[@rmh032]

I started with the Xperia S about 12 years ago because I loved the design. Had Sony phones for a while after that but then suddenly had two in a row with terrible durability/build quality. This 1 VI is my first Sony since then and it wasn't cheap. I was happy with Google Pixel until they suddenly became expensive.

[@bulolo_wilber]

Honestly, I love that Sony makes a phone with no intrusion to the display, you forget the bezels and you can enjoy content in the dark with no notch or punch hole getting in the way. I'm I saying that each phone manufacturer should borrow a leaf from Sony and do the same, no, because to each there own. I'm just glad Sony solves this 1% dilemma conundrum for the users who hate those egregious notches and punch hole cut outs getting in the way of their content.

[@amber1creations]

Don't forget the audio quality of sony phones. It has been always high resolution, best for years. For many years, since walkman they were ahead, until today. They're ahead in all innovations, i experienced it through the years. Everytime i see an innovation. Sony had it at least 3 to 7 years before. When you are in it, you just feel love, you became loyal Their design, android menu, smooth, timeless and sharp. Talking about Flagships. There are classes for different consumers, but flagships are beautiful pieces. You as a user, can see what others are missing.. also with the ups and downs, you stay loyal, because you know the nation and the minds behind the phones and products. Things you just respect. Its the quality

[@SpacedAug]

How unlike Sony to be so for the consumer with this hardware. This is a delightful surprise.

[@soulhandler2227]

That tends to happen when a company is not on top of a specific segment. And i hope they never become to top ones. I hope they keep making just enough money with these phones to justify releasing a new model every year with all the features we love.

Sony xperia died because of high price.

[@JasonMoon111]

Sony Xperia died, because of no compromises of quality. Sony Qualia did that before that. People were not interested of buying $200 headphones or $300 music players or $1000 TV's. Now they are considered mid-price. It is hard to be ahead of your time. If iPhone 16 would have same specs it would cost way over $5000. iPhone cost about $150 to manufacture. Xperia 1VI costs three or four times of that.

Love this comment. Have to appreciate Sony's robust but elegant design. Everything about their phones is aimed at the purist/enthusiast. Their cameras prioritize raw photography and compatibility with a full size sensor. They will sacrifice trendy design to make sure they have good stereo speakers. I may just have to get one

[@stuartm5166]

I've a pixel 7, Which I love (both software and hardware) but I've always appreciated the Xperia range. Hopefully they will still be around and refined even further over the next couple of years. Could easily be tempted by whatever Xperia is out around the time the Pixel 10 is released. We shall see.

[@m4n4mk1]

I have bought a SONY Xperia ever since the first one. Always a flagship only for the headphone jack and sd card feature. Great review.

[@ionutcalacian00]

wanna see a bug that Sony hasn't fixed since the first xperia? set double tap to wake on, prevent accidental operations on. lock the dislay and the phone. then cover the proximity sensor with something and double tap the screen, press ok if the "prevent accidental operations..." pops on screen and then drag down with the finger until the quick settings become accessible and touchable. yes, this happens in the pocket. I often get my 1 iv out of the pocket with the screen on, heated up, drained battery, in airplane mode or with bluetooth off, in emergency calls menu etc. it's horrible. but it doesn't end here. activate the AOD as always on and set off the double tap to wake. you will see that double tap to wake still works if the AOD in always on.

[@zamuruev]

It’s terrible 😢

[@archie7288]

Wanna see how horrible sony was, after 10 years+ basic features like internet speed meter on top notification isn't available 😂

[@RennieAsh]

It could technically happen with my Oppo but the slide up to exit accidental touch mode is pretty safe. A single click button is easy to accidentally touch lol

[@maruplay7560]

Double tap to wake is useless for me. You can't carry your phone in the pocket without the screen turning on at some point. I turned this feature off completely and AOD as well. If I have notifications they will come on my watch. I use s23 btw so this Sony bug will not bother me if I had one.

[@Keyboarder11376]

My Xperia 1 III tend to become stuck with a black unresponsive screen until you do a force reset (holding volume and power button), sometimes even during the night when you expect it to wake you up with an alarm at the morning, and it just decides to die instead. It's pretty rare, and I can't even understand what makes it do that. It feels like using the camera too much increases the chances of it to happen.

[@KetansaCreatesArt]

Ai, Updates, cool features, are all made to find new ways to keep your personal data and other countrys data under control. Sony seems to have broken out of that chain. Which is the best thing.

[@pillepolle3122]

[@samadkariyaniya196]

Thank you Sony for keeping the SD card, headphones jack, and large battery. I wish updates would be longer though. I just ordered one so I'll give sony a try. No more samsung for me, at least for now.

[@Matt-ne6de]

they have a tendency to deliver updates for old devices longer than the minimum 3 to 4 years that they promise for.

[@themotofixery]

@Matt-ne6de Well so far i love mine! Its everything i hoped for

[@bulolo_wilber]

6:50 And that's the way to go. A real flagship phone should capture the most realistic, most detailed photo from a smartphone possible, down to the intrinsic colors of the subjects, not dialing the saturation to 11. Same for video, I cherish phones that record video with a constant exposure, just like in the real world. Constant white balance, stabilization, name it. That is a true flagship in my book.

[@VioletClaw816]

The design is always clean, literally five different focal lengths in 3 cameras instead of most of the Chinese and Samsung phone drill cameras like crazy bee nests. But again, cameras are not for one click heavy post processing users. If you really dig into it to use it properly, the results are amazing. Also, I don't think the price is off because it offers the headphone jack and up 1tb sdcard storage, how much do we save that if we go up to buy a 512gb+ among the main stream flagships.

[@funkam0nkey]

The 1 VI is my first Sony phone in a very long time. I'm very impressed. I bought it as a camera phone to use alongside my Z Fold 6 but its quickly becoming my favourite. The sensors are excellent and that macro mode is superb.

[@aeonikus1]

I love the design and features like zoom, HP jack and SD card. Also, great review!

[@AndrewYouTubehandle]

I love my Sony. Insane battery life, 3.5mm headphone socket, SD card slot and more. However, you're incorrect about battery optimisation and Apple only being iOS 18 (timestamp 4m50). Apple introduced battery charging limits with iOS 13 (2019) and subsequent tweaks, unless you don't mean battery optimisation.I used it all the time when I switched from android to the iPhone 15 pro max as I could never kill the battery in one day. I agree with you about updates. The EU should require a minimum of 5 years. And Sony should be out there ahead of this.

[@robertheron7017]

I used the Xperia 1 V in Australia and was really nice to use. The Xperia 1 VI will also work in Australia. The only issue is you will need to order from overseas market. It would be much better to buy if it was sold through local carriers. I moved to the S24 ultra and will move to the S25 ultra due to local availablity.

[@PlaceOfTheLamb]

Does anyone know if this will work on the Telstra network (with VoLTE)? I have used Xperia phones for years now, and don't like the others. My old Xperia 5 won't work when 3G shuts down, so hoping this VI does!!

[@b2bgood870]

SD cards break ... and anyone can steal them out of the phone

[@dan_rad]

@@b2bgood870 Anyone can steal a phone too 😅 You can encrypt the card if you are worried about that. All data storage methods can fail. It’s infinitely better to have the option to have cheap expandable storage than not. What would you prefer? Only the option to have expensive cloud storage? An SD equipped phone can also have this. Also having an SD equipped phone means manufacturers can’t charge so much more for a little more internal storage.

[@emilmofardin2.0]

I bought this model, and I can confirm everything said in the review is spot on. There is simply no other phone like it, and I wouldn't buy anything else, even if it was twice the price. The camera is good, but really shines with the manual/pro mode as you can adjust ISO, shutter speed etc. The battery really does last me 2-3 days, I don't know how they've managed to make it so efficient especially with the brighter screen compared to last gen. The headphone jack and SD card reader are a must-have, and I wouldn't buy a phone without them. One thing to note about the software support is that the bootloader can be unlocked, so new software (such as LineageOS) can be upgraded even after sony stops releasing updates. For example, my old xperia 1 III is running LineageOS and is fully up to date with android 14, and will even receive an upgrade to android 15 in the future, even though sony stopped support at android 13.

@@ajithraju8384 lets sum things up: Call Quaility: Hands down, the best out there. Clear, loud and punchy. Audio Quality: Just great, excellent balance and many configurations to match your preference Screen quality: In my experience, it beats every flagship in terms of brightness. Also note that it keeps brightness high all the time. Other phones usually dial down max brightness after a while to sustain performance. Photography: not the best, but still quite good. It suffers a bit in low light, but a software update may fix this. Performance: fluid and snappy, no lags, no heating issues whatsoever. Battery: Unreal run times. I have managed 3 days use, 9.5hrs SOT, with dark mode on. Haptics: strong for notifications, a bit mushy when typing (you need to keep it just a hair before max haptic feedback to get the best it offers). Price: overpriced, no doubt abt that. Updates: 3 years is a bummer.

Finally a really balanced and in depth review , I tried the vi but hated it initially , yes it was that disappointing to me , especially as Sony removed the music haptics which in my opinion enhanced content watching so much WHY SONY WHY ?? they have done things like that before of course .. notification light anyone ??? I honestly liked the former form factor and 4k screen of the 1v but I have to say the vi has now got an insane battery life which is important. So , after sending back my vi I tried another manufacturers phone and whilst it was ok I have to say I missed Sony . I missed the shutter button ( although the iPhone will copy that feature this year ... I missed the understated design of the Sony ... I missed the natural looking photos although I admit they did take some getting used to after using a saturated Samsung . Natural is best ! Therefore I am sending back my current android and I am rebuying the Sony 1vi . Despite the rather inept withdrawing of imo niche but great features Sony remains a brilliant manufacturer of smart phones . Hope this helps people on the fence of whether to buy or not . Believe me as someone who has tried most mainstream devices , you won't go too far wrong with this phone .BUT SONY , REINTRODUCE THE HAPTICS FOR MUSIC/CONTENT ...

[@alaneddy4575]

I agree with the pros and cons. I have had the Mark V and now the Mark VI. I loved the design intentions of the Mark V with the true widescreen ratio and 4K display. I also think the photography on the main camera of the Mark V is better, probably due to software. The new Mark VI has an unfinished camera app and is missing the three dedicated pro apps from the V...Photo Pro Video Pro and Cinematography Pro which gave the same menu systems as Sony's Alpha, Video and Cinematography camera lines. You could learn how to use an unobtainable camera that costs as much as a house by learning to use Cinematography Pro. I do hope those apps make it to the Mark VI with the promised August Firmware update. That will be the finished version of the Mark VI. The Mark VI will get better and better. I adore the new Macro camera on the Zoom lens...a true Macro. A little tricky to use, but when it wins it wins big.

I like that the Xperia is an amalgamation of all their tech rather than another "better iPhone".

They do also have AI-based image processing depending on the mode you're using for the camera. I heard they were implementing it for videos as well about now, but I haven't done further research. Either way, camera quality is one of the biggest concerns for me with smartphones, so this one is a no-brainer. I ordered one to a local phone store and can't wait to pick it up!

For those who may be unlocking their phone in their pocket by accidentally touching the power/fingerprint button...their is a setting that can prevent this from happening. Go to Settings > Security and turn on "Press to unlock with fingerprint" - issue solved!

The best thing about this phone is that it doesn't have any irritating notch or a hole.

I love how it dosnt have a notch I despise that apple does. I love the camera you described. If they offered this with iOS I would buy it forsure
