Sony’s New Xperia 1 V Phone Is Cinematic—and Still Too Expensive

WIRED Gorgeous 4K display. Incredibly grippy. Good battery life. Headphone port and microSD card slot. Physical camera button and manual mode. TIRED Too expensive. Nothing else comes in the box. Camera app is confusing. Lackluster software update policy.

There's a lot to like about the Xperia 1 V, and it has a few features that are rare on high-end phones these days, but it's not for everyone.The Xperia 1 V is instantly recognizable as a Sony phone with its signature tall and slim profile. The first thing that struck me when I picked it up was how grippy it felt and how light it was. There'son the back, though it doesn't feel or look like glass.

As great as the display is for movies, there's a lot of content with black bars on the sides. When I streamed one of the free HD movies in Sony’s Bravia Core app, it had a big black box all around it. Most games also have black bars flanking the sides. You also might want to turn Creator Mode off when you’re not watching a movie and go with the brighter, more saturated standard mode, or things can feel a little washed out.
