Anonymous, 11 Mar 2025Does the headphone jack even matter without Hi-DAC?The sound is good from the jack. I compared it to my fiio m11 pro, so obviously it's necessarily a bit less good, but the question really arises of switching from one to the other. The only flaw is the low output power, and I think that with headphones that are quite difficult to "drive", the Sony is no match. But with a small portable headset it's ok and the listening quality too.

    TheSnowWinterR7, 06 Mar 2025This is ONE of the VERY last complete-feature package flags... moreHardware-wise, it's really unbeatable. I bought a Nubia with the hole-less display, and it's just not perfect (yet) - you can always see a greenish smudge where the camera sits. That, coupled with the annoyance of a missing SD slot made me return it, ended up getting the 1 VI.

    The only thing that really needs improving is software, the operating system. Stock Android offers a dire, customization-lacking, miserable experience these days. Software could compensate for the few things 1 VI is doing wrong, like the missing notification LED, but for some baffling reason Sony didn't bother.

    Laziness or ineptitude, I can't tell. But it's a damn shame, needlessly holding the phone's potential back. It just doesn't feel like a $1400 device thanks to it.

        Anonymous, 11 Mar 2025Does the headphone jack even matter without Hi-DAC?When the option to have a phone in 2025 with a proper 3.5mm headphone jack is dwindling to only a handful of devices like the Xperia 1 VI, Zenfone 12 Ultra, Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 5G, and Samsung Galaxy A06, with or without Hi-DAC, if they insisted on wanting a headphone jack regardless of the state of the device, they had no choice but to sacrifice more and sacrifice something at the end. It's not the 2016-2019 smartphone era anymore, where there were more possibilities of options back then than there are now, and we don't have to sacrifice anything to get what we wanted or at least, less sacrifice than in 2025. I would understand your comment back then, but now? You can see yourself how many devices these days that have it old-school techs.

Do you ever heard of "market segmentation" or "target markets" in the first place? You may care with those features like fast charging, battery tech or anything you prefer, but some others prefer having MicroSDXC feature and 3.5mm jack over fast charging. It's like you are forcing a Porsche purist enthusiast to buy Xiaomi SU7 Ultra because it's faster than the Porsche 911 GT3, when Porsche purist are known wanting and defended the option of manual transmission and pure 4.0 Flat 6 engine over an battery-powered device.

                      The telephoto seems interesting but the sensor size Is such a missed opportunity. Shoulda been atleast 1/1.56". Moreover, why isn't sony using is own flagship sensor on the primary lens. Lyt 900 is 1 inch sensor and naturally better than the lyt 808 on this phone
