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.

This phone design so sleek and looks premium.

Man that looks lovely in that platinum , nice 1 my good man

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.

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!

Best honest review so far

Thank you for the vid, any further videos with pictures, battery etc would be great

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.

Great short review. Congratulations

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.

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.

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.

Portrait & macro photography ❤❤

i love videos like these thank you algorithm..

Drop 4k for better battery is a good exchange i take it 💯

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.

It looks gorgeous omg😮

Thanks, I’m getting mine today or tomorrow. Greetings from Sicily, Italy.

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! 💪

Thnx for the honest review , keep us posted about camera options

Those macro photos that you took are INCREDIBLE

Thats just amazing photography, I know camera is great in these phones but your skills are great too.

I've seen that comment you mentioned. Can't wait to get mine! It ships 6 June in EU.

Looks great. What’s the 3.5mm audio out like compared to the 1 v?

Sony still having those natural look photos

ordered mine. it was couple hours on Amazon UK when price was £1083. including headphones. can't wait to get it

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.

GUYS. I PREORDERED MY KAKI GREEN 1 VI OMGGGGGG

great video ! can you do a comparaison with the s24 Ultra (design and operation system) and tell us which one you prefer to use ? thanks

It looks really good in silver. Thats definitely the colour i am going to get.

Thanks for the upload

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.

Definitely gonna get this one!

The photos look amazing! What's the typing experience like compared to Pixel? I think with a brown leather case, this woud look vintage trad excellence. Love it.

Man u all r soo lucky to get this , it's not even out here in INDIA

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!

Liked. Xperia❤

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.

Did You got free headphones on preorder?

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 KZfaq since I can't really have it.

Where did you order from

I am jealous bro... Enjoy cheers...

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.

As a very happy Pixel 8 Pro owner, as much as I can appreciate the smart AI features and performance Google puts into their phones I would definitely love to have a phone that brings awesome photos through actual hardware capabilities. If ever my finances allow for it I'd love a Sony phone.

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 ?

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

pretty device ❤❤

Gracias por mostrarlo la única desventaja que le veo es la disponibilidad y el precio alto

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.

Can't wait for mine to come in. Got my 1TBsd card, spigen case, screen protectors waiting for it.

Are you able to enable visual voicemail? Are you able to enable the Google Pixel Call Screening feature?

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 😊

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.

Great video beautiful phone👍👍is there a case available for this phone?? Does this phone get hot playing games??Love Sony products. Trying to decide I phone 16 pro max or Sony

So cool🎉

Great video, question, where did you order it from?

I thought these were only coming out in the UK? I'm in the US too. Where did you get yours?

Great phone 🔥🔥🔥

How is your 5G connection?

what make of 1tb card did you go with thanks

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?

1080p is the best for me. I don’t need unnecessary overkill specs that will just drain my battery faster

I ordered it 👍

Have you had any issues with 1 VI? I just bought it and I'm experiencing already two:(. Something seems to be too loose within the phone, it just moves every time I move the phone - even lightly. The second is the noise generated by camera, and I don't mean the noise of changing the lenses, but this kind of "white noise" that last all the time while using camera app. A sound similar to catching radio waves by a speaker. Have you experienced anything close to these?

What carrier are you using this on? How is the reception with the limited bands?

Thanks for your video indeed,is this international model supports AT&T or which Network are you usinh in US?

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.

My concern and why i got rid of my 1V was due to the Bluetooth bug that happened with Android 14. Wondering if that has been fixed. Since i think it's on the same version

Nice to hear it's so awesome. But you're saying in USA? I heard, that the phone wasn't going to be available for purchase in the USA at all??

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

im in the process of getting a update video with some questions answered

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.

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.

Lol 3rd party seller have it ready to ship here in Canada and red version is hot as f

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

This my best phone 🙌

Does it come with any screen protector film? Did you put a screen protector yourself?

Does it have a notification light? Nice review!!! 👌

What is your software patch buddy? Is it up to date ie may or is it lagging behind

How much is in the USA?

I thought it's not available in the US! I really wanna get it. How did you get it?

How's the signal? I'm worried about the proper 5G bands in the US since a specific US variant wasn't created.

❤❤❤❤

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 😄👍🏼

Great video! Can you tell me or send me the link on where you get the phone to have it on the USA? Also does it work with Android Auto and smart watches?

Hi which theme is using on this model! I have Sony Xperia IV the previous model, and I like your wallpaper and the theme also the icons on your phone! If possible pls tell me I want to try this one! I don’t like the stock android one

Might upgrade from the 1ii to this one.

❤❤❤

I want this phone so bad. It looks amazing.

Wait, so you're in the states and ordered it through the UK? I was told it doesn't have a majority of the bands for carriers in the US. What service do you have? I really didn't want to go without a Sony when my 1 III dies. I've been using only Sony since 2002. I'm spoiled by their UI. It's unlike any other phone.

While phone revowers show their thoughts about the phone, My man in hes gaming chair did it 10 times better, Nicely done review bro!

nice bro

i was not concerned about 1080p but about those bezels

Where did you order and does it work on T-mobile?

Great review brother 🔥🔥🔥, where did you order yours?

FINALLY, they made a phone with less side bezels than the Xperia XA2

Which carrier are you on? I’m also getting a 1vi but I don’t think att will work.

Where did you buy it from? I just ordered on Amazon, from NGP store USA. I have not received yet.

How did you get one? I thought they weren't selling them in the US.

I pre ordered mine 10 days ago, still have to wait until June 3d until it ships :/
