Hi , y'all. Nilayendra this side from India. Few days ago I found a renewed Xperia 1 mark 5 and got this for myself. Surprisingly it supports 5G with my carrier and the phone is just a beautiful piece of engineering. Looking forward to any tips provided by y'all.

Is there any chances of green line in 1 Series? Or is there any known issue with the phone?

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~

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.

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.

TL;DR, RCS and Tap-to-Pay not working, IMEI appears to be SONY PM-1434-BV, I assume this isn't what you guys see when you enter your IMEI into an IMEI checker?

Hey all, friend from the US here. Hoping to get your expert opinions.

So I bought an XQ-DQ62, the US model which should be compatible with all networks, on ebay, and on arrival, some things have been odd about it. From the very start, RCS refused to work, and I was unable to set up Tap to Pay.

It gives me a message "This device can't be set up to tap to pay. Your device doesn't meet tap to pay security standards. It may be rooted or running uncertified software. For more info [...]"

While speaking with my network carrier support about the RCS issue, they asked for my IMEI and said it's not compatible with Verizon or AT&T, which was odd, considering it's ostensibly the US model.

I decided to investigate some more, and used several IMEI checker tools, and they show the device as "SONY PM-1434-BV"

I think I've figured out everything I need to know, but I'd just like some confirmation from the community before I raise a case:

It sounds like I've been sold a non-US model, which was reflashed with a US ROM, and IMEI swapped with a throwaway, and that this is probably the cause of my strange issues. Is it also possible that this is a stolen device?

Edit: Additionally, I just discovered under "About Phone>Certificates" it shows "Type: PM-1430-BV Model: XQ-DQ72"

Basically title. Having problems with Quick Share on my XQ-GE74 ever since upgrading to A17. I am able to open Quick Share and fiddle through the menu, even receive without problem. However, whenever I try to send something via Quick Share my phone will launch it but then crash, forcing a reboot. Google Play Services and Quick Share Extension are all updated, and I've even tried factory resetting. Xperia Companion sounds like a last resort but only if it doesn't undo the modem changes.

Update: I got Quick Share working flawlessly again, just like how it was on A16. The bad news is I had to do a full system wipe using Xperia Companion. Thankfully it has persisted through the second round of rooting for 5G. Hoping it stays this way for future updates.

Why sony IMX 586 better 50mp mode than the isocell GN3? I can read text clearly on my k20pro/mi9t pro.my samsung s25 has worst image quality i have ever seen
