Sony Xperia 1 V Review

 

The Sony Xperia 1 V is a superb phone that barely puts a foot wrong – it's just too expensive, even for a flagship.

Speedy performance with top-notch internals ; Brilliant sound with a dedicated headphone jack ; Superb stamina with multi-day battery life

It’s as expensive as non-folding phones get ; Bloatware is insulting in a phone this expensive ; Textured glass back feels a lot like plastic

The Sony Xperia 1 V is a superb phone that barely puts a foot wrong. It’s lightning-fast with a great screen, enviable battery life and a superb camera array. You might quibble with the design, which remains an acquired taste, but it does everything...

Sony Xperia 1 V review: the good, the niche and the pricey

 

The Xperia 1 V is the ultimate audio, photo, and video enthusiast's phone – but can it woo the mainstream?

Premium styling ; Great performance ; Advanced camera features ; 3.5mm headphone jack

Very expensive ; Complicated camera system ; Battery is good – not great ; No Android update commitment

The Xperia 1 V is Sony's first do-it-all flagship in a while with no red flags – except for that price tag. Costing more than either the S Pen-toting Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra or Apple iPhone 14 Pro, the Xperia 1 V needs to be superb to beat them. In...

Sony Xperia 1 V review

 

Sony's flagship smartphone is still about as cinematic as a phone can be

Cinematic picture for a smartphone ; New design looks and feels great ; Wired and wireless audio compatibility

Tall screen can be awkward at times ; Expensive

Sony’s cinematic flagship smartphone impresses us once again, with upgrades in all the key areas

Sony Xperia 1 V review: The master camera finally gets night mode

 

Sony's latest flagship brings some welcome changes, but is it still too expensive?

Textured back and grooved sides make it easy to grip ; Fantastic OLED display ; Smooth performance and good battery life ; Really versatile camera system

It's expensive ; Ultrawide camera could be better ; Complicated camera software

The Sony Xperia 1 V is designed for something of a niche audience. It's too expensive and has a camera system that's pretty complicated. However, if you find true-to-life camera results preferable to the mainstream saturated approach, or want...

Sony Xperia 1 V review

 

The Sony Xperia 1 V is a classic Sony flagship: incredibly powerful, incredibly complicated, and only likely to appeal to committed Sony-philes

Excellent performance ; Beautiful slim, textured design ; Stunning 4K HDR display

Camera is complicated and difficult to use well ; Slow charging ; Uncertain long-term software support ; Needlessly expensive

The Xperia 1 V is more of the same from Sony: a powerful, expensive flagship phone that’s destined to only appeal to a small niche. If you love Sony’s proper cameras and want a phone that mimics them, you may well love it – but otherwise you should...

Sony Xperia 1 V review: fan favourite

 

Sony's latest 'greatest hits' flagship, the Xperia 1 V debuts an all-new camera sensor that brings major low light improvements

All the manual modes a pro snapper or videographer could want ; Stunning screen and great sound ; Last of the old guard for fan favourite features

Cameras not as point-and-shoot friendly as rivals ; Charging speeds are merely average ; Serious money

Another zero-compromise flagship that borrows its best bits from each Sony division. Shoots fantastic stills and videos if you put in the effort – but not everyone will want to.

Sony Xperia 1 V review: Grippier body, same polarising aspect ratio - Techgoondu Sony Xperia 1 V review: Grippier body, same polarising aspect ratio

 

The Sony Xperia 1 V has improved on its predecessor and it would be easily recommendable if not for its price and aspect ratio. The Sony Xperia 1 V has improved on its predecessor and it would be easily recommendable if not for its price and aspect ratio.

Classic design, lightweight, top-notch ingress protection.

No charger and no cable in the box.

Everything boils down to whether the Xperia 1 V checks the most boxes on your list - if it does, we are sure you will not regret getting it.
