I tried out the Sony Xperia 1 V, this shit cost me €1,400 in 2023 but I could make back some of the money by reselling the pair of headphones by pre-ordering.
I suggest you stay away from Sony if it ever comes into your consideration. I get no more OS updates after 2 years and next year is when I will also get no more security updates.
Hardware by itself is amazing. 4K screen and really good sensors, I myself photograph a lot as a hobby with my Olympus and they're really good.
Sadly, software wise this phone sucks. They couldn't fix a framerate issue for a year, some apps were unusable and kept crashing and even YouTube was broken.
The new Xperia phones don't even come with a 4k screen anymore on the flagships like this lol
I will most likely end up going for Samsung again now that they finally use Snapdragon chips in the EU (Remember Exynos?). Probably a Z Flip 7, I somehow really like these phones lol. (Edit: apparently the Z Flip 7 uses Exynos again lol)
Xiaomi is also really good especially for what you get for the money. My dad upgraded from my old Xiaomi 10T Pro to a 14T Pro. Tried it and I honestly wish I had it now. The 0% to 100% charge from the 120W brick is also really nice.
Other great phones are Pixel and Nothing Phone.
Get what you want but just stay away from Sony
