I have had this cell phone for almost 1 year. And it's really great. In the beginning, it had problems with overheating, but after the update - there are no more problems with overheating. A good cell phone, especially the camera.
@@zahidm616 its average because of the 4k display which you cant lower to like 1080p and 120hz you can get about 6-7 hours of screen time lasts an entire day for most people
I've preordered the 1V but I am seriously tempted to just go for a 1IV and not wait. I don't really need to record video for long periods. Also I'm bummed that they got rid of the purple. Still undecided but making us wait 2 months really sucks and has me second guessing it. I'm sure the new main cam is better but I'm coming from a 5+ year old jobsite phone with an unbelievably bad camera. Anything will be a massive improvement and the 1IV's camera already was great.
Trust me, you don't want to make concessions like that for a phone you're gonna spend all your time with. Also, i got one for my dad a couple weeks ago, it feels a lot more premium. The no purple is a bummer, but green's nice too.
I was wondering. I you hook up a Xperia IV with a power cable and film a video like this in the highest quality. Will it not overheat because of the pass trough charging? Just like it won't overheat with gaming? Because that would make it a great phone for studio filming.
Who takes an hour long video in a mobile phone, lol plus I live in Canada half of the year is cold, but the most important reason why I would still buy this phone is the 50% off from its original price, I will never buy a 1500 dollar worth of mobile phone that depreciates in value
@@tobbakken2911 yeah! Love the classic design so much. And in video games you can see this model used often! but after almost 8 years its finally starting to slow and need an upgrade. I love sony phones but man they expensive
I enjoy this phone so much so I will keep it however I am going to get the mark five but thank you so much for your videos and your comments you have been very helpful through the years
I considered to buy the Xperia 1 IV but the 1 V is around the corner and the pre-order deals are just too nice to skip. You get the 1 V for $1399 and pre-order bonus are the WM5 headphones which costs currently $350. So at best you will pay $1050. A stealer.
I really want to buy this phone (899 right now) to have a new experience, bored of other smartphones but my main concerne is the battery life. what's the screen on time daily? thank you for this review. great Job!
So it over heats when using gps. But what if I plug in a charger while driving. Does the pass through work like it does with the gaming? Heat Supression Power Control.
so it is September of 2024... 2 years later since its release. I paid $600 for it from B&H (only slightly used, but basically in New condition). Seemed like a good deal. Is it worth it? It will be arriving today....Any longer term updates?
Both work fine for me after rooting it and using Shizuku and Pixel IMS to enable these features. It's unfortunate that I had to go that route for something T-mobile deliberately disabled on these phones, but at least I'm happy I found a workaround.
Xperia 1 iv 256 gb is now being sold at a really good price 873 dollar In my country and the 512 gb 970 dollar But I guess who has money Better to go buy Xperia 1v because the 8 gen 2
Hi. Regarding to Xperia 5 IV - Is 8 GB of RAM enough? If anyone ever used - haven't you noticed a decrease in performance with intensive use of the application? google maps (navigation), whatsap, chrome and many tabs? I'm thinking about Xperia 1 IV, it has 12GB RAM.
Honestly if you don't play intensively, shokt videos or use too much heavy applications, this is still a beast of a phone. I think the only reason they never used the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 is because it was in development before the chip was announced. So they can't immediately do the change. Otherwise, for casual to heavy use if you don't do intensive work, it's a great phone.
Lol yup I think I'll only get 1 year old flagships from now on. Rocking an S21U so my next phone will probably be an S22U(or maybe even one of the other flagship offerings from 2022.)
Has anyone seen or heard anything about the excessive blu light both of the new V's are using.?? Ive seen it mentioned in a few reviews and with the switch to the iphone look camera,for me it was a turn off which is a shame because the "compact range" has been my go to since they released them. But i ended up replacing my recently smashed 5 IV to a 1 IV. Feeling confident ive made the right decision lol 🤔🤔
Bonjour, Si tout se passe bien j'achète un nouveau smartphone en fin de mois. J'ai la marque de cœur qui est Sony et j'hésite entre le modèle Xperia 1 IV actuellement à 899€ et le nouveau Xperia 5 V à 999€. Je sais que le premier avait des problèmes de chauffe mais qui sont aujourd'hui résolu et qu'il s'est franchement bien amélioré. Le deuxième fait débat à cause du capteur en moins, j'ai cru comprendre que l'écran était moins bon (même si j'en doute) que le 5 IV. Perso j'ai un Sony Xperia XZ3 et j'ai un usage "standard", réseaux sociaux, vidéo, musique, un peu de jeux mais pas les énormes trucs gourmands en ressources, appel et SMS, bref du classique quoi. Pourriez vous m'aider à faire un choix en mettant en avant des arguments pour les deux ?
I had it for about a week. It locked up taking photos, would often require a reboot. It was a horrible phone. Too bad too, because the camera had me excited.
@@TechOdyssey the one thing I miss about the PRO I, is that it had a separate dedicated button for launching the video app. On my Sony IV, I've occasionally missed shots fumbling with the touch screen to launch it and missed the moment. Hopefully the PRO I 2 retains this feature. Love your channel btw, always great content 👍
Massively. Don't buy it if you plan on being a heavy user of it. I'm a courier and it can't hope with the constant calling of the camera and navigation. The throttling it does to prevent overheating turns it into a device from 2010.
Please show us the phone more, and don't just wave it around for 1 second here and there. The voice can be consistent and then cut back and forth between your face and the phone, or even better, only do a voice over and just show us the main character for this video, Xperia, instead of your face.
I have no idea why people buy expensive phones.if your a video or photography buy a camera.for the normal people that just take pic and use apps buy a cheaper phone pixel 6a or Samsung a54.these chipset may load 1 to 2 seconds faster wow! Android has a big offering and we're in such a bad economy save your money!
You can make a 1000$ iPhone make sense if you play you’re cards right. • buy 1000$ iPhone •use phone for 4-5 years • sell iPhone for 200$ after 4-5 years Thats what i typically do because iPhones hold there value and get great support. Also if you aren’t tied down to a carrier they sometimes give you the new iPhone for free as long as you sign a contract. I was probably going buy the unlimited plan anyway so mines well get the perks thats come with it. Good luck!

Hey 👋 how does the battery hold up after all these years?
I've had it for almost a year. No problem and no overheating. A perfect phone.
Must be nice
It's not quite perfect, the heat issue problem is still inherent to the chip. It gets hot but it never OVERheats
What about the battery daily usage?
@@zahidm616 its average because of the 4k display which you cant lower to like 1080p and 120hz you can get about 6-7 hours of screen time lasts an entire day for most people
Buying this at 400$ used feels like a cheat.. and now off into the night for another photo session :)
I've been using Sony Xperia 1IV since last year, enjoying with a great experience of wonderful photos ❤
Thanks - I agree with you that after the IV price is adjusted, IV is very decent.

Go for xperia 1 V and don't look back. It's a complete phone and fixes the things xperia 1IV struggles with

Does the IV get 5g in the USA?
The US model does. Not the international model
And the international model has 5G but without mWave, In the US it also comes with mWave modem.
Where is subscribe button?
android 13 or 14 is more better for 1iv?
Is it still worth picking up in 2024?
I've just bought a "like new" 1 IV for £450. It's never constantly hot here so worth taking a chance on my dream device.
I'll get the v next year 😂
I'm looking for 1 IV is it good device is there any heating issue? plz tell me
