Sony Xperia 1 V

[Toader]

is there international warranty?

I'm choosing between this and oppo find x6 pro (which is not released globally...)

might end up getting a friend to buy either of them from HK or something in July...

Likely no international warranty. Best is buy from Sony SG. There are members here who bought overseas went to send SG service center need to fork out ( read the previous phones topics it's somewhere there)

30 degrees room temperature 4k 60 fps 27 minutes overheat . 4k 30fps record over 1 hour 10 minutes no heat warning. This guy video damn detailed. Even compare with iphone 14 pro and samsung galaxy s23 ultra .

I think my battery still ok..

how u check the mah left? lol

Using accubattery to gauge wear levels, very noticeable now that I need to charge twice a day haha

 

[darkmatt]

Haha. Not going to argue with that.
Met some diehard fans who defend that loss of SD card slot is good since everything is in cloud, and without 3.5mm jack since majority of earphones are wireless now. Whatever floats their boat.

Yeah, looking to see what colours are available for 5V.
Blue and purple 5IV very chio.

sd card still needed la.. or even dual sim.. which they dont have anyway...

3.5mm is a must for audophiles

 

[chooyoshi]

That's pretty sad if you are paying top dollars for a product and can't choose the colours that are available but not locally. I thought they only do this to the smaller model - 5 IV.

Other countries lagi worse

Can't even buy an Xperia at all

My Mk3 battery ggg already think capacity is like 2700mah now

The battery life is now not able to sustain a day and can drain out very fast

If the phone is functioning fine except for a degraded battery, i dont think it warrants a phone change?
some brands are offering original battery change as low as $50 (out of warranty).

nowadays smart phones very powerful, flagships surely can last 4 years

3.5mm jack is minimum requirement for quality music. Though mass crowd going cheap on headphones and probably lower quality music sources. At least you get choices when you have the hardware.

Market share too low, cannot help if certain countries' mindshare is all about either IOS or few android brands going cheap and full scale marketing.
Both pricing and marketing (if any) are not doing any favors to xperia, unlike the gaming console market where there is only few mainstream brands.

i need 3.5mm for other reasons (rhythm games lol).

But ya.. in general I still use wired.

Hi all, I’m new to Sony phone. Saw the Sony event and wanted to give it a try. I got a couple of questions.

1) comparing with Xperia Pro I, is it better to get Pro I due to 1 inch sensor and the price drop is almost cheaper?
2) how many years of android OS upgrade and Security does Sony support?
3) dual SIM card support?

1) Sony often places the latest tech and software in their new product, and it rarely trickle down to older models even if it is just software. IMO, better to get Xperia 1 V.
2) 2 years of OS and Security updates.
3) Dual physical SIM. https://www.sony.com.sg/smartphones/products/xperia-1m5/spec

"2 years" of updates is for the prev gen.. maybe this one will be better...

We can hope, but did Sony officially announce any increase?
1 II support ended exactly at end of 2 years mark, 1 III still got a few more months to go for confirmation, 1 IV still got 1 more year to go so can't tell yet.

Welcome to the dark side.

Speaking of software updates. My xperia 5 is still using very fine although long out of firmware support, only left with play store updates and sometimes android general updates. Only hit's battery went down a bit lower to around 80 percent of it's original. Other than that I'm very happy with it . Sometimes it does better job than xperia 1IV. (Signal strength and loading youtube )

as long as playstore updates still around, should be ok ba..

speaking of which .. how come pro-i don't have upgrade after so many years? could have reached out to those who really want a 1" sensor..
