I don't think I can ever get used to that distorted screen. While the standard today has moved from 16:9 > 18:9 (=2:1), Sony makes a cinema style screen with aspect ratio of 21:9 (=7:3).
This phone has a 6.1" advertised screen size while the usable area is only 5.1". You load up a UHD video from odysee and you realize that half of the screen is useless. The same goes with any kind of media content. The thing is that this is just a marketing technique to be able to put in the specs a bigger screen than what it actually is.
Physically, the device feels more like a remote control rather than an actual phone.

Jimbob, 26 Sep 2023People will look at it and say hmm only 2 cameras and think... moreIm happy that atleast someone doesnt put useless 2mpx cameras on their phones. I understand why they put those 2mpx cameras on phones, but for us tech people its really silly.

Anonymous, 26 Sep 2023Should be 400€ max!
They should give 2 pcs for that price... moreExmorT (1V) has better video and HDR perfomance than iPhone 14Pro (I know that because I tested both). Do you want to make a bet with me? Go to Samsung/iPhone/xiaomi forum mister Samsung manager. I can put link to video and any video from samsung/iphone cant beat that (4K120fps low light).

notafanboy, 25 Sep 2023You don't seem to understand the difference between HD... moreYeah sure...
LucasN82 writing (23 sept): "HDR+/DV only adds dynamic metadata for brightnes"
Do not learn Sony how HDR should look, because:
1. In most reviews Sony OLEDs with normal HDR10 beat all Samsungs (with HDR10+) and even sometimes Pansonic.
2. Sony was the pioneer in HDR. First mobile HDR sensor was from Sony. Sony was co-creator of HDR technology
3. Last top movies like Avatar and Top Gun was recorded with Sony Venice camera.
Do even know that all LG OLED panels (TV) has RGBW structure and that structure is from Xperia P (it has RGBW LCD panel), that Xperia that most people laugh many years ago? You know why those panels has this structure? For HDR.

It's an utter disappointment. Looking for microSD and headphone jack, I'd suggest to get a A52s even if used. You'll really get 90% of this at 1/10th of this price. Trust me, it's unworthy paying over €900 for something with no telephoto camera and static refresh rates. If you pay so much for a phone but get barely little more out it's absolutely unworthy

Sony should start working on their phone naming, nobody knows which phone is the latest, and it seems like they all have the number 5 in them 💀

Recordes are used for broadcast video. Typically most of normal PRO cameras for photos can record video HDR and even above. Alpha 7sm3 and alpha 1 can output RAW video in 16-bit (DolbyVision is 12-bit).
No insults please, because you'll be gone from here faster than you think. I also recommend reading comprehension lessons. I didnt test 5V yet but 1V has one of the best calibrated screens I ever see (in creator mode). Max brightness is to big to watch movies inside the house/room.
