After those 4 years you can get a custom ROM or just continue using the phone or selling it and getting a new one. Sure it's not the best but it is enough

User. Hi., 20 Jul 2024So, you did pay over 1000 Euro. 💀I haven't paid for a phone in 8 years. My company pays for a new phone every 12 months. I've said this a few times now.

I would consider buying this over the 1 V because it can shoot 4K up to 120 FPS. That's just amazing.

I put the Xperia 1 VI camera app on my 1 V. Now I have a phone with much better display than the 1 VI and still the camera app benefits. No need to "upgrade" to a worse screen.

The only thing you can find there in opinion section that camera has manual mode and that's it. Seems like this phone doesn't have other features like delete screenshots after sharing them and similar good things from other phones.

Going through the comments, trying to find any real life review of the phone, and all I see is people arguing about nonsense. Gotta love the internet.

It's not a perfect phone and it's not for everyone. I has its pretty surprising shortcomings. But I love it.
I charge it every day, but I only use 20-75% of battery range. It stands out in its look and feel as it always was. It's huge, I can't safely hold it with my ring and little finger as I used to with iphone mini. It gets warm sometimes, but they definitely solved the overheating problem.
Now the main part, the camera.
It struggles in the dark, especially on 48 and 85+ mm lenses. Tele lens is shaky. Noises are here as always. Computational photo is not its strongest side.
But the first two street photos are taken in the night on 85 lens. The moon is taken on 170 + max digital zoom to 510 mm equivalent. Tram is 48 mm and it's intentionally long exposed. The last macro is taken in the evening. All are handheld. First two street in auto mode.
What I like the most is how it makes photo natural while somehow making it a bit more memorable. It doesn't oversharp, overcontrast, overcolor photos, but in the same time I can't get enough excited of a basic everyday things: a street, a lamp, a tree, a building. All the usual became beautiful.
Now about camera features no one of so called "tech blogger" told.
Tracking eye autofocus is a beast. It's fast and accurate. Object tracking sometimes even recaptures the object when I put down the phone, reposition myself, and then raise it back a few seconds later.
It takes up to 30 full photos per second (up to 20 with hdr) while tracking the object and maintaining the focus, switching from eye to body autofocus and back while the model turns and walks. iPhone 15 pro, for comparison, takes 10 with a fixed focus and the first photo is delayed by 0.5-1 seconds.
It has manual focus (iphone doesn't, what a "pro"), computational photo and hdr can be disabled, so it doesn't "fix" you photo of a foggy night into a clear day looking photo. Face/eye recognition can be disabled, so you can focus on something else while the face is in frame.
White balance is usually good in auto mode, but it can be configured up to the things I haven't even heard of.
And of course there is a full manual mode, where you control iso and shutter speed as you want. There are also exposure metering, focus area, and other settings.
Camera – with its object detection, tracking, and stuff – is the most battery spending app, according to accubattery it spends 14% per hour. It's about a 6+ hours of camera usage in a row on a single charge. How is that? (I don't play games though)
