Btw anyone know how to claim the Sony Style Case? I have register the Device Warranty as well, but there is no option to redeem or claim the Sony Style case.

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.

what do you mean tasker? is it a 3rd Party apps or a built in feature? i don mind having an apps to lock screen, but i abit reluctant to install 3rd party apps for certain specific feature, i hope my phone can be as clean and as 'stock' as possible

gosh, the promotion of free the case sound 'scammy', i hope i would get it becuz the so call premium transparent case is so OILY and like a Fingerprint magnet

Hmm yes no double tap to sleep unless u installed 3rd party home launcher which you could have that.

For display, if u need the best accurate as possible in term color white balance, select Creator mode & custom white balance to D65.. Bravia mode is giving punchy color which I don't really like especially if I'm taking picture..

After register and go Sony rewards portal update your profile address. They will send to you through parcel within 4 weeks.. this is based on Xperia 1 V experience. Same approach. But make sure u didn't register for interests before product start sales in M'sia.. it based on your email. So your email register for products & Sony rewards should be the same as what u register for interests for Xperia 1 VI..

Just wait patiently..

Anyways the IV Sony style cover with stand, the stand don't use it too frequent. It will break.. but I heard mark 5 did improved after they redesign. So mark 6 using same design as mark 5..

Mark 4 not good for landscape mode as it put force on the stand design. Then mark 5 change the orientation of stand..

Any sony center have this Xperia 1 VI on display? Went to Sunway but they don't put it on display.

D65 look like too Warm to me, but I do curious what others phone will see, later going to take a picture, then send it to my ROG Phone 6, side by side to see the color different on screen.

[UPDATE]
- OK Tested, side by side, same picture and video file capture in xperia, but play in PC LCD screen, Xperia 1 VI and ROG Phone 6, all in full brightness, Xperia 1 VI is set in Standard Display mode.
- PC LCD is quite lousy screen, video and picture look so dim and color are darker. Xperia 1 VI look brighter compare to ROG Phone 6 and but the color not as contrast as my ROG Phone 6, seem like ROG Phone 6 over-contrast the visual on screen, but yet is it still dimmer compare to Xperia 1 VI.
- I feel Xperia 1 VI should display the true to life color, to me ROG Phone 6 over-contrast visual is kinda better visually, but Xperia 1 VI brighter yet still punchy color should be a balanced one. I think if I wan the same Contrast level as my ROG Phone 6 maybe I can go and adjust Xperia 1 VI display setting toward Warmer.

When they send the parcel will they notify you or give any tracking number through email? I mean if suddenly an unknown call say I got parcel I might have false alarm as there are a lot scam.

It's a bit confusing, because i receive a email mentioned as long as you register the product and update profile address u will receive it as well without ever mentioned about the "register for interest" matters, but I did register interested before the sale started.

Lalaport, Midvalley..

Hmm not sure.. let's wait. But based on previous 1 V owners in forum, indeed they received the case after that..

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 end up go for Screen Lock EX (RM3.99), a very clean apps without ads, free version of it, after u lock screen ur touch on fingerprint reader to unlock phone won't work, u have to use password, but paid ver will resolve that.

I like the side bar menu feature too, ROG Phone 6 also have it, but ROG Phone 6 is like globally available at all time, Xperia ver seem like when you open game it wont work anymore but for game xperia game enhancer is kinda have same feature as the side bar menu. Quite satisfy with the alternative solution instead of double tab, I put the apps in home bottom screen, basically instead of double tab now i just need tab once to lock screen.

Also, the game enhancer add apps to let the apps run Bypass charging mode also kinda more limited (even though game can be added, but other apps is very limited) compare to Rog Phone 6, Rog Phone 6 can add fb, youtube, sportify, almost most apps but still have some apps being hidden too but overall more option than xperia, even though it's not really a feature i often use aside from game, but it kinda a software downgrade.

[100% Satisfied] I don't like Punchhole, Notch, etc. Minimum Bezel are ok as long as the screen display 100% of its contents.
[100% Satisfied] Dual Front Stereo Speaker is a must
[100% Satisfied] 3.5mm Audio Port is a must
[100% Satisfied] 6000mah or similar Battery Life
[100% Satisfied] OLED with above 90hz and Brightness above 800nit or similar Screen Quality
[200% Exceed Expectation] Stock/Clean Android UI
[100% Satisfied] At least 6.5 Size Inch screen or above
[? Pending] At least 2 new android version update
[? Pending] Low hardware failure rate or phone hardware simply died before even have at least 2 years of usage
[200% Exceed Expectation] High Performance hardware to ensure all Apps run 100% smoothly and capable to handle game like Pokemon TCG LIVE (Trading Card Game) without issue (able to support Genshin Impact or high performance game is a plus but I don't really play them)

[Don't Miss it anymore] Notification LED on screen
[Don't Miss it anymore] Double Tab to Wake Up/Sleep Phone
[Don't Miss it anymore, Existing feature 200% Exceed Expectation] On Screen Fingerprint Scanner
[100% Satisfied] Split screen feature
[Try to move on] Lock screen picture auto change to new picture (setup the pictures folder by myself) everytime I wake up the phone in lock screen to check the Time

[100% Satisfied] SD card slot as I noticed my ROG Phone 6 is already used up its 80%+ storage space already
[200% Exceed Expectation]. Better Selfie and Main Camera Quality
[? Pending] Better 1st Party Accessories such as Great Design and Quality Phone Case
[200% Exceed Expectation] Lighter overall weight after apply temper glass and phone case
[100% Satisfied] Better build quality and durability with Good Water & Dust Resistance

Day 2 of using Xperia after 10 years, what I like about it compare to Rog Phone 6:
1. Side Fingerprint is more comfortable, Reader is more accurate and fast than Rog Phone 6.
2. Screen Color looks better.
3. Lightweight, Smaller Size and Comfort to hold compare to Rog Phone 6
4. Software and UI too clean, basically 95% stock android, UI Home fit more App and Folder 5 x 8 Grid (Xperia) vs 5 x 7 Grid (ROG Phone)
5. Camera just take way better picture compare to Rog Phone 6 (Macro，Zoom, Wide, Portrait, Video, Selfie, Everything, bonus Mic Record Sound Better too)
6. Side bar menu have 3 option instead of 1 compare to Rog Phone 6
7. SD Card Slot for offline and better Music File also for picture storage purpose, as Rog Phone 6 don have it
8. Device is Cooler and Smoother on Game (Pokemon TCG Live only Tested since it's the only game i play now)

Things I feel downgraded abit:
1. Bycharging charging feature is Limited
2. Global Equalizer is Missing
3. UI not 100% smooth due to LTPO and Android 14 Issue (heard it will fix in Android 15)
4. Built-in Duplicate Apps Feature is missing
5. Special Gesture to open a Hidden Apps Menu is Missing (customizable)

Overall, I guess move on from 2 years old tech Rog Phone 6 phone will definitely feel better, glad move back to Xperia after 10 years. Now I just hope to get the Xperia 1 VI Style Case with Stand, the Transparent case is really too oily on touch and make the whole phone feel cheap and uncomfortable to hold.

Usually premium case for Xperia like devilcase or others can be found in shopee.. usually I get 1 and get 1 cheaper at shopee.. you may find seupdate in shower for this shop. It sell quite a numbers of Xperia case, located at Thailand. I used to buy it there.. other cheap case I'm using imak all these while. Another choice is Spigen. Consider affordable within 100..

Tempered glass I used to Gor from Taobao. Shopee also got but not the expensive one. The glass feel good with affordable price.

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)

Photo Samples for Xperia 1 VI which cover from 0.7x to 7.1x in shopping mall

Everything in auto mode.. no manual touch focus just press shutter button

Ps: so sorry about the photo orientation. Maybe can download them and rotate for easier view

Attached thumbnail(s)

What do you think of the camera quality? So far reviews I watch says mostly wide 24mm is good.. the rest is not up to their expectations comparing to other flagships.

hmm 24mm, 48mm is really good.. crispy clear.. 48mm works only in Photo (it utilise the center of sensor optically) while Video mode will be digital zoom only..
for 85mm & onwards i would say okok.. i did compared with i15 Pro Max, s24 ultra, huawei Pura Ultra.. i think S24 Ultra > Pura Ultra > Xperia 1 VI > i15PM..
it depend on how you see it.. hmm S24 ultra & Pura Ultra seem brighter & less noise (more smooth).. Xperia and iPhone seem got the pixelate noise when zoom in.. e.g. 170mm at my sample.. u can see the noise..

basically other phone processing the entire scenes are brighter in overall.. s24 a bit oversaturated.. huawei is warmer color tone at all time.. iPhone 15 Pro Max really not bad in my opinion.. Xperia seem darker exposure in indoor.. for certain scenarios, it is overexposed.. so u need to tone down exposure.. one down thing about Xperia is looks blur at 3.5x preview screen.. just press the shutter and photos looks better than preview screen.. the camera preview screen is not sync as output.. but it did provide HDR preview this time in my opinion

this round Xperia auto mode is better in term of more adjustment can be done in camera UI like shutter speed.. i can set 1/100 or 1/125 to capture human picture to avoid blurry output.. Night time or low light - to get better picture, my suggestion is use main camera sensor and go to 3x/3.5x instead of switch to periscope lens.. periscope lens default focus range need around 20cm away from subject.. unless u switch to telemacros and use manual focus adjust to get closer focus range.. main camera output really great.. i attached sample photos at indoor environment..

for certain scenarios, you may apply creative looks preset filter like vivid/natural/bright to get much appealing photos..

3.5x periscope lens


1x lens with digital zoom to 3.5x

Have some werid experience, whenever u open camera in Xperia 1 VI you will hear a voice at the back, like a clicking sound,

i think maybe it is normal some mechanism at the camera hardware is opened up or wat, but if u hold the phone tightly and shake hard abit the phone willing keep having that clicking sound

wonder if you guys also having the same behavior in ur xperia 1 vi?

wont so obvious unless u really pay attention to it.. it is OIS mechanism working after camera apps is opened..

if u go try Xiaomi 14 Ultra/Vivo X100 Pro demo unit if got chance, even change lens also hv the sounds.. and the sounds will be recorded in video recording..

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.

Because just now i doing something like TnG promo like u need to shake ur phone to reveal the voucher, but when shaking the phone keep heard the noise, i guess this phone is not for playing anything that required u to keep constantly shaking the phone such as Game or those shaking phone to get coin/voucher thingy?

by right constantly shaking the phone like forcing the camera mechanical part moving will cause damage right?

Also I am curious, this phone is allowed 2 Sim, but actually is it after u placing a Micro SD Card, then this phone cant have space for 2nd Sim Card already?
