I'm using my Xperia 1V on T-Mobile USA. As long as the SIM card fits into the slot it should work unless theres some sort of white or blacklisting involved.
Camera button was on sony phones since early 2000s, still in sony ericsson era. I had K700 with it, a phone from 2004. Funny to think apple is 20 years late :D
I've used an Xperia 1 III and currently used a 1 V. The V failed in software after the Android 14 update. The ambient light sensor on the lock screen is still messed up to this day. The always-on display goes full-bright in the dark. It also tends to freeze up after running for a few weeks, which was not the case on Android 13. The VI reportedly fixed this, but V owners were left behind. Sony decided not to support US carriers at all with the VI, or even sell it directly to the US market. Between that, the drop in screen resolution, and the stagnant design (same screen for the III, IV, and V), it's really hard to compete against similarly priced phones in the US. Not making a joke here: It's difficult to find a phone that is narrow enough to operate comfortably with one hand these days. Even harder to find one with an SD card slot. "Small" phones have screens at/over 6". That's not small. Xperias are more narrow than many, but are so tall that you can barely reach over half way up the screen with a thumb. Now that Sony phones are not easily available/usable in the US, we're at the mercy of manufacturers that are deadlocked in a race to make foldable tablets and sell them as phones. Maybe Sony will come back...
For me I like it how it is ..... Bad marketing.. not lot buy it ... That how the price going down so fast.. make it easy to get one after just 3 months more than 20% will save 😅 and 40% when I sell previous one ... And work 👍🏻 done ... Buying new one with almost 40% ... I don't care what others think about....
I have an Xperia 10II running SailfishOS, never used under Android. SailfishOS is free to download/install, there is also a paid version. The free version does NOT have Android Support or Predictive Text.
Speaking as an Xperia 5 Mark IV owner, I have to say: the abysmal pocket detection probably doesn't help. Plenty of smart phones got that down ten years ago, and yet at least this one doesn't. (I also kind of assume they don't sell well anywhere else, especially Japan, but I don't have firsthand experience with that, unlike the terrible pocket detection.)
I used to have a z5 compact for all of a week before it fell and broke. The screen broke and stopped working. It only fell a foot. I was heartbroken. But what I remember was while the size and camera were good, the battery life was terrible.
I used to loved the xperias but I cannot buy it in my country any longer so I buy an iPhone xr back in 2018 and now I'm currently using a s23 ultra but I confess I miss the xperias soo much
Because the people don’t care about camera quality… they want the best device for social media. That’s why people buy apple. A don’t like for example Samsung cameras. Google do a good job ! But too much AI Sony is the only one care about what really people need… Good camera, SD card, 3,5 mm jack and beautiful design ! This is just my opinion. Take care.
Sony's software support and the hardware for its price with their mid-range phones is rather poor which is why I never bothered with them and now with a Fairphone 5 that i intend to keep until 2030 and so far I am pretty happy.
At 11:50, I meant to say "small bezel". Oops.

I had a Sony Xperia X2 Ultra (at least I think that was what it was called). Pretty good phone.
I think the 1 VI has a 1080p screen; not a 1440p screen.

I'll take that as a compliment.

I believe that the problem with the Sony phones is that their previous camera apps were too complicated and they scared regular users with this app
I can see that.
Sony's software support and the hardware for its price with their mid-range phones is rather poor which is why I never bothered with them and now with a Fairphone 5 that i intend to keep until 2030 and so far I am pretty happy.
I understand. I'll have to see how mine does.
Umm Ami I the only person who is gonna ask the question?
No. You are not :’)
Should I ask which question?
