It must ... moreIn my opinion (and I record many samples and films), VideoPro app have the best UI on the market (PhotoPro and CinemaPro too). It is practically impossible to make a better UI in a video recording application. Additionally, it has some UI from professional cameras like Venice 2 and Burano. Everything is at hand, we have menu tabs 1 and 2, nothing covers the 16:9 preview and we have it full screen. I played with the Galaxy S24U and its application and I'm sorry but it has nothing to do with professionalism. Rest of UI is almost clean Android. I miss "Album" photo - the best on the market :(
And now, write for us... what is soo unfriendly in Xperia UI. I own Xperia XZ3 (5 years) and Im happy. My old Xperia owns Album app, clean Andorid, and split screen. You can watch YT and type with someone on the same widnow. I think it is userfriendly.

    Alpha, 09 Mar 2024No its ok, we like the Sony UI..To be fair it's uncluttered and looks rather clean. However, when trying to actually use the phone and realize that even basic functions like double click on the button for flashlight is not implemented, one comes to realize how really handicapped it is.

          Sony phones have very poor and user unfriendly UI. It must have had a UI like Samsung, Huawei, Lenovo, Vivo etc.

              Anonymous, 27 Feb 2024Is it too slippery without a case?No , very comfortable on hand. Also You can buy Transparent case for better protection and hold

                When using Stamina mode on my 5V, the bluetooth will not work properly. My hearing aid device and app will not connect in a correct way.
                And it doesn't help turning Stamina off and/or toggle flightmode off/on - I have to reboot the phone.
                I think this is a Android 14 "handshake" issue, not necessarily Sony issue, as other user reports the same (Samsung, Nothing, Google).

                  Using Stamina makes bluetooth unstable on by device and I have to reboot the phone to make blutetooth working properly again (hearing aid etc). It is not sufficient to just turn off/on flightmode or bluetooth itself.

                      Azu10157, 27 Feb 2024There is nothing confusing about this naming scheme. I like it.This is most likely the last 1/5/10 series either this or the vi series a lot of rumours say their changing the naming (again) plus they never went above 5 generations for a series in the past.

                        I have seen numerous reports of rainbow banding. Can anyone confirm or deny?
