Review on Smartphone Sony Xperia 1 IV 12/256 GB, Dual nano SIM, black by Micha wierczewski ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best purchase in my life, I will definitely buy it again.

This phone is only available through unauthorised imports in 2022. Sellers totally break the factory seal off the box by opening it to "globalize" the firmware before soldering it shut again. The 2022 language is available in the options and it functions, including a rapid search for contacts on the numeric keypad. Despite the lack of an official firmware for the CIS nations, this does not appear to be a problem. A firmware update came once the connection was made to the Internet. Information concerning customisation for the sales market is absent from the service menu. I have the white model XQ-CT72. In actuality, it has a barely perceptible greenish tint and is slightly gray.

Pros
  • - Virtually all Android (if suddenly no one owned Sony phones) - An effective spam call filter (not a feature of this particular model, but it comes pre-installed in the most recent Dormouse without any further bother; it also functions wonderfully here, albeit it occasionally misses) - Finally, we added a lengthy screenshot that has been present in Samsung for a very long time: (anyone owned a mark II knows) The villi no longer get caught close to the speaker at the intersection of the glass and body. - Aluminum is "painted" via anodizing (at least in the white form).
Cons
  • - The case now has sharp edges, making it less comfortable to hold the phone in your hand than with the mark II - There will be no official warranty in 2022, only the seller's warranty - When the vibration works, the phone shakes violently on the table's surface because it rests on the table at the corner of the body that is farthest from the camera block and the camera block itself. Another body corner rattles against the table and hangs almost freely. In addition, for geeks (in the earlier version of the review, there was a minus star for allegedly not working VoLTE at all, but a fix was found; I apologize if this point ended up being crucial for someone): - The first registration in IMS services after turning on the phone was done via WiFi, which is one of the issues with VoLTE: it does not function if VoWiFi is activated at the same time. One of the following approaches can help you solve it: Disable VoWiFi, set VoLTE priority over VoWiFi in the settings, then reset the phone with WiFi disabled (you can turn it back on after the reboot). - possibly the next firmware release will address this issue.
