      @@Ghovilord Some people pay for the best sound they can get, and want to hear what they paid for. You simply can't do that with Bluetooth and Spotify. The phone market shifted to wireless because they realized that most people just don't care about how good their content sounds. Sony; however, kept sound, video, and camera quality higher than the standard, because their phone was supposed to be a gateway to the rest of their technological offerings for the average consumer. The problem is that the average consumer could never justify paying the exorbitant prices Sony continued to charge for its mobile devices, and now the Xperia brand is losing it's premium identity to pander to the broader market...which is never a good sign for any company. Regardless the Xperia 1V is currently the only phone that can stream Dolby Atmos content due to its 4K screen. That is the phone to get this Black Friday.

      Personally I also think that 2k, 3k, 4k on a 6-7" screen only serves to tax the processor and drain the battery 🔋, but 1.5k consumes like FHD, with the advantages of 2k , and that's the minimum for a $1300 smartphone, especially when $350 smartphones have 1.5k.

      Sony needs a differentiator. It needs the headphone jack....and DAC (like old LG). It needs truly stereo front facing speakers like HTC. FHD or 1.5k 90Hz screen is okay. Give a upper range Mediatek processor and good camera sensor and processing plus signature Sony build quality. If such a phone is sold at mid range price of $600-$800, I will consider it.

If you just want quick, good looking photos, good phones nowadays can do the job flawlessly. If you want to take camera looking photos (depth of field mainly), yes a camera with proper, expensive lenses will do it better. But it will always be a bulkier and more cumbersome setup.

      Xperia 1 phones NEVER EVER had 4K resolution displays whatsoever.
      16:9 4K = 3840 x 2160 = 8,294,400 pixels.
      21:9 4K = 5120 x 2160 = 11,059,200 pixels.
      Xperia 1 series up until the 1 V has used 3840 x 1644 (= 6,312,960 pixels) which is NOT 4K in any way shape or form. Even LinusTechTips has pointed out that fact on his Short Circuit channel years ago.
      Sony has been lying to everyone with their BS marketing tactics.

      4K has nothing to do with Megapixels (It's not photography) but with the horizontal pixel count. At the end of the day it is nothing more than just a Marketing term that has nothing to do with the 2160p that we geeks/gamers/enthusiasts usually refer to.

    No RGBC-IR.
    No Laser AF.
    No 3D iToF.
    No 4K Resolution. (this was acceptable but only because battery on smartphones in general is not advancing and it becomes a major issue among all phone especially flagships)
    Then again casual consumers probably don't even know what are all these hardware for. Also it's sad to see the revolutionary Exmor T stacked sensor is still only for the main cam.

    I own the Xperia IV and I've had a Sony phone since the Z1. I've never complained about their update decisions and design choices. However, I have some major issues with the VI.
    I love the 21:9 ratio, in my hands it fits comfortably and watching movies on it is a dream. The move away from 21:9 is a disappointment but it's something I can live with.
    The move from 4k to 1080p however is absolutely disgraceful. For a phone that costs £1299 and is a flagship for 2024, I expect at least a QHD display to be in line with what Samsung and Apple offer.
    I have no idea what Sony were thinking. If Sony doesn't put a QHD display on the VII then I will have to consider going with another brand. A real shame.

      I recently updated an old Moto G1 that was forgotten on the drawer to android 10 and am using it randomly while my S20 is charging, and the notification LED drives me crazy. I hate to see that thing blinking. And it's a soft curve white suttle repetitive simple blink. It tells me nothing and it's so distracting (it might be because I'm autistic idk). I don't understand why people like that. I would disable that on my main device for sure. And I have the notification edge light option enabled all colorful on my Samsung and that doesn't bother me at all. It only pops up when the notification comes.

    Lovely device, always adored Sony phones, wish to go back to using them, but there are some points of critique. Their prices are a bit high, they offer a lot but still, for devices with average software support terms, price is big. Which introduce a second critique point, sustainability, minimum 4 years software and OS support and 5 years security updates is a minimum standard. So the price could be justified not only for features it offers, but also long term use. Devices at this price point should be designed to last 5 years with official software and security support. Other than that, spectacular, Sony phones are so great!

    I had a Sony 1iv. Absolutely loved it, but didn't see the point of a phone camera that didn't have an idiot mode. I have a 4/3rd Panasonic for taking more serious photography which has physical buttons to provide more intuitive control over speed, apertures etc. A phone camera is useful for more spontaneous photos and I don't want to be thinking about how to take a photo.
    This time round, I couldn't justify the expense of the Sony and went for a Google 7pro, which was 35% cheaper.
    But I really wanted the Sony and might find the money next time around to go back to the brand, especially with reviews like this.

    Awesome review WhatGear. My only guess is that if Sony has made some questionable decisions here for the Xperia 1 VI like not having a 4K screen, lack of notification LED, dimension ratio change etc....
    Perhaps they could be saving these legacy features for a Pro/Ultimate model later in the year like what they have done in the past. Because the Xperia 1 VI is not giving me that true flagship vibe so far 😔 unlike it's predecessors when launched.
    Makes me love my 1 IV even more. Thus, from time to time, I will rewatch the 1 IV's launch film just to see how stacked it's features are compared to this 1 VI.

    2. Use a 32 MP or 48 MP for the telephoto camera for more details.
    3. Use a 16-20 MP UW camera instead of the 12 MP.

My main issues with 1II were: long focus distance (could not take a picture of small text, like on electronic components), aspect ratio that no one supports (got 1-2 issues with it daily), weak headphone output (i had Note 8 prior to Sony 1II and it was much louder), very weak flashlight, only 2y support.

      But it's nice that they've extended the Android support, could have been a bit more.
      But that's also somehow a Sony problem they can do good things but somehow always screw it up even though it would be so easy e.g. longer Android support, the notification LED back in and maybe max 1440p display and then it would be almost perfect.

    Great review, sounds like Sony was paying attention. However, I'm still on the fence about its stability to record videos or take photos or game all day without overheating as with previous models

    4k is overkill, but for the most part the phone runs at Full HD+ so for everyday use there probably isnt the biggest change. Im mostly jealous of a variable refresh rate display and if course the new telephoto range.. but as a 1 V owner, i'll skip this generation with these minor (imo) upgrades.

    I pre-ordered it and I’m much looking forward to it. And I personally prefer the new aspect ratio.
    It’s just a little sad that they didn’t bring back the LED notification

    This would be an instant buy for me if it were more like a 5.8 to 6 in display. I understand why people want gigantic screens but I really wish they were more options for smaller phones, even if it sacrifices battery capacity.

    I've owned every single version of the Xperia 1 series and seen an incremental improvement in successive models. I was extremely sceptical of the VI until I watched this ! I can now see that Sony has made some effort to improve sound quality which to be fair wasn't bad on the V but wasn't as good as it could have been bearing in mind Sony's hifi skills. So this video has tranformed me from a Xperia VI sceptic into a maybe purchaser.

    When I choose a smartphone, I place the most importance on the camera. Therefore, a 4K display, which is disadvantageous in terms of brightness when shooting outdoors, was not necessarily necessary. I liked the 21:9 aspect ratio, which is easy to hold with one hand, but I understand that the cost performance of a custom display was not good. Another attractive feature is that the battery life has increased dramatically by changing from 4K to FHD+ this time. 1VI users will realize that the battery draining in an instant has been a major stressor until now. When the battery runs out, the smartphone becomes just a board. So is it a good idea to dangerously increase the charging speed? No. Increasing the charging speed will shorten the battery life. The best way is to reduce power consumption. Sony chose that direction this time. I agree with it. Are those who criticize the fact that the 4K display has become FHD+ choosing smartphones only based on the display resolution? I have serious doubts. Also, have those who lament the fact that it has become FHD+ really supported 4K Xperias until now? If so, the Xperia's share would have been much larger. But the reality is that 4K displays would not have expanded market share, and Sony simply had to deeply rethink what was really important in a smartphone in order to survive.

    Even if 1 V had 4k screen it rendered everything in 1080p. They didn't even upscale it. 1080p allows them to make the screen brighter with ltpo. Also this phone is more like 5 v with that 1080p screen and should be priced accordingly.
