SonyXperia 1 VI XQ-EC72 5G Dual 512GB 12GB RAM Factory Unlocked (GSM Only | No CDMA – not Compatible with Verizon/Sprint) Global Version Smartphone – Platinum Silver

Using this phone as an actual phone I'm 6 days in without a charge and currently at 37%. I shoot a lot of video and wanted a phone with massive internal storage and Sim card slot. Countries I travel to makes Esims a nightmare.I'm upgrading from a Sony Xpiera V, I don't believe it's necessary for a yearly upgrade but for the price this phone is currently on sale for I jumped in.I've read on several postings that the phone doesn't work on Sprint, T-Mobile and Sprint merged a few years ago and T-Mobile absolutely DOES work on this phone.The Micro SD card slot (optional 2nd sim card) is icing on the cake. This allows me to add 2 terabytes of storage making it plenty of room for 4K videos.Also this phone including an audio jack is also a major plus. I can use this phone as an external monitor for my A7S camera and can listen to the recorded audio in real time. Bluetooth works perfectly with my Garmin/Citizen smart watches and all my Bose and Sony Bluetooth earbuds and headphones as well.The VI is slightly shorter and wider than the Sony V. The screen resolution isn't 4K because of this, but the improved battery life well makes up for it.Also, Sony phones DO NOT come with a charging cable or block. I work in Film and have many of these so it didn't affect me, but this is something some people will need to know.Camera quality is excellent as always from Sony. The case in the pictures are the official Sony case for the Xperia VI. It does everything I need it to.

Excellent phone. Works on mid-high frequency 5g, LTE, and 3g GSM. But 3g(gsm/cdma) is almost never used anyway. On verizon you need the mid range plan that offers LTE+mid/high frequency 5g. Solid phone, back glass feels like fabric. Battery is amazing, the phone doesn't get hot, headphones jack has amazing quality with my inexpensive audiophile wired earbuds that don't fall in the street. The screen is incredibly sharp, clear, and bright, and the DL speeds are quick, even on LTE. I could go on, but there are great youtube reviews. Compatibility was the biggest concern.

Great battery, great sound, great design, very light, great camera in manual mode(not thebest in standard mode but works fine), never gets hot even playing games while charging it, headphone jack, micro sd slot, dual sim,etc. Wow!!!

I like the phone very good firm factor design is good screen resolution is super amazing.Camera Quality is something that i like specially the Macro Lens.Battery is good stats over 20% for 12 hours of extensive usage.Good Audio interface and headphone jack for personal audio listening through wired mode.my only problem was with the seller giving wrong listing details on t he listing

The phone is amazing. I checked the IMEI in all 3 places (SIM tray, dialing *#06#, and phone system) and all of them match. Also, checked on imei.info website and it's legit. The reason for me to returning it or not, is because when I opened the box the phone didn't have screen protector (whereas all phones do have it when it's brand new). And unboxing videos show this phone was indeed supossed to have it. When I opened the box, the screen had small amounts of dust due lack of the protector. The seals on the box were there, so I still don't know if this is an isolated case of quality control of SONY or I'm being fooled into a secondhand/used/returned phone even thou I paid full price for it. If the seller contacts me, maybe we can arrange something to avoid the hazzle for both us and keep it, but in the meantime, I'm returning it.Update: Phone works on ATT prepaid SIM card. Even thou I get texts from them saying it's not compatible, it is. When I go to México on december, I'll update to let y'all know if still working (my old phone worked perfectly in both countries)Update 2: I put a mexican SIM (Movistar) in the second slot and it works. So, I have two different numbers and carriers of 2 different countries and still working.Update 3: I'm in Mexico and USA ATT SIM still working with no problem. My mexicsn SIM Movistar also still working. After almost 3 months the phone still working perfectly and without details. No crashes, no weird screen lines, nothing at all.

It's a great phone. The battery lasts a long time and it has features I love that many phones don't have, a 3.5mm audio jack and microsd card slot. It's a bit smaller than the phone trends these days which I love.

While the phone is the latest version of the Sony Xperia, it is not actually sold in the US by Sony. I’m not sure why Amazon chooses to sell this version since Sony customer support in the US can provide no help. I had a problem linking by Bluetooth a set of Sony ear buds but couldn’t get any help. For the money, it should either be the US version or should say so. Very misleading.The phone itself was very nice but I will use my old one until I can afford the correct version available in the US.

I love its Camera quality, the phone's volume of the storage 512 GB 12GB RAM with 5G Dual network and its color, a Platinum Silver color, not too tall in vertical size, a perfect screen size, Value for money.
