HI Guys,
i have been using my Sony Xperia 1 VI for about two months now and i sadly have to admit i'm dissapointed with the phone.
First of all i want to mention that i really like how Sony operates, and i really do love the products they do. I was always considerd "Sony Fan" and was proud of it. I own two Sony's TV, speaker, headphones, 4x Playstation consoles, and several other, minor prodcucts.
I always loved the brand, the quality, the design. I always recommended their products to others, proving that "My Sony TV is still working while your's Samsung managed to get broker 3 times in the same time period (same price range tvs).
I was more than happy when i realized that i'm going to have another Sony product, and that it is going to be Xperia 1 VI. A phone which was announced by many as a complete phone with amazing camera, huge battery life, wonderful screen and many many more. Sadly, i must admit i didn't receive what i was expecting, and for the first time ever, i'm truly dissapointed whit Sony product.
Nevertheless, i wanted to point out what hurts me the most, at the same time hoping that i simply don't know how to set up the phone in the first place, and maybe the community may resolve my issues in some standard way/procedure. For the rest of issues i'm experiancing, i do truly hope that they will get fixed by patches/system updates. So, just to mention major ones:
1) Super long charging (Nearly 3hrs to full load on regular charger) - this one i have already posted and @SatoruGojo is helping me. I'm going to buy original charger and see if that helps.
2) Battery lifespan supposed to be one of the longest in comparison to other flag phones. Can't measure it in professional way but my impressions are quite standard. The battery holds the phone just ok, i really can't see significant difference when comparing to other phones. While it was announced that it can hold nearly two times more.
3) Camera
- I often can't take good pictures whith full light. Camera is making them overexposured, means - worthless. Not to mention how much time i need to spend to try multiple times. I knew that camera doesn't work well in darkkness, but it seems that it works very bad when it has a lot of light, too.
- when i use camera dedicated button on the side of the phone, it take "ages" to take a picutre. I have to wait until big circle on the screen is loaded. This is extremly annoying and i hope can be fixed.
4) Phone gets very hot very quick! I'm talking about turning on just YouTube or Spotify and after severl minutes phone gets really warm. If i run any other thing on it, it will get very hot and really unpleasent to hold, not to mention to use.
I really dont use many applications, i don't play games, don't watch netflix, just really basic applications that should overload the phone that much.
I think it's worth mentioning that i am using original Sony case for the phone, but still, i don't believe it should look that way.
Last thing to mention is that the part that ussualy gets hot is the small strip on upper left phone's edge
5) BT communicaton seems to be very laggy. When i connect the phone to speaker (also Sony) it seems that there is significant lag in communictation while using for example Spotify or YouTube. Same thing happens with headphones, car audio, any other bt device.
Happy to hear from the community if it is only me or you too have similar issues with the phone?
Cheers for anyone who can help with this, even if only to some extent.
