Xperia 1 VI DUAL-SIM 12GB RAM 256GB 5G Khaki Green

Surprisingly smooth experience. Delivery came faster than anticipated. The box itself was a bit dusty and with a light scratch (seems as if the box was left in a warehouse for sometime and something heavy was put on it), but the device is brand new. As expected, the package contents are spartan - the usual documents (e.g., quick launch manual) and the device. No charger, no cables, and I'm happy for it. Keeps the package small, and I can't even count the number of chargers laying around. Xperia's Khaki Green as a color is delightful. Feels a bit darker than on the pictures. Overall happy. Would I buy from this shop again? Yes (through amazon, where you have a bit of protection as the end-user).

I purchased the Sony Xperia 1 VI in November 2024, expecting a reliable flagship device from Sony. Unfortunately, my experience has been extremely disappointing. After just a few months of use, the phone started restarting randomly several times a day without any warning. Sometimes, it even switches off completely and refuses to turn on for about an hour, even when I try the force restart (power + volume buttons). Another major issue is that the phone becomes very hot, even when I’m not using it heavily — sometimes just sitting idle on a table. I performed a factory reset, but the problems persist, which makes me believe this is a hardware defect. For a premium phone in this price range, this level of unreliability is unacceptable.

Ya 3 meses con el producto, excelente como cualquier electrónico de gama alta de sony. Como tal lo unico malo que veo es que a veces, digamos una o dos veces al dia, el sensor lateral no reconoce bien las huellas, indagando en internet esta problematica es general con el modelo, espero con una futura actualizacion lo arreglen, pero contando las libertades que da tener jack de audio, micro sd expandible y que sea un android puro, y la mejor duracion de cualquier telefono con este procesador, la verdad se lo recomendaria a cualquier fan de sony o de los android, tremendo.

No issues on T-Mobile. I also had it on AT&T and 4G worked fine though I wasn't able to get 5G working. AT&T sent me a text that the phone wasn't compatible on their network, but it worked fine. Overall this is one of the best phones on the market. The screen, battery life, camera, software, and sound quality are all great. The headphone jack output is extremely good on my Shure SE-846's. Also the camera photos retain that very natural Sony look (compared to most brands that are way too oversaturated and oversharpened).

Was super bummed this model isnt officially available in the US, luckily this variant (which I think is the Tawain variant) works automatically with T-Mobile. I placed the SIM card in and able to get onto T-Mobile network without any issues. Although, 5G is not available only LTE to get 5G some intervention may be needed, but let's face it LTE is super fast as well. I did confirm the IMEI to ensure the authenticity of the phone. Picture quality top notch, battery from 6am to 11pm with 6ish hours of phone use in between battery was still at 68%! One issue on prior Xperia was the heat, I have not noticed this on this phone after heavy use. Build quality is solid, doesn't have that cheap Samsung feel, feels more quality like an iPhone build. Super happy with the phone, wife has the newest iPhone and now wants this Xperia 1 Vii after comparing photos between the two.

El teléfono es muy ligero, no es grande en comparación con otros de la misma gama, la interface es muy rápido, la calidad de imagen y video muy buena. La batería me rinde bastante a pesar de jugar por mucho tiempo. Lo único es que para configurar página principal y uso de wallpaper en movimiento aún no le encuentro.

This is an update to my previous review. Been using this phone on T-Mobile on Maui, Hawaii and it gets excellent 5G reception (better than my wife's S24). Battery life is exceptional with about 1.5 days of charge, and I can get 2 days with light use (I set battery saver mode to 90% and re-charge when it gets to about 20%). It will charge from 20-90% in about 90 minutes with a generic fast wireless charger. I've installed a 1TB SD card that accommodates my entire digital photo album as well as a huge music library (and of course any data files I care to keep with me). I have also set my camera app to save all photos & videos to the SD card. The speakers are exceptional (for a phone) and almost as good as some Bluetooth speakers I've had. Camera is very good, and the selfie camera seems particularly good. Pic colors are somewhat more muted (natural?) than my wife's S24 (which pic colors seem somewhat "enhanced"). There is an option in the camera software to digitally enhance the photos after taking which does seem to brighten up the colors. Additionally, I like the lack of bloatware that's built into many android phones. I'm very happy with the Xperia 1 VI and would purchase again if I broke or lost it.
