Sony Xperia 1 V Black - 6.5 Inch 21:9 Wide 4K HDR OLED - 120Hz Refresh rate -Triple lens(with Next Gen Sensor & ZEISS)- 3.5 mm audio jack - Android 13 - SIM free - Dual SIM hybrid

The Sony Xperia 1 V in Platinum Silver is an absolute masterpiece. I’ve been a fan of Sony’s phones for a while, and this one completely exceeded my expectations — it’s easily one of the finest smartphones I’ve ever used. First impressions — the design is absolutely gorgeous. The Platinum Silver finish looks premium and sleek, with a beautiful matte texture that resists fingerprints brilliantly. It’s slim, lightweight, and perfectly balanced in the hand, with that classic Sony understated style. Performance-wise, it’s a beast. The Snapdragon chipset and generous RAM mean everything is lightning-fast — whether it’s multitasking, gaming, or editing photos and videos. There’s no lag, no stuttering — just smooth, fluid use every time. Plus, the battery life is genuinely excellent. Even with heavy use — 5G on, lots of media consumption, camera usage — I was easily getting through a full day and more. Speaking of media, the display is jaw-dropping. Sony’s 4K OLED is simply unmatched — sharp, vibrant, with incredible colour accuracy. Watching films on this phone is genuinely a pleasure, especially paired with the excellent front-facing stereo speakers which deliver rich, clear audio without needing headphones. The camera setup is fantastic too. Sony has really honed their tech here — true-to-life colours, incredible detail, and low-light performance that rivals full-blown dedicated cameras. The manual controls are a dream for anyone who likes tinkering, but even in full auto mode the results are stunning. Only minor thing to note is that Sony’s interface is a bit different from stock Android, but I actually find it really clean and intuitive once you get used to it. In short, if you want a proper premium smartphone that feels special, performs flawlessly, and looks absolutely stunning, the Xperia 1 V is well worth every penny. Five stars without hesitation!

I upgraded from a previous Xperia as I've had perfect reliability so far with Sony - and place great store on strength and this dependability. I was really looking forward to the 1V upgrades and am highly satisfied with what is a premium purchase. Standout features are the subtle design, brilliant 4K screen, surprisingly good stereo sound, flawless fingerprint login, and the camera - which rewards learning time, and experimentation with beautiful images over which I have the maximum control... a joy to use. And that camera button is just the thing to have. Having the headphone / aux jack is a real plus for quick use, although for longer sessions it pairs perfectly with the Sony LinkBuds I treated myself to and think are fantastic. It only gets warm when charging while actually in use... which isn't great for any battery's life anyway. No heat issues in extended use. Battery life great. It isn't a flashy phone. It's discreet and elegant. An iPhone will seem onscreen to take better images... but wait until you do your stuff with the raw shots out the Xperia 1V, and then compare. I was backstage onstage at a big festival and filmed an act - every face in the crowd was sharp and the new forward-facing mic adds performance. I also bought the "official" cover with stand features. It's a perfect match and the stand options ideal. I don't use it day to day as I prefer the simplest of clear, super grippy covers most of the time. So - very happy with it and still discovering features after three months!

This is my first Xperia phone though own many other sunny products. Reason for purchase....still has a headphone socket and ability to take a micro SD card. Additionally as an amateur photographer I was hoping for a phone that I could at last get fairly decent images from. Very pleased with all of the above. To get the most out of the camera you need to shoot in RAW and use a decent app to post edit but still perfectly good photos in basic mode (as good as the usual Samsung/iphone rivals.). Optical zoom up to 125mm. Battery life is excellent, as is the display. Video capabilities are well above the competition. Supports LDAC and apt X hd for hi-res Bluetooth audio. A great alternative to the usual brands and I will purchase an Xperia again, though I imagine this phone will last me a few years. It's very durable - it's been dropped onto hard surfaces a few times without injury.

Too fiddly for me but good phone

Love it. Great decision. This is best Sony phone ever made. Camera is top notch. I don't understand negative reviews I've had none of those issues with battery overheating and stuff. Camera is complicated at first but all you gotta do is learn watch a youtube video or something. Yes it's very expensive that's only con. The phone is not layered with crap it's simple and easy to use. And NO the back of the phone is not plastic it's textured glass! Seriously some people just chat so much crap by giving out false info

Although I've only had the phone 7 day's, to me it's a great phone and a good upgrade from my previous Xperia 1 ii. I had a Samsung some years ago which couldn't take photo's unless you were 2 feet away and also 'fried' and damaged 2 SD cards, so when it came to looking for a decent phone I looked at Sony (I will not have anything Apple). So far I have only had to charge it twice in the week that I have had it, the camera is brilliant and such an upgrade from the old one. And as for the sound quality from the front facing speakers, I'm well impressed! Admittedly that the sound quality isn't the same as coming from a proper Hi-Fi or surround sound system, or anything, but from something so small, it's extremely good. I'm still getting used to it at the moment, but I'm very impressed with it so far - which is basically what I would expect from a quality company such as Sony.

Alles Okay

Très bon téléphone. Attention, les dernières MAJ Android ne semble pas s'installer (peut être un problème si vous les souhaitez).

È il top fra gli Android, Sony è una garanzia assoluta

Acquistato "usato: come nuovo", da venditore terzo, non Amazon che ha gestito solo l'ordine, esteticamente perfetto, ha cominciato MOLTO male il suo percorso nelle mie mani. Lo smartphone era in "boot loop" e non si caricava, ma continuava ad accendersi e spegnersi per ben 15 minuti. Potete immaginare la delusione. Prima di occuparmi di lui, ho provveduto immediatamente ad avviare il reso. Dopo aver riprovato ancora senza risultati, provo ad avviarlo in modalità provvisoria, tenendolo sotto alimentazione. Nel menù, seleziono "boot to fastboot" e premo invio. In quel momento il telefono si riavvia e finalmente supera lo scoglio fino ad arrivare alla schermata di configurazione del dispositivo, iniziando a caricare la batteria che passa da uno 0% ad un significativo 1%. Dopo averlo caricato completamente, il telefono viene stressato dal momento della sua ricezione, in avanti. Testando tutto c'ho che è valutabile, dalla connessione al jack delle cuffie, dalla lettura della MicroSD agli aggiornamenti, fino all'ultimo Android 15. Questo per decidere se il reso poteva essere cancellato oppure no. Riponendo un'enorme fiducia nel brand e provenendo dal dispositivo precedente, a distanza di giorni posso dire che le aspettative che avevo sono formalmente mantenute. Lamento la perdita del Led delle notifiche (ma lo sapevo già), ma guadagno un grip che il precedente 1IV non aveva. Tutto l'Hardware a disposizione di Android, fa il suo lavoro egregiamente. Il Sony Xperia 1V è fluido, ha un ottimo audio da speaker stereo, ma è imbattibile con le Sony WH-X1000M4 cablate o wireless. Il suo form factor 21:9, il display 4K, il tasto fotocamera, il jack 3,5", la MicroSD, sono elementi più unici che rari che uniti ad un comparto fotografico di valore e la qualità costruttiva, lo rendono unico e particolare. Queste sue caratteristiche, sono apprezzate maggiormente da chi ama distinguersi invece che uniformarsi alla massa che sia Android o iOS. Ci sono anche ombre. La più grave è che un dispositivo simile, come i precedenti, sono supportati solo per 2 Major Update ed è un peccato. Se Sony non cambia politica, Android 15 è l'ultima release a disposizione dell'1V. Questo stride con la longevità del dispositivo e della sua batteria e meriterebbe un maggior supporto. Per questo prezzo ci sono competitors che fanno meglio. A causa delle condizioni in cui è arrivato, la valutazione poteva essere decisamente viziata per colpa del venditore e con ragione, ma ad uscirne danneggiato, sarebbe stato l'1V, incolpevole del trattamento ricevuto in precedenza.

Construção e design fantásticos. Excelente câmara, excelente ecrã. Entrada para headphones e a bateria mais duradoura que já tive num telemóvel. 5 estrelas
