One more thing this phone "should" be capable of that the 1-IV could do is with the gaming power management system. The system that enables you to bypass the battery when plugged in and gaming.....
On the IV you add the Google MAPS app as if it were a game and apply the battery bypass so that when on a long trip and using MAPS the phone would not overheat! Maybe Android Auto can also be run in this same manner. YMMV

Comming from the xperia 1 iv I got mine 2 days ago. It seems much better in nearly every area (look&feel, cameras -> gr8 new app -> AF is improved -> picture quality seems over all better, battery life is a big improvement over the iv, screen - brightness is a big step up, BT stability with my WF-1000XM4 is much better, thermal management ist better),...
The only thing I'm missing is the notification LED. Funny how you get used to such a small function.
There are a lot of things I still have to test out e.g. the soundquality of the headphone jack, but first impression is very good.

Many galaxy phones are even worse, and they still had no effect on me and the preponderance of users that own them. I do wonder how prevalent this sensitivity is...

Sony make the best in class TVs and the best on the market Reference Grading OLED/LED Monitors. They know how make good screen. I saw screen in 1VI and it is very good hardware.

There is a pwm test that measures only 240hz pwm. This is incredibly low and prone to cause discomfort to pwm sensitive folks.
GSM Arena should evaluate and report if this finding is true.

If by "available in the US" you mean subsidized by a carrier, then yes you are short of luck. Just prior to is release, 1V wasn't much cheaper.

Face unlock would be a big help in everyday usage. That's really a bummer. But at least the fingerprint scanner is quite good.

Is it comparable to an LG? I have a 5iii, and an old G8 and V60. Can anyone here comment about the supposedly improved worked sound quality? I'm curious.

Shameful from Sony , customers are expected to fork out £1300 and they couldn't even supply a data cable . How to alienate your customers.

Same as my comment in last year's Xperia 1 V, the #1 strength of the phone is her AF tracking capability which is unmatched by any other smartphone in the current market. However GSMarena still hasn't spent any ink to address this.

If high quality, cabled audio and (especially) a removable memory card slot are mandatory requirements, the Sony is the only game in town after LG threw in the towel. I for one will trade these crucial features over a slightly weaker low light performance in zoom mode any day of the year, every year

Hello, I watched your YT review and noticed that the sim tray doesn't look like hybrid design. Are you sure it's hybrid slot?
Thank you, love your work
