    I love that sony designed monitor of mobile complete, classic , and correct. Because no camera in the mobile phone monitor 👌❤️

      Anonymous, 10 Oct 2024You summing up your phones tells us you never used Vanilla ... moreI have also realised that most of my negative comments are related to pure android style. I got soo used to these simple but effective customizations which led me to think maybe all of them have it.
      Moreover, in my opinion, I have also forgot to make compliment about the camera. I believe it will satisfy most of the consumers. The ones who are not happy with it should understand that these small lenses on the phones will be never give the quality of dslr etc. pro cameras(till the moment we see an enormous technological developments including lens physics). Anyway, let me also write my conclusions because some people think that I have written these negative sides with a bad intention.
      1) Obviously for people who wants an all in one phone with headphone jack, removable sd card(which is soo useful to transfer all those images, videos, documents etc.), great speaker quality and of course, for me, great camera, this is the phone you should get.
      2) My first priority is always a battery life for a phone. Every other specs come afterwards, because when you have no battery, you can do nothing with a piece of plastic in your pocket. That's why, I am really happy with this battery life although I am using it with double sim(one of them is esim)
      3) Software issues are always resolved, these things are not a big deal. However, I believe there should be more customizations where Sony is strong about, like a gallery app etc.
      4) Maintenance mode and app lock is a must, I am not sure, maybe they will come with android 15.
      5) Notification led, face unlock, more accessories(in terms of protection) could be developed.

        irre, 09 Oct 2024should work with nova launcheri tried nova prime but i like xperia launcher more..
        i think double tapping its a simple task considering the display tech..

          Tolarch, 08 Oct 2024Hello everyone, after I have concluded my reserach about th... moreYou summing up your phones tells us you never used Vanilla Android. Alot of Sony is vanilla Android. Im not a sony person (though I did own sony phones before), but your negatives are positives for some. In general sony's phones arent really great anymore, but they got a small, but solid niche. Dont ask me what that niche is, since no sony phone shines in any perspective and most sadly never in the camera segment, which is just not understandable.

                      Hello everyone, after I have concluded my reserach about the 4G/5G band details for WW and EU models, I purchased EU model since I live there and didn't want to take any risks about. It's been almost 2.5 months since I am using this phone and I would like to share my ideas about it for 2 reasons. First, obviously, for others who is willing to buy this phone and answer their questions in mind. Second, as an experienced mobile phone user, expecting anyone from Sony side to read these comments and develop their future products by hopefully reading these comments. Because let me tell the last thing I should say in the first place, this phone makes me "wonder" the upcoming generations of Xperia 1 serious in terms of curiosity which I have lost for all the other brands. Well, as a starters, that's something really valuable. Before explaining let me tell you a little bit about my smartphone journey, htc hd2, htc one m7, moto x play, huawei mate 20 for myself(purchased bb passport,bb keyone,bb key2, htc windows phone 8x, microsoft lumia 950 xl, samsung s22-23-zfold4 for my family members) So, lets start,
                      Positive sides;
                      1. General build quality is fine
                      2. Speaker and headphone sound quality is great
                      3. Overall performance is nice
                      4. Being able to hide silent notifications in status bar(such as smart watch connectivity icon)
                      5. App spesific language selection
                      6. No dublicated app confusion, just pure google versions
                      Negative Sides;
                      1. Lack of face unlock
                      2. No easy toggle for sound/silence/vibration Will try to get used to that small icon above the volume settings
                      3. Fingerprint reader is problematic with an accuracy of 70%
                      4. Limited screen protector on the market (could be nice if one would factory installed) Solved it by buying spigen screen protector and quite great.
                      5. Camera lens protection is a must too since the camera bump became flat with the original case. Solved it by changing the phone case to Spigen and it has the enough protection for both screen and camera bump
                      6. Sony is capable of doing a better gallery app than Google photos or etc., come on, where is it? Currently using Google gallery app.
                      7. A shortcut for settings? Either a toggle on the top or a gear icon would be great. The easiest way seems to add settings on the homescreen.
                      8. Double tap to turn on the screen to check notifications but, to turn it off again? Should be double tap again etc. Power button also recognize fingerprint and the screen turn on completely, to turn it off again, we should press the power button again.I needed to turned off this settings since there is no way to turn off the screen afterwards
                      9. Where is app lock? Seriously? Had to install bitdefender security and solved it with that
                      10. Possibility of having the screen auto rotate function just on media apps, like gallery, netflix,prime etc. not any other application like browsers, twitter etc. ?
                      11. Maintenance mode? Or repair center mode etc? That's quite important.
                      12. No option to set up the home page to a desired page instead of the default left one?
                      13. Random restart (2 time)
                      14. Random airplane mode (1 time)
                      15. Random screen offs for around 10 seconds (2 times)
                      16. No smart cover /flip case(lack of quality cases). I might have got used to mate 20 smart flip case, and getting too nervous when I put the phone in my pocket without a flip case.
                      17. Notification led?
                      18. It might a google calling app software issue but in order to get rid off notification count for calling app, opening the call app is not enough, you should enter call history, go to missed calls. After that the count number dissappears. Let's not forget that when you open the call app, every call appears there, including the missed ones too.

                      These are my experiences so far. Thank you for reading.
