Editorial report

Sony Xperia 1 V 12 GB / 512 GB / Global technical sheet

The Sony Xperia 1 V suits buyers looking for a premium phone with a highly detailed display and versatile cameras. Its trade-off is the rear main camera's resolution and aperture, both weaker than those of most phones launched around the same time.

The 6.5-inch OLED display has 643 ppi, a pixel density among the highest of phones from its time; its 120 Hz refresh rate is typical. This version pairs 12 GB of RAM with 256 GB of storage, and the Xperia 1 V is also sold with 512 GB. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 puts its hardware ahead of most phones launched around the same time.

The rear main camera combines a 1/1.4-inch sensor, among the largest of its time, with optical image stabilization. Its 48 MP resolution and f/1.9 aperture are weaker than those of most contemporaries. The telephoto camera adds 3.5x optical zoom, among the highest of its time. The 5000 mAh battery has more capacity than most phones launched around the same time, while 30 W charging is typical. Connectivity is also better than most, with Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3. Overall, the Xperia 1 V is among the best phones of its time and earns a NeoScore of 7.9. It is a compelling all-round fit for buyers who prioritize display detail, hardware and optical zoom.
