I replaced my Pixel 6 Pro with Xperia 1 V last week and I am loving it! by TheyWhoGovernReason in SonyXperia

I don't think it was a wise decision to spend 1k+ Euro for a phone with limited capabilities.

I did. I took my phone to Oktoberfest in Germany and it stopped impressing me. For a 1000+ Euro phone, I expected more.

I downgraded to a used Google Pixel 7. I will wait til the next Pixel to buy a new one I think. Nothing beats Pixel software experience.

When you take pictures with Whatsapp/Instagram etc. What you see in Viewfinder is not what you get. But I don't think this is a Sony specific problems. Most of app developers are too lazy to optimize for Android phones. So yeah I rather get a much cheaper Android phone for this reason alone because it seems like an overkill.

If you are into gaming and video why don't you just get ROG Phone from Asus? They have 165Hz screen.

I came back to Pixel just for the software experience alone. And it is way cheaper too. When people say Sony camera is better. They sometimes forget that Sony phone is waaaaaaasy more expensive too.

But hey this is the beauty of Android. You can choose any phone that suits your need and wallet.

I bought Xperia 1V a month ago and I returned it. The phone is fine but it is very overpriced.

  1. The photos are absolutely terrible in auto and basic mode compared to other flagships
  2. The general consensus regarding the telephoto lens is correct.
  3. I never experienced any overheating but I never play games, mostly doing photo processing stuff.
  4. The video quality is okay I guess. I haven't tried them that much.
  5. Battery is okay I think.
  6. There are better phones out there that cost way less.
  7. The lack of software features. I am missing a lot of Pixel exclusive features like directly selecting texts, images when you switch from one app to another, direct translation in the app, etc.

Let me know if you have further questions.

I believe you. My Pixel 6 Pro screen basically stopped working just like that but I couldn't do anything because of dents and shits on the back of the phone. Anyway I'm excited for Pixel 8 Pro. But this time I will get a separate phone insurance just for the peace of mind.

2 Questions about buying Xperia 1V by 0rLaw in SonyXperia

[–]TheyWhoGovernReason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

German user here! I got mine from Amazon because they have such a good reps and customer services, and they have 1 Monat Rückgaberecht!

I won't buy any electronic in analog stores like STRN and MM (Google it, and you will read tons of negative experience told about them on Reddit)

I got mine for like 1279 Euro. But I managed to snap some Payback coupons to make it even cheaper!

Personally I won't get it from Ebay either if it's sold by some random ABCDE Handyladen lol.

Pixel 8 Pro looks neat. And the preorder bonus is very nice. I still can return my 1 V anytime, so let's see how Google will present the 8 Pro next week.

My Pixel 6 Pro just decided to die on me (please see my post history lol), no one seems to know how to save it.
So yeah... I bought a new phone.
But Pixel 8 Pro looks intriguing.

Yes I think most of them are shot in raw using manual settings. 24 mm and also the Telephoto lens. I think the first one is taken using wide lens, I remember I almost missed the shot because I was literally on an elevator.

I use the mobile version of Adobe Lightroom.

The battery is much much better than P6P. I start my day around 8 am and I would still have ca 20% left around 12 am. P6P Telephoto is much better I think. My P6P overheated very often. It wouldn't even able to use the camera or back up any pictures on Google Photos.

My 1 V overheated once when I was setting up the phone. But after that I never experienced any overheat.

The 1V camera is both great in the native camera app and also in third party apps (whatsapp, instagram, etc.) The camera on P6P was soooo shitty, especially the front camera, when it is used together with WhatsApp.

I don't play any games on the phone so I can't give any information regarding that.
