a lot of video anyway.
Also nice, is that mine qualifies for the free 1000XM5 headphones too. Even though I already got a pair. I'll sell the ones I got already 1 year ago almost, and use these new ones.
