Tt2, 05 Jun 2024This phone has lost the slim elegance of Sony.
And simil... moreSony phones have only been like that for the last 5-6 years. Prior to that, they had the same aspect ratio as any other phone. I pushed Sony phones prior to the adoption of the 'mark' moniker. Sony's elegance is found in more than the aspect ratio. I truly believe this unorthodox aspect ratio and the smaller order volume is the reason we haven't had a variable refresh screen on a Sony phone since they moved to the 'mark' or mk series.
Other phones have adopted LTPO panels and variable refresh, but not once in a Sony prior to the 1VI. The 5V had a 1080p, but no variable refresh. Reason? The aspect ratio and the resulting cost of requesting a variable refresh with a custom screen with relatively small order numbers.
I think another reason Sony isn't doing as well as other makers, is that they have a fan/hater base that wants some hipster, niche device with niche qualities (which have higher production costs and lower demand) but they also expect it to cost the same or less than competing devices. They think that Sony is making the phone especially for them, and if anything about the spec sheet doesn't meet their exacting standards, that the company should crash and burn, or that it signals the smartphone Apocalypse! You should go read the Xperia reddit, it's wild!

This phone has lost the slim elegance of Sony.
And similarly to 1 V, it will be improved with updates for a year as long as it is usable (despite the fact that they had an identical 1 V before).
Those who want to be different, Sony brand and quality, but ready to compromise and wait more than a year for the phone to work stably, can choose 1VI.
For those who think rationally and are pragmatic, look elsewhere.

Sony should stick with gaming consoles where their business is thriving. The price is extremely extortionate for a 1080P device. This should be around $700. It is very hard to consider where cheaper Chinese phones are infesting the flagship category like a plague with better hardware and pricing.

But still too fragile glass back
It's like they all make flimsy phones on purpose
Well of course they do....

SonyOverpriced, 04 Jun 2024All the flagships are overpriced. Yep. Especially this one.... moreCharging speeds are designed to maximize battery longevity, and besides, 50% of this phone's battery is equivalent to 75% on another. Software support? I had phones fro OnePlus where I got tons of updates...half of which broke the phone. I value quality of updates over quantity. Nothing about the software update schedule means this phone won't work after 4 years. As for screen brightness, I live in the Sunshine State. My S20 FE with it's sub-900 nits brightness is enough to see outside in the sun.
You rally haven't said anything of substance. If you don't like this phone, then you don't like it. That's ok, as I'm not a fan of Apple products. But stop tying to convince others to hate it just because you do

Anonymous, 04 Jun 2024Why there are people saying that this phone isn't comi... moreWhat they mean is that they want it for little to no money in a carrier plan in the US. I'm in the States, and I'm getting this in the next week. I buy all my phones unlocked, so no big deal. They may also mean the phone is missing a couple of the bands for T-Mobile. It's only missing the 4G band 71, which is moot as I've only been connected to this band once (far out in the boondocks), as well as 5G bands n2 (a blessing in disguise as lacking it forces you on the faster n41) and n71 (again, only means anything if you live waaaay out).
A thing to note is that T-Mobile will eventually roll out the even faster n77, which this phone has

Anonymous, 04 Jun 2024I think Sony should have 2 phones more.
Besides 1, 5 and 1... moreNo, I think the opposite. Sony should have only 2 phones. The 1VI is perfect, it can be 1 series. But between 5 and 10, they should ditch both and just make a competitive upper midrange device with 7 plus gen 3 and 2 cameras opposed to 3.
Wish the 1vi was more competitively priced though.

Well, I wonder why people actually trust them.
They also brag about 90w charging and 120w...
Only they and no other companies, which makes you wonder.
Maybe their phones can charge at 90w for one minute and for them it's enough to brand charger like that.
And... yes it hurts battery, extreme heat hurts battery.
