Sony Xperia 1 VI vs. Xperia 1 V: Which one to get?

I'm upgrading from Xperia 1 III to Xperia VI and I love it. My only complaint is the removal of the notification LED. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the telephoto Macro camera. Samsung is not an option, because they ditched the SD card slot. No SD card slot = no buy. Don't care about the loss of the 4k screen. I'd rather have more battery life.

[@Djoki1]

Unless you already experienced 4k content on a 4k screen and if you regularly watch 4k content, you really dont need a 4k screen. Personally, im always willing to trade screen resolution for prolonged battery life, as thats whats most important *to me.* Others might prefer a higher resolution screen and thats fine. Although i think people make too big of a fuss about it in this case.

[@ryugalaw]

I see your point. But having a 4K means having a sharper screen at all times, even when downscaled. I really like that in my Xperia. So I find it hard to move to a less resolution screen

[@ryugalaw]

@TimmyT-ri5lo It's not useless. The PPI is still much higher. And with this, there's a clear difference in sharpness.

[@vipin0073]

[@BodDiv]

I'd go for the OP12 if you're currently looking. You can lower the fps for movie apps to 60 and get 25 hours of screentime. You can get more by lowering resolution among other things, and it charges from 0 to 100 in 32 mins. I'm considering the Xperia V as a secondary handset for Black Friday. I miss hi res audio from the headphone jack.

[@laurenz6760]

@@BodDiv xperia 1 v automatically lowers fps for video. But outside of video content they are so behind with their constant 120hz, when they even said themselves they are prioritizing battery and sustainability (battery is still good though, I always charge to 80%). Also coming from OP I miss the fingerprint sensor actually working and screen off gestures also the 1 v could be wider

I got the Xperia 1 III, and was thinking about upgrading to the new model but after seeing that the 21:9 screen is gone, and no more 4K, I'd rather get the Xperia 1 V. They should have kept the 21:9 screen atleast or the 4K display, taking away both ruins the uniqueness.

[@BlueGreyWolf]

Yup, I just don't know why so many users make excuses for a company to literally downgrade on the new models, especially when it's a top-of-the-line model that the Xperia 1 should have. I have been using my Xperia 1 III as a 4K content machine when I'm on the go, this includes KZbin videos that support 1440P and 4K! I might need to get the Xperia 1 V until Sony brings back the features that they got rid of for their Xperia 1 phones. (Hopefully they bring them back tho!)

I'm a Sony fanboy, and had the Xperia I ii, and quite simply it was the best mobile device i ever used. I was going to buy the new vi, but I just can't get over the fact that Sony isn't going to provide more than 3 years of android updates. Pixel is now 7 years and so are samsung flagship phones. I really wish Sony wasn't so stubborn on that, and its pricing.

[@NoName-bb2pu]

Been using Sony for almost 14 years, today just bought the Mark V after using the Xperia 5 and Mark III combined the past 4.5 years, unless I feel very differently, this may be my last Sony phone ever. I appreciated Sony for having the guts to think different yet price their phones similar to Samsungs and Apple. With 1 iii they gave earphones, charger, cable and a nice box. For almost 1450$ the Xperia 1 VI gets a poverty spec box reminiscent of what we get in supermarket egg cartons, no notification lights, no dynamic vibration system, no 4K (ok its overrated) and zero accessories. I grudgingly bought the 1 V 512 gb for 1100$ due to poor battery life after 3 years of use in 1 iii, no notification lights, an egg carton box which I threw out immediately and zero accessories. I feel like a donkey for endorsing Sony's 4K marketing and a very weird 21:9 ratio which many were making fun of, only to have Sony make a U-Turn and then say they were wrong in the past and 1080p is just as good and 19.5:9 ratio is better, they just pissed me off with that. Been a pleasure being your customer, Sony, alas we must part ways at this point, your 1 VI is just insanely priced. The 1 V may serve me a couple of years, after that its Apple for me, way more consistent.

[@samfisher3336]

IMO the Xperia 1 VI is the pinnacle of the smartphone development for the last couple of years, Sony fixed everything needs fixing and packed the latest and greatest there is in every aspect! I wish the Xperia 5 VI would get the same updates plus the wireless charging!

[@ElPresidentedEscolar]

[@astronomylover996]

A QHD+ (1440P) Display would made the VI more complete

[@painttinjr6672]

Great video! Lots of useful information for IMO feels like a tougher choice than Sony probably think it is with the VI looking like specs changes are conforming to iPhone. The screen info and formfactor info made it a no-brainer to buy the Xperia 1 V, recently as I rarely end up with less than 45% battery power at the end of 18hour day - with any Xperia I’ve owned with stamina mode and smart connect doing well. Safer sensible battery sizes and restrained charging at 30watts is a positive IMO when I look for a phone - versus dangerous levels at 150watts with added heat that ages batteries quicker. Camera review for snapshot comparisons an opinion is still fine, but for more technical users would love to see breakout videos comparing footage shot for maximum quality for post-editing across all phones, rather than the TV shop mode eyeball comparisons that are great for immediate sharing, but aren’t consistent with the raw capture look of footage shot on full cameras with substantially more detail to lever in post-edit on a workstation.

[@ernestwong3872]

The MK6's unified camera app is indeed a huge downgrade. There is a good reason to seperate the camera app into 3 different apps in the old design which is never mentioned in any GSMArena review. Indeed in motion video world there are two different classes of video format and they have two different workflows addressing different requirements - video base and film based. Even Sony also offer two different lineup of hardware in her own professional solution division. Video base is more towards broadcasting and film based is more towards movie industry. E.g. video base = XDCAM camcoders Film based = CineAlta camcoders The old Video Pro app is indeed mimicking XDCAM operations and Cinema Pro app is mimicking CineAlta camcoders.

I really like how snappy it feels compared to the iv. Oh how i hated the iv in summer, phone overheated at regular use even. I am seriously impressed by the 1 vi performance in daytime shooting. But i suspect that the V would be equally good. It feels weird to praise the VI after watching this, for almost unchanged camera performance since the previous generation. At least the camera app now is indeed easier and quick. One last note, i know i will regret not having a 16gb ram option. I ve already managed to freeze some apps by use load. Damn.

yes, it is still capable and receives feature drops despite being on android 12... i am using it as a back-up work phone now after buying 1 v last year... i would say i do not need that brighter display on 1vi or its battery life, as i am more than happy with 1v's brightness and battery life... might upgrade to 1 ix, and hoping that they bring back 21:9, or at least make another series if they intend to continue with 19.5:9 for xperia 1 series...

I'll do you one better. Where and how to get?

I think telephotos on these phones suck

Why can't Sony release a phone without disappointing cameras? I'd choose Sony every time if the cameras were competitive.

the xperia 1 VI is absolutely amazing, especially the battery life!
