For those who are wondering why the display resolution is now FHD instead of 2K, I want to tell you what I heard from the developer. Sony has used 4K 21:9 displays until now. However, 4K content optimized for smartphones did not become as popular as Sony had assumed. Therefore, they choose to reduce the resolution, but there is a reason why Sony did not choose 2K. Much of the content you play on your phone is in FHD, and not much of it is optimized for 2K. Xperia is a smartphone from the creator's point of view. With few creators making 2K content, they felt that there was little merit in adopting a 2K display just to dare to compete with other companies. Quitting 4K has made the display significantly brighter than the 1 Ⅴ. Also, the battery life is superior to the iPhone 15pro max and Galaxy S24. I know this is disappointing for those who liked the 4K display, but I want you to know that it is not just a regression due to cost cutting, but also an evolution. Sorry if my translation is not correct and I didn't convey it well.
Can't agree with that. Watching a lot of youtube and movies from d+, amazon etc. It is a difference in that case. 😅 I prefer a crisp image over 3hours of longer usage ... 1080 p is a standard from 2014? 16?
All of the people arguing about 4k and 1080p. Well i got my 1 VI now .. The new Xperia 1 VI has the new Sony Bravia AI screen. It's not just 1080p though, it switches to different contents which is actually stunning!!! If you guys still insist that it is the same as 1080p screen. Nope. there's a big difference between sony Bravia AI 1080P screen vs Samsung or LG 1080o screen.
I own it as Sony Xperia 1 V wiith 1TB of storage + Samsung S24 Ultra 1TB. Top notch of products. I also own Sony A95K 55", PS5. I just enjoy Sony products.
The fact that you already have the phone is a miracle by Sony standards for real. I really believe some of the criticisms are unfair even though I was also let down that they didn’t go with higher megapixel complimentary sensors given the competition but the tele-macro lens looks amazing. I’m waiting for the fall/winter for the newly rumored Sony Xperia Pro-C but I’m looking to see some great things come out of this phone.
Sony were not joking around when they said they are going to bring the Bravia TV technologies. Look at the flower in the wallpaper, it looks like 3d like in Bravia TVs.
@@johanmarnfeldt5262 thought you were talking about the background or someone who mentioned the flower background i was telling someone the background is a mushroom
yea im not really a big tuber lol i upload when i can just to get my opinion out when i get a chance to take some more photos and such ill try to upload more
pre ordered same color here in germany. but they will ship on June 3rd, with the beast xm5. super excited, and from your video I can actually see how good it looks for the first time. thanks for sharing mate!
Sony Ericsson W850i Walkman was my first phone and I loved every bit of it, excellent camera great sound and music. Phones were more of emotions than just a gadget those days. Good to see Sony is coming back after left behind several years in competition.
All of my smartphones were iOS-Devices (ofcourse all of them had a Jailbreak running) but iam done with iOS/Apple. For the past 3 years i was looking around for android phones and the Xperia immediately caught my eye. And they have finally manages to keep the Xperia characteristics but make it a phone you can now recommend to everyone and not only to pros. So, for the first time in my life i preordered a device. I should get my hands on it in a week i guess.
Ignore those spec yapper that say it's a bad screen because it's resolution, resolution doesn't make a good screen, just like how megapixel doesn't make a good camera.
I'll take a brighter screen and better battery life over a very seldomly used 4k screen any day of the week thanks. What should have also happened is a lower price though.
I didn’t get the offer in time, actually think it was an error on Amazons part but you’re locked into that price, which is lucky. Phone should be around this price anyways based on the res downgrade.
@@SeanMarkey-o3z we live in a free country. nobody force to buy. I completely agree, that price is high, but with free headphones offer imho price is reasonable.
I also watched that icelandic guy video. Battery is more important to me as long as it's at least 1080p. The photos definitely look more detailed than my Xiaomi phone.
lol thanks and actually i was in my Serta Smart layers chair hahaha much more comfy then those over priced cheap material gaming chairs. serta smart layers executive lasts for years and still stays comfy and thanks for the comment im not the most detailed person but ill try to keep updates coming check out my twitter for more updates on camera and whatnot lilbeargaming87 is my twitter named after my dog that passed away last year
@@MobilePhotoObsession First thank you for the detailed response, This well go into my heart, Be sure. Alright, I didnt know that thay are a batter chair than these indeed "Over priced" ones. I abslutly 100% agree, Like someone said befor : If thay ever want to get double the price for something, Just stick the word "Gaming" to it, Even if it was a random 1$ drink. And sadly am not that much into twitter, But keep the honst work big bro, Much respect ✌️🗿
I'm Sony person, but what's the difference between Sony IV ,V VI, ,all the same looks, and little upgrade, plus google is installed, meaning ull be spied, watched etc, so no more phone that have google, - 🤷
I have the xperia 1v and a samsung tablet that has 720p screen. Doesnt bother me at all. I prefer lower resolution actually - more battery life. 1 v actually takes a whole day to drain as well. The only feature i want from the 1 vi is the macro and 48mm which was also on the 5v. Hopefully an update that lets me shoot 48mm
Impressive no doubt! ... Hopefully Spigen will make a Zero One case for this Xperia. Still waiting for my M1 V1 to ship from Germany. Fingers-crossed it will accept my VZ SIM card.
I've been wanting an Xperia phone pretty much since they left my country back in 2015, and I'm just in love with this 1 VI, the form factor seems to be way more usable than the 21:9. I hate the fact that I would have to pay twice for it just in taxes to get it shipped to my country. I guess I'll have to stuck just to watch videos of it on RUclips since I can't really have it.
Can't wait to get mine soon. Sony has lot and powerful capabilities but I dint think they use all their power and knowledge I mean they made all great cameras and sensors. I believe next sony xperia 1 mrk 7 will be huge game changer
Sony offers a lot of what you really need in a smartphone like audio, camera, se card, battery,etc.)And when I say audio I mean that no other brand can even come close.The real problem with Sony is the price.Samsumg S24 plus is a product that sales and it is cheaper with a 2k screen and it is packed with features too.If the Xperia was like 1100 or 1200 euro/dollars it was a no contest.The 1080 wouldn't be a deal breaker for me either if it was in the price range.The PRO C is said to come this year witch will be a super device since the 1 VI is already fantastic but but the price of the PRO C will surely be ridiculous.
Since the previous Xperia operated at 1080p unless you were playing videos, it is not shocking that it would be difficult to tell the difference. I can 100% see the difference using a 6" 1440p and 6" 1080p screen. But I am nearsighted and use very fine text size with the phone less than 12" from my face.
You can see the difference of 4k if you had a picture open on the old Xperias and it switched to 4k - realistic sharpness improved a little at close distance. It's not going to matter for most daily use. Phone movie buffs may be disappointed in that aspect however the colours and brightness are still there (and better). Your 21:9 content is only going to be a millimetre or two less wide as the new phone is slightly shorter I think.
I'm really contemplating getting this phone 📱 for it's video quality. I was going to get the Xperia 1 V but since the VI is out, I would get this one. I have an S24 Ultra and the quality of it is okay and good only in some instances. The 8k video is the only thing going for it. But, you can't go wrong with a Sony. That is so funny that you are in Georgia as well! The bipolar weather of Georgia is something else sometimes 😆 But yes, I've taken videos with my S24 Ultra in Atlanta back in April, and I was impressed and not impressed. The video bobs to much and almost a jello effect whenever I pan with its built-in OIS. But, I'd be willing to get this smartphone unless I get a professional camera that can take 4k 120fps.
You are great in description,you are first real man who know what need to say in right place! Big like for you!I wilp subscribe on yours chanel just because you are real and have logic thinking! 💪
What would make this phone perfect for me is larger higher res sensors and 21:9 ratio, I actually like the FHD screen because I care about battery and I really like the sleek design
i sold the s24 ultra i like how the s24 operates but the cameras over process way to much i prefer sony over all the other phones but i do like vivo and xiaomi almost just as much
I wanted to buy one of these, but sony failed the in the update department…again, i just can’t justify 1200 bucks for 3 years of updates :/ The camera being the same exact sensor as last year is also a major bore. The photos you showed did look decent, so maybe that’s not entirely a dealbreaker, but it would’ve been nice for an even more upgraded main sensor.
I saw that reddit post, I hope you've replied to them with a pic! lol - I like xperia's just because of the design - i've just seen a post showing the the torch is so much brigher than the v now, this true? does it have any gps/compass issues? i've had the 1iv, 5iv and 1v and they all had compass issues, as in they were all out and google maps often facing the wrong way. thanks for the review. You must be the first in the US?
@@MobilePhotoObsession apologies, I’m the other side of the pond. Flashlight - apparently it’s brighter than s23u where previously all xperia flashlights were dim candles
Keen to see how long it will be before the quality control issues come up like finger print sensor failing etc. I’m keeping an eye on this phone…if there’s no quality control or software issues…I might get it.
You can't tell the difference in pixels between 4k and 1080 if you got bad eyes 😂 I had Xperia XZ Premium and went to 5 II... Thought I wouldn't see the difference like people say... But man I was wrong... I prefer 4k over longer battery.... And now the price o 1 V will drop so... Seems like a wiser choice. 😅
it will not sell well like most of their phones, even on a mobile contract, here in the UK its price is a joke FOR THE LOWEST AMOUNT UPFRONT SO £65 UPFRONT they expect £75 a month! thats stupid even new iphones cost nowhere near that the 15 pro max is only £54 a month with £49 upfront the galaxy s24 ultra is £51 a month with £49 upfront
I dont think so. The Phone itself is great, software is great no bs ads, the battery life is right now industry leading, better than S24U or iP 15 PM. The price is right and in fact, here in germany, probably for the first time ever, we got some real good, like ridiculously good contract deals.
I get that not everyone needs 4K on a device that small, but Sony are still selling the phone for £1300, but now at 1080p. Don’t you think that’s a bit of an “F you” to consumers? Battery life will be improved yes, but they already upgraded the battery tech with denser cells or something like that, so even with a higher res screen the battery would still have seen an improvement. Honestly think it’s an excuse from Sony. They should have at the very least knocked a couple hundred off the price.
I have the 1 V. Worth upgrading? And never bought a phone that wasn't available in US. How you port it over, and is the service just as good? I love the 1 V, was disappointed to hear 1080p but I know they used their technology that's in their TVs for screen. Prob why it's still good. I love Sony stuff. I only buy their TVs, and now their phones
The aspect ratio of this is just better for media consumption. Id rather have small black bars on the top and bottom when watching 21:9 movies than have giant black bars on the sides when watching 16:9 youtube
Hey man, great to see you getting hold of it already but would be perfect if you could kindly get a video done showing screen recording of the VI's video recording and zoom performance including some long/maximum distance photos as well please? That'd definitely be awesome my friend 😄👍🏼
ill try i am a caregiver so i dont get to leave the house very long to take photos of stuff. only went to my convention for a few hours this weekend. ill try though
Hey man, congrats! I want to get it someday too but as a freelancer, I haven't able to yet, do you need a logo or something? I would love to craft it for you and it will help me gain more experience and also fund to get me step by step to bigger dreams too! Let me know if you interested!
A great phone if the screen wasn't 1080p. Have the 1 III now and switched from the S21+ cause the screen looks like ass. How does it compare to something like the S21-S23+? Is it more dense than those Samsung phones?
Would buy it only if it was between apple, samsung and google, but when considering honor, oppo, vivo, oneplus. This phone has no chance in every category
i love xiaomi vivo and oppo and oneplus lol and they do have better zooms and larger sensors but the sony does have the most natural looking photos then all of them and it looks more like a sony camera then all of those ive had all the chinese flagships this year except the find x7 ultra
Not paying over 400 bucks for 1080p. I really am a fan of Sony from screen and camera technologies to audio solutions and gaming, but 1400 USD for this is not it. If I pick up an Xperia, it's gonna be the 1 V. Right now, the OnePlus 12 is amazing. Especially for it's price.
Depending on the individuals daily usage, 1080p and longer battery life will be a blessing no doubt. I understand it's bravia technology, but personally would prefer quad hd minimum after losing 4k. Like many others, I can notice a difference in sharpness when looking at the screen from 20-30 cm. Not necessarily pixel peeping. I think this phone has fantastic hardware and software, but losing a 4k screen and replacing with 1080p and still charging an insane amount of money is just bonkers. I'm not fussed with battery life. We all have car chargers etc to fit in with our daily routine, and in all honesty, how long do you plan on keeping the phone? Currently using an S23 ultra which is simply flawless in every department. Only gripe is the weight. Wondering if Sony will come back next year with a higher resolution screen. Higher resolution simply looks nicer. Content is more pleasant to look at. I think people who choose this will mainly be for the battery life. But, if Sony gave a quad hd screen with similar battery life, would the people prefer the better screen? Rather than keep saying it's overkill and not necessary? All that money for a fantastic phone with only a 1080p screen which is still overpriced with only 3 years of support? I can't see Sony selling many...
i keep phones sometimes 3-5 months the sony i had more times then every phone i had last year i kept going back to the one V so maybe i can stick with 1 phone its so hard i hate being a techwhore lol
Hello and thanks for the review!!! Can You please tell, if the selfie camera is good? I have sony Xperia 1ii and the selfie camera is the point i don't like because of the unnatural proportions it makes on my face. Huge forehead long nose etc... And if you are not exactly in the middle, forget about to look at least okay on the quick selfie. Does the Xperia vi does disproportional selfies as well? Thanks in advance 😊

For those who are wondering why the display resolution is now FHD instead of 2K, I want to tell you what I heard from the developer.
Sony has used 4K 21:9 displays until now.
However, 4K content optimized for smartphones did not become as popular as Sony had assumed.
Therefore, they choose to reduce the resolution, but there is a reason why Sony did not choose 2K.
Much of the content you play on your phone is in FHD, and not much of it is optimized for 2K.
Xperia is a smartphone from the creator's point of view.
With few creators making 2K content, they felt that there was little merit in adopting a 2K display just to dare to compete with other companies.
Quitting 4K has made the display significantly brighter than the 1 Ⅴ.
Also, the battery life is superior to the iPhone 15pro max and Galaxy S24.
I know this is disappointing for those who liked the 4K display, but I want you to know that it is not just a regression due to cost cutting, but also an evolution.
Sorry if my translation is not correct and I didn't convey it well.
very good, thank you bro
Thank You....
It’s a downgrade
Can't agree with that. Watching a lot of youtube and movies from d+, amazon etc.
It is a difference in that case. 😅
I prefer a crisp image over 3hours of longer usage ... 1080 p is a standard from 2014? 16?
And they added LTPO which is so great in terms of battery life
All of the people arguing about 4k and 1080p. Well i got my 1 VI now .. The new Xperia 1 VI has the new Sony Bravia AI screen. It's not just 1080p though, it switches to different contents which is actually stunning!!! If you guys still insist that it is the same as 1080p screen. Nope. there's a big difference between sony Bravia AI 1080P screen vs Samsung or LG 1080o screen.
Heating issues?
What's the difference though ?
I think the argument stems more from downgrading the screen resolution, but still selling at £1300.
What? 1080p is 1080p.
You can't have it it's not out yet
I own it as Sony Xperia 1 V wiith 1TB of storage + Samsung S24 Ultra 1TB. Top notch of products. I also own Sony A95K 55", PS5. I just enjoy Sony products.
Best honest review so far
ill try to do a update
Drop 4k for better battery is a good exchange i take it 💯
Exactly, plus they can focus on the camera, sound, screen, and battery quality. They don't want to cheap out, and I highly appreciate that
Samsung has 2k and you can adjust it, lower the resolution. You fanboys are just nuts. They could have just made it adjustable.
The fact that you already have the phone is a miracle by Sony standards for real. I really believe some of the criticisms are unfair even though I was also let down that they didn’t go with higher megapixel complimentary sensors given the competition but the tele-macro lens looks amazing. I’m waiting for the fall/winter for the newly rumored Sony Xperia Pro-C but I’m looking to see some great things come out of this phone.

Keen to see how long it will be before the quality control issues come up like finger print sensor failing etc. I’m keeping an eye on this phone…if there’s no quality control or software issues…I might get it.
I fuck with og PlayStation color too😂😂😂
So cool🎉
I opened this video because it was the only one without an obnoxious ‘RUclipsr face’ thumbnail or mindless patronising arrow pointing at the phone.
lol "Does stupid gasping face" lol
What carrier are you using this on? How is the reception with the limited bands?

You can't tell the difference in pixels between 4k and 1080 if you got bad eyes 😂 I had Xperia XZ Premium and went to 5 II...
Thought I wouldn't see the difference like people say... But man I was wrong...
I prefer 4k over longer battery.... And now the price o 1 V will drop so... Seems like a wiser choice. 😅
im in the process of getting a update video with some questions answered
Should i Upgrade from Xperia1iii!?? It's still good... 😉
lmao
How's the battery life for you?
@@HypnoticspellsOne day and one night. 80 % in my Opinion
@@pebbels3150 how much is that in screen on time (hours) I'm usually getting 4-5hrs which suck that's why I prefer Sony downgrading from 4k.

it will not sell well like most of their phones, even on a mobile contract, here in the UK its price is a joke FOR THE LOWEST AMOUNT UPFRONT SO £65 UPFRONT they expect £75 a month! thats stupid even new iphones cost nowhere near that the 15 pro max is only £54 a month with £49 upfront the galaxy s24 ultra is £51 a month with £49 upfront
true
I dont think so.
The Phone itself is great, software is great no bs ads, the battery life is right now industry leading, better than S24U or iP 15 PM.
The price is right and in fact, here in germany, probably for the first time ever, we got some real good, like ridiculously good contract deals.
IPhones are full of ads, you can't block them.....
I get that not everyone needs 4K on a device that small, but Sony are still selling the phone for £1300, but now at 1080p. Don’t you think that’s a bit of an “F you” to consumers? Battery life will be improved yes, but they already upgraded the battery tech with denser cells or something like that, so even with a higher res screen the battery would still have seen an improvement. Honestly think it’s an excuse from Sony. They should have at the very least knocked a couple hundred off the price.
i agree it should have been around prob 999 to maybe 1100 but not 1300+
Hi . Thanks for the video ! Can you tell us more about battery life ? How many hours of screen on time do you get in average on a single charge ?
ive been using it since 6am and it just hit 50% battery life at like 540pm this evening using it all day
Thx ! Seems like a great battery life .
Can't get the screen on time to record on allot of phones but it's best I've seen
I have the 1 V. Worth upgrading? And never bought a phone that wasn't available in US. How you port it over, and is the service just as good? I love the 1 V, was disappointed to hear 1080p but I know they used their technology that's in their TVs for screen. Prob why it's still good. I love Sony stuff. I only buy their TVs, and now their phones
if you like telephoto macro shots and extreme battery and better connection id say yes but only if you can sell your sony for a good chunk
@@MobilePhotoObsession ya Sony doesn't have a trade in program do they?
@@hdlowrider1903 don't think so
❤❤❤❤
best phone on the market hands down.
I want this phone so bad. It looks amazing.
The aspect ratio of this is just better for media consumption. Id rather have small black bars on the top and bottom when watching 21:9 movies than have giant black bars on the sides when watching 16:9 youtube
Gracias por mostrarlo la única desventaja que le veo es la disponibilidad y el precio alto
1080p is more than enough on a phone!
But there is nothing wrong to demand a 144p screen in that price point
@@TheAshuV I prefer a 1080p screen over anything higher. I'd rather demand a lower price
This is what people say to make themselves feel better for paying flagship prices for mid range specs.
@@theef143 except I am not paying that price, I'll buy it once its gone by 25% down minimum
Hey man, great to see you getting hold of it already but would be perfect if you could kindly get a video done showing screen recording of the VI's video recording and zoom performance including some long/maximum distance photos as well please? That'd definitely be awesome my friend 😄👍🏼
ill try i am a caregiver so i dont get to leave the house very long to take photos of stuff. only went to my convention for a few hours this weekend. ill try though
@@MobilePhotoObsession thanks man, all the best to you 🙏🏼
You just ended that guy's entire Carrer. Kek.
im a caregiver for my grand parents i only upload for shiz and giggles lol
Hey man, congrats! I want to get it someday too but as a freelancer, I haven't able to yet, do you need a logo or something? I would love to craft it for you and it will help me gain more experience and also fund to get me step by step to bigger dreams too! Let me know if you interested!
Where did you order and does it work on T-mobile?
It does. And Swifttronics has them.
Where did you order from
Does it have a notification light? Nice review!!! 👌
nope and thanks
A great phone if the screen wasn't 1080p. Have the 1 III now and switched from the S21+ cause the screen looks like ass. How does it compare to something like the S21-S23+? Is it more dense than those Samsung phones?
the screen is great ive had all of those phones i cant say its worse or better its got bravia tech in it
Would buy it only if it was between apple, samsung and google, but when considering honor, oppo, vivo, oneplus. This phone has no chance in every category
i love xiaomi vivo and oppo and oneplus lol and they do have better zooms and larger sensors but the sony does have the most natural looking photos then all of them and it looks more like a sony camera then all of those ive had all the chinese flagships this year except the find x7 ultra
Looks great. What’s the 3.5mm audio out like compared to the 1 v?
i was not concerned about 1080p but about those bezels
My concern is the service in the US. I have read it does not support all of our frequencies. What carrier do you have and how is the reception?
it had very slow speeds on mintmobile but not Tmobile which is very weird because mint uses tmobile
Thanks for the upload
I thought these were only coming out in the UK? I'm in the US too. Where did you get yours?
I just got mine from Germany since I'm stationed there
What's the version for US? I'm definitely getting the 6. I'm so disappointed with pixel phone.
No call or 5G issues?
on Tmobile it was perfect
How's your cellular reception? I have one coming in, but now I'm worried it won't get service here (USA).
sucked on Mint mobile only 30-300 mbps on Tmobile up to 1400 mbps
where did you order it from?

Not paying over 400 bucks for 1080p. I really am a fan of Sony from screen and camera technologies to audio solutions and gaming, but 1400 USD for this is not it. If I pick up an Xperia, it's gonna be the 1 V. Right now, the OnePlus 12 is amazing. Especially for it's price.
I'm trying to get one and I'm in the USA the Sony website doesn't show it
amazon has them i got mine from Wondamobile

What network you running on? I see the sony site says it supports all T-Moible frequencies except one so looks like it should work just fine.

Depending on the individuals daily usage, 1080p and longer battery life will be a blessing no doubt. I understand it's bravia technology, but personally would prefer quad hd minimum after losing 4k. Like many others, I can notice a difference in sharpness when looking at the screen from 20-30 cm. Not necessarily pixel peeping. I think this phone has fantastic hardware and software, but losing a 4k screen and replacing with 1080p and still charging an insane amount of money is just bonkers. I'm not fussed with battery life. We all have car chargers etc to fit in with our daily routine, and in all honesty, how long do you plan on keeping the phone? Currently using an S23 ultra which is simply flawless in every department. Only gripe is the weight. Wondering if Sony will come back next year with a higher resolution screen. Higher resolution simply looks nicer. Content is more pleasant to look at. I think people who choose this will mainly be for the battery life. But, if Sony gave a quad hd screen with similar battery life, would the people prefer the better screen? Rather than keep saying it's overkill and not necessary? All that money for a fantastic phone with only a 1080p screen which is still overpriced with only 3 years of support? I can't see Sony selling many...
Sony cell phone is and remains a niche product
i keep phones sometimes 3-5 months the sony i had more times then every phone i had last year i kept going back to the one V so maybe i can stick with 1 phone its so hard i hate being a techwhore lol
Hello and thanks for the review!!! Can You please tell, if the selfie camera is good? I have sony Xperia 1ii and the selfie camera is the point i don't like because of the unnatural proportions it makes on my face. Huge forehead long nose etc... And if you are not exactly in the middle, forget about to look at least okay on the quick selfie. Does the Xperia vi does disproportional selfies as well? Thanks in advance 😊
its mid
👍 thank You ❣️
Does it come with any screen protector film? Did you put a screen protector yourself?
no i bought one from mr shields on amazon
