Powerful all-rounder with a clear focus on photography

  • Camera quality
  • Camera options and ease of use
  • Battery life

The Sony Xperia 1 VI is an extremely strong phone. You will mainly buy it for the camera, but it also performs excellently in other areas. In addition to the camera, the computing power and battery life are particularly notable.

The camera is very good. Quality comes close to DSLR cameras, the phone combines options with ease of use. Do you always want to have a semi-professional camera in your pocket? Then this phone is a very suitable choice.

I was able to test this phone in exchange for an honest review.

Photography app:
The photography app offers many options that can be set manually. Yet Sony manages to keep the app user-friendly. Although it does help if you have some knowledge of photography and photography terms. You can set most things yourself quite easily, such as focus control or exposure.

The memory can also be expanded with an SD card. Extremely valuable for a phone that doubles as a camera.

Lenses:
The quality of the photos is high. Very high. The hardware in combination with the software ensures that you can take photos that are sometimes barely distinguishable from DSLR cameras. Thanks to the 7.1x zoom lens, you can also capture objects that are further away very sharply. The phone avoids overly aggressive sharpening, resulting in natural and detailed photos.

In low light environments the quality drops somewhat. Which is of course to be expected, but it is a shame. The quality is not bad, but it is clearly less. There are plenty of options to increase the quality (manually).

Bokeh mode works well and offers nice contrasts. Here too, the comparison with an SLR camera is quickly made. The Xperia simply does this very well, and a lot better than its predecessors.

AI tracking is useful and ensures more consistent quality and sharper photos. Heads, eyes, bodies and faces are carefully tracked.

All in all, this phone offers you the opportunity to take amazing photos, which are often difficult or indistinguishable from photos taken with a 'real' camera.

Gaming:
The hardware of the phone is strong enough for good gaming. Even (online) games that require a lot of graphical computing power, such as Genshin Impact, maintain a very high frame rate. In any case, always above 60fps. The phone fits reasonably well in the hand, although it remains a phone and not a controller. The phone does not get warm while gaming, even after prolonged use.

Display:
The screen is good. You can immediately view your photos in high resolution. Colors are pronounced and the image is sharp.

Sound:
The stereo sound is very good for a smartphone. It doesn't sound very tinny and the stereo also sounds nice.

Design:
The design is not groundbreaking, but it is sleek and beautiful. The phone is easy to hold, and the grip pattern on the phone makes it easy to hold. material feels high quality.

Battery Performance:
The 5000mah battery is very good. The phone easily lasts 2 days with normal use. With (very) intensive use, a long day. I find this very important in a phone, because I find nothing more irritating than having to charge during the day. So a big plus.

Accessibility features:
I do not use additional accessibility options myself, but it is important that they are present. Text size and screen colors can be easily adjusted. There is also a talkback function that reads out text. There is live transcribe, which converts conversations live into text. There is an accessibility menu and one-handed mode. And of course there is voice control in the phone.

All in all, this is a strong all-rounder with a clear focus on photography. Do you always want to have a powerful camera in your pocket, but also value gaming and battery life, for example? Then this is a great phone.

Nice phone

  • Beautiful design

I had the opportunity to test this smartphone and am very satisfied. The photography app is easy to use and offers many tools. The lenses are good, with sharp images and good AI tracking for moving subjects.

Gaming is very easy to do on this phone. The speed and ease of use are top notch, thanks to the powerful processor. The 6.5-inch display not only also offers vibrant colors and excellent clarity.

The sound of the speakers is clear and full, which provides a great experience when watching videos and playing games. The design of the Xperia 1 VI is slim and stylish, and it fits comfortably in the hand. The battery performance is impressive, easily providing a full day of use without recharging.

The accessibility features are also well developed, making the phone suitable for various users. All in all, the phone offers an impressive combination of photography, gaming, and everyday use.

Fast and nice device

  • Fast system
  • Easy to use
  • No charger

This device is fast, has a large battery and is great to use for photography and gaming. I had the opportunity to test the Sony Xperia 1 VI and am very happy with the result. So it is a fast device when it comes to loading apps and games. I no longer suffer from stuttering like I did with my previous device. The transitions are very smooth. In addition, it has a beautiful screen with bright and vibrant colors.

The sound for videos can be adjusted in various ways under playback quality. We really liked Dolby sound. Nice sound (and loud, as desired of course) for a cinema experience. You can choose the settings yourself or let the device do the work. I also have a Sony TV. This made casting videos to TV very easy. You're done in 2 clicks. What was also easy was setting up the apps. I had chosen to use a USB-C cable and this installed all my apps from my old phone. The design of the phone is also beautiful and practical. This fits comfortably in the hand.

If you like taking photos, this device is recommended. You have many functions on it. When you open the camera you arrive at 'regular' photo taking, with automatic settings. Automatically adjusts the lens you need to take the best photo and you can zoom in nicely to which object you want to capture. There is also a 'pro' function, where you can set everything yourself (Zoom, ISO, etc.). When creating videos, you also have different choices in resolution (HD, FHD, 4K) and frame rate (24, 30, 60, 120). Even the product presentation option, if you want to post a video review. Then you have slow motion and bokeh. I was not yet aware of the latter, but it was very fun and with great results. Sharp object and blurred background, which looks very professional.

Gaming on this device also goes very well. You can also use different settings with 'game improvement'. You can demand more from your phone for the best performance. This may reduce the lifespan of your battery. So far this is about two days of use (compared to my current device, which I have to charge twice a day, a nice improvement). There is no charger included, which I think is the biggest drawback so far.
