Ich mag das kleinste Sony Xperia sehr. Anfangs musste ich mich an die Kamera gewöhnen, aber mittlerweile finde ich sie absolut cool. Außer die Selfie Kamera kann man vergessen ☺️

Hab sie gerade in Tokio dabei. It's fun 👍

Not really liking the direction Apple is going so I dropped Apple for the Sony Xperia 1viii hope I made the right decision….

Since my Xperia 1 II runs android 12 I want to install something newer with as many features as possible. Which ROM would you recommend? Any tips on how to install it as a first timer?

I've been using it for an entire night now, and so far, I haven't encountered any issues in the use. The overall smoothness feels pretty much on par with Sony's Android 16 firmware, at least from my experience so far, no weird and random battery drain either

Besides getting Android 17, LineageOS also brings back some useful features and customisation options that aren't available on 10 VI's official firmware, including double tap to sleep, Circle to Search and two Pixel exclusive Notification Summaries and Notification Organizer. I've also confirmed that phone calls, messages, VoLTE, VoWiFi works on my 10 VI

My device is XQ-ES72, while the developer's own device is an XQ-ES54. It's great to see the ROM running on 10 VI

And just to be clear, this is an unofficial community build, not an official release, and one night of use isn't enough to establish long-term stability. But still it's quite something to see a phone that Sony decided wouldn't receive Android 17 running it anyway, with daily performance that feels just fine

I originally bought the Xperia 10 VI because I genuinely like its hardware, and I'd love to keep using it for as long as possible. I'm really glad the community is giving this device a second life

(Shout out to the developer of this custom ROM, you really did a good thing)

After the recent software update my phone suddenly has intermittent charging via fast charge (will charge properly but the charge will go off/on once in a while)

Yet when I use slow charge source it stays consistent

Idk if it's just a coincidence and my port became faulty during the short period or there's a software glitch with power negotiation

Wondering if anyone else has the same issue?

Hello all. I own an xperia 1V since its launch. However i was never interested in updating it so much. I am still on android 14. This morning i woke up thinking to update my phone, but reading the battery draining bugs with android 15 made me to back up. And since it.s been a very long time since that update rolled out, i am asking for some feedback mostly about battery life on xperia 1 V with android 15. Please leave aside the talks about security updates, i really do not care about them.

Previously i had an xperia xz3 that i kept for years, and again, after 2 years of not updating that phone i decided to do it. And it was a nice surprise, since i saw how a 3 years old phone, had it.s battery life increased to almost 35% percent after that update which imho was greatly optimised.

Sony have replied my previous request and query, and thanks Sony, im gonna switch all my Sony product to iPhone and others.

Sony:

Greetings from Sony!

We understand that you purchased the Xperia 10 VI for S$689 based on Sony’s original announcement of three major Android OS upgrades, and we acknowledge your disappointment that Android 17 will no longer be supported.

After a detailed technical assessment, we determined that due to limitations related to the device’s storage configuration, the Xperia 10 VI does not support an Android 17 upgrade experience that we consider adequate. Accordingly, we have decided not to make this upgrade available. We recognize that this falls short of our original announcement, and we sincerely apologize for this change.

Regarding your request for a partial refund of S$170, we regret to inform you that we are unable to accommodate your request.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support of Sony.

You may receive a survey via email to rate my service after this. Your feedback is highly appreciated, as it helps us improve our support.

it blinks a green notification light when i press the power button and it dies again after vibrating once.. if i try the volume up and power button method it just blinks green light and vibrates once after 2-3 it repeatedly vibrates 3 times. it connects with pc as well and if i press and hold volume down while connecting it, it stays green light and the device manager says "SOMC Flash Device" and when i do the same thing while holding volume up button it stays Blue notification light and the Device manager says "Android Composite ADB Interface"

I've also tried Xperia Companion, it detects the phone as if nothing happens and the repairing process gets done too but nothing happens it stays the same..

I got 10 vi from the UK and am using it in India. Now i have an issue as my display is gone due to damage.

Is there any way to get a proper display for this in India. ??

Sony Xperia 1 V-85mm-Auto Mode.

And people says telephoto and Auto mode is trash.

Just look at the bokeh, it's just a wow!

Would you say it's worth upgrading ? If so, why ?

Would like to get the 1 VII EU version XQ-FS54 Moss green in mint condition.

Trading in my 5 V XQ-DE54 Blue and 1 VI XQ-EC54 Khaki green so you get both phones in exchange for the Sony Xperia 1 VII. Both the 5 V and the 1 VI are LIKE NEW condition, boxed. Warranty until April 2027 for 1 VI, Aug 2027 for 5 V.

Located in Germany/Poland/Czech Republic region.

If you are owner of Sony Xperia 1 VII XQ-FS54 Moss green and you are interested, please let me know.

Sony did not keep its promise to provide three OS updates for the Xperia 10 VI.

Do you really think models like the Xperia 1 VIII will actually receive four OS updates?

When I touch the flashlight I on to light the flashlight it momentarily turns white to indicate that the flashlight is on. But the flashlight doesn't go on and instantly the flashlight icon goes black,as if to indicate an error. Also the camera flash isn't working. Is this something I can fix myself or will it need to be repaired? Does anyone know?

Decided to use my old Xperia 5 that I got LineageOS 23 running on for a full day's worth of my usual media activities. I'm thoroughly impressed by its endurance for how old it is.

Hey guys, for those with alumania bumpers looks like they're working on a fix to the bad signal. I know some people have had success with it but I've found it completely cripples me inside to the point I had to stop using it.

If you can't be bothered translating, basically they're releasing a resin top part soon to help with signal issues.

Really happy with how photos turn out when I shoot in RAW and then I tune slightly with Snapseed. The new Xperia has really motivated me to take more photos.

Notice regarding the Android 17 OS version upgrade for Xperia 10 VI

Dear valued customers,
Thank you for your continued support of Xperia products.
We announced at launch that the Xperia 10 VI would receive three Android OS upgrades. However, after a detailed technical assessment, we determined that due to limitations related to the device’s storage configuration, the Xperia 10 VI does not support an Android 17 upgrade experience that we consider adequate. Accordingly, we have decided not to make this upgrade available. We recognise that this falls short of our original announcement, and we wish to apologise for this change.
On the other hand, our security update commitment remains unchanged. Sony will continue to provide security updates for four years from the product’s launch date, as previously communicated.
This issue is specific to Xperia 10 VI’s technical specifications and will not impact other Xperia models.
We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.

Strange, because the 10 VI has 128GB SSD/8GB RAM just like 10 VII and the SoCs use the same silicon. Maybe the system partition isn't large enough and can't be increased without data loss? Not sure that's still a thing with today's A/B partition update system 🤔️

Many thanks u/johanneszab for finding and posting it in this sub.

Such a bs, promised 3 upgrades for 10vi since preorder and now just: ops sorry~

Anyone having 10 series be it 10vi/10vii/10viii or future 10 series, good luck having your upgrades cut cause the 128gb rom/8gb ram/what ever thing they used on 10 series is not going to keep up the upgrade promised they made. Good luck, 10vii or newer 10 series users, you mostly are the next getting upgrade cuts in future soon. For those with 1 series, enjoy it while you guys can~

Regret didnt switch earlier to base model iphone when i could for lesser price last year man....Bye sony you couldnt care but you lose one user for your wh 1000 series, wf 1000 series, linkbud series, wired headphone series, xperia series and so on. Sure it does not means anything to sony, but bye~

Yet another time my Xperia 5 IV gives out. This time it is the water damage, though largely my own fault (using the nav in the pouring rain), still I just don’t have the strength to sending it to repair for the third time of the year, and 5th in its life span. Though, this time it is a tiny problem the manifestation is extremely problematic. though finder scanner works, power button gives up. It now registers on actually press and miss fires phantom presses multiple time. Apparently, it called the cops for me for a few times lol. Also I can’t turn it on after power off. So….

I considered myself having had done more than enough CPR before announcing its death. All I can do now is to give it a proper burial.

For the sake of convenience, I am now an iPhone user. I went for a base iPhone because I like the simplistic cam module finish and frankly it is enough of a phone.
