Sony Xperia 1 VI...

Well, that's pretty disappointing. Really poor image processing. Was considering tis but think I'll be sticking with Pixel.

I find that is par for most phones these days :( my Note 1 had a much more natural looking image without the chalkiness you get with most phones now which are using software processing to get a higher resolution image. (EDIT: Actually I still keep it around because for 1080p HD video capture it is still quite decent and has surprisingly good spatial sound recording).

First proper day usage after being up from 7am. At 50% now.

Whelp my 10 V is still saying 9 days, 3 hours and was last on charge mid afternoon Monday, albeit with about half that screen time - my daily use is more like 30-60 minutes.

EDIT: I do also turn off stuff like Bluetooth and reduced location services, etc. unless I'm using those features though.

Device cost actually looks good, but airtime portion expensive.

Are EE like O2 where you can pay off device and keep it while cancelling airtime within 14 days?

I'm not sure, but when I ordered there was a notice to say to ring them if I want to pay off the phone in full, which looked like it was priced at £850 ish (can't quite remember), which is a LOT cheaper than buying the phone from other places.
The air time isn't cheap, but it's cheaper than all the others I looked at with the same phone. I got a 30% discount for some reason.
 
Yeah looked to be around £850 for phone so thought worth a punt at that price but if won't let you pay off phone and keep it then no point trying.
 
Does anyone else's 1 vi rattle? It's really quite noticeable on mine. It's particularly if shaken left and right. Sounds like something sliding in a slot, and it could be coming from the camera.
 
Think I'll wait for the VII, though the VI has been £999 the last few days - really want the red but not @ £1399.

Only phone I'd consider leaving Sony for is the ROG 9 Pro but no SD card make it impossible, that and camera performance aside, it's meant to be pretty good.

My Xperia 5 ii has developed green lines on the screen, which revealed it was a common issue not only with Sony phones, but others that used Samsung AMOLED screens, and I may have been lucky that it lasted 4 years without issue.

Is this still a concern on the current phones? I can't find anything that indicates Sony acknowledge any issues much less addressed it.

With there being no 5 vi, the 1 vi would be a logical replacement, as I've generally favoured Sony phones all the way back to the K750i (I'd still like it if they brought back the sliding camera cover that activated flashlight) but as they are now so niche, can't help but think a lot of issues are just swept under the rug and never addressed.

Is that a solid green line or lines or faded green image retention style lines? as AFAIK the first one only affects a small number of devices and isn't routinely happening.

I had several of the older Galaxy Note phones people were concerned about the AMOLED screens degrading but it hasn't happened to mine aside from the original Note which now has a slightly tired look to the screen for want of a better way to put it.
 
It's now two solid green lines lengthwise on the screen, the first appeared about 2 weeks ago, the other on Monday.

Was holding out to see if there were any New Year offers, but it needs replacing soon.
