        Chinese flagships are better than Sony Xperia flagships especially in cameras

          Sony, 24 Jun 2023Sony is already dead. Outdated design, weird screen ratio, ... moreOutdated design? What Sony does is the real design in essence, what Chinese do is a fad and gimmick. Sony has a design language, dna, heritage, like Porsche. Chinese are like Lexus, with a huge predator grille. Sony has the best cameras if you understand photography. If you just point and shoot, go for Chinese. Sony will outlive them all, just look at what happened to Huawei and ZTE. Xiaomi is next for exit.

                You are using a site where there is an expectation that you can actually read, not just type out nonsense.

                I NOT ONLY STATED THAT NOT FROM SOME OBSCURE SITE BUT GSMARENA.COM ITSELF.

                I further went on to cite Amazon.com you could check this yourself, but NO

                As there has been no follow-up from the OP I assume they have read and understood the answer

                This is a site for INFORMED opinion not alternative fact
                https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=12024&idPhone2=12263

                So Galaxy S23 Ultra DOES have a CDMA model, Sony Xperia 1 V does NOT have A CDMA model

                So at date if Mangoon is correct, you could either contact Amazon.com buy one BYOD and ACTIVATE on Verizon...
                Or try to take out a Xperia 1 V contract with Verizon

                I tagged myself so my Ist post is linked to this re- emphasis.

                @ 06/24/2023 there us no CDMA model Xperia I V

                  I Just Read , 24 Jun 2023A FYI for all similar questions on specifications page ta... moreBut CDMA is only for 3G. And CDMA is no longer supported by Verizon. They were to stop support 3G in 2021, but ended in December 2022. Will post back with any issues.

                    AlexPP, 24 Jun 2023Will it have LTE 13 band (for verizon)? It does. 2, 4, 5, 13, 66 all available.

                      Sony is already dead. Outdated design, weird screen ratio, useless 4k resolution on such a tiny screen, mediocre cameras and overpriced. Also Sony tv are overpriced. RIP Sony.

                            AlexPP, 24 Jun 2023Will it have LTE 13 band (for verizon)? A FYI for all similar questions
                            on specifications page tap by "Technology" this opens up 2G to 5G band information for the phone

                            Why I think you will be disappointed, First I live in the UK, but that's not it.
                            You will see that there is NO CDMA so only a GSM phone

                            A further check shows only 2 model numbers.
                            This then led me to Amazon.Com which is selling this phone. Amazon specifically state that it won't work on CDMA network and list those networks Verizon is included

                              Mangoon, 23 Jun 2023Ordered the international 512gb version. Will be using it ... moreWill it have LTE 13 band (for verizon)?

                                Ordered the international 512gb version. Will be using it on Verizon, so will write back with thoughts and any connection issues that I have. Realize that there are missing 5G bands relative to US on Verizon, but I also live in rural Hawaii where I have only found 1 spot of 5G coverage anyway that works over about a hundred and twenty yards along one of the highways.

                                      Cmon Sony, any news on 5 V?

                                        Anonymous, 22 Jun 2023Too long to wait... Why don't they just release both 1... moreThere are at least three reasons I can think of why Sony didn't launch the Xperia 1 V and 5 V together:

                                        1.) Yes, Sony doesn't want overlapping between the 1 and 5 series, as the Xperia 1 series is treated like Samsung's Ultra or Apple's Pro Max series, where the best, cutting-edge, and newest features are always reserved for the Xperia 1 series (Xperia 5 series is treated like Samsung's vanilla S series to put in perspective), then trickle down or be given to the Xperia 5 series later on as a smaller, slightly-mainstream version of the Xperia 1.

                                        2.) The legacy of Sony Xperia's launching habit from the 2010s until now (although the Sony flagship series has been more streamlined since 2019, so there are some differences here), where Sony always split the launching of their Xperia flagship into two halves: the first-half of the year (January–June) and the second half of the year (July–December). The pattern and the devices of the Sony flagships are obvious; you can see them in either the Sony-Ericsson era series (Arc, then Arc S), between them (X Performance to XZ), or the current Xperia (1 IV to 5 IV). The differences, as I mentioned earlier, are that Sony now also treats the Xperia 1 and 5 series as distinctive entities of the series (like the Galaxy S series and Galaxy Z Fold/Flip series), so their successors are unveiled annually, unlike past Xperias, where the respective series are the same entities; hence, there was always a new (vanilla) Xperia flagship every 6 months back then, before 2019 (example: Z2 to Z3, XZs to XZ1).

                                        3.) The second-half of the year is probably the reserved timeline/timeframe where Sony will unveil their Xperia Pro series, and the Xperia Pro series isn't an annually-series Xperia, unlike their annually non-Pro Xperia (1, 5, 10, Ace series), so the Xperia 5 series fills the slot of the unveiling or reveal of the second-half if there's no Xperia Pro to unveil in a certain year (just like 2022 Xperia).

                                        Hopefully this answers your question, my good man.
