The UnboxingTN Verdict

out of 100

The Xperia 1 VI combines flagship performance, versatile cameras and cutting-edge connectivity, but its software, display resolution and charging hold it back.

What is good

  • Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and Adreno 750 deliver flagship performance.
  • Wi-Fi 7, 5G and Bluetooth 5.4 provide excellent connectivity.
  • The triple camera offers a 52 MP wide sensor and telephoto versatility.

What is not

  • The 5000 mAh battery and 30 W charging are underwhelming.
  • Android 14 software is a weaker part of the overall experience.
  • The 6.5-inch OLED’s 1080×2340 resolution is only adequate.

How the score breaks down

  • Performance 90
  • Camera 77
  • Display 72
  • Battery 28
  • Connectivity 98
  • Build 64
