Full Analysis

The Xperia 1 V is a Flagship Phones product from Sony. The Sony Xperia 1 V is an Android smartphone manufactured by Sony. Launched on May 11, 2023, it succeeds the Xperia 1 IV as the past flagship of Sony's Xperia series. The device was announced along with the mid-range Xperia 10 V, with expected release dates by June 2023 for Japan and European markets and July 2023 for the US. The Xperia 1 V marks the last Xperia to have a 4K display and 21:9 CinemaWide display, as its successor, the Xperia 1 VI, opted for an LTPO FHD+ display and ditched 21:9 aspect ratio display with a more conventional 19.5:9 instead. Software updates have been consistent so far, which matters more than the launch specs long-term. Low-light photos hold up better than the spec sheet alone would suggest. Our editorial team scores it 4/5 based on typical specs, feature set, and price-to-value for this category, alongside 950 community ratings, making it a very good choice for most buyers within smartphones.

Our Verdict

At approximately $966, the Xperia 1 V lands as a very good choice for most buyers. If backed by a reasonable warranty matters most to you, it is worth shortlisting alongside other flagship phones.
