Review Every Sony Xperia Phone | From 2010 to 2024

[@BeesonsCars]

The old Xperia skin on android is so good looking!

[@jorgex9407]

Thanks for the nostalgia trip, I'm an Xperia fan, but sadly no more Sony phones for me because they are not selling them in my region anymore. Keep it up bro!

[@techmo2020]

The struggle to pronounce the names of models correctly was real, I think I called Xperia 1 V at some point Xperia 5 1 V :)

[@shohabmsk]

Sony ericsson was way ahead of their time. Just today Sony isn't doing good. And I really like every Xperia display.

[@SonyEnthusiast]

Sony is still making profit

[@kevibec]

xperia z had such a nice commercial...unfortunately i wasn't able to afford it at the time. But i really loved my Xperia Z2...good old times

[@ale7ine]

I currently have an Xperia Mini. Cant use it as a daily device and still dreaming about another xperia mini ii

[@namelesssnitchy]

you are right about their build quality . amazingly strong. unfortunately not backed up by software updates XD

[@hamir5606]

XZ series so brilliant and love the design. Filming this video with 5 V it's amazing what capable this phone is. Great Job on the video Sony's phones legacy 💯💯

[@sammyt3514]

I still have the Sony Ericsson Arc S in a drawer somewhere; I remember how its design stood out among smartphones at the time, especially the white color version I have. I would often get asked what phone it was by random strangers in public (Sony Ericsson phones were not very common where I live in Canada already by then; they're almost completely extinct now). It's still one of the best looking phones and compares favorably to modern phones in terms of looks imo, and its camera was indeed among the best for both video and stills for its era (the main reason I got it). It was the last Sony I owned; moved to Samsung/iPhone after that. I would seriously consider the Sony 5 V if it were offered by Canadian carriers, but unfortunately that phone was not officially released in North America and getting it online is not a smart buy due to the ridiculously high prices (almost as expensive as the Samsung S24 Ultra when it's realistically competing with the S24!) and missing some of the 4G/5G bands used by Canadian carriers.

[@Avantime-Dimasique]

I still use SONY Xperia XZ1 Compact❤️ I want to change it to Xperia 5 mark V

[@andrejflaska8827]

I recently bough sony xperia Tablet Z, it is great nostalgia, i used it back on high school, but i realised, i cannot use anything. Google play mostly. Without it, i cannot update, thus use, youtube, chrome and other...i have to download APK, but it does not work always. How can you use it not?

[@nishiyamashima9797]

you will be disappointed

[@jayj9278]

the timescape UI was way ahed of its time :) and the version in 2012-13 with xperia theme was perfect i actually made 3-4 xperia themes on theme creator which actually looked good and the navigation button had my name... everyone asked me to get the app but is said it was sony only XD

[@RAZIELakaALIN]

I was a big Sony fan but had some problems with their products over the years. I have bought a Sony MHC-RX 99 Hifi System (had problems two times with it, still in possession but using the speakers only), Sony Ericsson W880i (which I lost) an a W890i (still using it from time to time as an mp3 Player). Than a Sony Xperia Z3 compact (the display separated from the frame twice), Xperia Z5 compact (died in my hand during use). Also bought a Sony alpha 7 ll Camera (had the known sensor issue but cured itself somehow, still in use) and a Sony Bravia 2015 4K 65" TV (Some big Software problems but still in use and poor quality remotes, the Bluetooth one got replaced once and it broke too). Than i bought a Sony Xperia XZ1 compact (still in possession but not using it because of the poor android support) and currently using a 5 ll (the back separated twice from the frame and the fingerprint button broke and had to be replaced, poor android support). After all these years and different products i will step away from sony. It's very sad because i like their products. They just don't care enough and aren't reliable. Switching entirely to Samsung, let's see if they can hold up...

[@namelesssnitchy]

im still rocking the 5ii, its an amazing phone although deffinitly not perfect. i do unfortunately since a month or so have a green line in the screen :( so might go for the next 5 series within a year or so

[@Al.S.]

Is that line because of the screen is oled or you drop it I see a lot of galaxy have that problem with the lines

[@Betancourtdm]

I had an Xperia Ion. It was thoroughly disappointing. My next one after that was the XZ2 Compact. It is one of my favorite all time phones. Wish i still had it.

[@GS-tb2fq]

You are so underrated man

[@dcc5049]

I've had a Z3 compact and 2 XZ1 compacts. I still use an XZ1 C when I go to Bali for maps on my motorbike. Sony Mobile pulled out of Australia so I've since had Samsung S22 Snapdragon Gen 1 for a couple of years and I recently swapped to a S24 Exynos

[@dkkdece]

Great effort, m proud owner of xperia z in the past

[@demetriodeangelis4964]

I'm using an xz2 since 2018, still works perfectly Before i had xperia sp, z3 plus, z5 (most beautiful phone ever had) Before these phones i had some samsung's and lg's but from i switched to sony i ve never returned to other brands I'm thinking to upgrade to a 1 mark VI or an ipothetically 5 VI for the future

[@WWFattitudera]

Great Video to watch Sony xperia Series

[@dyairtalal6688]

Hi man I'd like to ask you a question do i purchase the Sony Xperia 1 mark 4 from docom and are the good as the original

[@nishiyamashima9797]

Don't do that, they are bloated with apps you can't use and the bootloader is locked.

[@the_real_Wieniet]

Got the 1 Mark II still a very good phone. But I gonna upgrade to the 1 Mark VI

[@3mar00ss6]

can't wait until sony gets their software together only phone left worth buying

[@scify6278]

Dug out my old Xperia Z. Can not remember my pin code lol. Tried sony companion. It doesn't work. How do I '''HARD''' factory reset this thing? If you know. Could you please tell me; or if anyone sees this comment; again, please please let me know. TIA - GenX

[@techmo2020]

From ChatGPT, give it a try, it's usually a combination of volume keys. Press and hold the Volume Up button and the Power button simultaneously. Keep holding until the Sony logo appears, then release the Power button while continuing to hold the Volume Up button. This should bring you into the recovery mode. Navigate to Wipe Data/Factory Reset: Use the volume buttons to navigate and highlight Wipe data/factory reset. Press the Power button to select it.

[@alecsander4352]

they should go for 18.5:9 aspect ratio and ditch the naming scheme.

[@ALPHA-lw7mw]

Now I am using Xperia 5 mark 3 ❤

[@clemente111]

Sony sales went down because of....late adaptation for sure but i think marketing is their biggest downfall...we can witness the same on the bravia side

[@nishiyamashima9797]

no, their phones just got worse with the introduction of the Xperia 1 and 5 series. They are targeting "creators" but are completely missing the goal. Just slapped a stock android with no features on it, hard to use camera apps which can only show their potential in full manual mode and totally useless in auto mode. Let's not even talk about the front camera, if they want to target creators this one has to be good. I paid less for my S24 now, got twice the storage and 7 instead of 2 years of updates. Been a 5 III user..... The people from the Sony Ericsson time until 2017 seem to be long gone

[@clemente111]

​@@nishiyamashima9797what do you mean no features on it? they have "creators"features both software and hardware

[@nishiyamashima9797]

I am planning to buy sony xperia 5 mark 2 in india Still it worth in 2024 There are some issues noticed while using in india Jio network issue Gpay will not work Please give me some solutions

[@techmo2020]

If this phone has problems in your region I would advise you to get another one to be frank.

[@SrdjanPoznanovic]

Subscribed...And, there is Aqua series, M2 , first quad core phone on the market and first with IP68 certificate 😌. Sony recently lost the compas 😄

[@cromyjr1592]

I have Sony Xperia 10 IV and I regret not returning it right after I bought it. Sony lied in their specifications saying it has dual SIM, but the truth is it has physical dual SIM only in Asian version, while the International version has one physical and one eSIM. This information was deeply buried in the manual, not on spec page. I now realized how inconvenient is to convert your physical SIM to an eSIM, because it's a lot of hassle to switch it between phones, which of course also need to have the eSIM capability - not on midrange or entry levels. This pig deception tactic from Sony in the same line as Samsung offering Exynos in some regions and Snapdragon in others will make me not ever buying another Sony phone. Like you said, it's hard to earn trust but easy to lose it.

[@tc5006]

Subbed Mo!! Please make more videos please😊

[@techmo2020]

Thanks I appreciate it 😊 I'm going to make more similar content for sure.

[@Al.S.]

Ohh Sony Those at Sony are giving me headaches I had an K 800 ,I still have a pendant for him, new Then I had couple of K850 They had some systemic problems. After that I got my favorite one Sony xperia S . Still using tab Z3 compact and xz premium

[@DarkGT]

I hope you grow the channel. Do the HTC series too if you have the budget. I own the X10i and it's early production serial number. Great phone, but not the most future proof device. Single core CPU, not much internal space. My next Xperia is the M4 aqua, a terrible device. Bad battery life, overheating and the camera doesn't focus at all. The battery wear off by now. The software update lacks with Sony, no security update either. Best feature of the Sony phones is the open source friendliest. All models seems to be rootable.

[@techmo2020]

Hey, I really appreciate it thanks for the support. I'm gonna do a review on HTC Dream for the next video 😊 I miss HTC phones.

[@SonyEnthusiast]

WOW nice Sony phone collection! I also have the Z series (Z1, Z1 Compact, Z5 Premium), XZ series (XZ Premium), Xperia 1, and 23+ Sony phones here: kzbin.info/aero/PLRkC0Agin_EvopVUuvHIqijS6eS5FcXqH&si=wurPRWUNj5lmU8m9

[@nishiyamashima9797]

Been a Sony user since the 2011 Xperia Pro -> Acro HD -> Xperia Z1c -> X Compact -> XZ1 Compact -> 5 III. Compared with older ones the 5 III is the worst yet, the lowest effort by Sony. I only like the design, I hate almost everything else about this phone. -> Never keeps up the 120hz rate constantly, extremely bad front facing camera, bad battery quality (Life down to 83% after almost 2 years compared to 93% on the XZ1c after almost 4 years), Phone is constantly overheating and slows down so much it becomes unusable. It is impossible to have longer face calls, Hate these 3 different Camera Apps, I just want to record 4K 60FPS but not in 21:9, Auto mode is horrendous, the camera apps are just not intuitive to use. There are no features in the OS, only a lazy stock android with useless features like side sense or game optimizer, with 128GB I can't even install any games cus the storage is always full. If you use dual sim you can't put in a sd card (actually fixed in the mark IV). They removed album and Xperia Actions apps. I finally switched to Samsung with the S24, don't even get me started on how much better this phone is, tho I don't like the design of that phone itself.

[@kheankimhong]

😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@Happypowerup]

Sony phones had been bummers and disappointment, their display monitors had been using out of fashion panel, who used TFT display for flagship when competitors were using amoled, IPS or super clear LCD,smdh Now they come up with 21:9 ratio and still don't do punch hole selfie camera, the headphone jack will be out of date soon That's why their sales are rubbish and stagnant

[@clemente111]

Screen technology isn't everything im still using xz2 with a tft screen better color reproduction than my bros iphone 11 when watching same vid with even lower resolution

[@marasion0862]

There is no reason to switch to a display with a punch hole, notch etc. The bezels are required to include the front facing stereo speakers and prevent an interruption of the content which a punch hole, notch etc. would cause. A 3,5 mm jack will never be out of date. Bluetooth may be convenient since you're not dealing with a cable, but they are just getting close to matching wired speakers' and headphone's audio quality. Plus, there will always be at least a slight latency, even thought it gets reduced as technology progresses

[@JoonasAsikainen]

I just bought one because there is no punch hole. Why would anyone want a hole in their display? I also really appreciate that I can type with one hand because of the narrow display. The Xperia 5 V made all these tablet-sized phones with holes in their displays seem silly and dated.

[@Happypowerup]

I think Sony will eventually ditch the headphone jack and introduce notch or punch hole, they are just slow. TFT is defo obsolete that's why no manufactures are using it I wanted to buy the X10 but then I paused and rethink my decision now
