Lifelong Pixel 9 Pro XL User Switches to Sony Xperia 1 VI!

[@coolpoete]

I went from Nexus 6 to LG, Pixel 4a, 4a5g, 6, then to S23 and now back to 9Proxl. I really like the Google software experience. S23 was nice but didn't care about the fact that I was not using any Samsung software or features. I used to say if we could get a Pixel software in a Samsung body it would be perfect. Pixel 9 series answers that for me.

[@gmemo4449]

I know what you mean, I've used Honor View 10, S20FE, Pixel 4a, 5a5G, Pixel 6, S21Plus, Pixel 7 Pro and now the 8 Pro. I really do like the Pixel phones

[@peterharwood5705]

I've had the Sony Xperia 1 V1 for 4 months now and I'm completely delighted with everything apart from one thing and that's the long end of the telephoto lens is slightly soft in some situations,and I forgot the missing video pro app which in my opinion Sony wants a right rollicking for.

I came from apple to Pixel this year had my pixel for over a month now. I switched to a galaxy 22 plus that was given to me to try and lasted one day. I had to switch back to pixel I love the call screening I love how all the Google apps are right there to use as I use them a lot. I like the OS experience of the Pixel so much better.

Watching on my Xperia VI in USA! I wanted to know your thoughts on software updates. Do you always update? I'm just wondering because other phones in the past sometimes had glitches or quirks after updating.

[@DrCalvinTeach]

I don't believe those "Major Tech Reviewer switches from popular phone to new popular phone that just released last week!!!" videos. Those are largely for clicks and views. Also, also I think we're increasingly getting to the place where folks are (as Flossy says) "Two Phones Nelson" or "Three Phones McGillicutty". I don't think a lot of those reviewers switch their main, personal number from phone to phone. Maybe a work number or maybe switch a personal number for the week for purposes of shooting the video. Also, like you mentioned too many of them 2 weeks later drop the "I switched BACK to my original phone!!!" All that is largely just noise. Those flight tickets to the latest Snapdragon Summit aren't going to pay for themselves!

[@TechOdyssey]

I think you're spot on.

@@TechOdysseymy main phone is the iPhone 15 pro max but I also carry the s24 ultra everyday. However, I’ve thinking of getting the pixel 9 pro xl or even the older oneplus 12 with now the new oxygenOS 15. What are your thoughts?

Hello my friend and happy the you doing well that is a nice case you got for the pixel pro

[@TechOdyssey]

Thank you!!😊

[@axi6ne8us]

Yea, I was thinking of switching to the XL, but I dislike the huge camera bump on the XL. Been using the MK1 VI for a few months here in the US on VZ pre-paid. Everything worked out-the-box from day one. I like the design, size and weight.

[@gekraakt]

I prefer the Sony because of the headphonejack and the lack of a camera eye. 🤘🍺

[@franzdrack9529]

I had both. The Xperia 1 VI is very nice and light-weight but I preferred the Pixel 9 Pro XL for how it felt in my hands and the haptics. The cameras were very close except for the selfie one. What I like about the Pixel 9 Pro XL is that I can shoot high quality videos with the selfie camera. Also no wobble on the XL when you put the it on the desk to type.

[@PhotoPat1]

Thanks for honest review😊, just a question i notice very good wide screen protector on your 1VI what brand is it? I actually ordered panzerglass screen protector for my X1V, hope it will be wider than my actual spigen one

[@zsoltszlgy6189]

Hey Dude! Great video again, love your content! Maybe could you help me with some practical things of the 1 VI? Previously there was a limit with 5 fingerprints. Is it now the same or you can record more? Can you use the screen as a flashlight while taking a selfie? Thanks again for all of the information you provide is from these phones, not just the Sony, but the others too.. I liked the 1 VI since it came out, but I wasn't sure.. So for me it really helps deciding, and for now I'm quite sure it will be my next one. All the bests! 🤜🤛

I think Sony's biggest problem with their phones in the US🇺🇸 have been their marketing has been horrible from the name to the number scheme just turns people off and not partnering with carriers to offer deals while getting them to talk about and get the word out their. I've always thought every time I seen a Sony phone was good brand good specs high price but not wanting to take the risk of why haven't they got big in the US? Is their something else I don't know about that others do and have stayed away from Sony phones, when the Playstation and Sony name is super popular and you do think of quality and cutting edge when it comes to technology. I think their bravia tvs have taken a huge dive when it comes to market share in the US as well.

I use the sony xperia 1 iv but I miss the playstation interface sony had on there older smartphones like the xperia xz premium. I like that the xperia 1 iv has physical sim cards and no e-sim since I switch between multiple android phones and they all have physical sim cards and none of them have e-sim cards. I had the xperia 1 iii before I had the xperia 1 iv but I miss the software from the xperia xz premium. I really like and enjoy using sony software and apps like the walkman, album and gallery apps. I still have my sony portable walkman cassette player, sony walkman portable disc man cd player, sony walkman portable mini disc player. I'm just miss the sony hi res audio that runs android. Unfortunately, the north american models for the sony hi res audio players that runs android have there volume limit caps. However, the japanese model of the sony hi res audio players that run android have an uncapped volume since the volume has no limit cap compared to the north american models. In certain regions depending on the countries they limit the volume of certain devices. The countries with the unlimited volume have a high gain mode for high impedance headphones and hard to drive headphones.
