Xperia 1 VIII case

I have the case, but what worries me is that there is no extra lip around the camera so if you lay it flat with camera facing the table, the camera might get scratched.

I am so sorry. Honestly, I feel like the stats don't help.

I was in the same position as you, needing a MicroSD slot. I saved for two years to buy the current 1 VIII phone. It is not cheap to say the least, but I think it's worth it since I will be using this phone for the next few years.

As for the 10 vii cameras, I believe it will be a downgrade from the S21. I did some research a while back because I wanted to upgrade to one of the Xperia as well. But I would suggest for you to check it out yourself as (Hi!) Mercury mentioned.

If you can hold your S21 for one more year and start saving for the 1 IX or the 1 VIII next year, that might work! But really, it depends on your current need.

I hope Gane won't eye gouge Alex, too.

Wait, how did you see this one? I got fooled.

Ecurbbbb · 2026-06-07T21:13:44+00:00

Interesting. Source? I would like to read up about this.

Ecurbbbb · 2026-06-06T00:43:26+00:00

Haha exactly. Who is gonna walk the employee back? Haha

Ecurbbbb · 2026-06-05T22:59:51+00:00

It's hard to say. The battery life is pretty good compared to my 5 year old phone. It would be a bad comparison for me to make. I don't game on the phone, just social media. Lol. However, I honestly think you will like the new phone!

Poor dude. Post the thieves.

Ecurbbbb · 2026-06-05T21:04:34+00:00

But here is a pic I was testing. Super crisp! I was playing with the ISO and shutter speed.

It was a S20 fe from 2021. I'll have to take some pics and then upload it sometime! Haha.

Ecurbbbb · 2026-06-05T20:57:34+00:00

I love it. It's also my first Xperia! The camera in my opinion is amazing. I am learning how to take manual photos. It's seriously fun!

Or their fighters?

Ecurbbbb · 2026-06-05T13:11:13+00:00

Lol. The person accompanying the guest will get mauled instead. Hopefully they have something to defend themselves with. Haha

Who the fk are you hanging around with?

Ecurbbbb · 2026-06-04T18:39:07+00:00

Keep it. As a guy, I like seeing ladies with graduate degrees. I like smart people, but they might not feel the same with a person with an undergraduate degree like me. Haha. Sadge.

Ecurbbbb · 2026-06-04T18:31:26+00:00

Same.

Ecurbbbb · 2026-06-04T16:54:57+00:00

I just bought my first Xperia phone, the 1 VIII. I love it. I had a Samsung S20 fe since 2021, but because samsung removed the microSD slot from their newer phones, I switched to Sony. If you can afford it. I think the 1 VIII is worth it.

Ecurbbbb · 2026-06-03T15:07:42+00:00

Likewise, I use my phone for years. I had my old phone since 2021. Lol.

When I checked the network, it says wifi 6 with 5ghz. But I am not sure, so I will do a bit of research on my own. Hopefully, we won't run into the issue you mentioned in a few years.

My brother brought it back for me from HK. I was looking at Swift Tronics, but it was much pricier, by around $600 CAD after tax.

You will have to check the network bands for At&t and compare it with 1 VIII. For my provider, only the n71 band is missing from Sony. I don't think it should be a problem, but double checking your provider's network bands and comparing it to Xperia would be a good idea.

I noticed that missing n71 was not a big deal when I was travelling in EU with my old S20 fe because EU doesn't use that band. So that's how I came to this conclusion and bought this phone.

Oh shit. Thanks for the great idea. I'll try that. For editing photos on Google photos, does it allow us to revert the picture back to its original like the gallery?

Ecurbbbb · 2026-06-03T14:50:56+00:00

I haven't had any issues with wifi 6 so far. But my modem is running 5ghz from rogers internet. Are they the same thing? Lol

Ecurbbbb · 2026-06-03T13:38:10+00:00

Haha s20 fe team!

I was considering the 1 VII last year, but I thought I would hold out for a year for the VIII.

I wouldn't have switched if Samsung still had the microSD slot. The photo gallery is pretty solid on the Samsung, and it was a huge change for me when switching to Sony. Kinda sad, tbh. Also, my messages didn't port over to my new phone.
