My last phone was Asus ROG Phone 3. I was too careless with this phone (screen damage 2 times, water damage 1 time) so it only lasted 3 years.

I am looking for high refresh rate display, long battery life, and high quality camera. Having earphone jack and front facing speaker is a bonus. Xperia 1 series seem to tick all the boxes.

The second hand 1 IV was listed for 3.5K on Compasia which is doable for my current budget situation. One other option is for me to use my even older iPhone 6S Plus and save money till I can afford I V. The downside is I need to tahan with the abysmal battery and shattered screen which sucks so much.

I just got a Xperia 1 V,
been thinking about selling the old Xperia 1 III.
Everything works fine, except the fingerprint sensor seems malfunction, it only works after restart, and the battery is low, around 4000mAh, after 2 years of daily usage.

Do the Xperia 1 iii and iv have the same green stripe OLED issue as Xperia 5 ii and iii?

long battery life i cant sure.. but can last for one day from 6am to night time maybe 10pm.. usual working days, listen youtube music, fb, youtube, chrome surfing.. 4~5hours screen on time..
the rest ya it seem okay to fulfill your needs.. im xperia 1 IV user..

so far didnt see people compaints on Xperia 1.. guess display panel are different manufacturer since 1 series using 4K while 5 series using Full HD.. i think not only Xperia 5 have it.. i saw Oppo, Vivo, Samsung also encounter same green line issue.. recent i saw even 5 IV also have reported 1 case in reddit.. i will suggest to avoid 5 series if possible.. somehow the size dimension is nt much different in my opinion.. so i think 1 series is better investment for long term use..

aiks..only left black color cover.


Greetings from Sony Malaysia.

Referring to the email below, I understand that you still have not received the free gift for the Xperia Exclusive Style Cover.

We regret to inform you that the Khaki Green color is out of stock, and since this is a limited edition, there is no more incoming stock for the color. Hence, we will exchange it to a Black color, and estimated to be shipped out in the mid of September.

Should you still not receive the product after the expected date, please revert for us to further check with our relevant department.

I hope this clears up your concern, and your patience is highly appreciated.

At least you still have the option to receive the free gift. Not for me though, since I only got the phone this week. 😡

The Xperia 1 V system update version 67.0.A.4.79 (92mb) was push to live 2 days ago for my phone.

The one thing that's funny is how Sony doesn't release any official patch notes to refer to what is included in the update.

Changelog here https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00295347

Bluetooth® LE Audio Broadcast support added.
Security patch level updated. (August 1st, 2023)

Xperia 5V is introduced.. It bring the same hardware as per 1V, new chipset, new camera sensor for main cam but removed telephoto lens compared with 5IV.. but Sony implement a same approach like Apple is that utilise the center part of main sensor to achieve lossless 48mm camera zoom (optical)..

besides, it also bring updates to Photo Pro, Bokeh Mode.. in addition, they also bring in new app called Video Creator

It seem they are going with different path compared to others.. and im looking forward for future models/generation of Xperia..

Thank you. I'll bookmark this page for future reference.

Side note - has anybody received their Sony official case with stand during the redemption promo period after purchasing their 1 MKV phone? It's been roughly 1 month+ since i submitted my form on 24 July.

Perhaps i should reach out to the customer service to enquire.

anyone using Xperia 5 IV here?

Does it suppprt VoLTE and VoWiFi ?

actually system in Xperia is quite unified across all series especially 1 and 5 series..
yes, it support VoLTE but no VoWifi..

I check maxis website, only these two models listed as support VoWiFi, other telco like digi, celcom i cant see any sony phone listed.

im own Xperia 1 IV MY set.. not.. it dont have VoWifi.. yes, i knew maxis and hotlink portal did stated xperia models, but really dont have the option in setting..

oh thats sad to heard that!

what about other telco like DiGi and Celcom? Do you think they are supported Xperia's VoWiFi ?

so far i had tried all main telco, maxis, hotlink, celcom, umobile.. except digi.. all telco that i had tried, no vowifi at xperia.. umobile had vowifi on my other poco phone models..

i guess it dont support due to software update.. by default, Sony Xperia phone for wifi provisioning call is disabled if we check the phone info .. but im not so particular on that as VoLTE is more than enough for my case..

however, xda forum do have guidance on enable it thru certain way.. but try on your own risk.. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/vowifi-a...quired.4566313/
