the bezel whiners are exhausting. its 1mm wider than the 5 IV. ONE MILLIMETRE. STOP WHINING. this is why every phone from every other manufacturer has a punchhole or notch. JUST STOP. dont buy it if you dont like it.

Two main cameras for about 1,000 EUR? Does Sony think that Xperia phones are among the most popular phones?

Side bezel is significantly wider than Xperia 1, a really disappointing product still sporting pre-2015 level of screen-body ratio

A phone to get in my opinion, many of my friends hate and think that these are bad phones.
But every year they keep improving and keeping good features.
Go Sony! I hope that it will be available in my area.

I think sony is gradually losing the grip of smartphone with over pricing. I hope it won't end up like Nokia. So disappointing 😔

Also, forgot about the night mode, 12MP camera sensor that works better in low light that doesn't sacrifice the natural look of the photo like google oversaturated unrealistic night mode. In short, Normal mode for realistic natural true-to-life photos and a night mode for the auto.
Use multiple small front camera setup or something to make the top and bottom bezel as small as possible (without cutting a camera notch or pinhole) to maximize the compact-ness.
Easily becomes the best all round phone.

The xperia 5IV is already an almost perfect phone (I use it). Swap the chip with a more efficient one and a bigger heatsink, make better software with less bugs, add a native gallery app instead of using google photos, remove the bloat (linked in, facebook, etc), uniform front firing stereo speaker design and it can easily be THE all round phone.
Weird why they need to upgrade the sensor size to 48MP for no reason, 12MP is already good for many things. 12MP 2x or 3x telephoto + 12MP wide camera is better than one 48MP wide camera. Heck, your photo will get compressed anyway if you post it in social media. 12MP is more than enough for printing out the photo too.
I really don't understand the hype with 100000MP++ camera lens. Tf you're trying to take pictures of someone from another galaxy or something? Bigger number feels good i guess? Trying to overcompensate?

I mean...
The lack of a zoom isn't the end of the world (especially since a 12MP with 2x zoom is similar to a 48MP crop anyway, and I highly doubt we could have expected more than that given the 1V) and other than that the specs are pretty good (USB3 in particular is a good thing to have for some). I also rather like the fact it has USB3 for those who need it and a headphone jack (a rare combo at any size, even if I don't need video out), and I can very much see the benefit of dual front firing speakers as well as an uninterrupted screen even if those aren't exactly requirements for me either)
I just don't get the rest of it. 128GB base at 1000 Euros is an absolute joke in 2023 (and no, the MicroSD card slot isn't a good fix, even if I didn't have a failure rate so ridiculously high I can't trust the data to still exist, it won't do much for those who play a bunch of games on their phone), the 21:9 screen doesn't make much sense for most content (YouTube is still mainly 16:9 or 18:9) so all it really does is move the center of gravity higher for marginal at best benefit and the glass back is going to be a huge problem even if you're using a case. I haven't even mentioned the poor thermals that Sony is notorious for at this point.
This just confirms to me the Zenfone 10 was the right decision: it's easier to hold, way cheaper and has one less easily breakable surface.

Preinstalled OS is not upgrade.
It's just two OS upgrade and three year patches.
"The Sony Xperia 1 V and 10 V both only get three years of updates. That is, they receive various security patches during that period to ensure digital security. The smartphones will only receive two major Android updates, which means that Android 14 and 15 will still appear on the smartphones
