1) Please compare the DAC between the V and VI and see if there is an actual improvement. No reviewer has done that 2) How much better is the Macro mode in the VI compared to just taking a close up shot from the main camera and cropping on the V. 3) Does the new screen downgrade really improve the battery life significantly 4) Any difference in network connectivity in the imported VI compared to the US variant V 5) Does it get hot to the touch while using the camera. My V gets hot when I use the camera. Is the new vapour chamber helping to dissipate heat? 6) Is the flash on the new VI better and brighter than the V

nice one, I like how you got the official case with this new era of Xperia.

Yeah loving my Sony Xperia 1 mark VI since 2024-06-10. Since then I have been removing myself from the Apple iPhone 15 pro max "ecosystem" day by day. I am like 90% converted to Android. Oh yeah, thank you Sony for this beast! Keep the Sony Xperia 1 mark VI content coming. Thanks beforehand 🇸🇪🖖

That's a great looking device and that's a awesome looking case

I saw it when I was in Taiwan. Beautiful device

Flossy Carter: "Sony, f**king Sony". 😂😂😂

Can you review the network,did it work in usa?

3 weeks using this elegant beast pro real pro battery is awesome 💯 and camera is amazing DSLR quality ❤

That's beautiful. Thank you for showing us. Can't wait for the comparison!

Adam, glad to see you managed to get your hands on it in US! So far I have totally mixed feelings about new Xperia. Since 3 days I'm using it in same time with Galaxy s24U. Positives so far are insane battery life and form factor on plus of Xperia. Photo quality is similar, Xperia is often oversharpening compare to Ultra (strange isn't it?). Sometimes Xperia is taking better sometimes Ultra. In terms of video Galaxy is more reliable and recording with better quality. System has sierd LAG whoch appers when it is changing refresh rate. It is annoying as impacting this OS smoothness, specially while typing...at the moment I'm in position that in my opinion s24U is much better option as whole package.

Thank you very much for the video. Mine has just arrived a few hours ago. I haven’t unboxed it yet. Lunch. gonna do it soon.:]

WOW 👑SONY GOD FOREVER 🥇✌️👑

God love the headphone jack and sd card slot Also red is exclusive to japan by ntt and available only in 512gb

COME BACK TO THE US

Please compare the DAC with quad DAC in the LG v60 and also a pixel camera comparison

Well I'm glad you were able to find one because resources as you predicted appear to be very scarce. Can't wait to see some comparisons between the Xperia Mark V. Mostly the cameras, the displays, and network coverage and reception.

I can't wait to see your review and glad that you managed to get it in the US before your trip as well 😆 Can you please notice if it gets warm/hot when using the camera or gaming? Does it contain pre-installed apps that can be moved if they are? Are the photos and videos stored in Google Photos or there's the Album app? Enjoy your trip in NY 👍🏻

Please do a video about carriers. What works and don't works with different carriers.

This is dope

Looks sleek

Please let's know if the 1080p screen is any better than the 4k Screen, would love a display comparison with a Samsung s24 or other flagship phones

Do you get 5g with it ?

The big question for me is the connectivity in the USA.

I was waiting for that.... As photographer I just want know if there is different in screen.. special when u try zoom for details in photos taking by camera

IDk why many people hate thick bezels.. but for me i really like it. it feels classic

😍😍😍

Does the phone support video output through the USB port? I want to see if you can connect something like a n HDMI cable to USB cable to connect to the TV. I plan on having this phone as a emulation machine and wanted to know if it has this feature. Also does it support android auto and smartwatches. I believe some import phones like the Vivo x Fold 3 pro does not support android and smart watches. Awesome video, keep it up!

Have you noticed any lag/stuttering when opening folders or scrolling? Mine does that when throttling from 15 to 120hz all the time.... Nice videos!!

Please make a display comparison video between mark 5 & mark 6. Let us know how bright the new display and how full hd plus stand up with previous 4k...

I hope you give more details about device. Hopefully you will do so give us inside advice in wanting to purchase the phone.

I loved my Sony phones when they were in the American market. It’s sad that they didn’t do well in our market.

Where did you order it from? I have verizon so im trying to snag one

How is it on Verizon? Compared to the 1 V with the missing spectrum bands?

It sucks that Sony isn't making the phone available for the US this year. I hope they don't make this a normal thing and I hope they start giving trade-in value for their devices. Because as a high end flagship device it sucks for people who want to trade up and literally can't trade-in the device for any credit. Selling is always a option but then you're subject to possibly having multiple devices even if you don't want too.

Mine’s getting shipped at the end of this month! 😊

That happened to me as well. I was going on a trip and I wanted my S24U and I was on the plane by the time it arrived.

Can't wait to hear your impressions, kinda bummed they went with a wider form factor, it was one of the few things that distinguished them from other phones.

Got mine on Amazon had since the 16th

I'm happy you got a hold of the new phone! I think they didnt bring it to the US because they want to see how it does in other territories, since they might have a bigger market there. Instead of gambling on the US.

Not sure how I feel about the back of the genuine case has that bump at the bottom where the kickstand lives. How does it feel in the hand ? Is it a weird feel with that bump ?

This is my next phone definitely... If i have this and a pixel phone i will be just fine for the next 5yrs... But i will pich a pixel 10 since its com8ng with a silicon fabbed by TSMC

Can you please cover connectivity issue. I have a 1v and works great with T-Mobile and AT&T 5g bands included. Does the international 6 work with 5g and what service are you using? Thanks I love your reviews.

has the pocket mode+proximity sensor issue been fixed? I have a IV and the experience with it was a nightmare, the screen always activates while in pocket (yes, double tap to wake screen on but I always had it on my previous phones with 0 issues) messing with the quick settings and emergency calls menu etc.

Is this only released under GSM networks?

Hey there Is there any face recognition opinion? Face unlock maybe in smart things options? Notification led? Do you know any apps or tips to have these if they're not built in originally? Waiting for the reviews 😊 Greetings from Hungary

Hello! Thank you for this video, can you address the connectivity with US cellular, particularly with Verizon? Many forums state it's not compatible or doesn't work properly. Thank you!

I'm not feeling Sony in general I've always had problems with them anyway cool post

I guess it’s just too tough to be in the USA market when the phone success is at the mercy of carriers. Most US customer still only buy phones from carriers, right?

My only doubt is if it took up the notification LED that we have in almost all the other previous _Xperia_ and in the _Xperia _*_1V_* they removed and I ignore the reason.

that is so beautiful sleek Sony case, but it is freaking expensive here in Finland, its the same price as S24 Ultra.

Looks great, but how is Sony's android software support history?

i was wondering how it would look and fit with the spigen case XD

Does this one actually have Wi-Fi calling enabled?

Good videos. I would like to know can it handle 5G on T-Mobile?

Buddy how did your new Mark VI come with a glass screen protector applied?

I got one also came with no charger where's the charger 🔨😝 how you charge it

Can't wait to see your review. The phone looks good. I still prefer the 21:9 ratio but the difference is not a deal breaker.

Which one do you think is more comfortable in your hand 1 V or 1 VI ? In my opinion 1 V is more comfortable thanks to 21:9

So Sony will not be offering this phone in the US?

I'm happy to see that Sony sticks to the punch hole free screen. It makes the phone slightly longer but as the screen got wider and less tall it's more than fine to compensate for the extra top and bottom bezels, much better than with the 21:9 screens. Looks nice but I always liked the Sony phones except for their silly aspect ratios. I would love to see the same thing happening to the Xperia 10 series. A wider 19,5:9 ratio in a more affordable package.

They went from 4k display to 1080p. How does that make any sense? 4k is overkill but how about 2k?

Does the Google Wallet to pay for stuff work in the US being that it's from overseas ?

🎉

WTF !?! We EU ppl didnt get that case :O

Don't you think that red colour would be nice for a first few weeks, but then it will be too bright, too distractive? 🤔

ohh theres holes for u to add wrist thingy...

No clue how Sony make FHD+ 1 VI even sharper than 2K of 1 V...I guess the 1 V had compressed too over, but the FHD+ texture in the image is not very smooth due to low density, hope they solved it in next gen.

The problem with importing is it's never going to have to proper US bands...especially on the 5G side. :(

You didn't show strap that Sony case has.

I am going to subscribe because I had decided this was my next phone, and I am going to have a lot questions. Please let us know about your experience importing this phone.

Does it have any overheating issues?

I have had this phone for about a month Battery life is amazing The speakers are also amazing

Does it work on all T-Mobile 5G network bands?

No thanks. Fingers crossed for a Xperia pro update. Not looking for an update to the pro-i ... The actual pro from 4 years ago

2 things that I got disappointed from the iV is the camera, should have been a serious upgrade from the iV, and they should have keep the camera pro from the mark V, i see that in mark VI the camera app is totally same as iPhone and samsung😢😢😢😢

Since Sony isn't releasing this in the US, what phone would you suggest as an alternative to the Sony Xperia line?

Sony ❤❤❤

Will this phone only work on tmobile?

Gaps on the wall always been uneven

1080p vs 4k and dac vs dac

Will this work with US carriers? ATT or Verizon

Do you sell any of your phones??

This is the first Sony phone that I won't buy since 2019 :/

The 1080p decision just blows my mind. Especially at that size. How can anyone want this

Never available in the US? Non-starter for me and 99.5% of other Americans. And to think you thought it was bad that they didn't sell these at Best Buy. Not worth currency conversion and potentially weeks of waiting for shipment. RIP Sony Xperia.

Sony fumbling the bag for not releasing in the US. They're not even trying anymore.

😮😮😮❤❤❤❤😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉🎉

I wish Sony phones could run Google OS

Sony....fucking Sony with the smallest box in the whole world. They're not messing around, they give you as close to nothing as possible

WELCOME TO THE DARK SIDE AGAIN! 😂😂😂😂😂

Fkng Sony what's that for a cheap unboxing.. Then again boring black that looks the same as a 5yr old version.. Can't believe some people buying that😂😂😂😂

I will skip this phone, nothing special about😅

The Sony case is ugly, sorry.. also, I think the S24 + is a better buy. The way Sony have gone is worse than the other big fish. The presentation box has no effort whatsoever, which is just trash for what they're charging. Look at it. Cheap trash is an understatement! No charger, great, and no 2k screen is not good. Can't believe how many sheep are settling for a mediocre 1080p. The difference is very noticeable in the display especially when watching 1440p content. Pictures and videos look nicer to look at with more pixels. Why are some accepting this backwards approach lol? Mental beyond belief.

That's a good looking device.
