@@reishakyu3553 I like iems too and I wouldn’t tolerate mediocre quality in a headphone amp, likewise a mediocre quality storage technology that is very very likely to corrupt.

Maybe it's a bit OCD of me, but there's one thing that has made me use an Xperia phone for the past 6 years. The screen. No, not because they have better screens than any other manufacturer, it's because they don't have any daft potholes, notches, pillholes etc in them. Just can't use any phone with one. The screen holes just catch my eye and I can't unsee them.
Yes, even the curved bezel on the Huawei P20 Pro was distracting for me. Sony has kept things classic, practical, no-nonsense. The only thing that the Xperia 1 VI lacks is the anti-glare Gorilla Armor, which is also stronger than Victus 2.
One thing that rubs me the wrong way is how people criticized Sony's "overkill" 4K display and wanted a lower resolution, yet now present the FHD+ display as inferior to Samsung's BECAUSE OF the inferior ppi. What do people want? Lower resolution, or higher?
The people rarely know what’s best. Virtually nobody ever realises the main bottleneck behind the camera image quality is the quality of the optics of the lens
People just want longer battery idiots dont know how premium display 4k is on mobile i have xperia 1 iii is just give a cinematic vibe outstanding display with natural colours
I just can't live with Samsung's photo processing. I can't. It's awful. Anyone saying any different needs their head examining. You might have to work a little harder on the Sony but at least you'll get really good images that look like the thing you're looking at rather than a painting created by AI based on focus groups in Korea. Sony for me.
Next year's Xperia 1 VII will have that anti glare coating but I can't wait till than as my current phone Xperia 1 ii is very nearly 4 years old now and it's getting slow and losing juice it doesn't last me a day anymore so I have to upgrade this year but it's still a cracking phone and next year's Xperia will probably have a 1440p screen and less battery life 🔋 🤷♂️ I just can't decide on colour, I like the silver but I don't know about looking at those silver bezels all day every day the black is more subtle and sleeker 🤔
Ok. The 1Vl is more user friendly as you pointing out regarding to size and weight compared with the others. In all a very honest review. Sony didnt get the video pro app right at first but after android 15 it seems it got what was needed. It has great speakers and no holes and are fun with the pro modes. It has more to play with and the size and weight are just sony. At first i wasnt overjoyed but now i can say its a huge upgrade from the 1iii. And its true with the battery. So even if the S24 are better in some ways i chose sony evry day.
Hi! I changed my galaxy s24 ultra to Sony Xperia 1 VI because I'm used to the quality, and unfortunately the galaxy s24 ultra still doesn't offer quality but only quantity over and over again. The Xperia 1 VI offers quality, although the Xperia screen should be a little better than just HDR+, it is compensated by a very long battery life, a pretty good camera with its natural color gamut, a very fast phone, and the Xperia doesn't even have the upgrades that have been done on the s24 ultra and every update made the s24 ultra camera worse and worse and more! This is my description, knowledge and experience at this time and it doesn't have to be suitable for others! Thank you!
Every samsung phone camera degrade over software update they did that so that their newer phone will sell well as people want the best camera. I am a samsung users even network activity is very poor on the samsung especially compare to phone like vivo, redmi, also their choice of chipset on some model is very bad at what the price of the phone
Hello Ken, I got mine last Monday, so some six days ago. I’ve been experimenting with it and I’m very satisfied although there is still a lot to discover. I’ve been next to my Motorola which I am quite satisfied with, anyway. But, I’m an Alpha Sony camera user, so this is more than a natural choice for me. However the technical specs convinced me to finally buy a plus €1000 or dollar or pounds phone… This only has so many advantages like the 190 g of weight, the three-point 5 Jack, deck, the nice Grippie feel of the whole thing and the extra ordinary battery life, that you mentioned. At the moment I’m experimenting with its battery life myself…
Sony any day. Think you didn't get Sony the prober credit for the picture quality. The camera app is easy to use, and has got many features as well. Auto is very high quality, and better than the artificial looks og Samsung, but the pro mode of Sony takes the win any day...
So I have a galaxy s10+ and want to upgrade for the better camera. Only problem for me is all these new phones dont have a memory slot. Is this Sony camera worth it?
I don't understand, everyone is talking about the screen and photo quality. comparing phones. There are so many other important things, such as the quality of music played, both on speakers and headphones (especially on the 3.5mm output, where Sony leaves all competitors far behind)
I have the S24U...great phone...virtually never use the stylus.... I have the Xperia mark 6 on order and waiting for delivery. The thing I care about the least on "any" phone is the camera. I shoot like 10 pictures a year - LOL. ALL recently modern cell phones take better than average pictures for 99% of the population, and they're viewed on a 6 inch screen. They all look just fine. The things the Samsung doesn't have that the Sony does is what I am interested in. All the different hardware features. From reading on various sites I think the cell reception on Mint (T-Mobile) will be just fine. A long distance trip outside of the city may be problematic without N71 but I rarely travel more than a few miles from home as it is! We will see soon enough. If the reception is bad...I will return it and keep the S24U. If the reception is good I will be utilizing Swappa again.
@@josephseman5333 I already have a Sony Xperia 1 VI. I am very pleased, I wouldn't trade it for anything else. For me, the most important thing is the musical quality. But sometimes I use my phones to record videos and take photos for my channels. It turns out that it is not suitable for the films I make. It's not the phone's fault but the software's fault. I don't understand that when you buy such an expensive phone, Sony can't fix it quickly.
This is so helpful, thank you so much. Ive always been a huge Galaxy fan, have had pretty much everything and only went to a Sony Xperia once some years ago. But that macro draws me straight back in and Im getting older and liking the idea of easy to hold, bit lighter etc. Many thanks indeed. Plus - yes, have not had a 3.5 jack for many years hooray! (Oh and my phone is my pancreas - I need all the battery life I can get. The phone controls glucose monitoring and insulin delivery etc etc, dont really like it when my pancreas runs out of battery!
what about laggy animations on Xperia ? there is really annoying lag while phone changing refresh rate nobody mentioning. Tested both for 10 days and here is my outcome: Xperia Audio: more bass, less spacious, Battery: very good performance, great standby results, drop during the night only 1% Indoor photos (gray conditions): less noise, more sharp outcome. White balance rather cool, whole shoot is sharp, better macro capabilities. Indoor photos (dark conditions): much less noise, much sharer outcome, better highlights management Video overall: lack of sharpness, Xperia 1 V recorded much clearer video over VideoPro app. Video Zoom: soft, lack of saturation, stabilization could be much better Video night: needs software improvement, too shaky stabilization, lots of noise. Additional features: Memory card slot, 3.5mm audio port, Extra: less premium feeling while holding it in hand, but is much more comfortable due to size and weight S24U Audio: much more specious sound, with slightly less bass. Battery: great battery performance after updates, average standby, drop during the night by 3% Indoor photos (gray conditions): more noise, sharpness present in the center of the shot, little green tint, more warm white balance Indoor photos (dark conditions): much more noise, photo is sharp in the center, worse highlights management Video overall: much sharper, with higher dynamic range. Little bit more saturated, Video Zoom: clearer picture, sharper, very good stabilization, saturation is just on the good level, Video night: lack of lens flares, sharpness is OK, sometimes appearing magenta/green tint. Additional features: S-Pen, DeX, Antireflecting display coating, Extra: premium feeling while holding in the hand, little bit less comfortable however with bigger screen. Verdict: I decided to stay with S24U. This is more complex phone as a whole package (we should remember that phone is not only about camera). System navigation is smooth and phone has much more features which justify price more than in Xperia case. Sony still needs few software updates to fix some issues, for instance there is a weird lag which appears while phone changing panel refresh rate. Video has a lot to improve, there is a lot of sharpening applied to photos in auto mode.
I think what people don't consider is reselling value.. when moving to new phone S24U will offer more value in trade in or easier to sell than Xperia phones... I don't think most people think of that just a little forward planning...
I do think of it...I have had several Sony phones and sold them all over time. (Can't remember the sales prices I received.) However, you do make a very valid point!
I've had my Xperia 1 ii for nearly 4 years and I'm glad I didn't go for the 1v because this new Xperia is simply amazing and 3 day battery life will still be 2 day battery life in 4 years time instead of charging when I get home from work lol. But there's something to be said for a phone that lasts 4 years !
Is the tearing on the Samsung side of the display done by your video editing software or the phone? Looks really bad, and if the "AI" features on the Samsung are worth anything, they should fix that. Not that it makes much difference for me, I am a happy Sony user (10 III at the moment) and will be forced to use a Samsung soon because my employer uses the frying pan and fire approach for our work phones - Samsung or Apple. And I'd rather use a Samsung than an iPhone, hoping that I can switch off most of the battery-consuming and experience-killing "features" on the Samsung. Sadly, I won't get my favourite feature from the Sony - the fingerprint reader in the on-off-button. A perfect place IMHO.
5sony all day long am not one for taking photos more into my music and have used wired headphones all my life and micro sd card is cool so sony for me I got the newest sony the other day and so far it's awesome
Can anybody tell me if and how the fingerprint function works on the Sony xperia? That's a big factor for me as I use that option heavily throughout the day.
Hi Everyone, can you please answer When you take a selfie pic or video; can it be flipped? before or after can you change the font and size, and the menu lay out or do you use theme launchers? How often are the updates on the Sony? Please assist.
Sony every time. Those who know, know. Samsung just make fake Sony. Xperia since day 1. Still got all of them. Never a cracked screen. Better picture, audio, battery,... SAMSUNG. COPYING SONY FOR 40 YEARS. 👍
A 1.5k screen (yes it's the minimum today, and above all, Samsung was criticized for years for its S+ which were "just FHD"), 4 years minimum of Android update (but the smartphone must be released in February at the latest, not 2-3 months before the new Android version and especially the new Snapdragon) because there, it's no longer even 3 years of updating but 2 years in real life, a 1" main sensor, better video stabilization, keeping its niche features (Pro Camera, colorimetry, headphone jack, SD card) by adding mainstream features (better HDR, better photo night mode good auto camera like on iPhones, Galaxy and other smartphones), a "really" good telescopic zoom, and above all a price of $1000- $1100 max, there, Sony will be able to get back into the game. 🙏🏽
Please can you compare it to iPhone if someone use Mac is worth to use Xperia 1 VI and also compare to Xiaomi 14 Ultra, Huawei Pura 70 and Oppo X7 in camera department especially to include macro and tele
I think sonny will add a night mode or tweak the HDR and general brightness of nighttime shots with updates as my 4 year old Xperia 1 ii shoots better night time shots than it used to when new and for most phones it's usually the other way around they get worse as they get older to make you buy the newer model 😆
Xperia and Galaxy are not similar at all. To understand this deeply, it is worth knowing that the differences in the way each country thinks are at the root. Sony, which makes Xperia, is a Japanese company. Japan is a country that values naturalness. Therefore, even today, there are few people who want to have cosmetic surgery, and when this becomes clear, they tend not to be viewed favorably. Samsung, which makes Galaxy, is a Korean company. Korea is a country that is greedy to obtain ideal beauty even if it is artificially done. This sometimes leads to the idea that it is okay to be beautiful even if it is a lie. As a result, Korea has become known as one of the world's leading cosmetic surgery powerhouses, and it is a culture in which most beautiful women walking around the city have had cosmetic surgery. This is also connected to the direction of smartphone development, and Xperia cameras tend to value the natural color seen by the eye and do not intervene artificially as much as possible. If I had to say, there is a part that aims to take photos that reflect only the photographer's intentions. Therefore, unless it is intended, AI will almost never add any flavor. On the other hand, Galaxy cameras are exactly like Korea itself, and it is better to take beautiful photos even if they are fake, right? This idea is at the root of it. Therefore, AI also actively intervenes, aiming to take flashy and beautiful photos regardless of who takes them, rather than following the photographer's intentions. As a result, it has succeeded in generating flashy and eye-catching images for social media. However, if you ask whether the photos are tasteful, you will quickly tire of them, so it's safe to say that they are best suited for social media. We can't say which is right, but these two models are clearly suited to different people. “Why the iPhone sells well to Japanese people.” It's a very simple story. There are many different types of people in Japan, and the reason is that many people are very brand-dependent. Another factor is that in Japan, it is mainstream for carriers to sell devices, but Apple imposed strict sales quotas on carriers, which led to iPhones being offered at unusually low prices. Therefore, iPhones are especially popular among light users who are not very knowledgeable about smartphones and people who are not very wealthy (however, due to political intervention in this area, more and more people are unable to buy new iPhones because they are too expensive). Also, a strange atmosphere has been created among high school and college students, where people feel that if they don't have an iPhone, they can't join in. In short, many people treat smartphones like fashion items, and carriers sell them at a large discount, and as the number of iPhone users has increased to a certain level, the situation where students cannot communicate well with their friends without using Airdrop has spread.

Only Experia owners will say that this review is a bad one. The Sony phones are for manual photos, and they always show you the auto mode and not the results when you use the manual. This is the main power of the sony, bit they never show it😂
Yeah but using manual mode or shooting in RAW and post processing your images is not a realistic use case for 99% of people. If I'm taking photos with my phone then I expect decent quality instantly, if I want to have a proper photoshoot, use manual and edit my pictures then I'm using my DSLR
Samsung is trash. I never get these videos. I've had both the S23 ultra (which stopped charging after 6 months) and the Xperia 1 V. And there want one set of circumstances that the Samsung took better pictures. My wife and I went on vacation, her having a Samsung, and my phone took better photos. And for people who just want to point and shoot, put the Xperia on P (program mode) and the phone does everything for you, or you can change things on the fly. It's easy. I really don't get these tests results at all. Samsung TVs are garbage too by the way for the same reasons. Oversaturated, unrealistic over processing garbage. My Sony OLED will be at any Samsung TV as well
Samsung has become absolute dogshit recently. I've been using samsung for a while now but I'm def moving back to Sony on my next phoo....o, my samsung just stopped charging; time to finance an xperia, I guess.
Here's why i bought Sony, although im loving Spen in Samsung. Tbh, without Spen, i wouldnt even get Samsung. Sony have everything a phone wants. Audio jack, memory card, i love the V ratio, but now loving VI ratio. Super good Battery....its everything u need. Of course, the lacking is there...and truth is, i only bought one at 810usd/rm3500. Above 1000 was ridiculous for me. Even if im rich - maybe
I stopped using Sony as both previous phones just slowly died for no reason even though the physical phone was in tip-top shape. Poor software support or even some backdoor malware causing the phones to slowly die.
This guy: "Samsungs camera wins every single catagory and its only real criticism is colours are too vivid, if you want the better phone go for the samsung" The comments: "I burned down a samsung factory to show sony how much I love paying double the price for an inferior phone"

Can anybody tell me if and how the fingerprint function works on the Sony xperia? That's a big factor for me as I use that option heavily throughout the day.
It works very well. My 1iii are still good and had no issues with the sensor.
Grenade manufacturer(Note 7 boom + guaranteed OLED purple /green liner) v.s. Industrial leader. You decide.
Xperia got green line too
Nobody buys sony phones lol. Not even japs or wapanese people. Nipon is iphone land.
Hi Everyone,
can you please answer
When you take a selfie pic or video; can it be flipped? before or after
can you change the font and size, and the menu lay out or do you use theme launchers?
How often are the updates on the Sony?
Please assist.
Sony every time. Those who know, know. Samsung just make fake Sony. Xperia since day 1. Still got all of them. Never a cracked screen. Better picture, audio, battery,... SAMSUNG. COPYING SONY FOR 40 YEARS. 👍
Samsung looks so stupid to me you are almost walking around with a TV, Sony ftw.
A 1.5k screen (yes it's the minimum today, and above all, Samsung was criticized for years for its S+ which were "just FHD"), 4 years minimum of Android update (but the smartphone must be released in February at the latest, not 2-3 months before the new Android version and especially the new Snapdragon) because there, it's no longer even 3 years of updating but 2 years in real life, a 1" main sensor, better video stabilization, keeping its niche features (Pro Camera, colorimetry, headphone jack, SD card) by adding mainstream features (better HDR, better photo night mode good auto camera like on iPhones, Galaxy and other smartphones), a "really" good telescopic zoom, and above all a price of $1000- $1100 max, there, Sony will be able to get back into the game.
🙏🏽
I own a Samsung but tbh it's getting awfuly annoying how big Samsung Ultras are, specially for people with, well, regular sized hands
This is why the standard S24 exists 🤷🏽♂️
@@rolins3279 I clearly stated the Ultras are getting too big
I shouldn't have to have half a tablet to get a good camera
@@my2randomcents And as I said above, that's why the S24 and S24 Plus exist, for those who want more compact smartphones 🤷🏽♂️
@@rolins3279 your reading comprehension is null huh?
@@my2randomcents 🙏🏽
Please can you compare it to iPhone if someone use Mac is worth to use Xperia 1 VI and also compare to Xiaomi 14 Ultra, Huawei Pura 70 and Oppo X7 in camera department especially to include macro and tele
Sony wins for me
I wish there was a way we could see the camera comparison without AI.
I think sonny will add a night mode or tweak the HDR and general brightness of nighttime shots with updates as my 4 year old Xperia 1 ii shoots better night time shots than it used to when new and for most phones it's usually the other way around they get worse as they get older to make you buy the newer model 😆
So maybe Sony dont need a protect case?
I've owned Sony phones before anyone even knew they existed. I am a huge Sony fan boy.
Who used Xperia he will just like it or love it in overall ❤ wether have more or less options with other competitors
Sony is the real king
I enjoyed macro photography and found sony to have a better DOF photo around here. As for the rest, I choose samsung.
Based on another reviewer Sony doesn't use all the power of the chip.
Xperia❤
Last sony phone in 2018 sony Xperia xz premium sony is masterpiece
now i use s23 ultra
Sony alpha crazy smartphone manual monstrers 4 k 🤦🤷 display
Dafuq?
I Like them both and I hate them both. My Xperia 1 IV is starting to fail so I need a new one.
Sony xperia 1 vi is better
Xperia and Galaxy are not similar at all. To understand this deeply, it is worth knowing that the differences in the way each country thinks are at the root. Sony, which makes Xperia, is a Japanese company. Japan is a country that values naturalness. Therefore, even today, there are few people who want to have cosmetic surgery, and when this becomes clear, they tend not to be viewed favorably. Samsung, which makes Galaxy, is a Korean company. Korea is a country that is greedy to obtain ideal beauty even if it is artificially done. This sometimes leads to the idea that it is okay to be beautiful even if it is a lie. As a result, Korea has become known as one of the world's leading cosmetic surgery powerhouses, and it is a culture in which most beautiful women walking around the city have had cosmetic surgery. This is also connected to the direction of smartphone development, and Xperia cameras tend to value the natural color seen by the eye and do not intervene artificially as much as possible. If I had to say, there is a part that aims to take photos that reflect only the photographer's intentions. Therefore, unless it is intended, AI will almost never add any flavor. On the other hand, Galaxy cameras are exactly like Korea itself, and it is better to take beautiful photos even if they are fake, right? This idea is at the root of it. Therefore, AI also actively intervenes, aiming to take flashy and beautiful photos regardless of who takes them, rather than following the photographer's intentions. As a result, it has succeeded in generating flashy and eye-catching images for social media. However, if you ask whether the photos are tasteful, you will quickly tire of them, so it's safe to say that they are best suited for social media. We can't say which is right, but these two models are clearly suited to different people.
“Why the iPhone sells well to Japanese people.”
It's a very simple story. There are many different types of people in Japan, and the reason is that many people are very brand-dependent. Another factor is that in Japan, it is mainstream for carriers to sell devices, but Apple imposed strict sales quotas on carriers, which led to iPhones being offered at unusually low prices. Therefore, iPhones are especially popular among light users who are not very knowledgeable about smartphones and people who are not very wealthy (however, due to political intervention in this area, more and more people are unable to buy new iPhones because they are too expensive). Also, a strange atmosphere has been created among high school and college students, where people feel that if they don't have an iPhone, they can't join in. In short, many people treat smartphones like fashion items, and carriers sell them at a large discount, and as the number of iPhone users has increased to a certain level, the situation where students cannot communicate well with their friends without using Airdrop has spread.
Everything you say is fine and well put, but tell me then, why do even Japanese not buy Sony smartphones, and only buy everything that is American 🤔

For some reason my response was immediately deleted, so I added a response to the above text.

🚩The grass is greener in the USA syndrome!!!
False reality. Japan!🇯🇵.Sad.
Thinking about leaving Xperia and going to Galaxy...my Xperia I IV is very underwhelming....
Only Experia owners will say that this review is a bad one.
The Sony phones are for manual photos, and they always show you the auto mode and not the results when you use the manual.
This is the main power of the sony, bit they never show it😂
Yeah but using manual mode or shooting in RAW and post processing your images is not a realistic use case for 99% of people. If I'm taking photos with my phone then I expect decent quality instantly, if I want to have a proper photoshoot, use manual and edit my pictures then I'm using my DSLR
Samsung is trash. I never get these videos. I've had both the S23 ultra (which stopped charging after 6 months) and the Xperia 1 V. And there want one set of circumstances that the Samsung took better pictures. My wife and I went on vacation, her having a Samsung, and my phone took better photos. And for people who just want to point and shoot, put the Xperia on P (program mode) and the phone does everything for you, or you can change things on the fly. It's easy. I really don't get these tests results at all. Samsung TVs are garbage too by the way for the same reasons. Oversaturated, unrealistic over processing garbage. My Sony OLED will be at any Samsung TV as well
Samsung has become absolute dogshit recently. I've been using samsung for a while now but I'm def moving back to Sony on my next phoo....o, my samsung just stopped charging; time to finance an xperia, I guess.
Sony should produce a flip and fold phone with microsd slot et head phone jack! It will be amazing!
Ah man.. a modern reboot of the old clamshells would make me way more excited than I should be.
Here's why i bought Sony, although im loving Spen in Samsung. Tbh, without Spen, i wouldnt even get Samsung.
Sony have everything a phone wants. Audio jack, memory card, i love the V ratio, but now loving VI ratio. Super good Battery....its everything u need. Of course, the lacking is there...and truth is, i only bought one at 810usd/rm3500. Above 1000 was ridiculous for me. Even if im rich - maybe
I stopped using Sony as both previous phones just slowly died for no reason even though the physical phone was in tip-top shape.
Poor software support or even some backdoor malware causing the phones to slowly die.
The probably have kill switches . Not surprising from sony.
Both are too expensive. Both are too big.
Not for me.
The sony should be 6.8".
@@rexluminus9867 it should be 6
Samsung has many many features than Xperia
WOW 👑 SONY GOD FOREVER 🥇✌️👑
Paid review from ☠️☠️samsung☠️☠️
I would never buy a 21 by 9 phone. Get back to 18 by 9.. i dont need a long dong schlong phone. I need a phone for typing aswell.
This guy: "Samsungs camera wins every single catagory and its only real criticism is colours are too vivid, if you want the better phone go for the samsung"
The comments: "I burned down a samsung factory to show sony how much I love paying double the price for an inferior phone"
There is no competition, sony skin interface is garbage. S24 Ultra all the way.
