I upgraded from a Sony Xperia 1 III to Sony Xperia 1 IV+headphone jack (important for me)+can add external memory (important for me)+fits well in the hand+stereo speakers are quite good (improved even more from the 1 III, it’s louder and more base)+awesome screen, everything is smooth and nice to look at+much brighter screen from 1 III+the tactile feel/vibration when typing is nice (slight improvement from 1 III)+really fast doing anything really, the phone is speedy+double tap the screen to turn on+front facing camera is good, ultra-fast taking pics (shoots a more natural look), nights could still be improved.+selfie camera improved from 1 III+camera button on the side+bigger battery from 1 III makes the phone run for longer+power saver mode works quite well, didn't notice a performance hit in normal use.+5g works really well/fast+has a quality premium feel+for some apps, it allows you to customise what alert they sent eg. only alert for posts, but not general alerts, very handy.+Battery care option is quite good+While the phone does heat up with usage, after the latest firmware update, it’s gotten cooler than before even when fast charging+/- Default gallery is 'Google Photos, however it's only useful if you pay an annual charge, so found 'Simple Gallery Pro' for a once off price £0.79 which is quite good.+/- Had to get Nova Launcher to help organise my apps section. Odd that by default it doesn't let you group/hide apps+/- has a notification light (for messages etc), but a bit weak-when charging it doesn't say approx time left for charge, only %-Randomly turns on (to lock screen) like you touched the phone every so often, even though there are no messages. (this has continued from S III)-the fingerprint scanner is a hit and miss.-camera app sometimes hangs/crashes if you are constantly opening and closing it when out and about taking pictures-seems to unlock randomly in the pocket when it should be locked.-no phone charger I understand why, still for a premium product and price I would have expected it.Overall very happy with the phone.

Took the jump from Apple to Sony and I'm glad I did. Came from an iPhone xs and this new Xperia just does everything much better.Camera is great, especially the 24mm. There's very little noise in the images and video quality is very very good. The camera works like the Sony Alpha systems and you can control pretty much every setting.Only the 120mm setting gets a bit fuzzy in quality. You can shoot in raw and jpeg and images are very accurate and not oversaturated or overly sharp but just right.4k 120hz screen is superp and brighter than my iPhone and battery life is good also.there are some good creative settings for both display and speakers, which sound very good for a phone.You will quickly get used to Android and I feel there are more settings to play with than in iOS. You can pretty much change everything in settings and generally you can tweak everything a bit more to your liking than in iOS.Offer came with the headphones which makes it a good deal. They are very good and battery last forever! Without them the price is in line with Apple and Samsung's most expensive phones. If you're tired of Samsung's bloatware get this phone instead it's mainly got the things you want and is free of the nonsense apps.Only dislike is it doesn't come with a charger.Seems normal these days with both Apple and Samsung.

Sony have refused a replacement phone insisting that the brand new phone I paid over £1000 be sent for a repair. It took me 45 DAYS to get to that point with Sony technical support during which time the return window on Amazon had expired.The phone had a faulty screen / video processor, the screen had some interference and banding when playing video and scrolling etc. Then the screen kept flashing black and going unresponsive for no reason.The phone I received was brand new and boxed and clearly not of merchantable quality, yet only a repair was offered. I am demanding a full refund, and will go back to a Samsung...
