I anticipated so much more from Sony. Last phone I used was zx premium. I was always loved their premium designs. And Great cameras. But they are unable to step up the game. I guess they could but don't want to. With this attitude the failure is imminent again. Unless they go on pricing war with Chinese brands that's highly unlikely.

    What i dont like with sony phones is their slowmotion is just 120fps and there is no timelapse in their camera app, i wish timelapse is available here and a higher 1080P slowmotion too

          Logically, if a 5VI were to be released in September, it would end up with following differences to the 1VI:

          1. Smaller display and body
          2. No telephoto
          3. 8gb RAM
          4. Storage halved: 128gb and 256gb

          Everything else identical.

              RoyalBlue, 16 May 2024From one side you have the "why would anyone buy this ... moreYour comment is so unnecessarily exaggerated.

              0.1%? The resolution of a display isn't a 'feature', it's a fixed specification, you realize that right?

              If you are buying it for QHD, chances are you will have it on QHD 100% of the time. And who says such a phone (e.g. Galaxy S24U) doesn't come out at QHD by default in the first place? Well tbh, I'm not certain if it does. But if QHD isn't set by default, I think that is quite a stupid decision by Samsung imo.

              Of course price is the main "make or break" factor here. Nobody is denying that. I am not denying that. If this was marketed around $699, it would all make sense! But the fact this is a $1300 phone, and therefore we should expect a higher resolution. That is MY point.

                Dear Sony, please make a rounded bezel less 18:9 phone. There aren't a lot of 18:9 smartphones. (Think of the Oppo N Find's cover screen)

                  If they got rid of the chin but kept the top bezel (like the Pixel 4) it would look so much better.

                    I think Sony listened up all the fans and corrected those complaints. Looks to be a great phone. I can't wait to use it.

                        Maybe because of 4k on my phone xperia 1iv I should have been charging 2time a day a night twice recording video and editing …so the solution is maybe il go for Xperia 1vi for longer 2 day battery life.. the resolution at full hd plus is pretty good.. maybe im ok without 4k display..

                          NeonHD, 15 May 2024Either they lower the price, or they should make an effort ... moreI wish they priced it more competitively, but we need to ask what Sony's goals actually are. As a phone, I bet if Xperia 1VI was priced competitively it could outsell it's competitors, its really that good. But does Sony care about that? Does Sony care about manufacturing more units for increased demand? I hear Xperia phones aren't even available in certain markets. It appears that Sony's goals are different to other OEMs.

I wish I could hack into their brains and replace 12mp with 24mp and Quad Bayer with simple RGB!

                                Dropping 4K display not for a 2K but a HD plus?
                                You get that on entry level phones and they wanna charge flagship prices? Its was the perfect phone but why Sony why? I will not be buying this device when I was holding out for this for a very long time. Its truly sad. I don't know what goes on people mind when making these decisions in massive companies

                                  It does not matter if you don't think people use it. Including an sd card costs next to nothing and it's a sign of respect for the costumer which people should appreciate regardless if they use it or not. That said a lot more people than you'd think would like to use one. If no one wanted the option 512gb versions of phones would not exist.

                                      Anonymous, 17 May 20244k isn't their unique selling point, at least for most... moreThe vast majority of consumers do not know what LTPO even is. We do because we understand tech but ask anyone else and they won't have a clue and frankly won't care. It is a great feature for sure and essential in 2024 but not that many people care about it as you think. MicroSD and headphone jack are nice to have for sure (and a USP over other phones) but again less relevant for the majority of consumers. I for one love having them but never use them. And I have my display on my 1 III set at 60hz to conserve battery as 120hz drains the battery much faster and I don't notice that much of a difference anyway. What always made my Xperia cool and stand out were the 21:9 aspect ratio, 4K HDR display, the rear camera, dual SIM and the overall high quality of the phone
