The price/quality ratio is great, I will buy again.

The fact that it is not a shovel, while being long, and that it is incredibly convenient to operate with the settings when shooting like a camera)) makes me very happy with the purchase. A lovely, sturdy bar in the hand. Its advantages include a narrow shape that is quite comfortable in the hand. fantastic cameras and a show. There are numerous features in the camera app. color and image displays that are natural. has certain drawbacks There is no wired charging, charging from Sony is…

The perfect product for any user!

In use 4 months. A breakthrough for Sony smartphones in terms of autonomy (surely 12 hours without letting go at a frequency of 60 hertz) and cameras (see photo in auto mode). The screen is perfect - the eyes do not get tired, colorful pictures and movies are incomparable. The first firmware on Android 12 was buggy, then about five ates came out with the transition to Android 13 - there are no complaints about the stability of the device, the normal logic of the device's on / off key has…

Pros
  • OS stability, battery, screen, built-in sound and through headphones, screen aspect ratio, 3.5 mm jack, memory card, speed
Cons
  • At 120 hertz heating, Mir Pay works terribly, meager equipment

The quality exceeds all expectations, I recommend to buy.

Moved from 10ki to the new version 1 IV. The phone is big, it’s convenient for me, everything is on the screen, it will probably be big for girls. Not heavy, applications quickly rustle. I don’t play games (there is a tablet for this), but I have no doubt that everything will pull. I shot a video a couple of times - the phone did not warm up, everything is fine. The photo quality is good, no complaints. The sound is also better than on 10ke - the feeling that it comes from everywhere) The…

Pros
  • 1. Nimble. Real compared to last Sony 10 2. Immediately ated to Android 13 3. Nimble camera and special applications from Sony for video filming 4. And again, the most important thing - everything is fast, smart, bright, colorful.
Cons
  • 1. Slippery in hand, I'm worried 2. Grows battery, but to be expected 3. Few accessories - there are only bumpers, covers are miserable and without a Hall sensor (the cover is closed, the screen is off and vice versa).

Wonderful quality, one hundred percent satisfied!

The fact that it is not a shovel, despite the fact that it is long, makes it really convenient to use, with the settings when shooting like a camera)) I have to study makes me very happy with the purchase. In particular, the fact that it is not a shovel makes me very happy. It seemed like I was holding a great substantial bar. Several advantages, including the fact that the design is not overly bulky and can be held in the hand with ease. Excellent display as well as camera quality. Numerous…

I am delighted, the product is really worthy.

In the year 2022, the only way to purchase this phone is through unofficial importation. The factory seal is broken when the box is opened by sellers in order to "globalize" the firmware and then resoldered, which results in the total removal of the seal from the box. There is no official firmware available for the countries that make up the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), but this does not appear to be a problem. The 2022 language can be found in the options, and it functions…

Pros
  • - Virtually unmodified android (in the unlikely event that somebody suddenly did not own a Sony phone). - An effective filter for preventing unwanted calls from being received (this is not a feature of this particular model, but the most recent version of dormouse includes it out of the box with no additional setup required; it also functions faultlessly here, although it does occasionally fail) - Finally, we added a long screenshot, which has been in Samsung for a very long time - the villi no longer get trapped at the speaker at the intersection of the glass with the body (everyone who has owned a mark II knows this). — Anodizing serves as the "paint" for the aluminum, at least for the white variant.
Cons
  • The case now has sharp edges, and holding the phone in your hand is not as comfortable as it was with the mark II. - There will be no official warranty in 2022; only the seller will provide a warranty. When the vibration feature is activated, the phone is supported on the surface of the table at two different points: the camera block and the corner of the body that is furthest from it. As a result, the phone makes a loud rattling sound as it moves around the surface. Another portion of the body that is almost completely dangling and rattling against the table Further for nerds (in the previous version of the review, there was a minus star for purportedly not working VoLTE at all, but a solution was found; I apologize if this moment turned out to be deciding for someone else): - There are certain issues with Voice over LTE, including the fact that it will not function properly if Voice over WiFi (VoWiFi) is also activated on the device at the same time, and the first registration in IMS services after turning the phone on will take place over WiFi. You can find a solution to it using any one of the following methods: - turn off Voice over WiFi (VoWiFi), - give Voice over LTE (VoLTE) preference in the settings, and - restart the phone with WiFi turned off (you can turn it back on after the reboot). - maybe the newest version of the firmware will include an update to fix this issue.

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…

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.

In 2022, the only way to get this phone is through grey market imports. The factory seal is broken when vendors "globalize" the firmware and then "re-solder" the device back into the packaging. Even though the 2022 language is not officially supported, it is available in the settings and appears to be fully functional, including a rapid search for contacts using the numeric keypad. A firmware update became available once the device was online. Sales market customization options are not…

Pros
  • - Almost entirely Android (in case, for some reason, you don't have a Sony phone). - A capable spam call filter (not included in this model but included in the most recent dormouse without any extra setup or configuration; it also works perfectly here, but occasionally missing calls) - Finally, we included a lengthy screenshot, a feature that has been available on Samsung devices for quite some time: the villi no longer become obstructed near the speaker at the point where the glass meets the body (as anyone who has used a mark II will attest). — Anodized aluminum, which can be thought of as "painted"
Cons
  • The case has sharper edges and is less comfortable to touch than the mark II, and there will be no formal warranty beyond the seller's in 2022. When the vibration feature is active, the phone's two contact points (the camera block and the corner of the body furthest from it) cause it to rattle loudly on the tabletop. The other (nearly dangling) side of the torso hits the table, rattling. And here's some more nerdy stuff (in the first review, I docked a star because VoLTE wasn't working, but a fix was eventually found; I'm sorry if that was a dealbreaker for anyone): - The first registration in IMS services after powering on the phone was accomplished using WiFi, and VoLTE fails if VoWiFi is also activated. The following are some potential solutions: Turn off VoWiFi, prioritize VoLTE over VoWiFi in the phone's settings, then restart the device without WiFi enabled (you can enable it again after the reboot). Maybe the updated firmware will have a solution for this issue.

Perfect purchase for me, exactly what I was looking for!

Regarding the disadvantages: - the battery lasts somewhere for a day, maybe more - as someone uses it. But adjusted for performance, this is to be expected. Wireless charging saves. - branded screen. It is what it is. In any case, I will glue the protective glass - heating. To take a couple of dozens of photos is quite normal. If anyone wants to conduct a "wedding" video shooting - active cooling will not be superfluous. : on average, the battery goes from 80 to 30 per day. 80% is the…

Pros
  • Camera Build quality Screen
Cons
  • Battery is too small The screen is quite bright Heats up when shooting for a long time

Great product, a pleasure to use.

So, I am writing a review about the phone after almost a year of use. The first thing I want to draw attention to is that the Japanese really worked all year to improve it. He completely stopped warming up. There are no more errors. HDR in the front camera has become better and stopped creating areolas above the head. Added the ability to shoot vertically in a pro video. The camera stopped overheating, and you can shoot vlogs in 4K all day If we take the experience of almost a year of use, I…

Pros
  • Screen 21.9 Good front camera natural colors in the photo Great loud speaker The best sound in headphones The best movie experience on the go Mechanical shutter button No screen cutouts
Cons
  • Just terrible video quality if you shoot through " my forbidden network". The charge runs out quickly. Overprice 3 video apps

So, let's begin. Everything is good with the store, everything is cool. Android 13. Sony is back in flight and I'll tell you why. Let's go: 1 battery. There is a 5000 capacious keg here. That is, Mark 3 lives the same way as Mark 4. An increase in battery means just keeping the bar and not dropping the phone at 0 for a couple of hours. And we thought that they did for us and the phone will now live longer ! Ahahha, yeah, where is it . Mark 3 and Mark 4 all live the same way. Using a phone at…

Pros
  • Screen. Style.
Cons
  • It stands like a wing from an airplane - not justified.

One of the best offers, glad I bought it.

I took it for games in my spare time (Call of Duty), watching sports videos with rewinds (video analysis) and sports shooting. I'm happy with everything, in games, like the previous flagships, 5 out of 5. The camera settings have finally become more understandable and convenient. (when compared with the third version). Considered between Samsung S22, but chose Sony Xperia 1 IV

Pros
  • Very fast, responds to every movement of the finger, clarity and picture on the display. 4k stunning display and 643 ppi. for which I love all Sony models. next to other flagships, the picture is more beautiful. for those who love manual camera settings, it is also rare to charge the phone and play toys with good demands. this is the perfect purchase. improved camera auto setup, now it is better and useful elements are placed in the settings and clear.
Cons
  • you need to be able to work with manual settings in which the camera is really different. the protruding camera on the side, it does not lie well on the table and you worry about the camera, the sides of the camera do not protrude, which makes it dangerous to scratch the protective glass. (Sony Xperia 1 PRO has a better module in this sense.)

Its pros: Excellent phone - display, camera (photos are not bad), no cutout on the screen from the front camera, battery 5000, comfortable, smart, excellent sound. With its cons: When shooting a video, it heats up, there is no adapter and even a cord in the kit, the Cinema Pro and Video Pro applications freeze (I think it will be fixed after the next ate).

Valuable purchase, nothing but pluses!

In 2022, this phone is sold only by unofficial imports. Sellers open the box to "globalize" the firmware and then solder it back, as if it were, completely removing the factory seal from the box. There is no official firmware for the CIS countries, but this does not look like a problem, the 2022 language is in the settings and it works, including a quick search for contacts on the numeric keypad.

Pros
  • - Almost pure android (if suddenly someone did not own Sony phones) - A good filter for spam calls (not a feature of this particular model, but in the latest dormouse it comes out of the box without additional hassle, it also works flawlessly here, although occasionally it misses) - Finally, we added a long screenshot, which has been in Samsung for a long time - The villi no longer get stuck near the speaker at the junction of the glass with the body (whoever had a mark II knows) - Aluminum "painted" by anodizing (at least in white version)
Cons
  • - No official warranty in 2022, only seller's warranty - The case now has sharp edges, and holding the phone in your hand is not as comfortable as mark II - It rattles strongly on the surface of the table when the vibration works, because the phone rests on the table at 2 points: the camera block and the corner of the body farthest from it. Another (almost freely hanging) corner of the body and rattles against the table Further for geeks (in the previous version of the review there was a minus star for supposedly not working VoLTE at all, but a solution was found, I apologize if this moment turned out to be decisive for someone): - There are problems with VoLTE: it does not work if VoWiFi is enabled at the same time, and the first registration in IMS services after turning on the phone was via WiFi. You can solve it in one of the following ways: - disable VoWiFi - set the priority of VoLTE over VoWiFi in the settings - reboot the phone with WiFi turned off (after reboot you can turn it on) - perhaps this problem will be fixed in the new firmware version

I like the product, the quality did not disappoint.

In principle, a decent phone, but if you got into such a jungle when looking for a phone, then you yourself know what you are taking, otherwise it’s not worth it, you can be very dissatisfied What I can’t write down as cons, but it is, is that vertical content is cut off at the edges, but it’s still aspect ratio features The main thing about the camera is not to forget that this is not a SLR, no matter how beautiful the numbers are written, in principle this applies to any phone I compared the…

Pros
  • Finally something adequate, after the Xperia 5 I and 1 III a completely different phone, of course it’s not worth 70k, but for the money for which I took it completely The aspect ratio is top, I took it so narrow and elongated that it was convenient to divide the screen into 2 parts and you could use the phone with one hand I rarely use the camera, I took it for other reasons, but it’s very nice here, though you need to get used to it, google the meaning of different buttons because it doesn’t know how to take good pictures in the “basic” and “auto” modes . As for the camera, if you learn how to use editors like Lightroom, then it’s generally top (the last photo after processing in Lightroom)
Cons
  • Doesn't know how to take good photos in "basic" and "auto" modes, so forget about fast good photos In general, the device is very beautiful, but brushed aluminum makes it very cheap (we are talking about the white color of the phone) It comes out of the box on a very, very, extremely raw firmware, which spoils the impression, so ate immediately Among the shortcomings out of the box before the ate, the network often fell off (which I personally had on previous models, but almost no one writes about it), it got hot even during normal use, a system error crashed every few days

I ordered with 256 GB of memory, and 512 GB came. No matter what, but a phone with 512 GB is somehow cheaper than with 256 GB. The smartphone gets very hot on android 12, and the battery charge somehow quickly runs out. With the ate to android 13, everything became normal. Holds a charge and doesn't get too hot. There are still minor flaws, but they are not critical. It's just an inconvenience for me. In general, the phone is good. I recommend.

Pros
  • SD card, Audio jack_ connector 3.5, high-quality video and photography, performance.
Cons
  • The battery gets very hot and drains quickly. No mode - macro, night shooting. The smartphone is delivered empty, that is, there is nothing with it.

Great quality, happy with it one hundred percent!

When charging quickly, the phone becomes warm, which is unusual, but does not interfere with its intended use. Different pros: The main advantages - they are also the main reason for the purchase - the absence of a waterfall screen and a hole in the screen, and as a bonus - a good battery and an unusual color that changes, depending on the lighting, from almost black to saturated purple. Some cons: Of the shortcomings, I can only note one thing: a strange aftertaste from the OS after the…
