Stanley Kubrick, 11 Jun 2023I had three reasons to want this phone... (1) Front facing ... moreI have tagged your post but will aomddress other comments to save multiple post
Yes the head phone jack is a wonderful stand alone feature. It being on top neat, the counter argument is the Type C can be fitted with dual charger / 3.5 mm jack

The Notification LED is a point I don't get, there ISN'T an app to replace it as the LED was separated.

The reason I dont get it as for most time my phone is in my pocket. I don't understand the need to respond immediately to another event, I don't therefore had my phone in my hand all the time

So yes I did have a Blackberry Z10 (which had a notification LED) as a 2nd phone, it's usefulness was very low.
Generally you do get a small faction who won't turn off a phone especially annoying in a cinema, I could go on.

Here is the comparison with S23 and 13 ultra https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=12263&idPhone2=12024&idPhone3=12236

The base model I V memory is the second for the S23
Motorola phones that support memory cards support 512Gb, Samsung phones support 1Tb. Sony I don't know My point is a 512Gb card top specs top brand, cost will be a fraction of the cost between the 1Tb and 256Gb S23
(those who state they need 1Tb)

Re no charger in box All Type C cable minimum is 60W, 3A
The PD you buy must be considered also, you would NOT
in most likelyhood get the speed charging the 13 ultra if you bought a standard cable, as it's cable supports 90 Watts
It is both the cable and charger which determines or limits speed up to the phone supported level
USB micro usb are typically 5 watts formula Watt = Volts X Amps 5 volts X 1 amp

Re the initial price and freebies. Sometimes even networks make mistakes when offering phone plans, suffice to say I was looking at sim free and sim only contract to replace a phone digitiser issue. Saw this and went for it, within 2 weeks price adjusted upwards
I normally pick a phone then make sure nothing better has come along, but in this case I was living inside Gsmaren and said hey an went for it.
It was very good and very true.

Timing is everything will the price decrease, how long do I have to wait . The Galaxy S23 Ultra has dropped approximately 20 % in 4 months

Six months after look launch maybe the time to get a new phone
Having said that it could be that the price holds, due to anyone who looks at the pixel fold and visits Gsmarena will be adding to demand.

I am in shock, look the more you are willing to spend it would is should be incumbent to do a basic search

            Anonymous, 11 Jun 2023Well said, at least Xperia has microSD and headphone jack w... moreThe only niche one here is the Notification LED mind, but I haven't seen it for ages and have relied on vibrations/sound notifs instead rather than the LED (+ I don't use the AOD as its a battery sapper lol); I think the only thing that I would have a personal criticism of Sony for is not trying to bridge the 10 and 5 lines together with a powerful midranger that takes advantage of the strengths of both series, though I imagine for them its not worth the risk given how volatile that market segment is so they'd rather focus on flagships at the end of the day

              Already have this on pre-order so will add some thoughts if I ever get the time to (or if someone reminds me), however I think this has been one of the most exciting devices to me personally bc of the fact that it continues to keep features that I care about the most whilst not caving into much of the current design or feature trends that exist; whilst I appreciate that pro photography is not my niche it would be good to learn personally, and may even be a bridging point between myself and getting a mirrorless camera in the future if I decide to do so :3

              My initial reasons for going for this device over others is primarily my use case (listening to music on the device itself, general multimedia-heavy focus of this device by preserving things like the 3.5mm headphone jack + microSD slot, both of which I use though regrettably I chose the A90 5G from Samsung that omitted this in favour of the microSD card slot, and also being powerful enough to throw w/e at it without the need to worry about whether something works); I'll probably have to change some of my phone usage habits for definite however to accomodate for the software experience but here's hoping that I'll be able to use the phone well and easily going forward

                Sony xperia 1 iii, 31 May 2023Not true. It does have a notification light. :)No it doesn't ! Sony has removed the notification light for the Xperia 1 v !!!

                    They need to improve optical zoom to at least 10X (like Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra).
                    They also need to improve brightness of screen. The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra has 1750 nits brightness.
                    And finally, please keep the microSD card slot. I plan to switch from Samsung to Sony because Samsung did away with the microSD.

                        Yeah someone answered me in a review from Youtube, my apologize to Stanley, I will miss it too but I do not mind about it, but it will be cool to have it, I think since Xperia 1 Mark 3 is already gone

                          KaChai, 13 Jun 2023Here it is. https://electronics.sony.com/mobile/smartpho... moreI think Erin doesn't know what they're talking about. Every review I have seen states that it no longer has the LED notification. I, for one, will miss it as well. Such a nice feature to look over and be able to figure out if it's worth picking up the phone to check the notification right then or if it can wait.

                                Hi JuicyJ, thanks for your interests. Yes, it will.

                                With its next-generation Exmor T for mobile sensor and computational processing, the Xperia 1 V delivers low-light pictures that you never thought possible on a smartphone, with less noise and wider dynamic range – and videos with cinematic colour expression. Its imaging prowess is complemented by a host of other features, from immersive entertainment to functional, tactile design.

                                Regards,
                                Erin
