I worked for Sony in my country. Let me tell you, that the Japanese are very sincere with their work and product. They mean with their soul when they tell you they worked on Xperia. Countless late nights and brain cells have been invested to bring you Playstation, TVs, and now Xperia.
@@WaterLemmon why? almost every company produces most of their products in China. And there are good reasons why that is. Ranging from cost, but also supply chain (almost all parts are made in China and often in the same general area), and skill/education level (China produces more engineers than the US and India combined). And besides.....Xperia phones are made in Thailand. That is where the Xperia factory is.
iPhone user since the iPhone 4s. I have been looking for a ‘grown up’ phone which doesn’t feel like its built as a social media machine - came close to switching with the 1V but the 1VI has tipped me over the edge - you won a new customer Sony!
So it took Sony to make a iPhone copy to put you over the edge. This has put me off from Sony. No oled screen, no 21:9 aspect, looks like all the phones on the market and doesn't even have the same amount of update support. No thanks. Let's see if you will pay the Sony tax at release for a phone that is like the rest.
@@F14Mavrick So what do you want? I'm Samsung S23U user and I will buy Sony this time. For a moral person Sony and Samsung are the only options, everything else is made in China.
Beautiful phone. I am still rocking the 4 year old Xperia 1ii that is still as good as new. Such an amazing phone. Great battery, display, camera, fingerprint sensor on the power button. Love that these still have the headphone jack. And no useless gimmicks, no display cutouts. Also still using my 11 year old Sony Vaio laptop as a daily. One of the lightest even today at 2.3lbs. Everything Sony I have bought has been amazing!! 😍
Been using Sony since Xperia Z1 era. Always loved their phones, though price makes it hard to replace often. Last(current) phone is 1 ii, so looks like I'm finally upgrading.
Been a fan too since Sony Ericsson days... however since xperia phones pulled out already here in the Philippines years ago. Had to switch to another brand.
Sony's smartphones are seriously underrated. I hope to one day own one. The number one thing I look at in a smartphone is having the purest Android OS installed on the phone. I don't like smartphones bloated with unnecessary apps taking up room on the phone.
Bring back the 960 fps slowmo in better 2K or 4K quality with a two second burst instead of 0.25 second burst. Also, add end trigger mode for easier slowmotion capture.
It is the at&ts & verizons that add the bloatware as part of their bringing down the prices. SONY has not sold out, but therefore we pay the more expensive cost for the purer andoid.
What do you mean, undervalued? They sell for the price of smartphones with better cameras, and they themselves have cameras somewhere in the thirtieth place. The super wide 16mm is how many years old now? The $200 phones have had it wider for a long time
The last manufacturer, who makes phones with rectangular screens without idiotic cutouts. The last manufacturer, who makes phones narrow enough I can grip and use with one hand. I love fingerprint scanner embedded in power button: I unlock my phone in one finger action. I love front firing ear speaker and loudspeakers. The only manufacturer, who makes phones with SIM-card trays ejectable without any tools. UPD. Update policy for 1VI and 10 VI is great! 3 years of major software updates and 4 years of security patches from Google
I never have any problem with Sony's current software policy. But considering how notoriously durable Sony phones are in long term, longer software support is a welcome move.
Ikr like if I wanted my phone to be a circle just do it then I hate modern apple iPads and iPhones too rounded and all screen, I don’t like a big besil but not all screen either.
It's the best in some aspects and some situations. But still has the typical Sony issues. At least from an enthusiast phone photographer view. Sometimes you want those extra features
So you are leaving Samsung to go to Sony that is now a Samsung clone? Amazing what it takes for people to make a swtich. This is a very disappointing release for Sony. The features that made the phone unique are now gone.
Like which features are gone? I mean Sony copied some of things that worked in Samsung. Makes sense. I don't want Samsung because the apps and ecosystem are a bloat ware, or at least feel like. I'd be happy going back to Sony as well.
@@matt-eu-poland ill answer the question no problem. But first if you wlll be so kind to answer this question. Have you had a Sony Xperia phone before? If you did than you would know what is gone feature wise and replaced for all the pleebs to use because of all the crying. I have had Sony phones since the Xperia 1 mark 2. If you have never had a Sony phone, I will answer your question. It also makes sense why so many are now excited about the Sony phones. They are now just like everyone else. Crap specs with very high price tag.
@@F14Mavrick no, and as much as I would like to have Xperia I'm waiting for a version that has features at least on par with Samsung. I want to have a fingerprint scanner on the screen not on the side. It feels like Sony is a couple years behind unfortunately.
@@matt-eu-poland I hate finger print scanner on the screen. If I had my way I want the finger print scanner on the back of my phone where a pointer finger rests naturally when you pick up a phone. I can unlock my phone as I am picking it up in one swipe. Everyphone I had that had the finger on the screen, I have to pick up the phone and than place my thumb on the screen. Holly crap, why do i have to do so much motion for such a simple thing. To place a thumb on a screen to unlock the phone is uncomfortable. I gave my buddy my mark IV. He at first was complaining about the same thing as you. I told him to kindly close his mouth and use my old mark IV. 4 hours, that is all it took, 4 hours. He tried to go back to his samsung s24. He threw his samsung in the garbage. There also wasn't a single phone that offered an OLED 4k HRD @120HZ screen. If you call that couple years behind, I don't know what to say. Samsung and iPhone is just barely intrudced some nice screen, yet it was still not even close to what Sony offered. I had the only phone that can watch netflix 4k HDR when I was on wifi and you can not beleive how awesome that was. I would be able to cast that to freinds TV's that had 4k HDR. Yup.... if you don't have the screen the netflix app will not offer you up a 4k experience. That is the same for all streaming apps. So good luck now with a FHD+ screen. OH and fyi.... Sony, now is goitng backwards. A FHD+ screen? 2012 is calling and it is laughing at us. The screen aspect is also dated just like any other phone. The 21:9 aspect was a game changer. Does anyone even understand how much more real estate space you have with a taller phone? I absolutely hate the 19.5:9. It is just crap. Every single time I hold a samsung phone, a pixel or a iphone in my hand I want to vomit on how wide those phones are and I have big hands. If I wanted a phone from 2015, I would get this aspect. Split screen now actually meant something on the phone. Well now it is gone... just like any other phone on the market. unified camera app? are we freakin kidding? this phone was about photography experts. You had a plain app and you have a pro app. Each had its place. You NEEDED to know how to take pictures. Now we get one app, and a bunch of auto options. PLEASE STOP!!!! The Mark V was the first one to start offering slight picture corrections on all setting (except full manual). The Mark VI is going to step it up even more. If I wanted a phone that does auto everything I would get an iphone, a pixel or a samsung, Yes can you still set your colors, do you still have a manual mode, a shutter mode, and a aperture mode. Yup, but lets face it, MAJORITY of people are not using those options and to make the phone more appealing to the stupid crowd, SONY is catering to them. What is even worse now with the new phone is that you don't even get that great of a screen and it is still going to cost over 1300 dollars. REALLY!!!!! On the other phone, you could at least justify the higher price just because of the OLED screen. But when you have your competitors giving you a higher res screen at a cheaper price, talk about going backwards. It was this morning i was reading an article how now people are praising SONY for making their phones more sensible. IE... just like everyone else. I get why, Sony xperia line was super niche market and not everyone was getting the phones. But I have lost count how many times people held my phone in there hands and were just immediately impressed. Than the sadness would kick in the moment they would see the price. I get it, I do. But like I said, if I wanted a phone that was just like every other phone on the market, I would have gotten those phone and saved a ton of money. Sony offer something unique and outperformed the competition in every category. Apologize for the really long novel, I did say I would explain after you answer my question. I also apologize if I come off course in some sections, I am just very pissed Sony is going backwards on such an amazing product.
In India there are more xperia fans but sony is not launching mobile in india. We refuse to buy oneplus, oppo, vivo, mi. Now samsung is also started display green line problem. We have no better option to buy mobile in India. So please come back to India we indians are wait sony to launch mobile in India. I have imported xperia 5 iii and using in India. So please come back to India❤
@@arx117Yeah. Like, if you compare purely just the specs, Sony will definitely get bashed big times by Indians since specs & value for money is a big thing for them. Sony phones are very expensive. Sony phones are also great in many areas, but not raw specs. Most Indians care just about specs they get for the money, so it's obvious why Sony pulled out from there. That's also why Chinese phones sell so well in India. Bad build quality, not-so-great software, ads everywhere in the OS, cheap flashy designs, everything that isn't on spec sheet have corners cut, *BUT* they have amazing raw specs for the cheapest price. This is basically the polar opposite of Sony. I do think that they should offer international shops just for true fans though. If I can grab it on eBay why shouldn't I be able to get it without going through a third party.
@@arx117 I think that's enough, I use it every day for work from morning to night and the battery has 20% left. I never carry a charger while working Maybe if it is used for playing games it will be less.
Many are saying Xperia phones are underrated, but honestly, I don't think they are. The problem is how Sony markets their phones, most people today only know Apple, Samsung, and now Google, but those who do know about Xperia know that they are good. Problem number 2 has also been the price.
I agree.I feel that if Sony made their phones more widely available, lowered the prices a bit, and then spent some money to actually market them well then they would sell more phones....
I mostly agree on everything you've said, but the main problem for Sony Xperia are 3 things. 1. availability 2. price 3. manual mode for photo/video is great to have, but most of people just want to click one button
Have been using XZ Premium for 7 years extensively as my one and only unit for mobile communications, as a portable music player, for car navigation and tourist map display. No problems whatsoever, still very quick in response. Sturdy and reliable phone. Battery is on 83 % of its health which is almost unbelieveable after all these years. Heat, freeze, snow, rain, occasional falls - nothing can stop this little gem. This year I am going to buy Xperia 1 Mark VI, my ❤XZP will be retired with great honor..... 👍🙂
i had one too this was a beautifull and snapy phone, if i could buy a new one now for good money id buy it back i still have some noisecanceling wired earbuds that are awesome
Just stick with your Samsung ... Sony has a great camera but not so great for smartphone.. because you still need to toggle the camera settings like a manual camera and overall durability of their product is little .. #coming from an Xperia user .. the Samsung flagships do better !!
@@ogolotammy3041 Agreed. My 1 V is still going strong thankfully but there are so many minor issues that eventually add up. My next phone's probably going to be a Samsung.
@@rarebreedcitizen Notification LED gone last year. 21:9 and 4K (although not so necessary) gone too. SD card and headphone jack going to go next. But we can expect some new features such as rounded display and a punch hole.
@@pakan357 Have you forgotten that Sony removed the 3.5 jack on high-end models in the 2018-2019 period? There were so many complaints from users that Sony had to bring it back from 2020.
I still remember having Sony Ericsson K510, recorded my friend play guitar at night, the image is ok, but the sound, voice, ohh..so smooth and no noice, so clear... Now imagine what today's Sony product can do now...
Give us a new tablet SONY...come on....expand the Xperia brand into more products. And how about new form factors like foldables? Why is your mobile range so sparse?
Probably because their customer base is so sparse tbh. Maybe if Sony's mobile phone marketshare were enough to get them out of the "other" category they would be willing to invest more. I personally would love to see Sony get a stronger foothold, I for one am finally going to switch with the launch of the 1 VI, but I don't think the market agrees with me. Could Sony _afford_ to do it? probably. Would a tablet or smartwatch made by Sony be really cool? probably. Would it be worth it to Sony to invest in those products? Only they can say. Here's to hoping they're willing though.
Muazzam ötesi cihaz sony kullanıcısı olarak yaklaşık 11 yıldır sony Xperia cihazlarım var şuan Xperia xz2 kullanıyorum ve Xperia 5 kullanıyorum memnunum türkiye pazarına geri dönmeli artık özletti Sony Xperia 🇹🇷
Please Sony...more updates years, better automatic camera and full compatibility with instagram pleaseee. This things are very necessary for a expensive phone and professional creators 🙏🏻😩😉
Seriously this phone won't be released in the United States? I've been trying to upgrade from my Galaxy s10+ that is 6 years old and still have a microSD and an aux jack. I've been waiting for the Xperia 1 VI and now Sony is pulling out of the U.S. market? Is this true?
Will 5 also get a VI soon? I'm with the first 5 (before the Roman numerals were added) and looking for an upgrade, however the 1 is a bit too pricey . I remember 1, 5 and 10 realising at the same time ISH
I've been a big fan of Sony since my first Sony Xperia E, Xperia M2 and the A7 series. hope you can come back to Indonesia or at least have an authorized dealer.
I bought my first xperia phone in 2015 when I was in Philippines and it never disappoint me it was so beautiful that it was stolen from my room I miss that phone till now
it will be a great phone....but will barely sell as most people don't even know Sony makes phones, and even if they do know then almost certainly Sony does not sell their phones in their country. As Sony sells their phones in only a small handful of countries.
spot on with your comment . my last Xperia 1III . I had to purchase from Germany as they won't sell in Ireland for some stupid reason. you can't even order from Sony Ireland . but they could be huge in the phone market
@@joesoap7335 I live in Korea and had to purchase my Xperia from Singapore. As you say.....it's ridiculous the countries they don't sell in. Not selling in either Ireland nor Korea makes no sense whatsoever. And as you say.....we can't even buy direct from Sony....
Most people don't buy Sony since they don't have them at AT&T and others since they aren't sell outs to getting more Bloatware on their phones besides what makes it run
Same with me, i will stick with my 1V till the VII comes. Only differences i see is greater zoom, aspect ratio change and a screen downgrade. The software features , I am sure we will get in the future updates. I really wish they add the Exmor sensors to telephoto and ultra wide lenses too instead of extending zoom range.e
I also have the 1 V. I decided to tap out after this one. Not because I'm disappointed in Sony, but, because as much as I like them, I can't keep affording their $1,000+ phones. I decided the V would be my last (at least for now), knowing not much has changed with the VI gives me the peace of mind that I'm not missing out and ended on a good one Thinking of the Google Pixel or the Nothing Phone when I am ready to upgrade again
I would've loved to see more years of software update support and that being emphasized. Not sure abut ditching the 21:9 aspect ratio.. I like the idea of a bit more slender and more easily handleable phone.
I have still been using the Xperia XZ2 Premium since 2018, really the best purchase I have made, good manufacturing quality and durability. Not to mention that with the camera I can continue taking incredible photos. 😁 Greetings form Bolivia .
Do you know that 21:9 aspect ratio let you see more at once!!!??? Focus on the difference between 21 and 19.5!!! It same for the second number but different for the first! 21:9 Vs 19.5:9
The only phones I've ever owned: Xperia Z3, XZ Premium, and now the X1iii. Extremely disappointed the X1vi isn't available in the US. Was planning on getting one. Please make it available!
Actually if you bothered to pay any attention neither the battery nor the camera are the same at all. Not sure how you arrived at that conclusion. They clearly state it's a different battery technology. More dense. And that coupled with a lower energy eating display will give about 2 days battery life. mAh are not the only thing that matters in a battery. I could also point out how the camera is actually quite different (not to mention a single incorporated camera app now) but clearly you just ignored all the clearly stated information.
19,5:9? Not in the slightest. In many hands 19,5:9 is just a big chunk, nothing more and nothing less. Those 21:9 6,5“ screen were just perfect. Hopefully at least the Pro-Series will keep this aspect-ratio what Sony used to be known for…
@@I-Yuzuki-Iexcept that all other manufacturers use that aspect ratio. Do you see many other making phones with a 21.9 aspect ratio? There's a reason for that. Same goes for a 4K screen. Neither feature was helping Sony sell more phones now was it? If Sony doesn't move more towards the mainstream and start trying to actually sell more phones that have broader appeal then Xperia will cease to exist.
@@Sabundy sometimes companies have to find their niche to thrive, that's what sony tried. The mainstream is very saturated and I believe that Sony has to stand out with features like the 21:9 screen without rounded corners!, cameras and a headphone jack
@@namenloserflo except....it's not working. There are recent reports that Xperia sales are tanking in Japan. Stop and think about that. Sony can't even successfully sell phones in its home market. So how will they do so elsewhere? So how has that niche worked out for Sony? Clearly it's not working otherwise they would be selling more phones. Where Sony needs to stand out is in the user experience, the services and apps, and the cameras. The vast majority of people don't care about 4K on a phone or a 21.9 aspect ratio. They care about the user experience. Ease of use. Useful apps and services. A good camera that works easily etc.....and if Sony doesn't address those issues and start to make phones that appeal to more people then Xperia may end up going out of business.
@@I-Yuzuki-I But it's the only way to lower the price and have LTPO and more brightness. Making a 21:9 4K screen with the same features will just kill xperia
I've been using Sony since Sony Ericsson days :) (2001)! Looking forward to this for sure! Wonderful as always, thank you for listening to your fans and keeping the headphone jack as well as the micro SD card slot :) the HD display should be amazing in the sun! Can't wait to get my hands on it!

That's also why Chinese phones sell so well in India. Bad build quality, not-so-great software, ads everywhere in the OS, cheap flashy designs, everything that isn't on spec sheet have corners cut, *BUT* they have amazing raw specs for the cheapest price.
This is basically the polar opposite of Sony.
I do think that they should offer international shops just for true fans though.
If I can grab it on eBay why shouldn't I be able to get it without going through a third party.
I'm still using xperia 1 since 2019

But Xperia 1 battery is too small. You need 5000 mah today

I think that's enough, I use it every day for work from morning to night and the battery has 20% left. I never carry a charger while working
Maybe if it is used for playing games it will be less.

Many are saying Xperia phones are underrated, but honestly, I don't think they are. The problem is how Sony markets their phones, most people today only know Apple, Samsung, and now Google, but those who do know about Xperia know that they are good. Problem number 2 has also been the price.
I agree.I feel that if Sony made their phones more widely available, lowered the prices a bit, and then spent some money to actually market them well then they would sell more phones....
FACTS!
Apple and google made in China so better dont buy. Only Samsung and Sony
I mostly agree on everything you've said, but the main problem for Sony Xperia are 3 things.
1. availability
2. price
3. manual mode for photo/video is great to have, but most of people just want to click one button
Others : Just do it
Sony : Just did it

Loyal Sony fan since 2003, and once again will be spoiled with the best phone on the market! Thank you!
L, their phones not were the best, almost never.
This is a bad "upgrade"...
What a cringe
Not the best far from it
Remember kids
Sony makes the cameras of your iPhones
This Xperia phone sounds so promising and a huge upgrade from my Xperia 1 III, so excited for this!
Still using the Xperia 5, and still have a great battery life for an old and compact phone.
Have been using XZ Premium for 7 years extensively as my one and only unit for mobile communications, as a portable music player, for car navigation and tourist map display. No problems whatsoever, still very quick in response. Sturdy and reliable phone. Battery is on 83 % of its health which is almost unbelieveable after all these years. Heat, freeze, snow, rain, occasional falls - nothing can stop this little gem. This year I am going to buy Xperia 1 Mark VI, my ❤XZP will be retired with great honor..... 👍🙂
My XZp had to be retired because the carrier I had to switch to in the US needed it to be a 5G phone. I cant wait for this!
i had one too this was a beautifull and snapy phone, if i could buy a new one now for good money id buy it back i still have some noisecanceling wired earbuds that are awesome
I also still use my Xperia XZ premium and it's fantastic.Along with my Xperia 1II...👍🏻💪🏻
The fact that they have completely omitted screen resolution is kind of suspect 🤔
Mine died late last year after almost 6.5 years of service, been rocking the 1V since. No regrets.
今回､買おうと思ってる。
今使ってるXZ1からどれだけの進化を感じれるか楽しみ。
物持ちすご
It's a 1080p display
Tired of samsung and all other droid phones.. hate apples ecosystem and overpricing.. imma try this one.. no regrets if this is cheeks.. haha
Sony doesn't care about their customers unlike Apple and Samsung. Buyer beware. Good phones though.
Sony's phones are overpriced too though
Just stick with your Samsung ... Sony has a great camera but not so great for smartphone.. because you still need to toggle the camera settings like a manual camera and overall durability of their product is little .. #coming from an Xperia user .. the Samsung flagships do better !!
@@ogolotammy3041 Agreed. My 1 V is still going strong thankfully but there are so many minor issues that eventually add up. My next phone's probably going to be a Samsung.
Sony xperia is the most expensive than samsung and iphones while the screen size style are so thin unlike others not deserve to buy

Losing unique features year after year to conform with other brands era.
@@pakan357 chill. 21:9 is not the only reason Xperia smartphones are unique
@@rarebreedcitizen Notification LED gone last year. 21:9 and 4K (although not so necessary) gone too. SD card and headphone jack going to go next. But we can expect some new features such as rounded display and a punch hole.
@@pakan357 If the SD card and headphone jack go away, I will be daily-driving a linux phone.
@@pakan357 Have you forgotten that Sony removed the 3.5 jack on high-end models in the 2018-2019 period? There were so many complaints from users that Sony had to bring it back from 2020.

Give us a new tablet SONY...come on....expand the Xperia brand into more products. And how about new form factors like foldables? Why is your mobile range so sparse?
Smartwatch
@@stevechannel6856 among many things.
🤗
Probably because their customer base is so sparse tbh. Maybe if Sony's mobile phone marketshare were enough to get them out of the "other" category they would be willing to invest more. I personally would love to see Sony get a stronger foothold, I for one am finally going to switch with the launch of the 1 VI, but I don't think the market agrees with me. Could Sony _afford_ to do it? probably. Would a tablet or smartwatch made by Sony be really cool? probably. Would it be worth it to Sony to invest in those products? Only they can say. Here's to hoping they're willing though.
I think they are the one who sell some parts also in other brands 🤔 thats why they dont bother to compete with others
Where is the gaming section video for this device!!!???
Muazzam ötesi cihaz sony kullanıcısı olarak yaklaşık 11 yıldır sony Xperia cihazlarım var şuan Xperia xz2 kullanıyorum ve Xperia 5 kullanıyorum memnunum türkiye pazarına geri dönmeli artık özletti Sony Xperia 🇹🇷

Please Sony...more updates years, better automatic camera and full compatibility with instagram pleaseee. This things are very necessary for a expensive phone and professional creators 🙏🏻😩😉
Just got my Xperia 1v a week ago and happy with it.
1080p on 1vi😂😂😂😂
@@Ayannomadic They went full retard there. But it's actually 2.7K as 1080p is usually referred to as 2K or 1.9K for 16:9.
@@Ayannomadic yep thinking of buying the 1 v instead and save some money instead of downgrading for 1080p screen and no 21:9
Still using OG Xperia 1 (2019). No 4k and no 21:9 aspect ratio means I'll just upgrade to 1 V.
Seriously this phone won't be released in the United States? I've been trying to upgrade from my Galaxy s10+ that is 6 years old and still have a microSD and an aux jack. I've been waiting for the Xperia 1 VI and now Sony is pulling out of the U.S. market? Is this true?
Yes gonna trade my s23 ultra for this
Love from kerala, india. Keep going. Make your devices available in more regions
Exactly. They need to expand the countries they sell in
また、タブレットに参戦してくれないか?
出てほしいよね😊
Yes!!!.....SONY needs a new tablet!
Will 5 also get a VI soon? I'm with the first 5 (before the Roman numerals were added) and looking for an upgrade, however the 1 is a bit too pricey . I remember 1, 5 and 10 realising at the same time ISH
I've been a big fan of Sony since my first Sony Xperia E, Xperia M2 and the A7 series. hope you can come back to Indonesia or at least have an authorized dealer.
Not even QHD+ screen. What is going on? Sony doing cost cutting?
The girl at the 10 minute mark, she has a really awesome look !!!!!
Supermodel right there.
I love my Xperia 1V. I just wish if it had longer software support.
You are already lucky..ask the pro-i owners.
Rumours saying that the microSD slot or headphone jack could be missing have clearly wrong. Thanks Sony
I bought my first xperia phone in 2015 when I was in Philippines and it never disappoint me it was so beautiful that it was stolen from my room I miss that phone till now
Xperia 1 VI
why are you so sure it will be 1 VI? there was no number VI/6 in entire Xperia franchise history, that is 15 years long
@@higashi_keiko is that sarcasm? wtf?
This phone will be a winner
it will be a great phone....but will barely sell as most people don't even know Sony makes phones, and even if they do know then almost certainly Sony does not sell their phones in their country. As Sony sells their phones in only a small handful of countries.
spot on with your comment . my last Xperia 1III . I had to purchase from Germany as they won't sell in Ireland for some stupid reason. you can't even order from Sony Ireland . but they could be huge in the phone market
@@joesoap7335 I live in Korea and had to purchase my Xperia from Singapore. As you say.....it's ridiculous the countries they don't sell in. Not selling in either Ireland nor Korea makes no sense whatsoever. And as you say.....we can't even buy direct from Sony....
@@joesoap7335Harvey Norman have Sony phones. Got my 5iv from them.
Most people don't buy Sony since they don't have them at AT&T and others since they aren't sell outs to getting more Bloatware on their phones besides what makes it run
I am still very happy with my Xperia 1 V i don't think to upgrade to this one
There's only 2 thing was changed
Snapdragon 8 gen 3 and screen ratio. Other will be same
12 GB RAM
512 GB storage
Same with me, i will stick with my 1V till the VII comes. Only differences i see is greater zoom, aspect ratio change and a screen downgrade. The software features , I am sure we will get in the future updates. I really wish they add the Exmor sensors to telephoto and ultra wide lenses too instead of extending zoom range.e
And oh, they should bring the SD card slot too.
I also have the 1 V. I decided to tap out after this one. Not because I'm disappointed in Sony, but, because as much as I like them, I can't keep affording their $1,000+ phones. I decided the V would be my last (at least for now), knowing not much has changed with the VI gives me the peace of mind that I'm not missing out and ended on a good one
Thinking of the Google Pixel or the Nothing Phone when I am ready to upgrade again
For the quality its a big no. Its just over rated. When you lose the quality when zoming it is wrong to compare it with the 1v.
Please bring your phones back ro Australia 😢
Rocking an Xperia 5ii and love it. Keen to upgrade to the 1vi, but no local support doesn't help..
Sony Xperia 1 VII with 16gb ram next year please? I would instantly buy it!
If this is a nice package I'll definitely upgrade from my Xperia 5!
I'm ok with no 4k screen, but dropping 21:9 was such a sad news. 21:9 is the reason why i love Xperia 1/5 series since the mark I.
Hoping the 1 V gets cheaper once the 1 VI is released, love how they keep the headphone jack, perfect for my headphone collection
Price doesn't matter, quality is all I care about
@@xicorescalante2854yeah the quality is beautiful with these
I would've loved to see more years of software update support and that being emphasized. Not sure abut ditching the 21:9 aspect ratio.. I like the idea of a bit more slender and more easily handleable phone.
Is this in the UK only? There is no information on the US site.
So excited 😊
❤ super We are waiting
Going to miss 21:9 and slim body. So comfortable to hold with one hand.
Still too tall to reach the top with your thumb - hoping a 19.5:9 5 VI will fix that one problem.
Thank you for the 3.5mm jack, I will now buy your product.
I have still been using the Xperia XZ2 Premium since 2018, really the best purchase I have made, good manufacturing quality and durability.
Not to mention that with the camera I can continue taking incredible photos. 😁
Greetings form Bolivia .
So excited.. and i hope it's 7 years software updates (including 1 V too)
8

Nah your prob getting 3 if your lucky
3 or 4 at least. All Japanesse Phone Except Sony Has 3 Years Update Major and 5 Years Security Update, Like Sharp and Fujitsu.
No way ur getting 7, atleast 4. After that, switch to lineageos ROM.
RIP 21:9...You'll be missed Proud Xperia 5 III user :)
thinking of getting the 1 v instead just because of that reason. Its a bummer that they got rid of it. 4k movies looks insane on the phone.
I'm still using my xz premium .😂
I will wait for reviews and possibly purchase this one.
Amazing upgrade, will definitely consider this as my next phone. Who is the voice over artist btw?
Do you know that 21:9 aspect ratio let you see more at once!!!??? Focus on the difference between 21 and 19.5!!! It same for the second number but different for the first! 21:9 Vs 19.5:9

what about years of support?
I love the 21:9 Display Format, please have a longer update support
Leaked already shown no 21:9 display but instead 19:6
Why no US release?
you do not deserve it
Cool. Same 5000mah battery with same slow charging as previous models. same camera but without the 4K resolution screen. can't wait to pay £1300.
Actually if you bothered to pay any attention neither the battery nor the camera are the same at all. Not sure how you arrived at that conclusion. They clearly state it's a different battery technology. More dense. And that coupled with a lower energy eating display will give about 2 days battery life. mAh are not the only thing that matters in a battery. I could also point out how the camera is actually quite different (not to mention a single incorporated camera app now) but clearly you just ignored all the clearly stated information.
I am sitll using my Xperia 1 from 2019 :) and it works perfect cheers
19.5:9 Vs 21:9? What you will choose? And why? Please give reasons 🙏
Still waiting on the pro video camera app. Where is it Sony? Fall 2024 is one month down and only 2 left! 🇸🇪🤔
Sony master of electronics
RIP 21:9
Don't give up yet. Based on the promo video, the shape of the phone looks like 21:9 aspect ratio.

The new screen aspect ratio is perfect! 🎉
19,5:9?
Not in the slightest.
In many hands 19,5:9 is just a big chunk, nothing more and nothing less.
Those 21:9 6,5“ screen were just perfect.
Hopefully at least the Pro-Series will keep this aspect-ratio what Sony used to be known for…
@@I-Yuzuki-Iexcept that all other manufacturers use that aspect ratio. Do you see many other making phones with a 21.9 aspect ratio? There's a reason for that. Same goes for a 4K screen. Neither feature was helping Sony sell more phones now was it? If Sony doesn't move more towards the mainstream and start trying to actually sell more phones that have broader appeal then Xperia will cease to exist.
@@Sabundy sometimes companies have to find their niche to thrive, that's what sony tried. The mainstream is very saturated and I believe that Sony has to stand out with features like the 21:9 screen without rounded corners!, cameras and a headphone jack
@@namenloserflo except....it's not working. There are recent reports that Xperia sales are tanking in Japan. Stop and think about that. Sony can't even successfully sell phones in its home market. So how will they do so elsewhere? So how has that niche worked out for Sony? Clearly it's not working otherwise they would be selling more phones. Where Sony needs to stand out is in the user experience, the services and apps, and the cameras. The vast majority of people don't care about 4K on a phone or a 21.9 aspect ratio. They care about the user experience. Ease of use. Useful apps and services. A good camera that works easily etc.....and if Sony doesn't address those issues and start to make phones that appeal to more people then Xperia may end up going out of business.
@@I-Yuzuki-I But it's the only way to lower the price and have LTPO and more brightness. Making a 21:9 4K screen with the same features will just kill xperia
