SonyXperia 1 VI XQ-EC72 5G Dual 512GB 12GB RAM Factory Unlocked (GSM Only | No CDMA – not Compatible with Verizon/Sprint) Global Version Smartphone – Black

Firstly, I am using this phone on AT&T without any issues in service. But the requirement is that I'm using an unchanged Sim from the previous phone which att has approved (website thinks I'm still using that phone and keeps giving me an option to upgrade).- Signal quality/ reliability; same as the previous phone.- 5G; no clue, I didn't subscribe to that plan and my area doesn't have it. So, no loss.- Bluetooth; connects to headphones/ speakers/ earbuds/ OBD2 sensor/ etc without issue- Wi-Fi; fast and has band 7- Camera; doesn't have the over-enhancements of Samsung, but the signal-to-noise ratio is higher- Biometric login; fast and accurate- Battery; accubattery rates it at 98% capacity, which results in 16 hrs on, 67 hrs off, 40 hrs combined.- Screen; 1080x2340 (396 ppi), pixels are not countable unless you've got your face closer than 2" from the screen. For reference, my previous device was 550 ppi- Interactions (ux); instant response without lag or studder- Root; fast and painlessFinal notes, I highly recommend rooting and getting "AccA battery" to stop charging at 80% and based on temp, if you care about the longevity of this device.

DO NOT BUY IN THE USA. Read carefully, because I want to stress that this is a great phone for those outside the US and Canada. The camera quality and function is top notch and a perfect blend of manual control and quick snaps. I've never had a phone with such good speakers, it kind of reminds me of a Bluetooth speaker box. Screen quality great. Been with Samsung for the last several note series phones and this phone steps up the functions and specs while also having an SD card slot and headphone jack. It also can't be said enough how much the small but not extinct top and bottom bezel is appreciated. I've not once hit the screen on accident like I did in the Samsungs. But....I'm having to return it because the mark 1vi isn't released for the US and Canada. Turns out that means no 5g connection (which was good for me cause it sucks around here) and no Bluetooth phone capability. It would say it's connected but it wouldn't work. U can Bluetooth music but not make phone calls through BT. According to Sony we could expect issues with Wi-Fi connections but I can say I never had an issue connecting to and using Wi-Fi. Hopefully Sony releases the mark 1vii to the US, I love the design changes between the last years 5 and this year's model 6. If you're outside of the US or Canada I would highly recommend this phone.

No me arrepiento de comprarlo, es una bestia tanto en fotos como videos, excelente cámara, excelente hardware funciona muy bien en chile con red 5g

I am a Sony shutter, and this phone complements my camera.

I purchased this phone from another selling site. Its a great phone. It does work in the US. You will want to go to Reddit to see how to change the bands . But after you do that the phone works fine in the US. I missed micro SD and headphone jack on my phones.Sure they are on mid range phones, bit I love flagships. This phone is awesome. The battery life is amazing. I have the 500 GB ROM storage and I put a 1.5TB micro SD card in the phone. I like music, videos, emulation and lots of pictures.I understand I'm the rare power user, but this phones is what I like to do all those things on.Calls are clear and wi-fi works perfectly. Emulation is very effective on it and rarely heats up if at all.I recommend this phone, if you are a power user or high media user. It doesn't have the 7 year warranty of a Samsung or Google. Its only 3 with 4 years security.That's the only reason why this is a 4 star phone. Wish I could give an extra half star. You will not have all the Samsung or Google apps installed in the phone either, if your use to that stuff. This is a bare Android experience. However, You can always go to the play store and download most Google phone Apps, if you want a familiarity experience .The phone is expensive, but I know what I want in a phone and willing to pay for it.My closing sentence is this. If you like media, you need this phone for storage and headphone jack. The phone functions are fine and the camera.. Well I'm still learning it but it seems fun so far. Great phone. IF only Sony gave better incentives to buy it. Like make it have special features with the PS5 or 6. Have better marketing events. Highlight the media features to this device and how they make life easier.Do what Apple does by creating a ecosystem or Owning experience for the device. Make it the foundation to be a bonus support for you other devices . Sony has a winner here , but needs to market it better. Perhaps if these phones sell more, we can get our Micro SD and jack back into our phones.Device rating 8.9/10

Amazing phone. Popped in my Verizon sim card and it works flawlessly.

It works really good in other countrys, I got a really good experience

I purchased this very expensive phone in July 2024. In just a few months it began to almost constantly restarting itself. I asked the seller for technical support and they refused since the phone was no longer in warranty.
