Was at the "workshop" (more like a promo event LOL) yesterday to try out the Xperia 1 V. Quite impressed, it dealt with most issues I have with my Xperia 5 II, especially since it now decided to draw a line at my continued usage of it, literally and metaphorically. Yes, I got that pink line issue and no, no more warranty
Liked how the staff know their stuff but was surprised at the change of the XM5 headphones to the Linkbuds. IMO they should have sent out an email to inform/promote the change. I feel kinda salty but then again, I got more headphones than earbuds so this Linkbuds will help to balance things out I guess? Tested some of the wireless stuff too yesterday, felt that the earbuds are more for me but I kinda wish I can top up for the XM4 earbuds...
Bought it yesterday night with the free vlog monitor; apparently they reserved a few sets for those who went for the event but havent decided if they buying or not, which is really sweet cos as of now, all 1 V and 10 V sold out in Sony online store, 313 (someone walked in last night to ask and was told it sold out) and Lazada. Yes, really lucky I got the set when I returned to the store at around 7pm and the staff recognised that I attended earlier in the day and so promptly prepared a set for me when I confirmed I wanted it (had to settle other errands after the event, didnt like to rush such high purchase items anyway)
Anyway, am hoping this is the phone that I can stay with for a long time compared to the last few years (this 5 II was just to tide me over when my XZs started to get harder to use for my work, but didnt expect it to get the pink line that quickly. And yeah, generally I have the most phone issues in any of my social circles so lol). Feels really great to be able to afford a more permanent solution too tbh, just didnt want to waste any more time on phone issues etc
Will take my time this week or so to get the 1 V up and running!
