Do the mark 8 review pls
@fcfdroid Says:
I'm from the future and I will say that having a 1080p screen in 2026 is a terrible idea for saving money. All phones must have a minimum of a 2K display and with Sony a triluminos display. Otherwise it just feels cheap unimpressive and unappealing.
I agree with everything else though: they need better intuitive user interface image processing and cooling for their phones!
@KishorBalachandran Says:
Tell sony to change their front design. Don't suggest chunky Bezels. Tell sony to make standard industrial design like oneplus or samsung doing. Back design is fine but front design is terrible. So when you review next sony phone you should say what i said about sony in ur video. Bcz we can live with that small camera punch hole design. Camera hole is totally fine if we get fully boarderless display like oneplus or samsung have. There are lot of dislikes with sony phones but lets start with design. Support if anyone think my openion is right.
@almehadihasan3844 Says:
Never understood your problem with the naming of their model. It is not that difficult or annoying. You always make it sound like its personal. And you know it really well, in tech this naming convention is quite common, just not in smartphones. So why act so surprised.
@KevinValdovinos-b3s Says:
If Sony stops making phones, I won't own a phone at all.
On my Momma. No 🧢
@IrfanullahOsmani-x8u Says:
Why didn't you make your own phone instead?
@markevansmoore Says:
They need to bring back the psp phone
@VexalAntronWrites Says:
watching you videos on a 1080p 5year old 60hz laptop screen makes the experience real
@justintillard8597 Says:
Let me buy the Xperia from you if you still have it ?
@MarsLos10 Says:
I know I'm two years late on this video but I feel like Sony is making phones just for fun, it doesn't take it seriously xD
@RedzuanCiLz91 Says:
They did with latest Xperia 10
@gotoastal Says:
Sony dying would be bad. They are the only ones still allowing you to unlock the bootloader, have an OLED panel, a headphone, & microSD while being supported by Lineage OS since they properly release their kernel modifications to comply with GPL—something the Chinese brands don’t normally do. Not to mention the 5 & 10 series (5 now discontinued?) are phones that actually fit in your hand—which Mr. Brownlee pointed out that you can’t reach the top on these massive phones. That price range would be great as well since the 10 line just a bit too underpowered.
@alandav8572 Says:
If I ever get an android, it would be a Sony! Stuff is too notch
@shdwlead Says:
Why can't you say it straight, Marq?? Sony will end up like NOKIA if they doesn't listen to our needs!! Just point it out loud
@Phillydreaming Says:
wow, they really took this video to heart. all the suggestions he made ended up being how their phones are made now.
@NHRTYu Says:
Gng if the image is like overexposed yk what you can do to fix it tap on the screen literally all it takes is pressing on the screen and it will automatically adjust the brightness it's not that hard
@Unimog-h9o Says:
So are you saying this phone is better than the apple phone??
@Shu-f6h Says:
$500-$600 to break in and get users to mass migrate. Mid range is the market to win imo.
@csasdwwewadwa Says:
dude the intro is so smooth??
@EP-pg3xs Says:
The new Xperia 1 VII now is now doing the 1080p screen.
@HopeUrio-r6q Says:
Love❤❤❤❤❤❤
@RaduEnea Says:
I would like to see a phone with bigger display, like 7,5 inch or even 8 inch. I think it would be a good ideea because many people use the phone now for youtube and video games where a big screen is welcome
@vme50kfc56 Says:
After 2 years rechecking this video I think Sony really took the opinions, we have new standards 10 and still crazy expensive 1. Just please someday bring my 5 back.
@shotosyoutubedump Says:
tama, they should give what the people want so they could do what they want as well
@shotosyoutubedump Says:
heatopia seems really similar to what game we played? pet soc? not really but whatever we could try playing on pc…
@Kevin27182 Says:
Coming back to say you still ruined the xperia 1 series
@heavensoulja Says:
I’m watching this video because I want to leave the Apple Ecosystem completely. And Sony is my first choice.
@lukahmad5683 Says:
Its already 2026 and I just realized Sony still making phones, I only remembers Xperia XZ2 Compact back in late 2010s. Man, if only I can afford the latest Sony phone. I really like those specs.
@eksarkash Says:
This shows how badly you want them to survive and do good ♥
@iam_bryanreyes Says:
I just got back from a trip to Taiwan where I filmed an entire vlog using the Sony Xperia 1 VII. Honestly, I was really happy with how it turned out. Super convenient alternative to lugging around a big camera for vlogging. 😊😊
@rbhe357 Says:
Keep the high spec but partner with carriers. That's where the vast majority of people buy theirs.
@MikeyBizzle Says:
You made them actually do it
@user-xg7zt1dx8c Says:
Guys, I'm using my Sony Xperia Z5 instead of my Nokia feature phone. It's amazing and looks flawless. I can't think of any smartphone that comes in gold colour.
@BahmanNaseh Says:
Opening the SIM slot is not protected and anyone can remove it!!!
@Mrcatcut3239 Says:
Sony... Yeah im talking to you sony. Just copy iphone's camera processing... By doing this you would be the top phone brand in every catagory in the world...trust me❗
@prakashthapa6927 Says:
Why not a japanese dub so rhey can understand deep
@MichaelKanyi-p1j Says:
I think the Xperia 5 & 10 series is their budget series, but even that Isn't enough ig. And actually i think they might never make a budget series, so the best approach is to just wait for newer models to launch so that the older one's drop price, take the 1 mark ll(the one I currently main)it's still very good in 2026 and is very affordable at like 300-400$ range
@Fhnsgkdfkvsgmvdg-y6u Says:
And they haven't...
@fuzzywuzzy3619 Says:
lol, they do make a 800 phone
@meehenry5993 Says:
Z ultra was my favourite and last device from sony smartphone, they support is suck
@MrBahjatt Says:
We all know that mkbhd is basically a front for Apple; and that is not by choice, Apple is a cult, and without recommending it (without actually recommending it) is because you lose support quickly.
@whoatemycupcake521 Says:
just got one in 2025 for 250$ which is crazy for a 1400$ 3 year old phone
@MatsecondAcc Says:
Sony Xperia 1 V is lose against Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra and Oppo Find X6 Pro also Xiaomi 13 Ultra
@Maxipad2025 Says:
❤❤❤❤❤
@nobodynever7884 Says:
Im utterly confused about xperia phones. I cant never find the North American version that has all the 5G bands. What carriers are you guys using?
@nicpeeps Says:
They listened to this with the latest Sony 10 vii,
@kaimaxfield6484 Says:
This is the most informed video on the Xperia that I've seen. Thanks! What do you see as the most robust, reliable phone you know of that is a decent brand?
