Any idea why is Sony selling Xperia 5 V at such a high price in SG? I went Taiwan and was shocked that it’s so much cheaper, like around S$1k only. SGD currency is so strong, it doesn’t make sense that we have to pay more. Very tempted to buy export set instead

Probably a profit maximizing tactic, since the market is smaller than Japan and Taiwan

With the new gst the price is back up to 1594sgd

If you buy in Thailand the price is even cheaper at around 1400sgd, but no free gifts

This was what zackbuks posted on changes. Don't know if it did include into our firmware .

索尼 Xperia 国行 Android 14 升级正式开始。

今天，索尼中国向国行 Xperia 1 V & 5 V、1 IV & 5 IV 推送了 Android 14 系统升级，更新包约 1.2GB，更新分批推送，还未收到推送的稍安勿躁。
Xperia 1 V& 5V 更新版本号：67.1.F.2.134
在索尼特色方面，Xperia 1 V 在本次升级中，追平了 Xperia 5 V 的部分功能：
· 新增 视频快剪 app，通过简单导入+编辑，1分钟制作视频大片。
· 改进 散景功能，在 Xperia 5 V 上备受好评的全新散景功能如今加入到 Xperia 1 V 中，该模式在主摄 24mm 以及长焦 85mm、125mm 三个固定焦段可打开。
· 改进 摄影大师 app，在视频模式下加入 4K 120fps 以及 4K 慢动作视频选项，无需使用视频大师也可享受一样的视频拍摄功能。
· 改进 游戏增强器 app，界面 UI 与 INZONE 风格看齐，功能界面更顺手。

除了以上特色功能更新，针对国行系统，Xperia 1 V 和 5 V 在本次升级后也终于修复了支付宝 app 指纹支付失灵的问题。

针对 Xperia 1 IV、5 IV（64.2.A.2.124） 以及 5 V，更新基本就是普通系统更新了，摘录如下：
【新功能】
- 屏幕 | 可定制锁屏状态下的快捷方式。
- 通知 | 新增闪烁通知功能，收到新通知时可通过相机闪光灯或屏幕闪烁提示。
‐ 外部监视器 I 搭配索尼相机流式传输时，1080p及4K分辨率设置下相机音频可传输至手机。
【更新与改进】
- 壁纸和样式 | 新增系统颜色和单色主题。
- 节电优能 | 新增自启动管理。
- USB | USB连接模式中新增PTP模式。
- 相机应用 | 无障碍功能改进。
- 电池设定“STAMINA 模式”更新名称为“省电模式”。

系统整体动画和返回操作图标也有改进，更动态，国行本次更新的是较新的 Android 14 版本，之前国际版的动态亮度掉帧问题也一并修复。

I bought it during the launch promo. For the past few months I was switching between Xperia 5V and Pixel 8. The 5V runs cool, nice solid built, pocket-friendly, snappy and gets regular updates (security patch and Google Play system updated to 1 Mar). Pixel 8 is good but it was irritating to feel the body heat for no apparent reason. It's also wider and the Xperia 5V slimmer profile was preferred. Finally, yes agree - the battery life is exceptional. I'm a light user with WhatsApp and browser surfing, and I typically charge every 3-4 days. It's a keeper for now.

Awesome....thanks! Only downside I see is the low storage compared to the 1V
