I think it is normal, basically all Xperia 1 VI, as long you hand grip your phone normal then shake at the phone edge angle with a bit force but fast pace, you will hear the mechanical sound,

If other owner can verify if this also happen to them then it would be great

From my testing, that mechanical part is loose at most of the time, so far the only time it is tight and when i shake it there is no sound is when i go to Macro Mode in camera apps, but i only test Macro mode so far, maybe there is some camera mode will also make the mechanical part tight and unmovable during that mode

There is a post discuss about it, there one guys using xiaomi 14 ultra, he said that "Not sure if mine was also that loud but it's probably due to recording, there is some ratling noise. But be glad that you didn't hear Xiaomi 14 Ultra, it rattles even in pocket during walk😃"

I guess it's a thing for 2024 "high-tech" camera smartphone

I found out my Xperia 1 VI when capture picture in 48 zoom in Manual Mode or 2x Zoom in Photo or Bokeh mode, there will have red dot in the Middle which I believe is a Hot Pixel,

In Manual Mode unless I make it 1/2500 ISO which make the picture very dark, then the red dot/hot pixel will always appear in the center of the picture.

If the center in the white/bright color background, then it will usually not being capture, the red dot/hot pixel will gone, but if u in dark/black background, the red dot/hot pixel will appear

it just a single red dot, and seem like only apply to 48 or 2x Zoom in Photo and Bokeh mode and it seem like only able to notice it when you trying to capture close object, if i try to capture scenery with a lot color like taking a far scenery i could never able to spot any hotpixel at all (could be gone or it just a white dot being hidden)

i believe this is a software issue and not a hardware issue huh?

Does anyone have this same issue? is it normal? or anyone know any fix for this?

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1hwx...dfm?usp=sharing

check the picture out
1. Hot Pixel/Red Dot in the dark background
2. Original Picture
3. Hot Pixel/White Dot in the white background
4. Original Picture
5. Blur Picture and seem like No Hot Pixel or could be being hidden in white background

p.s. 1capture to 5capture are not original file picture, the last 3 picture in the file is original upload through my phone

Update:

Way to Reproduce this issue
1. Photo/Bokeh/Manual Mode
2. 48mm or Above 1.9x Zoom but Below 3.5x Zoom
3. Taking picture of Non-Landscape/Scenery such as Single Object with 'Dark' Color Background (landscape/scenery should able to capture the red dot too but have to in dark color background condition)
4. In Manual Mode if shutter speed set to 1/80 or above, even if it is zoom 2x or 48mm, the red dot will gone, but any shutter speed below 1/80 it will present, the lower the shutter speed the obvious the hotpixel will exist

The most easily way to capture it is that place you photo on flat surface (disable the Night Mode), then capture it, u should able to see the very very very small red dot pixel/hot pixel in the middle in the Camera Preview and also Capture Result Picture. Also please make sure you close/disable the Auto Night Mode, because Night Mode will remove the hot Pixel/red dot.

If anyone can help verify this, I would really appreciate it, just want to double confirm if it is just my Xperia 1 VI is a fault unit before I can eraze all data proceed to send to Sony Center for Warranty Claim and Diagnose purpose.

Can anyone try to take a picture in Photo Mode then make it 2x Zoom, cover the lens with your hand to achieve full black condition, capture it and upload to here? The most easily way to capture it is that place you photo on flat surface (disable the Night Mode) and make sure the camera preview show black background, then capture it, u should able to see the very very very small red dot pixel/hot pixel in the middle in the Camera Preview and also Capture Result Picture

can you send me the link? i just send it to sony service center jus now, i try the demo unit on the spot, there no issue in the demo unit phone oso, guess i hit the jackpot. 1 week of usage, everything is fine but now i kinda doubt sony built quality, will proceed to extend the warranty for additional 1 year again

Yes same issue like mine, and seem like not really a extreme rare issue, i bet there are some owner have this issue but still not notice it yet as well. Not sure how long it take for Sony Service Center Malaysia to deal with this issue, I do hope they can just replace a new phone to me which may give me more confident in the phone reliability. Wish they can return the phone without issue to me before the Style Cover with Stand get ship to me also.

Yes, after checking with Sony, Sony Xperia Product is not eligible for Warranty Extend.

Monday around 4PM have submit my phone to The Curve Sony Center, then Tuesday after my phone reach the Sony Service Center for Repair, still didn't sure will be 1:1 Replacement or just get spare part to fix the issue, for now need to wait for 7-14 days to get the fix complete, will proceed to follow up to ask what is the Repair Status again Next Week.

Website didn't update the Fix Status, so I contact the Service Center myself and they told me my Xperia 1 VI is ready to be pick up. Just pick up my Xperia 1 VI and everything now looks Perfect. 7 Days including Weekend to fix my Xperia 1 VI Camera Single Red Dot in 2x Zoom issue, they mentioned there is some issue on my Lens, so they change the Lens only, not quite sure which Lens they referring to but Personally I think maybe there is a Dust inside the Lens that cause the Single Red Dot on screen? Anyway, I think the Warranty Claim Process pretty straightforward.

So far anyone update to the latest firmware? I didn't change yet cause I see various feedback, when open camera there is some humming noise become louder, also 15hz on idle change to 30hz on screen now to resolve the screen lag issue when screen idle 15hz jump to 120hz. If anyone already update to latest firmware can share abit your experience on the Camera Humming Louder noise after update?

Check this out https://www.reddit.com/r/SonyXperia/comment...hen_camera_app/

I not sure if this occurred but you can't hear it, but some complaint that when take video, it capture the humming sound as well. Not sure it coming from Speaker or the Camera's Motor as many claimed. Do let me know if you found this issue in your Xperia 1 VI

This is weird, seem like a lot people have this issue after update, and from post below one of the user record it and upload in drive, it seem quite loud

https://www.reddit.com/r/SonyXperia/s/bLZOluRFCr

actually now when open camera apps, i put my ear near the upper speaker (like pick up phone), I actually can hear very small voice sound like air vent to me, when i only hear it when camera apps open and i have to put my ear stick close to the upper speaker.

in your case, can you hear it too?

I pulled the trigger to update to latest firmware, I can confirmed the noise did really get louder, previous version your ear have to stick close to front speaker to hear it, now your ear can have maybe 3-5cm space and able to hear it.

In most normal case such as facing your phone while taking picture/video, you won't hear it, but taking video in quiet condition did would pick up the noise a little bit.

I won't say it become worse and impact a lot but it definitely louder than before and not sure if it a good thing to the hardware or not. To notice this noise I have to make sure my ear is close to the upper speaker, from the forum some people have same experience like me, some said it become so 'loud' when facing the phone 25cm also can hear the noise, the recording they share in drive also sound very loud and not exactly same like my case which is much more quiet.

For now i just wanna enjoy the smoother navigation experience for this update.

Do keep me update if any of you notice this Noise when you stick you ear very close to the upper speaker during open camera apps. Thanks.

After you register your Xperia 1 VI, you have to manual go to Sony Reward Profile Page and update your Address Details there, I think you miss out this step, so they call you to work on it. Not sure if there will be a delay for everyone, but at least from your experience they are processing the Delivery now.

I have talk to the Sony Customer Service before, they mentioned the Sony Style Case will be deliver after 10 August, within 60 days after you have register your Xperia 1 VI to the Sony Reward page, there will be no notification when the Style Case is being deliver so we have to wait for Courier call/sms when they are delivering it.

I registered on 13 July and Update the Sony Reward Profile Address immediately, I believe for those who do the same by right will get the Style Case soon. But there no way to confirm this though.

Currently I just using the free transparent case, the experience really feel cheap, but at least it does it job well to protect the phone so far. I will just wait for the Sony Style Case for now, because I believe the Style Case will definitely feel much more better than any 3rd Party Case.

I just received a GDex Express Delivery SMS, very likely will getting the Style Case today!

[Update]
Okay, Received the Xperia 1 VI Style Cover with Stand! Black Color as the Phone Color I bought, finally can toss away the cheap transparent case! Really love the side of the cover not complete enclosed, so that I still can feel the phone side texture feeling, the back of the case texture also feel really nice.

Now the phone can stay flat on surface unlike the transparent case where the camera area have little bump to ensure camera lens will have some distance from the laying surface. This could be good for allowing the phone completely lay on table surface in a stable manner, but might have some risk to the camera lens as there is no bump to put some distance between the lens and the surfaces, so have to make sure the surface u lay your phone is complete smooth and safe, let say if u lay ur phone on rough ground, there is a high change ur lens will be scratched.

By the way, really love the Ring and the Strings attach to the case, it feel so safe when taking camera in high ground area (such as bridge, balcony, high building, etc). the Stand built-in also very useful for me, best free phone case i ever get so far, really glad I go for the early bird promotion, not sure current extended early bird promotion still can get the Free Style Case or nt, if yes, no doubt this early bird is really worth it.

p.s. Really glad i didnt go for the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL, after checking the official announcement of spec and price in official google Malaysia, Xperia 1 VI is cheaper than Google Pixel 9 Pro XL and better in most aspect.

The risk of getting Xperia 1 Vi from non-Malaysia Sony Store is the warranty claim, i only notice a very very minor and non-obvious defect (you can check past message in this post, i have share the manufacture defect in details),

The warranty claim only take 1 week to fix the issue with no charge involved. Sony Malaysia Service Center don't accept repair service for Non-Malaysia Xperia too, so if your phone is out of warranty you required some fix service such as Screen Replacement due to Crack/Deadpixel/faulty, etc, you may having a hard time to find 3rd party phone fixer to fix it with non-official spare part.

But yea, affordable price come with some risk, you just having Color Error for RM4830 which is consider worth it.

Btw does HK Xperia 1 VI come with some 'Chinese' pre installed apps? does it have built-in Google Playstore?


I can't believe Official Malaysia Sony in Lazada have discount unyol RM5.8k, can you share screenshot or link? I try to find from my lazada app Sony Official Malaysia don't have such promotion to allow you to make it RM5.8k yet still can get the free WH-1000XM5 Headphone, Temper glass and Transparent Case.

But for my case, after i sold the WH-1000XM5 with RM1080, my Xperia 1 VI bundle is consider only RM5387.4
- Ori Price: RM6467.4 (RM6499 - RM30 New User Voucher - RM1.6 New User Point)
- Extra Cashback: RM1080 (Sold Free Gift WH-1000XM5 Headphone)
- Free Gift:
1. Temper Glass
2. Transparent Case
3. Sony Style Cover with Stand Case

if anyone can get the same early bird gifts (Temper Glass, Transparent Case and WH-1000XM5) with RM5.8k+ which I don't believe 😅 then they definitely should get it

or you are referring to HK/Non-Malaysia Set priced at RM5.8k? if that the case then i think it's reasonable since imported set usually have some trick to lower it's price through Regional Discount and Regional Exchange Rate, etc, and I am curious what headset it come with? i believe only Official Sony Malaysia giving the WH-1000XM5 headphone in limit time

hmmmmm seem like there's good and bad, Because personally i put all my cash in asnb even the sold WH-1000XM5 and get rm1080 cash also put to saving then monthly only pay around RM270 😂

lazada is really have a great deal on 8.8, but the later u get the Wh-1000XM headphone, the harder u can find a buyer who willing to pay a good price, but let's say you sell it with RM900 u still able to make it total RM4900.

But i believe lazada won't eligible to get the Sony Style Case with Stand, i have ask Sony Customer Service before, it have to purchase through Sony Store Online to eligible for it, but it hard to say maybe Sony won't really care as long you have submitted the register for interested form, register warranty and update profile address, and while stock Last, you might get one too. Anyone who get the lazada promo and try to get all these gift is the True Winner, they get the Product in a Price which is Extremely Reasonable.

Lazada Winner
- RM5849.1 + Free Shipping/ RM10 Shipping Fee?
- WH-1000XM5 Headphone (can sold for RM800-1000)
- Temper Glass (around RM20)
- Transparent Case (around RM20)
- Sony Style Case with Stand (around RM200)
- Sony Bag (around RM50)

Roughly, RM4569.1 for a FULL Package (no additional purchase needed) Official Sony Malaysia Xperia 1 VI. The Only Cons, Must pay RM5849.1 one off in Cash or Credit Card, No 0% interest instalment, risk of not able selling headphone with good price and may not able to get Sony Style Case with Stand.

p.s. Lesson Learn, wait until very last day of promotion to purchase it, keep survey until the very last day only then make final decision hahahahhhahhahahaa

New firmware: 69.0.A.2.38

Just curious what is the change log and couldnt find it anywhere.
