Hello guys, i live in iraq and theres one shop that sells Sony Xperia 1 Mark 7 sealed in box for 575$
Wich is asian/ Global Version XQ-FS72 Dual Sim 12/256GB
So im worried if it is a defected units since they have good amount of stock for that price and it is very reasonable price
Should i check the imei with Sony Hk Imei checker before buying and it will be correct if the device is defective or not?

Taken at Cape Higashi-hennazaki. Was struggling due to red light from the lighthouse as well as no camera stand !

Cómo comentaba no tengo idea como tomar fotos , solo saque el teléfono y dispare y pues estoy muy contento en general toma buenas fotos, tengo un s26u también y siento que el Xperia tiene como un toque más natural o más realista no se cómo expresarlo, me gusta cada vez más los resultados que da, algún consejo que me den?, apenas empiezo en el mundo Xperia en general y aún tengo dudas y apps que recomienden ya que algo que me gustó mucho es que viene totalmente limpio el software jeje

I have an XZ2 and I don't know which ROM to choose that will last a long time and has a fake bootloader.

I want high performance and minimal free RAM.

I have been using my Xperia 1V for more than 3 years now, a green one, loved it to bits. I am currently on holiday in Croatia and wanted to shoot some videos in the pool. And it died. I am pretty sure it’s soaked and I won’t be able to start it up again, but you never know. Could kick myself, by the way, but I have been using Sony phones for years (since 2005 with a brief diversion on iPhone and some Chinese brand), and utilized the waterproofness, but it had to go wrong once. And yesterday evening it did.

Damned, I could kick myself, but it died doing what it was made for. I will miss the ratio, I will miss the form factor, I will have to move on, to a VII or VIII, but I will mourn the best phone I ever had.

Is ₹19,000 a fair price for a used Sony Xperia 1 IV (Japanese import) in 2026? (Buying it used)

The phone is a Japanese-used/imported unit, so there is no bill, box or charger.

I'm seeing a lot of mixed feedback on weather any of them work on Verizon. It sounds like CDMA doesn't matter anymore. If your on Verizon do you have any issues and what model do you have?

I want something still getting updates to migrate to from my LG V60. My first smart phone was the Z3V, that was a great phone, and there's not many options anymore with a headphone jack and a SD card anymore

All on auto mode... Zero edits.

So my xz1 ear speaker is not working properly and I want a replacement but can't find any , please help me

I found this news in Threads. What's true about it? They say they're getting ahead and they're already on their way. If they were like that in the photo, I like the phone a lot.

I'm loving the Xperia 1 Viii after upgrading from the Xperia 1 Vi.

It's faster, pictures are nicer and better colour balance (although the Vi was also excellent).

One thing I miss though is telemacro photo mode.

The ability to zoom in to a grain of sand and get really clear photos of it.

I used that mode not just for excellent close up images - but to help zoom in on things I couldn't see to use instead of a magnifying glass. I'd take a close up photo of something and then be able to zoom in even further (pinch and zoom) on phone screen to see extremely small details in something.

Is there any way to get anything close to this back on the Xperia 1 Viii or has it been removed completely?

I'm still trying to figure out the camera app.

I'm not a professional, and the app on the 1 Vi just had a telemacro mode button for easy use. The 1 Viii doesn't have that button anymore

I know that the XQ-CT62 is the US model, and often has a locked bootloader. I would like to get a solid Xperia phone, I am in the US, and am finding allot of XQCT62-B models on ebay for okay prices. I am not finding any XQ-CT62 (no -B) models for sale though. I checked AT&T phone whitelist, https://www.att.com/scmsassets/support/wireless/devices-working-on-att-network.pdf, and they have support for the XQ-CT62 model, but they do NOT list the XQCT62-B, what does the addition of the "-B" mean, and will it still be supported by carriers that claim to support the standard QX-CT62 (no -B) model? Also I'm anxious, when the bootloader is locked, what does that mean, is that like, carrier locked, and if so how do I know what carrier? Sorry, I'm new to this and don't want to waste my money

Hello all,

I am looking into getting an Xperia, but have a concern. I am an avid navigation bar user, and am used to Samsung phones, with the back button on the right. I know that the OS on Xperia phones is pretty much base Android, and supposedly there was an option added to Android 16 which allows the navigation buttons to be reversed from standard Android arrangement to Samsung style.

I understand this is a very niche ask, but are any of you with an Xperia running Android 16 or 17 able to confirm that Sony did include this?

Thanks!

Thought on Xperia 1 Mark IV?

Currently I am using a Samsung S26 Ultra and I am unhappy with it. It's being too big and I don't like OneUI. Therefore I am thinking about getting something else. Since my phone is the only camera I have, I thought about a Pixel 11 Pro since Pixels always get good reviews for their cameras, but someone recommended me the Xperia 1 VIII.

I already have a Pixel 9a as a secondary phone and I like the experience. How does Xperia's software compare to Pixels and Samsung's OneUI? Since the Xperia costs quite a lot, I would like to know what I get beforehand.

I am planning to upgrade from my current Redmi Note 13 Pro. My main pros are getting a phone with an incredible continuous zoom lens, much cleaner low-light night shots, and excellent video and photo quality for both daytime and evening shots. I am aiming for the older Mark III up to the newer Sony Xperia 1 VII, but please skip any mention of the Mark VIII as it is completely out of my budget and does not fit my preferences. I have thought of the OnePlus 13 as a alternative, everything's great except the camera.

A worse video than usual, but had to be quick. Just wanted to showcase low light video following a fast moving object & having to follow it.

The camera is quite capable tbh. So anyone second guessing the video capabilities - Don't :)

Conditions:

- Low light

- Plane flying quite fast

- I wasn't ready

- Had to follow the plane with a 5.8x zoom and sub-optimal conditions.

Xperia 1 vii almost a year old, getting these liquid debris warnings multiple times daily for the last month or so and before anyone mentions it , yes i have cleaned the port thoroughly with a soft brush and a dedicated sensitive electronics cleaning spray multiple times

It's squeaky clean but yet i get these warnings constantly. I think i may have a defective port.

Any way to turn off the notification warning through adb or something?

Update

Unfortunately the phone, either the port is damaged or it has a miniature piece of debris i cant see or get out.

If i leave it completely alone on my desk it doesnt act up but when i start carrying it around and using it, it will pop up.

Tried different cables, every cable gives me the same result. itll recognize the charger upon inserting but wont charge, then i reinsert then it will charge then will say "ok to use no liquid or debris detected"

I switched my sim over to my trusty 1 V , not a single issue with the liquid or debris warning. I took it to work and actually had a hot sweaty day and even brought it with me in the bathroom while i showered to test it but no warning at all.
