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.

Here's a tip: It isn't.

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

Good luck iPhone user, hope you won’t regret it

Please learn English first.

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.

I Don't think Sony will sold it official in India. The price is too high for mainstream indian

I will

Sony should launch this in India also

I'm using xperia 1 ii. Exited with 1 vi release even though it's not affordable for me 😂

​​​@@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.

Even with cars

Koreans 🇰🇷 and Chinese 🇨🇳 have more braincells now

I wish they produced it in Japan, not in China

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.

But Sony rid LED notification. i use it daily for my works......

@@arx117 It a loss, maybe AOD feature compensates it

I have Xperia 1 and never had s notification led only for charging

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.

What makes you feel sony is different? I use them ..but I wish they do better in this new 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

Huh? Why pay twice as much for 10-20% better? They need to focus on camera capabilities not processor/screen.

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

With 2 inch bazzel

​@@avais4428 practicality matters.,I can still watch media content without notch,

Me three. Might upgrade to 1 V if the 1 VI loses 21:9 and 4k screen

congratulations i am on my Xperia 1 from 2019 :) and use it every day

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

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

@@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 and then the notchless display will go. i don't understand what the need to do this is. those who want short and wide phones with a hole punch and no sd card slot or headphone jack already have so many options. why are they giving feedback and why is their feedback being considered? even the Zenfone got screwed and what a shit phone Asus has released this time (Zenfone 11 ultra). Their CEO was saying in the launch event that they heard the people's feedback! Wtf?! Our feedback was to keep the Zenfone small, not make it an ugly brick like every other brand! I've lost all remaining interest in smartphones now.

@@pakan357 If the SD card and headphone jack go away, I will be daily-driving a linux phone.

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

Huawei pura 70 ultra

That sounds awesome 👍😎

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

出てほしいよね😊

Yes!!!.....SONY needs a new tablet!

Yessss

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.

Supermodel right there.

You are already lucky..ask the pro-i owners.

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

Don't give up yet. Based on the promo video, the shape of the phone looks like 21:9 aspect ratio.

If not 21:9, Sony will make the Xperia fit for IMAX sixe format movies. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

​@@chuahhockleong9916 the entire phone already leaked days ago. It's not 21:9

Hope it's not 21:9

​@@chuahhockleong9916does not look like 21:9 at all

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

@@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

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

Still too tall to reach the top with your thumb - hoping a 19.5:9 5 VI will fix that one problem.
