Most telephoto lens if not all in the market is periscope in nature, it just the complex variable zoom range that limits size of the sensor in the camera module without leading more bulk.

Anyway I have been using the phone without tempered glass, didn't use one either for my previous Xperia or any other phone for the matter, gorilla glass is s generally pretty resilient for day to day use if you didn't drop your phone on a tarmac floor. The feeling of using the phone on its original glass is really satisfying, no raised edges and so on

For double sleep you can probable enable Side Sense and installed custom app to lock screen and program one of the side sense gesture to launch the app to put your device to sleep. I use tasker for the dim and lock function but other custom app might work too.

As for Twins app function, you can install the app called Island, this will setup the native android work profile so that you can install duplicated apps, you can also freeze the app individually using island in your work profile, have been using that since my Pixel days.

The Sony Center guy told me that it's not a guarantee that they will give out the Sony style case when you registered, it depends on Sony.

Tasker is an app that allows you program your phone to do a lot automation and stuff, I used it extensively to achieve multiple things, like disable my VPN when in the car to allow wireless android auto, etc.

But if you really want to just lock your screen, it would recommend you to just find one of the few thousands of app in Play store that can do that. I was using this at some point of time https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...roid.screenlock, just install this then enable to Side Sense and program one of the gesture to launch this app like this

I just tested, you are right, it basically doesn't show up when you are running a full screen app like game, youtube when in full screen, I guess it would be kind of annoying if you kept triggering Side Sense when playing game or see the side sense bar while viewing a full screen video.

Checking on game enhancer (I don't play much game), I remembered I can add Kodi in game enhancer to trigger 60 fps mode (older Kodi has problem with 120 fps screen), just checked funny that basically all social media app is listed in the Game Enhancer, I learn something new today.

I am using this https://a.aliexpress.com/_oo3wGFS, this kind of case is really light weight and sturdy, important thing is that it has a cut out for the shutter button so that your shutter button would not feel mushy (although they could have increase the cut out, Xperia Pro-i version was better because they left a big cut out for it)

It's the telephoto assembly, there are mechanical moving parts that allow the lenses to move to change the focal length. Just turn around the phone and look at the telephoto assembly, you can see the lens moves to position when you click the shutter button to turn on the camera. This is perfectly normal.

Nah don't think so unless you really shake it profusely, if it's like normal usage like gesture control of the game, shouldn't be a problem.

It's dual sim with SD card combo, if you use the micro SD card, you can't use the second sim slot for the sim card.

When the telephoto camera is activated, all the servo motors are energized so it won't move, when you are not using the camera, they are not energize hence it can loosely move, that's the physics of the phenomena.

Is that a problem in long run, I have no answer to that, normal usage like gesture control of your game shouldn't be a problem I guess, it's rather mild movement. But to shake it violently (such as tng shake game x 10,000 times) all the time that, enough induce audible rattling sound from distance, only time will tell. Putting on my engineering hat, I will tell you that all moving parts will have a design life, especially if it goes beyond the boundary condition of its design. So take care of your stuff, pakai common sense. I am pretty sure all camera OIS mechanism is also susceptible to damage if it's violently impacted. To have moving parts in general will lead to vulnerability.

On a separate note, my Xperia pro-i also has rattling sound (due to movable aperture diaphragm), camera still work till this day (2 years and 7 months) although the wifi is busted, a good whack on the phone can fix it for a couple hours before it goes kaput again (suspect defective soldering connection issue due to constant heat abuse)

Been away for some time, just tested this on my unit, no issue. I did it manually as well to make sure i have really low shutter speed below 1/80, no red dot in the middle. Hopefully, your RMA process is smooth

The setting is not available unless your carrier activates it on their end. I am using Maxis, they didn't activate it. You maybe able to convince them to activate it for you on their end but there's no guarantee about it.

I didn't see Xperia 1vi in Maxis' list though

Hi just to let you know that using shisuka and pixel ims made wifi calling work for me. See the icon now becomes wifi and calling.

Did you get the wifi calling logo on the status bar like I did? Yes I am using Hotlink postpaid

No I am not using Xperia 1V, I am using Xperia 1 VI, EC72. Yes, wifi calling is enabled on *#*#info#*#*.

Plenty of money for voice over wifi haha

It's marginal upgrade, a little bit brighter, a little bit louder, a little bit longer in zoom, a little better upgrade cycle. Probably doesn't warrant an upgrade over 1v. Heck, I don't even think it's warrant an upgrade over my Xperia Pro-I, if it wasn't the faulty wifi.

There isn't a single news about the Sony case from Sony.

Fyi the wifi calling can be quite choosy, doesn't work in my office wifi but works in my house, sometimes need to toggle and untoggle wifi calling to get it work again.

Just got my style case, it's nice and all that but I am pretty happy with my aramid case, the look and feel of things. Anyone interested, letting go for rm100. Haha

Haha you wanna buy mine with discount? It remained unused.

By the way I am surprised that they still do the bundle, provided it's earphone bundle which actually I quite like.
