The UnboxingTN Verdict

out of 100

The Xperia 1 V combines flagship performance, a sharp 4K OLED display and broad connectivity, but its battery endurance disappoints and Android 13 feels dated.

What is good

  • Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 delivers flagship-class performance.
  • The 6.5-inch 4K OLED display runs at 120Hz.
  • 5G, Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3 provide modern connectivity.

What is not

  • The 5000 mAh battery delivers disappointing endurance.
  • Android 13 feels dated on a 2023 flagship.
  • IP65 protection does not cover water immersion.
