1 IV and its extremely unpleasant issues for its wanna-be!

[AlexandruRai]

Dearest community,

We are a bunch of people testing Sony devices. Sometimes we stay in the shadows letting Sony screwing up by itself, sometime we shout about things that SHOULD NEVER ever exist for such a premium trademark. More, we are helping clients to solve their issues and to make indeed like.no.other smartphone trademark experiences.

So lately we reached a Xperia 1 IV (XQ-CT54 - check the exif!) and we tested partially with these conclusions that would be amazing if you can send them in a way to Sony engineers to be improved...

1. Very bad/odd/old pixel processing in many situations (shots took in Basic mode in the link below). It really needs a basic computational mode for basic shooting: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/kt7aay4jgyboohr/AABk6GIC-pCklmhvBv-U7lVQa?dl=0

2. The building quality it seems very bad as long as sand particles are creeping between the margins and the glass screen... Have a look:

3. And not the last nor least: GETTING HOT!!! Dearest, did you know that every phone that has waterproof/water-resistant protection and under too much heat from inside or outside the isolators are getting weaker and weaker and bye bye whatever protection certificate it has? We are working in partnership with a service center and we were told that if the phone is in too much sun heat or cpu heat worse: both, event after few hours it was never under any waterproof/rezistance certificate. So why are these devices so expensive?! Software, hardware?!

In the name of Sony and still curious or die hard fan users send these to be fixed immediately!

With great sadness for users and Sony to implement its ideas in real facts.

Thank you!

Someone asked in email if the problems were solved: NO!

If you care, you TEST IT/CHECK IT (the devices) or buy XPERIA, not using Galaxies nor 13 Pro's and talk/ask meaningless questions/telling stories about how it's functioning if you already sent the issues to the engineers... Right, isn't it?!

PS: Seems now that redirecting from email to here for seeing the reply, it's buggy/inactive.

I believe it's still being looked into, hopefully there's a fix soon as it's such a shame for a device with that kind of features to die out due to software related issues with no fix. 

[AlexandruRai]

It seems that the designers are not using Xperia devices, not their testers nor their workers (support/care forums) or even some users do not care. And Xperia is just wanna-be of the first of, but in real life they don't overlook nor willing to have the best as their marketing now is showing. Testing and designing by hardware to software and vice-versa it's not ok on Sony and this is an old odd.

We care, and we hope for the best...

What testers? 🤣 I have read somewhere else that the heat issues have been addressed with an update. Maybe you can check if you have the lates which you may have already done it.

Saying that, the 8 Gen 1 runs very hot and Qualcomm & Sony are aware. I haven't read much more on other devices with the same chip but I assume they will face the same issues only that some may have managed better with heat dissipation with their design. The 8 Gen 1 should have been scrapped entirely by Qualcomm as 4nm is not really quite there for mobile devices yet unless you go thicker than an Xperia..

There's really no need to speak like that to the community here, I know well what's going on so why are you taking it on me? I suppose you didn't understand my sarcasm.

[AlexandruRai]

It's too much sarcasm in the situation, and it's no need for more gas on the fire. We have good intentions, but please don't...!

The message from the admin or who is it reached by one of our Xperia 1mk4 user... The "admin" is trying to be "sympathetic" with us, but we tell you, you could never be empathic (as you should!) if you don't care about users, but care to some of our people's words, mostly when they trashed 3000 dollars on 2 devices. One has screen CT72 (and other has CT54), and both lens issues!!

How would you be in the place of out team having these issues without showing and without being someone to flag these too, knowing its wanna-be?! Do you think being like that will help people understant that Sony screw it big time or what?!

Look, after not even an year how looks its ultra marketed crap screen made by who?! Who to repair when these devices come from China or Taiwan?! This is the XQ-CT72 model...

Also look how crap is the Zeiss lens... Worst crap as 5 years ago named G lens... Have a look at how deformed the lens show on the margins! And yes, this shot was not made by its crap Pro app, praise GCam and their modders!  

Below a sample of Pro stock camera... Wanna be 1500+...

It's most praised TELEPHOTO at 1500+, Gcam shot auto...

And by Pro stock auto mode... It could't even focus!

So hardware and mostly software crap that Sony loves to put in actions and to fool people big time!

Thank you once again for being kind with with our team and deleting the real life proof!

Cheers!
